Connecticut was more dominant in doing so, but Pittsburgh -- thanks to senior point guard Levance Fields -- joined the Huskies just now in Saturday's Elite Eight games.
I don't the Panthers played particularly well and, in fact, trailed Xavier most of the game.
But Fields, with a 3-point heave that swished and then a steal and layup for a three-point advantage, snatched the game away from the Musketeers, 60-55.
Be it against Duke or Villanova, Pitt is going to have to play a whole lot better in order to get to its first Final Four Saturday after advancing to its first Elite Eight round.
FYI: If you've picked Connecticut to win the national title, you should be feeling pretty good about things.
