"A lot of time and effort has been put into compiling this year's schedule," said Jones. "I strongly believe we have succeeded in being fiscally responsible and having a schedule that is both extremely competitive, as well as attractive to our fans."
The Monarchs will host Virginia Wesleyan (Nov. 10), Manhattan (Nov. 15), Longwood (Nov. 26), VCU (Dec. 11) and College of Charleston (Dec. 22) in non-conference play. VCU has made the NCAA Tournament in nine of the last 10 seasons. Old Dominion will travel to James Madison (Nov. 13), East Carolina (Nov. 30), George Mason (Dec. 4), William & Mary (Dec. 7) and Richmond (Dec. 19).
ODU will also be competing in the third annual Myrtle Beach Invitational, which will be played November 18, 19 and 21 at the HTC Center on the campus of Coastal Carolina University in Conway, S.C. Joining the Monarchs in the Myrtle Beach Invitational are: Oklahoma, Davidson, East Carolina, Indiana State, New Mexico State, Penn and Utah State. Old Dominion will first take on Indiana State.

The Monarchs will play six Conference USA teams twice this regular season: Charlotte, Marshall, Western Kentucky, Florida Atlantic, FIU and Middle Tennessee. The Hilltoppers enter this year with four straight 20-win seasons and appearances in the last three Conference USA Tournament title games played.
In league play, ODU will host UTSA (Jan. 13), UTEP (Jan. 15), Charlotte (Jan. 29), Marshall (Feb. 3), WKU (Feb. 5), UAB (Feb. 13), FAU (Feb. 24), FIU (Feb. 26) and Middle Tennessee (March 5).
Old Dominion will travel to Florida International (Dec. 30), Florida Atlantic (Jan. 1) Charlotte (Jan. 8), Rice (Jan. 20), reigning C-USA champion North Texas (Jan. 22), Middle Tennessee (Feb. 10), Marshall (Feb. 17), Western Kentucky (Feb. 19), as well as LA Tech (March 2).
"Our non-conference schedule is exciting with some old rivals and a highlight of the conference schedule is playing Marshall, Western Kentucky and UAB all at home in the same year," concluded Jones.
The Monarchs will have a home exhibition game against on Saturday, November 6.
Oklahoma, Utah State, VCU and North Texas all made last season's NCAA Tournament. Davidson, Richmond, Western Kentucky and Louisiana Tech participated in the NIT, while Longwood made the CBI. 17 opponents on the upcoming ODU schedule had winning seasons last year.
