No upsets today, but plenty of good performances

Maybe #10 Penn State was still hot over Thursday's loss to UConn? They pounded Georgetown, 97-74, behind Maggie Lucas' 39 points.

#4 Duke's Elizabeth Williams is recovering from injury, but you wouldn't know it today. She lead the Blue Devils over St. John's at the Maggie Dixon Classic, 60-42. Williams had 16 points, seven rebounds and five blocks.

#15 Purdue escaped Tennessee-Martin, 68-60.

Tulane rallied to beat LSU in overtime, 66-64. It looks like Nikki Caldwell's mojo at UCLA is taking a bit longer to develop in Louisiana.

Also at the Dixon Classic, Rutgers squashed Louisiana Tech, 73-46.

Arizona climbed out of the mediocrity bowl to upend Boston College, 68-59.

Lauren Carra knocked down a jumper with two seconds to go to lift Delaware over Princeton, 59-58.

South Carolina's 69-35 win over Furman makes them 10-0. They have tied the school record for wins to open the season.

Santa Clara beat Long Beach State at the buzzer, 68-67.

Cal State Bakersfield grabbed one, over UC Irvine, 71-64. The head coach of CSUB is Greg McCall, whose daughters are DeWanna Bonner and Erica McCall.
