'Eastern Kentucky Colonels Basketball Tickets'

'In 1909, Eastern Kentucky got its basketball program off the ground with coach Clyde H. Wilson at the helm. The Colonels are located in Richmond, Ky. Since the program got its start in 1909, there have been 20 coaches with the current coach being A.W. Hamilton, who took over in 2018. This coach and his assistant coaching staff are only in their second season with the team, and it will be exciting to see how the team improves under Hamilton’s leadership. The Colonels have produced one Ohio Valley Player of the year; in 1979, James Turk Tillman received the honor. In the 2019-2020 season, the Colonels team is making history. It will be the first NCAA Division I team in Kentucky to play every other NCAA Division I team in Kentucky in one season. You can get the chance to see basketball history in the making when you see one of Eastern Kentucky's games. Grab your Eastern Kentucky Colonels basketball tickets at StubHub.'
