The Big East Conference has a record 5 teams in the Regional semi-finals (Sweet 16) this year.
It's time for Pitt to get past this place that they have gotten stuck at every time this millenium. Ironically, they will try to do so against Xavier, coached by former Panther star point guard Sean Miller. They will play on Thursday, March 26 at 7:27 pm.
