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.

Marquette: Jones hit a 3-pointer to put Marquette up by 13 at the start of the second half. But the Golden Eagles missed shots and couldn't hold the lead as the Flyers surged. The Golden Eagles shot just 35.7% in the second half.
Dayton: After going 2 for 13 from the field in the first 10 minutes with three turnovers, the Flyers didn't look particularly good throughout the first half. But, they began clicking in the second half and took advantage of Marquette mistakes.
A layup by Marquette's David Joplin cut the Dayton lead to 66-63 with 1:41, but Marquette couldn't score again as the Flyers wrapped it up.
Dayton scored 46 points from in the paint, with Marquette getting only 26.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s opposition leader urged the Constitutional Court to rule swiftly on a bid to remove President Yoon Suk Yeol from office, the day after parliament voted to impeach him over a short-lived attempt to impose martial law.
Yoon's powers will be suspended until the court rules on the case, either removing Yoon from office or restoring his powers. The court has up to 180 to decide, and if he’s dismissed, a national election to choose his successor must be held within 60 days.
Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the opposition Democratic Party, told reporters Sunday that a swift ruling is the only way to minimize the national chaos triggered by Yoon’s martial law decree.
