The Eastern Kentucky University men’s basketball team tries to extend its winning streak to six games Saturday night in Richmond.

The Colonels hit a home court milestone this week.

At ten and two, EKU is off to its best start to a season since 2012-2013.  Eastern’s overtime win over Jacksonville State Thursday night was its 500th all-time in McBrayer Arena. 

The Colonels lead the NCAA in turnover margin and rank second in steals per game and turnovers forced per game.  EKU will host Tennessee Tech Saturday night at seven. 

The Golden Eagles come into the contest at one and eleven.?
