EIU Men's Basketball Team Clinches OVC Tourney Berth

Monday, 19 February 2018

Imagine a team making a postseason college basketball tournament despite missing all four of its point guards for most of the season.

Well, no need to imagine actually, the Eastern Illinois men made it a reality. They're headed to the Ohio Valley Conference tournament.

The Panthers needed one more win against Tennessee-Martin over the weekend, and they get the job done on the road with a 64-57 victory.

With two games left in the regular season, EIU holds the seventh spot ahead of Southern Illinois Edwardsville, and it'll play itself out as these two teams meet Saturday.
