Two games of note from last night:

1) In a game of wanna-be ranked teams, junior Tonya Young led Vermont to a 74-65 victory over Dayton. Young scored a career-high 25 points, including 5-5 on three-pointers. Writes Graham:

Young pulling a Jimmy Chitwood in a homecoming game is a good story, especially considering she missed the first three games of the season with a back injury and only found her way back into the starting lineup in the team's last game before Tuesday. But for a team trying to put together an NCAA tournament at-large profile on the strength of road wins against Boston College, NC State, Providence and now this victory against Dayton, it's more than just a good moment.

2) Duquesne (10-4) upset #18 Pittsburgh (10-2), 72-63. The Panthers had won the previous four meetings and also had a 13-game home winning streak snapped.

"Obviously, this is a real big win for us and our program and our players," Duquesne coach Suzie McConnell-Serio said. "I saw a difference in our players after coming back from Christmas break. They came back with an extra bounce in their step and an energy."
