The long-awaited rematch of the 2016 Conference USA championship game between MTSU and Old Dominion ended just like the first version - with a Blue Raider victory.
With the 64-51 win Thursday, the Raiders (21-4, 11-1) pushed their all-time record against the Monarchs (14-10, 7-5) to a perfect 8-0.
"I thought the game was about what we expected," MTSU head coach Kermit Davis said. "I thought we executed really well down the stretch. It was a good win against a quality team."
The two teams had defensive battles in their two meetings in 2016, in which MTSU won both by a combined five points.
