MIAMI, Fla. – Dajour Dickens putback with 1.1 seconds left lifted Old Dominion to a 75-74 win over FIU Saturday night in Miami.
With the Monarchs trailing by one, Ahmad Caver drove in the lane and his runner rimmed out but Dickens was there for the putback with 1.1 seconds left. A last second heave by FIU was way off and the Monarchs escaped with the one-point win.
The final two minutes saw back and forth action with ODU taking a 71-70 lead on a jumper by Xavier Green, but Brian Beard followed with a pair of free throws to give the Panthers a 72-71 lead.
