It has been a pivotal week for Old Dominion men’s basketball 19-11 (11-7 Sun Belt) as they returned home for their final two regular-season matchups. On Wednesday, the Monarchs upset the No. 1 seeded Southern Miss Golden Eagles 69-64. ODU then set their sights on the newly appointed No. 1 seed, Marshall, and tallied 43 second-half points to strike another upset against the Herd 71-67.
