=== Old Dominion edges Notre Dame ===

New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Keyon Carter made two crucial free throws
with 9.6 seconds left in regulation, proving to be the difference as 11th-
seeded Old Dominion knocked off sixth-seeded Notre Dame, 51-50, in the first
round of the NCAA Tournament.

Carter finished with 11 points, while Frank Hassell carried the load with 15
points and nine rebounds for the Monarchs (27-8), who sat for nine days after
capturing the Colonial Athletic Association crown on March 8th.

Old Dominion, which captured its first tourney win since 1995, will move on in
the South Region and face either Baylor or Sam Houston State on Saturday.

Ben Hansbrough posted 17 points and Carleton Scott ended with 14 points and 10
rebounds for the Fighting Irish (23-12), who shot 31.3 percent in the second
half after leading by six at the break.

Following Carter's two free throws down the stretch, Scott missed a contested
three-pointer from the left wing. After Hansbrough missed the putback, Luke
Harangody's make at the buzzer was too little, too late.
