Minium: Return of Wendy Larry, Cancer Walk and Victory for Nikki McCray Made Hoops for the Cure a Very Special Night

There were three very emotional moments during and after Old Dominion’s impressive, 70-65, women’s basketball victory over Middle Tennessee/ I’m not sure where to begin, so I’ll start with the surprise of the evening.

Early in the first quarter, the crowd of 2,400 got a pleasant surprise when former coach Wendy Larry walked onto the court. Wendy, and I call her Wendy because she and I attended ODU together and I covered enough of her as a player and coach to be on a first-name basis, hadn’t been to a game at the Ted Constant Center since she resigned after a testy contract standoff in 2011.
