Productive off benchYoung totaled 13 points (3-5 FG, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 23 minutes in Wednesday's 71-70 loss to Pittsburgh.

ImpactYoung saw an uptick in playing time Wednesday since Robbie Beran and Pete Nance got into some foul trouble, and he had a season-high 13 points as a result. While the redshirt sophomore could see increased opportunities if his output continues, he still appears to be entrenched behind Nance in the frontcourt.
