They should do this more often.
In the first meeting in 15 years between the city’s Division I basketball programs, Old Dominion beat Norfolk State, 68-57, in front of a sell-out crowd at the Constant Center.
Led by Aaron Bacote (20 points) and Trey Freeman (19) ODU (7-6) held NSU (5-9) to just two points in the final 4:54 to win its 31st straight at home.
Jeff Short and Jordan Butler had 14 points each for the Spartans.
Norfolk State was within four nearing four minutes to play, but ODU scored six straight while the Spartans went three minutes without a point.
