Ovie Soko CRUSHES the Dunk Off the Glass! Career High 29 Points

By Sam Neter on January 9, 2014

Ovie Soko continues his breakout season with Duquesne, as he dropped a career-high 29 points last night, including an insane off the glass dunk, as the Dukes extended their win streak to five, with an 87-81 Atlantic 10 Conference-opening win over Fordham at Palumbo Center.

The Senior had 20 in the first half (14 in the final 9:30 of the first half), and the performance marked his fifth straight 20-plus point outing. He finished 10/15 from the field, 8/13 at the line, and added 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block in 33 minutes.

The five-game win streak has enabled the Dukes (8-5, 1-0) to match last year’s win total (8-22), and is DU’s longest since the 2010-11 team won 11 in a row.

Soko has now scored 20 or more a team-high six times this season, and is averaging 18.9 points and 8.8 rebounds on 46.5% shooting so far.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
