Hall of Fame
This team had a magical season in 2004-05, going 23-8 overall, 15-1 in conference play and winning the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament with a thrilling double overtime victory against Southeast Missouri. The Colonels were awarded a No. 12 seed in the NCAA Tournament and played No. 5 seed Arizona State in Fresno, California, losing to the Sun Devils 87-65. There were many elements leading to this championship season which actually started the year before when EKU lost in the OVC championship game to Austin Peay. The returning players were dedicated to coming back strong and making it to the NCAA tourney. The team was led by EKU Hall of Fame head coach Larry Joe Inman and featured four players that received all-conference recognition. The consistent senior leadership of Miranda Eckerle and Pam Garrett, and the inspired play of Ashley Cazee and Tamara Arnold took this team to the top and helped them realize the ultimate goal of making it to the NCAA Tournament.
