Basketball to Face Austin Peay in 2012 Sears BracketBusters
« on: January 31, 2012, 06:00:36 AM »
The Youngstown State men's basketball team will visit Ohio Valley Conference member Austin Peay on Saturday, Feb. 18, in the 2012 Sears BracketBusters announced on Monday evening. Time is TBA.

The Guins (11-9, 6-4 Horizon) and Governors (9-14, 6-4 OVC) have met 14 times while the Guins were members of the OVC, but have not faced each other since 1988.

The Guins own an 8-6 advantage in the all-time series but the Governors have won the last four meetings.

Youngstown State has not won in Clarksville, Tenn., since a 62-57 victory on Feb. 16, 1984.

The Guins own a 4-4 record in BracketBusters games and are 1-0 against the Ohio Valley Conference, defeating Eastern Kentucky, 66-61, on Feb. 17, 2007.

The Guins visit Milwaukee (14-9, 7-4 Horizon), Tuesday, Jan. 31, at 8 p.m. at U.S. Cellular Arena in Milwaukee, Wis.

Who was that kid that played for Peay back in the day when we were in the OVC. The fly or the flea?
