DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Javon Bennett and Zed Key each scored 15 points as Dayton erased a 13-point deficit in the second and beat No. 6 Marquette 71-63 on Saturday night.

Down by double-digits at the half, Bennett tied the game with a layup and Key scored from the paint to give Dayton its first lead, 55-53, with 7:02 left.

The Flyers outscored Marquette by 18 in the second half, shooting 55.6%. A 5-0 run in the last 1:15 sealed it for Dayton (9-2).

Nate Santos had 12 points and 13 rebounds for the Flyers.

Chase Ross paced Marquette with 19 points and Kam Jones had 18 as the Golden Eagles (9-2) lost for the second time in three games.

The Flyers outrebounded Marquette 38-31 and capitalized on 21 second-chance points, compared with Marquette’s 10.

Takeaways
