The second-longest winning streak in college basketball was snapped Thursday night in Richmond. Eastern Kentucky upset Belmont 81-67, ending the Bruins’ 30-game OVC win streak and giving the Colonels a school record 14th conference victory of the season.
Wendell Green’s 22 points led all scorers, Louisville native Curt Lewis added 15 and former Lexington Christian Academy standout Tre King finished with 14 points and 7 rebounds for the Colonels. EKU is now one of only a handful of schools in America with 20 wins this season and they’ve done it with a roster that’s made up mostly of Kentucky kids.
