NCAA Second Round, West Region: (3) Pittsburgh vs. (6) Xavier

• Non

  

  35-28 Xavier
  
  at the half
  
  still an uphill climb for Pitt not being a good offensive team
• CinciX12

  

  Disappointing to let the lead get to single digits at the end of the half but overall its obvious that X is the better team right now.
  
  Gibbs cannot keep up the way that he is playing and Crawford will eventually take the game over.
• Non

  

  Crawford is always open because of his length
  
  Especially playing against the Pitt guards, even if they're up close he can get off an open shot
  
  Pitt doesn't have an answer for that
• Non

  

  Gibbs has 18 of 28
• CinciX12

  

  There is no way Aaron Gibbs can keep playing like he did in that first half.
  
  Pitt is going to have to become more balanced in the 2nd half in order to win.
• Non

  

  this guy is awesome
  
  Crawford

  Wow. The kid who dunked on LeBron is having a whale of a weekend.

  Jordan Crawford will not be denied. Does he go pro this year or next year?
• CinciX12

  

  Pitt comes out strong to make it a 5 point game and Jordan Crawford says F you Pitt and its a 12 point game now.
  
  I have been telling you guys for months now to watch this guy play.
• Mulva

  

  If only Indiana still had him and Bassett.
• Upper90

  Not that I didn't know it before.
  
  But Jordan Crawford gets buckets.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Xavier is just better than Pitt. That doesn't mean Pitt won't catch fire and steal it, but Xavier should win this one handily.

  Before this weekend it was probably a bad decision to leave after this season. But performances like this have to help his cause when it comes to the NBA.
• Non

  

  there's nothing you can do against a guy like that
  
  like Durant
  
  just tall, versatile can shoot even if you're guarding him
• Non

  

  he's only 6'4 but seems taller

  I remembered when it came out he was transferring to Xavier from Indiana, I told my buddy that in a year you'll be getting a heck of a player, and that even with what they lost from last year they'd still be good this year since Crawford will be playing, and he has even exceeded the hype I put on him.
• CinciX12

  

  I am going to kiss him when he gets back to campus. I am going to walk to his apartment and kiss him.
  
  And punch Kenny right after.
• killer_ewok

  

  Nice take by Wanamaker.
• Non

  

  he passed to Frease?
  
  Crawford should just shoot from halfcourt rather than do that lol
• Mulva

  

  I took Frease to school at a summer camp back in the day. Of course, he wasn't even in high school yet and wasn't a 7 foot tall giant then, but I made him my bitch.
• Non

  

  Pitt is playing pretty well in the second half
  
  but it's just a situation where you have a true X factor
• Non

  

  50-44 Xavier
  
  Pitt claws back but then will give up two 3s and be buried again
• CinciX12

  

  It truly is amazing to me how putting Frease in for just 30 seconds causes absolute fucking havoc for this Xavier team. He is flat out the most worthless Division 1 college basketball player in perhaps the history of sporting events.
  
  I'd start Kyle Madsen for 4 years before I'd ever start Kenny (we did earlier this year)

  I hate Southwest Airlines.

  They need to show the Palm commercial with the Mos Def song and the hot chick.
