NORFOLK, VA (WTKR)- The Monarchs hit Hawaii looking to snap a three-game losing streak and end their non-conference schedule on a high note.
This week on the Old Dominion Full Court Press, we're getting you ready for the Diamond Head Classic in Honolulu. The silver and blue tip things off against TCU on Thursday at 5:00 PM Eastern to open the tournament. It marks their second match-up with the Horned Frogs, the first taking place during the 2004-2005 campaign. Nevada, Temple, Georgia Tech, UMass, Portland and Hawaii are the other participating teams in the event.
Jeff Jones is hoping the break helped his team improve its defense. During their three game losing streak, the Monarchs have given up at least 81 points in each contest. They're offense could also use a boost, as their 69.4 points per game rank 13th out of 14 Sun Belt squads.
