We square off against yet another old CAA foe in the Ole Dirty U Monarchs. We don’t drink, we don’t smoke, Norfolk!
Ken Pom: Gives us a 44% chance of winning. Predicted score ODU 64 - GMU 62.
GMU - 123

Roster: https://odusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster?path=mbb
Stats: https://odusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats/2022-23
ODU is led by 6’4” Chaunce Jenkins (12.8 ppg), 6’7” Ben Stanley (11.7 ppg), 6’5” Tyreek Scott-Grayson (11.4 ppg), and 6’7” Mekhi Long (9.8 ppg & 7.5 reb). 6’7” Dericko Williams (6.4 ppg) and 5’11” Imo Essian (6.1 ppg) round out the starting 5. 6’10” Faizon Fields (3.9 ppg) and 6’5” Charles Smith IV (3.1 ppg) average double figure minutes off the bench.
ODU averages 67.6 points per game while giving up 64.0. The Monarchs are shooting 43.3% from the floor and 32.7% from 3. Opponents are shooting 41.4% from the field and 30.1% from 3. The Monarchs shoot 61.9% from the free throw line. They are out rebounded by their opponents by 5.1 boards per game. They average 10.6 turnovers per game.
The game is on ESPN+.
My prediction: I still have little to no confidence in our ability to win on the road given our turnover woes against Tulane. Our free throw sh&t show continues as well. ODU is undefeated at home. So, another loss coming despite it being to an inferior team from an inferior conference. I have to suffer the humiliation of hearing from my best friend from high school for the 2nd year in a row. Prove me wrong damnit!!!!!! ODU 68 - GMU 63.
