EKU Basketball team starts their regular season tonight against Coppin State. Tip-off is at 7:00 P.M. and we will be updating during the game as well as a photo gallery following.
Eastern has a new head coach in former Minnesota assistant Dan McHale, a new style of play, several new players … even new Under Armour uniforms.
McHale was hired in April, inheriting a program that won 20-plus games each of the last three years. However, many key components of that run are now gone. Corey Walden, Eric Stutz, Timmy Knipp and company graduated, taking with them 72 percent of last year’s scoring and 67 percent of last year’s rebounding.
Despite his team’s relative lack of experience, McHale believes the new-look Colonels have a chance to be deep, up-tempo and fun to watch.
Should make for a fun and eventful season. We will be here to keep you updated.
