Abdi Lionde's 3 from the left wing made it 32-25, then Marsharee Neely's layup extended the lead to nine, and Neely's runner off the glass made it 11 less than a minute later. 

Mike Ringgold's putback with 27 seconds left made it 36-27. ODU failed to score on its final possession of the half, and the fans booed the officials as they walked off the court because no fouls were called despite some physical play under the basket. 

Ryan Thompson has 10 points to lead the Broncs. Jason Thompson has only four, while Mike Ringgold and Harris Mansell have five apiece. 

Frank Hassell has nine to lead the Monarchs.
