Gordon’s LIU debut was an impressionable one last week. The senior, who landed on the Sharks’ roster after spending one season at Iona and a year at UAB, averaged 20.0 points on 56.7 percent shooting from the field (17-of-30) to lead his team to a split record during that stretch. Gordon was up for the challenge in LIU’s season debut, a road game at Notre Dame on Monday. Netting 11 points, he pulled down seven boards, snagged four steals and dished out seven assists in the defeat. Three days later, the Chicago product had a huge outing at IU Indy. Scoring 17 of his game-high 29 points in the second half, he put the Sharks in front for good with a layup at the 2:24 mark to seal the 94-90 victory. The effort marked Gordon’s third-best scoring game as a Division I player.
