Old Dominion delivers first tourney upset, knocks out Notre Dame
Posted by GameSetMatch on 18th March 2010
Carleton Scott’s 3-pointer rattled out in the closing seconds, and 11th-seeded Old Dominion delivered the first upset of the NCAA tournament when it stunned sixth-seeded Notre Dame 51-50 on Thursday in the South Regional.
The Fighting Irish rushed the ball up the court as the clock wound down, but Scott’s attempt to tie the game didn’t fall and Luke Harangody’s putback at the buzzer wasn’t enough.
Frank Hassell scored 15 to lead Old Dominion (27-8), which had not won an NCAA tournament game since beating Villanova in triple overtime in 1995 as a No. 14 seed.
Harangody was held to four points for the Irish (23-12), all in the final minute, while Ben Hansbrough scored 17.
