Old Dominion Monarchs vs Notre Dame Irish was the first game to finish in the tourney this year, and it ended with the Monarchs pulling off the upset 51-50. Down 51-48 with 9 seconds left the Irish's Carleton Scott 3-point try went in and out and Luke Harangody gathered the rebound to make it a one point lead as time expired.
Harangody who has become very ineffective since a bruised knee earlier this season was made into a non-factor by ODU as it took him until late in the game to hit his first shot. He finished his Notre Dame career with 4 points (2-9 shooting) and 7 rebounds.
Frank Hassell led the Monarchs with 15 points and 9 rebounds. Keyon Carter added 11 points and 6 rebounds off the bench, and hit two clutch free throws to make it a 3 point game with 9 seconds left.
As an ODU alumni I'm happy for the Monarchs!! (Although I did not pick them to win this game)
