Old Dominion at NC Wilmington

The Seahawks are improving off a seven-win season a year ago, but this team still has a long way to go to be a player again in the Colonial Conference. The Monarchs have played a very aggressive schedule, so coming in here at 12-5 is impressive with stops at Missouri, Mississippi State, Richmond, Dayton and Georgetown where they defeated the Hoyas. ODU has done it on defense as they have held opponents to just 56.5 points per game this season and have gone UNDER in eight of their 12 games. But, those stats are clouded by their home games in which they have played much better defense. On the road they have allowed 62.5 points per game and gone OVER three of seven games. NC Wilmington has trouble defending the good teams, and the result has been 7-1 to the OVER against the last eight winning teams they faced. The Monarchs’ last four have all been conference battles, with three producing OVERS.
