Syracuse Basketball: Don’t underestimate talented Old Dominion squad

On Saturday, the SU hoops outfit better come ready to play.

Old Dominion (7-3), a talented group out of Conference USA, is traveling to the Hill for an afternoon tilt, and I guarantee that the Monarchs won’t feel fazed by the boisterous Carrier Dome crowd.

Just to give you a bit of context, in the 2017-18 campaign, ODU wrapped things up at an impressive 25-7, and that included a 15-3 mark in league competition. The Monarchs are extremely well-coached, led by boss Jeff Jones.

Jones, whose previous head-coaching gigs came at Virginia and American, has amassed more than 450 victories in his collegiate career.
