HARTFORD, Conn.
It’s Tuesday night, and it’s already been a long day for the Old Dominion basketball team. The players attended class in the morning, had a late-morning practice, took a charter flight to New England and had dinner at 7 at the Hartford Airport Sheraton Hotel.
Some players then headed upstairs to watch basketball games on TV. But ten headed to their rooms to collect their laptops, and returned to the banquet room where they ate dinner for a long night of studying.
Yes, the Monarchs are the toast of Hampton Roads after making the NCAA tournament for the first time in eight years.
