Eastern Kentucky Colonels (24-9, 11-5 OVC)-The Colonels crashed the dance in large part thanks to the play of senior guard Glenn Cosey (18.8 ppg, 4.2 apg). The Juco transfer has made quite an impact on EKU in just his two seasons there, lifting the Colonels from middling OVC team to league champion. Eastern Kentucky ousted league favorites Belmont and Murray State in back-to-back games behind Cosey and junior guard Corey Walden, who went off for 29 in the OVC final.
Both are diminutive in size (6-o and 6-2 respectively), but Cosey and Walden are capable scorers who can really shoot the ball. Walden (14.1 ppg, 3 apg) has come on strong of late, averaging 23 ppg in the OVC tourney. Together, they lead one of the most efficient offensive attacks in college basketball. EKU ranks 10th in the nation in points per possession. The Colonels also rank 25th in assist-to-turnover ratio.
KEY STATS:
Points per Possession 10th (1.13)
Assist-to-Turnover Ratio 25th
Assists per Game 55th
Points per Game 29th
Field Goal Percentage 11th
