Can I ask please? Why the hell is Petey Sessoms name not hanging from the rafters?

He didn't graduate. Have to graduate to have a banner.

On the upside, Dickens had a much better game yesterday than is typical for him. Let's hope this is a trend that only gets better over time. If so it will be a big help to the team going forward in righting the ship. Improvement from Kalu would also be big.

As it stands right now, if we don't right this ship, we are looking at something around a 10-17 season.

We play 31 games at minimum... but I hear ya. I just want the guys to show improvement. Kind of ironic that we finally get a nice OOC schedule and it’s the worst and least experienced team we’ve had in a long time. . Guess that’s how it goes.

It’s not ironic.......that’s kind of how it works lol.

When you play tougher teams there’s a higher chance you lose more games.

A lot of Jones’s inflated win totals have been thanks to a ice cream soft ooc schedule and a pretty mediocre to bad CUSA.

I can count the number of truly top top tier victories jones has had on one hand and no beating Vcu doesn’t count.

Definitely not enough big victories. But the chances are few and far between. Let’s not act like ACC and Big 10 schools are dying to play ODU. And it’s just gonna get worse now that some of these conferences are playing 20 game conf schedules.

WRONG. From the ODU sports...

"He graduated with a degree in recreation and leisure studies and is playing in Israel." (at the time it was written he was in Israel)

SO I ASK AGAIN:

WHY THE HELL IS PETEY SESSOMS JERSEY NOT HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS???

Total Travesty. Of course it took Monarx to get them rolling over there on Odell Hodge, years after he was a Monarch. They finally did.

Petey Sessoms , come on ODU!!

I am with you Mac. He is one of the top 5 all time Monarchs! One of the best we have had and may be the best clutch performer we ever had.

Well I'll be. I sure thought he did not grad. Maybe I'm thinking of the big who transfered in under Young. Had a couple good years but a real head case. Played in NBA, then got into all kinds of legal trouyble. Paul...?

Chris Gatling.

Chris Gatlin for sure. Got arrested not long ago for living in a house in Arizona that wasn’t his! A house squatter. What a nice man!

He was a really good player though. Won NBA 6th man of the year award once. Played a really long time for a lot of different teams. But most certainly had some issues.

Not Petey Sessoms like at all!!

He is (was) a very nice man to talk too, but obviously has some issues. When an NBA All-Star is reduced to house-squatting, something is wired incorrectly.

100% agree - Sessoms deserves a banner. He is a legend in ODU basketball history. He owns our greatest victory in the dance vs Villanova!

Sessoms was truly one of ODU's greats. His performance against Kerry Kittles in the NCAA against Villanova was one for the ages. He should definitely have a banner!
