The Old Dominion men’s basketball team took the court Saturday night against Western Kentucky University. The Monarch came into the game on back-to-back victories over Charlotte and Marshall and were tied for third place in the east division of C-USA with a 9-12(4-4) record. They were looking for that third straight victory, but the Hilltoppers were a tough conference opponent that had victories over Ole Miss and Louisville earlier this season. Almost 6000 were in attendance for the conference matchup and many sported their white shirts because the theme for the game was a ‘whiteout’.
The game started off in favor of the Monarchs as they made good passes coming down the floor and found sophomore Mekhi Long in the paint for the early bucket.
