Sounds like the SEMO coach has hit the ground running. I was disappointed that McHale waited until Sunday to meet with the team. Guess it was more important to head to Keeneland than to met with the players. I'm going to chalk it up to this being his first HC job. Since he was never a player, he do...

Many of us on this board, and folks on others have been critical of the state of OVC men's basketball. It certainly has room to improve, but it occurred to me last night while reading this article ... http://www.rockytoptalk.com/2015/3/27/8302329/tennessee-basketball-coaching-candidates In our desir...

I can't believe that the OVC had co-players of the week this week. Walden's performance against a top-25 team far outweighs a great game against a fellow mid major if you ask me. CO-PLAYER Corey Walden, G • Sr., 6-2, 189 • Daytona Beach, Fla. • Eastern Kentucky Walden helped Eastern Kentucky to a 72...

Some of the Miami fans were not impressed with EKU. Here’s one comment from their fan forum; “EKU isn't coming anywhere near the tournament, unless they buy tickets.” http://miami.scout.com/forums/2929-hurricane-basketball/13484212--official-eastern-kentucky-vs-18-miami-game-thread?s=13&page=2 I th...

Eastern has had six different leading scorers in each of its last six games. It would be great if that trend continues with Hood, McGlone, Muff or one of the freshman being the leading scorer Saturday. Who of these 5 players has the best shot at having a break-out game? That's a fun discussion to h...

Lots of buzz on twitter about Dean Hood getting head job at Youngstown State.

And this ...

EKU's Dean Hood is indeed picking up some steam for YSU. I'm told that if he doesn't get YSU job, he could be headed to Vanderbilt as DC

This Friday!! This is an NCAA Division II team. Urbana was picked to finish 12th (last) in the Mountain East Conference. I feel a little sorry for them. They’ll be walking into a windmill here at EKU. I would guess we end up with over 100 points. What are you guys most interested in learning about ...

In answer to two questions about the closed scrimmage- because it was closed I don’t think anyone has any information. I have a lot of questions about the game tonight; – Jackson was in street clothes – is this because he is injured or doing a red-shirt year? - Stenzel did not show up – is he still...

In my opinion, student attendance has been pretty good the last two years. It probably doesn't compare to the way things were back in the 70s, but I think it is better now than when I was a student in the late 90s, but the team is better too. I think 1,000 students at a basketball game now is a good...

Totally different topic but wonder what eku's average basketball home attendance was last year. I have a concern about EKU's ability to get students to attend athletic events. Maybe more so with the old regime, but EKU students seem to be of "go home on weekend" variety and not committed to what I ...
