"Calls are coming in to the office everyday, asking when tickets are going on sale," confided East Kentucky Coach Kevin Keathley. "Well, the time is here. There's not a better time to reserve your seat or seats for the East Kentucky Miners' second season. I promised the fans last season they would see an exciting brand of basketball and this season will be no different."
Fans who visited the East Kentucky Expo Center for a Miners game during the 2007-08 season were treated to an exciting brand of basketball second to none in the Bluegrass State. The Miners led the CBA in scoring with a 111 points per game scoring average.
The Continental Basketball Association (CBA) recently announced the schedule for its 63rd season. The CBA's 63rd season is scheduled to tip off on Friday, Dec. 12. Four games are scheduled for the season's opening weekend.
The Miners will face CBA foes Albany, Lawton-Fort Sill, Minot and Pittsburgh during the upcoming season in the five-team league. The 14-week CBA season is scheduled to conclude Sunday, March 15. The CBA Playoffs are slated to start Wednesday, March 18.
East Kentucky will host Minot in its home opener Sunday, Dec. 14. The Miners will travel to rival Pittsburgh for a season opener Friday, Dec. 12.
Much excitement surrounds the 2008-09 version of the East Kentucky Miners. East Kentucky recently signed University of Kentucky legend Wayne Turner. One of the top UK players of all-time, Turner holds the NCAA record for most games played. The former Wildcat played in the NBA for the Boston Celtics - the league's most storied franchise.
"With the addition of Wayne Turner, this will be an exciting year," said Keathley. "Also, getting your tickets now will save you money as our front office has Early Bird specials running through October 31. I want to see the Expo Center full when we come out from underneath that tunnel on December 14.
East Kentucky veterans Jason McLeish and Mike Crain and former NBA D-League player Jermaine Blackburn have also signed with the Miners.
East Kentucky ended the 2007-08 regular-season 26-22. The Miners reached the playoffs in their debut season.
