There is a temptation to point at manpower shortages that Old Dominion faced Saturday afternoon when trying to explain the Monarchs’ 68-64 loss to Georgia State, but Jeff Jones looked more at the game’s site.
The ODU head coach sees two teams on his sideline: one that has won 27 straight times at home, and another that’s lost seven in a row away from the Ted.
Trey Freeman and Zoran Talley scored 16 points each, but there was enough Jekyll & Hyde in Saturday’s game at the GSU Sports Arena to sink the Monarchs. They sailed to a 19-11 lead only to suffer a surprising lapse against 3-pointers and an equally frustrating inability to make them.
