The UAC just landed a major win: starting in 2027, their men’s and women’s basketball tournaments will roar into action at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen, Texas — a seven-thousand-plus seat powerhouse that pumps $13M into the local economy annually. With Eastern Kentucky’s July entry expanding the conference’s footprint, this move signals big things for hoops fans. Local leaders are thrilled — the mayor called it years of community investment paying off, while Visit Allen’s Brandy O’Keefe praised the arena’s championship pedigree. The 2027 tournament runs March 10–14, featuring teams like Abilene Christian, EKU, Tarleton State, and more. Brackets and broadcast details TBD — but get ready for some serious hoops in Allen.

Eastern Kentucky basketball just got a global spark with the signing of Omer Hamama, a 6’2” guard bringing elite experience from Israel and a standout freshman year at Kent State. He lit up EKU’s last visit with 8 points in 13 minutes and flashed elite passing with 10 assists in one game. Coach Hamilton is thrilled—this isn’t just another recruit, it’s a seasoned pro ready to elevate the program.
