Auburn Basketball Looks to Continue Hot Start Against Eastern Kentucky

Auburn basketball has gotten out to their first 2-0 start since the 2011-12 season, and look to make it 3-0 as they take on Eastern Kentucky Thursday night at Auburn Arena.

On the other side of things, Eastern Kentucky is 1-1 after an overtime loss to UNC-Wilmington on Monday.

Last season the Colonels were 15-16 overall and just 6-10 in OVC play.

They lost their top two scorers from a year ago – both of whom averaged 17 points per game – but sophomore forward Nick Mayo is off to a good start averaging 22 points through two games as well as 7.
