On a Saturday afternoon ESPN broadcast match up, The Monarchs were able to beat the Rams of VCU by a score of 70-59. Frank Hassell scored 18 points with 11 rebounds to record his 10th double double of the season. Ben Finney also had a double double with 15 points and 11 boards. Kent Bazemore also had 13 points in the win.
With great defense the Monarchs were able to hold the Rams to under 38 percent shooting. The Monarchs outscored the Rams in the paint and also out rebounded them. ODU seemed to be firing on all cylinders with this victory. This win gives Blaine Taylor his sixth 20 win season and moves the Monarchs to 20-6 overall and 11-4 in the CAA. ODU is currently third in the CAA standings with only 4 games left. Georgia State visits Norfolk on Tuesday to face the Monarchs. Should be an easy victory. This win over VCU is extremely significant when it comes to the resume for the NCAA tourney, especially if the Monarchs do not win the CAA tournament.
