Clutch play in the final two minutes earned Pitt its first trip to the Elite Eight in 35 years. Levance Fields' three pointer , key steal, and two point layup in the final 51 seconds sealed Pitt's 60-55 win over Xavier. Solid offensive play by Fields and Sam Young, who netted 19 points, was matched by a stingy Panther defense who held Xavier to only 24 percent shooting in the second half.
