NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — This is a phenomenal time to be a fan of Hampton Roads basketball. On Tuesday, Old Dominion and Norfolk State men’s basketball announced a home-and-home series.

Just to break down what a Home & Home series means, Old Dominion will host the Spartans at Chartway Arena Nov. 11. Next year, Norfolk State will host Old Dominion at Echols Hall Nov. 11, 2026.

This is a rivalry series that’s resuming for the first time since 2022, but has generally leaned in favor of the Monarchs since its origin in 1965-66.

In the 21 matchups since then, Old Dominion has won 15 of them, and are currently on a five game winning streak over the Spartans.
