On Saturday night, ODU men’s basketball hosted the University of Louisiana Monroe Warhawks. ODU’s squad was riding the momentum of a 91-66 win over Marshall on Thursday, tallying the most points against a team since 2018, when they tallied a 100-62 win against UTSA. Unfortunately, the Monarchs were not able to overpower the Warhawks and fell 80-73.
The first half of play for the Monarchs was rough as they were outrebounded 28-9, giving way to an 11-point deficit at halftime. In addition to the large rebound deficit, the team shot under 30% from both the field and behind the arch.
