NORFOLK, Va. -- Old Dominion used a 12-0 run as the springboard to an 83-53 victory over Mount Olive College in a men's exhibition basketball game Wednesday evening.

Old Dominion built the lead up to seven in the first 90 seconds after intermission. The Trojans came back with six unanswered points to close the gap to 33-32 with 18:04 left to play.
