FRISCO, Texas
For the second day in a row, Old Dominion needed a huge comeback, and a miraculous shot in the final seconds, to advance in the Conference USA tournament. And once again, the Monarchs delivered.
Xavier Green made the game-winner with a driving one-handed shot as he was being fouled with 4 seconds left and the Monarchs eked past UAB, 61-59, at the Ford Center at The Star.
ODU advances to Saturday’s 8:30 p.m. championship game, where the Monarchs will meet either Southern Mississippi or Western Kentucky, for the C-USA championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
