Even though ODU is officially out of the NCAA Tournament after their 76-68 loss to No. 3 seed Baylor, fans still have pride for their Monarchs.


The first half proved to be disappointing for the Monarchs.  The Monarchs trailed the Bears the entire time; at one point as much as 14 points.  However, students never gave up hope that their team will upset Baylor and advance to the Sweet Sixteen. 

In true Monarch fashion, the team made an impressive comeback during the second half.  Kent Bazemore threw down a dunk at the start of the second half that closed the gap between Baylor and ODU.  Baylor's lead cut from eight, to six, to three.  It was anybody's game.

At one point, the Monarchs took the lead over the Bears.

However, the Bears came back and reclaimed the lead.  There was not enough time for the Monarchs to come back.  By the time the buzzer sounded, ODU trailed Baylor by 8 points...making the final score 76-68.  Even though a lot of hearts were broken, there is still a sense of pride amongst ODU fans.  At least we made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament...how often does that happen?

And hey, at least Kansas lost :)
