In-state showdown

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – The EKU men’s basketball team s 7-2 headed into the biggest game of the year on the schedule.

The Colonels will visit the No. 5 Kentucky Wildcats Wednesday night at Rupp Arena.  ESPN2 will have the live broadcast at 7 o’clock.

Eastern has wins over Ball State, Coppin State, Longwood and Southern Utah to name a few.

The Colonels just won their first road game at Savannah State over the weekend 74-71.

They’re hard at work in practice (as you can see in the video) this week.

Is there anything extra special about coming up I75 to battle the in-state blue-blood?
