Frisco, Texas
I was attending a Conference USA reception Tuesday night, and was chatting with Old Dominion women’s basketball athletic trainer Megan Hammonds on the eve of the C-USA tournaments, when her phone began to buzz.
She’d just gotten the word that the ODU men had agreed to share their practice court with the women.
I put down my beer and we headed 100 yards or so to the Ford Center at The Star, the giant indoor stadium where the Dallas Cowboys work out. Conference USA puts up makeshift courts with temporary bleachers every year for its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments.
