🔼 Super Sean. Ever since he stepped on campus, Sean Durugordon has been a force for the ODU men’s hoops squad.

Now that league play is here, the grad transfer has taken it to a whole new level.

A native of Harlem, New York, Durugordon had a pair of 20 point games and led ODU in scoring in both wins.

He scored 20 points and pulled down seven rebounds in the win over Louisiana, also going 8-for-8 from the foul line. Durugordon followed the performance up with 27 points, a career-high 18 rebounds and two blocks against South Alabama. Eight of his 18 rebounds were offensive boards. He currently ranks 11th in the country with 3.76 offensive rebounds per game.

🔼 Howdy, Partners. The second half of this year’s MAC-SBC Challenge has been on the docket for a while, but now, we’ve got our dance partners.

Both games are slated for Saturday, Feb. 8th.

🔼 The Friendly Confines. ODU Fans, it’s going to be a busy laundry week, my friends!

We’ve got 4️⃣ straight days of home action this week in Norfolk, starting TONIGHT when the women’s hoops squad hosts App State at 6:30.

It continues tomorrow when the men’s team welcomes the Mountaineers to Chartway at 7, followed by a tennis tripleheader to open the 2025 seasons on Friday, beginning at 12 pm.
