Old Dominion was picked 5th out of the 14 teams in Conference USA. Kalu Ezikpe was selected for preseason All-Conference honors.
ODU is currently 3 - 5 on the season.

Roster: https://odusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster
Stats: https://odusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats/2021-22
The Monarchs have two players averaging double figures. 6’8” Kalu Ezipke (11.4 ppg & 6.9 reb) and 6’3” C.J. Keyser (12.9 ppg) lead the Monarchs. The other starters are 6’0” Jaylin Hunter (9.0 ppg), 6’5” Charles Smith IV (7.8 ppg) and 6’7” Mekhi Long (7.9 ppg & 5.9 reb). Austin Trice, A.J. Oliver II, and Brady O’Connell are the main reserves averaging double digit minutes off the bench.
ODU averages 61.9 points per game while giving up 65.1. ODU shoots 41.3% from the field and 28.7% from 3. Opponents shoot 43.7% from the field and 38.7% from 3. The Monarchs out rebound their opponents by 1.8 boards per game.
The game is on MASN and ESPN+.
My prediction: ODU struggles to score. They don’t have a go to stud to get them points. If we play D like we are capable of this should be a double digit win. Rest reinvigorates the Patriots and our starters respond in kind. GMU 75 - Ol Dirty U 64.
We don’t drink, we don’t smoke, Norfolk!
