8-8 from the line and nobody in foul trouble. Really the only negative on the stat line is the turnovers.

RE: Northeastern @ ODU 12/20 2:00PM
This was an encouraging win, but NE doesn’t look like a very good team. We have to cure the sloppy passes because it almost cost us the game. Also, I wonder if the lack of a crowd is contributing to the sloppiness. In other words, does it feel more like a scrimmage to our players. Sometimes I feel like I’m watching a pick-up game.

For those who didn't come today, a lot of those reserved seats were empty. I don't know if it was because of the opponent or the fact that it's five days til Christmas but they were empty.
That is disappointing. I checked if anyone was selling their tickets and didn’t see any. Clearly, they don’t need the money - but it would be nice if they offloaded their tix.

Nobody wants to sit inside with a mask on for 2 hours. Combine that with weather that makes it difficult to leave the house, holiday time, and bad basketball.

That is sad if there were people that had one of only 250 tickets and didn't show up and didn't give them up.

I'm not completely convinced yet. I'd like to see him put two of these games together. And tighten up the passing.

Those are weak excuses. I don't have any problem wearing a mask to see a game. But if your not going, give up the tickets.

I'm with you on that. Also has to do well against much better competition than Northeastern.

I think some people who got tickets for today didn't necessarily sit in the "reserved" seats.

Agreed - but he is clearly playing with confidence. I think his sloppy passes was just a show of disrespect to NE - and, to be honest, a lack of maturity. A more mature player would not have let up and pushed for a 20+ point win. This team has the potential to hunt if they play with more discipline.

Ezikpe would be all cusa if he can play 25 mins per game. Hes has played well our toughest competition, he needs to have those games vs our crappy opponents.

I was lucky enough to be invited by ODAF to today’s game. I gotta say they have done a lot of work to ensure fans are comfortable and the atmosphere is still enjoyable. The staff coming to your seat to take your food order is a great touch.
As for the team, Kalu sure seems to be coming into his own. He has been fun to watch. And I don’t remember an ODU team who passed so recklessly. They’re either passing it into tough angles or just lazily. This should be a fixable thing and I hope it is before conference play. Can’t win too many games giving easy fast breaks and points away with bad passes.

Glad you enjoyed a first class game experience. You have the hot hand. Keep us rolling!

We shot 52 percent, which is the reason we won. Doesn’t get much better.

Yeah, it’s general admission. You can sit wherever you want as long as you give groups you don’t know plenty of space.
