The Melee in Bowling Green

Related Topics: Conference USA

Old Dominion visited Bowling Green on Saturday to challenge Western Kentucky for the top spot of C-USA East. Though the contest wasn’t even close, the Monarchs didn’t go down without fight.

Emotions were heated throughout the game, but towards the end of the second quarter there was a minor exchange that foreshadowed what was yet to come. ODU grew continuously frustrated and the Hilltoppers went into the locker room at halftime with a 52-14 lead.

Then, the inevitable occurred a little bit after the midway point of the third quarter.

A good, old fashioned, bench-clearing brawl.
