LAST GAME FOR ODU:
Malik Curry poured in a career-high 21 points, but it was not enough as the Old Dominion men's basketball team (3-5) lost to Loyola (Chicago) by a 68-61 score on Wednesday afternoon in the final game of the 2019 Cayman Islands Classic for the Monarchs at the John Gray Gymnasium.
After trailing by as many as 16 in the first half and then by 10 with 8:20 left in the second half, the Monarchs responded with a 14-5 run to make it a one-point game, 56-55, with 2:01 remaining in regulation, however the Ramblers (4-4) stretched their lead back and ultimately claimed a seven point victory in the seventh place game.
"It is always disappointing to lose, but I thought our effort was terrific and we can work with that," said ODU head coach Jeff Jones. "Right now, it is very clear to everybody that we are going through some growing pains, but if we have that kind of attitude and stick together like the guys did today then we will get better and keep progressing towards becoming a good basketball team. That was not necessarily the case yesterday, but to our guys credit they regrouped and came out and I thought they fought and showed a lot of pride. We have to work on and address some things, but maybe, just maybe, depending on what we do with the opportunities in front of us, this could be a turning point for our basketball team."
Joe Reece went for career highs for both points (10) and rebounds (6). Xavier Green, who was named to All-Tournament Team, finished with nine points, two rebounds and two assists and one steal.
