Minium: Xavier Green's Stellar Play Gives ODU Basketball More Momentum as Monarchs Head Into Stretch Run

By Harry Minium

It was great not only to see Xavier Green play a simply marvelous game for the Old Dominion University men's basketball team this past weekend, but also pretty cool to see that ingratiating, charming smile back on Xavier's face.

I watched Saturday night's game at UAB on TV and even though the cameras were in the nosebleed seats, you could see the joy he was feeling when the Monarchs celebrated a 65-58 victory.

A senior from Williamsburg, Green is the most experienced player on ODU's roster and can, when he's on, be the team's best player on both offense and defense.
