I'm rooting for Xavier. One of my best friends went to Xavier and I lived with him and 2 other guys for a year, now I live with the other 2 guys right now since my friend got married, so I root for X. One of my roommates actually works at Xavier in the post office.

Pitt has an awesome guard in Gibbs. They need to stop turning the ball over though.

Pitt is up 18-17

but looks like Xavier could have the matchup they want if they stick with it

Considering there are about 5 people employed there, I know your roommate in a 'sort of' kind of way.

Lets play a game though, why as a Xavier fan do I wish death on John Cahill? Any takers? One game in particular.

John Cahill stared right at Justin Cage get thrown down by Greg Oden and didn't call it intentional. That man is the devil. Every game is like the exorcist in real life to me when he officiates.

But who's bitter? X is the better team at this point in the game. 7 point lead. Throttle down guys!!

Make that 10!

I only know the answer because my buddy still talks about how Oden should be in jail for that foul. :)

It goes back to not having an inside scoring presence

Xavier can just let them shoot out there, they won't make enough to keep up

Wow, tough fadeaway 3 for Crawford.

This games over. Xavier fans can go out and celebrate now.

I can't believe Pitt is a 3 seed.

Pitt is one of the biggest overachieving teams I've ever seen.

Not sure how they won so many games if you look at their personnel.

This is one of the roughest games I've ever seen. Very consistent on both ends though.

How Gibbs makes that is unbelievable to me. Just line drive after line drive.

And Crawford doing his little one on one thing. It's working though.
