Both teams have gone cold as of late. Owls have made just one of their last eight FGs. Meanwhile the Monarchs haven't scored in over two and a half minutes.

Owls have been using the 2-3 zone for the majority of the half. It's forcing the Monarchs to take contested shots, but also allowing the visitors to get second chance points with offensive boards.

Good news: Owls have converted 4 of their last 4 FGs.
Bad news: ODU keeps getting offense rebounds, and converting second chance points.
Owls are the Miami area code away from one of the biggest conference wins in modern program history.
ADGER WITH A CORNER THREE!

This was an 8.5 point game for the Owls at tip-off on a neutral court, they got 3 for being the home team and were still 5.5 point dogs…
ANOTHER statement contest given the fact that we have lost two of our best players for the year.
All May folks, he's the real deal…hope we can keep him. Keep this kind of stuff up and people will come calling just after one year…consider how many upsets we already have…not just piddle upsets, 20+ point upsets. Now tonight 15.5 points…
Just sayin'.

This team and this coach are incredible.
To be able to pull off this win with the injuries is amazing.
.@CoachDustyMay: Wow, (Xavian Stapleton) was great. Even when ODU made their runs, him and Adger had a calmness to them.. Those guys stayed confident and made plays. pic.twitter.com/A5GIBQOJxo
