CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Eastern Kentucky University's men's basketball team, which secured at least a share of the 2023-24 Atlantic Sun Conference championship, will conclude the regular season with a pair of road games starting Wednesday at Austin Peay State University.
 
Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET live on ESPN+.  The live radio broadcast of the game is available in the Richmond area on WCYO 100.7 FM, or worldwide on EKUSports.com.
