NORFOLK, VA (WTKR)- It March Madness time as conference tournaments heat up. Old Dominion is hoping to go on a run that keeps its season alive.

This week on the Old Dominion Full Court Press, we examine the Monarchs' preparation for the Conference USA Tournament. ODU finished the regular season 13-18, 8-10 in the league and enters the event as the fifth seed in the East. The squad wrapped up 7-2 at home in conference games and won three of its final four contests of the regular season. The Monarchs capped off the campaign by upsetting Eastern Division champion Middle Tennessee, 68-64.
