Led by Ajah Wayne, ODU Women's Basketball Team Upsets North Texas in Conference USA Tournament

By Harry Minium

College basketball tournaments are Darwinian in nature. Win and move on or lose and go home, goes the old saying.

So far, the Old Dominion University women's basketball team has refused to go home.

With six players playing nearly every minute for the second night in a row, ODU upset North Texas, 71-66, Wednesday afternoon in the first round of the Conference USA tournament at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.

ODU rallied from a 5-point deficit with 22.9 seconds left and defeated Western Kentucky in overtime in Tuesday's preliminary round.
