NORFOLK, Va. -- Georgetown has taken a five point lead, but what stands out early is how hard Old Dominion is working on the offensive end.

Against a bigger and probably faster team, the Monarchs are making the most of the shot clock, swinging the ball around the perimeter and often waiting till there are 12 seconds or fewer to shoot. Two possessions ago, Georgetown played superb defense for 33 seconds, forcing a three-point prayer, but ODU hustled for the rebound and the putback. The Hoyas are bigger, but the Monarchs continue to be as good or better on the glass.

Freshman Chris Wright knocked down his first shot, a trey, but then missed a bunny in transition.

Score is now 18-15 after a Frank Hassell threw down an alley-oop slam.
