🙌 TOMORROW’S THE DAY!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 This Is Our Town. In a game that lived up to all the hype and pre-game chatter, the Old Dominion men’s basketball team survived a furious Norfolk State rally and held on to defeat the Spartans, 60-57, before a frenetic Chartway Arena crowd of 7,951.

The series between Norfolk’s two Division I universities seems to always deliver a close, hard-fought game with fans from both schools well represented, and that was the case once again.

Point guard LJ Thomas, who led ODU with 20 points, and guard KC Shaw, the transfer from Maryland-Eastern Shore who had 16, are both transfers who said they didn’t quite understand the fierceness of the rivalry.

“The way they were hyping this game up, I was expecting a big crowd,” Shaw said. “But I wasn’t expecting this. Nothing like this. There was definitely extra juice to this game. You could feel it around town, even in the barber shop, they were talking about the game.”

🏀 The Full Recap

🔼 Thursday Night Lights. For the second straight season Old Dominion Football hosts a Thursday night game on national TV, as the Monarchs are set to host Troy on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.

Both teams have already secured bowl bids for later this season, but the Trojans roll into town looking to stay in the race for the West Division crown, sitting just a game back of Southern Miss.

ODU is coming off its bye and prior to that a 31-6 win at ULM. Troy is also coming off its bye and lost to Arkansas State the week prior, 23-10.
