“The most exciting 40 minutes in sports” is returning quite a bit of excitement in 2023-24. Or all of it, for that matter.
Eastern Kentucky basketball closed out its 2022-23 campaign with a 23-14 overall record (12-6 in the ASUN), making it to the semifinals of the conference tournament and the finals of the College Basketball Invitational. It was an impressive run coming off a 13-18 record in 2021-22, one that saw four total postseason wins and closed out with a 21-point comeback to nearly pull off the CBI title upset.
The Colonels finished with their third-most wins ever, tied for the most postseason wins ever, most wins in the state of Kentucky overall and led the conference in attendance.
