Austin Peay found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 84-57 punch to the gut against the Kennesaw State Owls on Thursday.

Austin Peay is expected to lose this next one by 6. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past five games.
