Men's basketball senior forward Josh Taylor became the 29th Colonel to reach 1,000 career points when he drained his fifth trifecta of the night with 2:11 remaining against Winthrop on Feb. 20. Taylor led EKU with 20 points and six rebounds in the 77-57 victory.

The native of Pittsburgh, Pa.,  is second on the team in scoring (13.7 ppg) and third in the OVC in three-pointers made per game (2.4) through Feb. 23. Taylor needs to step on the floor for one more game to equal the program record for number of games played in an EKU career (124).
