The Eastern Kentucky University men’s basketball
team appears regularly on the ESPN family of
networks.

Each of the past two seasons, a Colonel has appeared on ESPN's SportsCenter Top-10 Plays.

During the record-setting season of 2012-13, media attention around the Colonels grew dramatically. EKU appeared in
the USA Today, the Chicago Tribune and on CBSSports.com.

That attention continued through Eastern's run to the NCAA Tournament in 2014. Stories about the Colonels appeared in the Los Angeles Times and on the front page of the USA Today sports section.

In addition, media outlets from Kentucky’s two
largest cities – Louisville and Lexington – routinely
cover Eastern Kentucky basketball.
