PITTSBURGH -- Another second-half lead gone -- this time against crosstown rival Pittsburgh -- and Duquesne coach Jim Ferry wondered if his young team was on the verge of an emotional collapse.It very easily could have been `Here we go again, Ferry said.Only it wasnt. Not with Mike Lewis II, Emile Blackman and Tarin Smith knocking down jumpers. Not with the Dukes holding Pitt star Michael Young in check over the final 20 minutes. Not with the Dukes finally pushing back after spending the last 15 years getting pushed around by the bigger, deeper and more talented Panthers.Lewis II scored 10 of his 15 points over the final 20 minutes, including five straight during a late game-turning surge to lift Duquesne to a 64-55 upset on Friday night. Emile Blackman led the Dukes (4-5) with 21 points and Tarin Smith added 12 for Duquesne, which beat the Panthers (6-2) for the first time since 2000 in a rivalry that dates back to 1932.We were really pumped for this game, Dukes guard Rene Castro said. We know the history of it. We know we hadnt won in a long time. We were glad to change it.Young finished with 19 points for Pitt but struggled to get much going with senior forward Jamel Artis watching from the bench in a sweatsuit while serving a one-game suspension for failing to live up to the standards of a University of Pittsburgh basketball player. Cam Johnson added 14 points and Chris Jones chipped in 11 but Young made just 1 of 11 shots in the second half and the Panthers made just 3 of 22 3-pointers and none in the second half.There was nothing about our play that was good enough to win, said Pitts first-year coach Kevin Stallings.Three days after throttling Maryland on the road in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, the Panthers looked appeared to be in control after going up by 10 late in the first half. The Dukes, however, responded by getting to within a point at the break and kept rolling. A 3-pointer from the corner by Lewis up Duquesne up 47-38 with 12:35 to go. Pitt responded with a to briefly reclaim the lead on a Ryan Luther lay-up.The Dukes, who have struggled to close out games at times -- most notably in losses to Canisius and Tennessee-Martin -- didnt back down this time. Castro and Blackman drilled back-to-back 3s and Duquesne never trailed again then celebrated when the student section stormed the court at PPG Paints Arena.I think its just really big for our team, Blackman said. We really needed this.BIG PICTUREDuquesne: The victory gives Ferry a massive boost at a time he desperately needed it. The Dukes were picked to finish near the bottom of the Atlantic 10 and still have issues but the play of its backcourt should give them a serious uptick in confidence at least in the short term.Pitt: Young needs help, particularly when Artis is not on the floor. Pitts bench managed just two points in all and shot a combined 1 of 8 from the field. Mike had a bad night and that caused some panic in our team and we didnt have enough firepower to solve the problem, Stallings said.HUGE LOSSStallings anointed Artis his teams point forward before the season began and hes lived up to responsibility for the most part. Artis put up a brilliant 22-point, six-rebound, three-assist performance in the romp over the Terrapins not far from his hometown of Baltimore. Stallings stressed its just a one-game penalty for Artis and considering the issues Pitt had moving the ball -- getting just nine assists on 20 field goals -- they certainly need him.Hopefully we wont have to be without him very much, Stallings said. Hes a pretty good player and his numbers speak to that but we have to do as a team what we have to do in order to be successful with whomever is in the game.UP NEXTDuquesne: heads a couple blocks from campus to play at PPG Paints Arena again next Tuesday to take on Robert Morris.Pitt: hosts Buffalo on Wednesday before a trip to New Jersey to face Penn State in the Never Forget Tribute Classic on Dec. 10.---More AP College Basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org Cheap Yeezy 350 v2 Zebra .

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Sabres forward Evander Kane is set to return on Wednesday, and star center Jack Eichel might not be too far behind.Coach Dan Bylsma announced that Kane will play against Ottawa in his first game since missing 11 with broken ribs.As for Eichel, Bylsma said he was meeting with a doctor to have his sprained left ankle evaluated and could soon be cleared for on-ice workouts.I dont want to suggest that its going to be today or tomorrow or the next day that hes getting on the ice, but hes progressing quite nicely, Bylsma said of Eichel, one of the NHLs top rookies last season.Thats encouraging news for a banged-up team that lost Kane and Eichel to injuries a day apart a month ago.Eichel was hurt during practice on Oct. 12, a day before Buffalos season opener against Montreal. Kane was hurt in a 4-1 loss to the Canadiens, when he lost his balance and crashed into the end boards.Its not feeling pretty good, but its well enough where I can contribute, Kane said, assessing his ribs. I feel I can be a difference-maker on the team, so Im looking forward to proving that and going out there tonight and showing it.Kane spent the past week taking part in individual drills, including contact sessions -- the most physical of which occurred on Monday.Hes a two-timme 20-goal-scorer and hard-hitting player who is being counted on to fill a spot on one of Buffalos two top lines.ddddddddddddIn his eighth NHL season, Kane has seen his production slowed by injuries.The Sabres acquired him in a multiplayer trade in February 2015 with Winnipeg and after Kane had season-ending shoulder surgery.He also has encountered off-ice troubles.Last week, a Buffalo judge agreed to dismiss charges against Kane stemming from altercations he had with three women and a bouncer at a bar in June. He was accused of grabbing the women by the hair and neck.Erie County District Attorney Michael Flaherty referred to Kanes behavior as arrogant, boorish and surly, but not criminal.Kane denied the allegations, and his lawyer said the agreement does not include an admission of guilt.Kane said his only concern this past month was getting healthy.I really havent felt like anythings been hanging over my head outside of not being able to play, he said. Now that Im healed up and ready to go, thats what Im looking forward to.Bylsma said center Tyler Ennis is being evaluated for what he called a mid-body injury and wont play against Ottawa. ' ' '
