MONARCHS CAPITALIZE ON BOTH ENDS

LOOKING AHEAD
The 44-point margin represented a comprehensive performance for the Monarchs.
For Regent, shooting 27.3 percent from the field and 18.5 percent from deep left little path to staying competitive.
Old Dominion now shifts focus toward upcoming schedule commitments, including an approaching matchup against Coastal Carolina.
Questions remain over how much of the lopsided showing came down to scheme versus shooting variance.
Was Regent's 27.3 percent shooting display primarily due to tough Monarch defense or missed open shots?
