Winner goes to the Elite Eight.

I just don't think X has anyone to control Blair. Their only hope would be for him to get into early foul trouble which he is prone to do.

That's how I see it. Xavier will have to shoot very well and get Blair in foul trouble. I think a way to do this would be by getting a faster player on him like Brown and try to drive by him and see if you can get a bump or a stupid fould by him.

37-29, Xavier at the half.

Would like to root for the hometown team, but they are seriously effing with my bracket!

 

[Jake]

Well, maybe Xavier will score at some point in this half.

 

[Jake]

First 31 minutes shooting %:

X - 31%
Pitt - 30%

Some of that has been caused by the defense, but not all of it.

X leads 43-40

 

[NFBuck]

Come on Xavier!

 

[jlb1705]

Holy shit, what a shot by Fields!

 

[jlb1705]

Xavier got sloppy, leads to a layup at the other end. Pitt by 3 with :23 left.

the more of these close calls pitt makes it through, the more of a favorite they become in my book.

 

[buckeyemania11]

[NFBuck]

the more of these close calls pitt makes it through, the more of a favorite they become in my book.

Reminding me a lot of tOSU in 2007.

Pitt wins it at the line. Good game. My bracket survives.
