Minium: Jeff Jones says ODU needs fan support this week

The headline in Sunday's Bowling Green (Ky.) Daily News said it all after Western Kentucky's stunning 83-76 upset of Big Ten Power Wisconsin late Saturday.

"Hilltoppers Feed off frenzied crowd, beat No. 15 Wisconsin."

ODU basketball coach Jeff Jones hopes to see some similar headlines in this week's Virginian-Pilot.

The Monarchs have already left fans with some memorable victories. There was a 62-52 triumph over archrival VCU at the Ted, and then came a 68-62 upset of No. 25 Syracuse in the Carrier Dome.

ODU has swept all in-state foes on its schedule, downing Richmond, James Madison and William and Mary, in addition to VCU.
