The 2024–25 Eastern Kentucky Colonels men's basketball team represents Eastern Kentucky University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Colonels are led by seventh-year head coach A. W. Hamilton as members of the Atlantic Sun Conference. The Colonels will play their four non-conference home games at the Seabury Center on the campus of Berea College in Berea, Kentucky, as their home arena, Baptist Health Arena in Richmond, Kentucky, is undergoing renovations, with the renovations expected to be completed in time for conference play.[1]

Previous season

[edit]

The Colonels finished the 2023–24 season 17–14, 12–4 in ASUN play to finish as ASUN regular season champions.[2] They were upset by #10 seed Jacksonville in the quarterfinals of the ASUN tournament.[3] Due to new rule changes that no longer give automatic bids to conference champions who failed to win their conference championship,[4] the Colonels did not qualify for the NIT, ending their season.[5]
