The Eastern Kentucky University men’s basketball team is in the Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam Tournament. EKU’S opening game comes against a top 20 opponent.
Eastern plays in the last of four games Friday, going up against number 12 Kansas State. The Wildcats, at 2 and 0, are allowing only 48 points per game. The Colonels scored 107 points earlier this week in an easy win over Midway University.
This will be the fourth meeting of EKU and Kansas State, with Eastern holding a 2-1 edge, winning in 1945 and 1948. The four-day tournament in the Virgin Islands wraps up on Monday.
Tip-off for the Friday Eastern-Kansas State game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
