This season marks the end of two eras for Austin Peay sports. After this season, the Governors will leave the OVC, their home since 1962, to join the ASUN Conference.[1] The season will also be the Governors' last at the Dunn Center, with the new F&M Bank Arena in downtown Clarksville set to open for the 2022–23 season.[2]

Previous season

The Governors finished the 2020–21 season 14–13, 10–10 in OVC play to finish in a tie for fifth place. In the OVC Tournament, they lost to Eastern Kentucky in the first round.[3]

On March 28, 2021, it was announced that head coach Matt Figger had resigned in order to take the head coaching position at Texas–Rio Grande Valley.[4] On April 2, the school announced that Duke assistant coach Nate James had been named the team's new head coach.[5]
