NCAA Tournament: Xavier ends Pitt's season; Butler leads No.2 West Virginia into the Sweet 16

The Pittsburgh Panthers season came to an end on a disappointing note today as Xavier's Jordan Crawford scored 27 points, including a breakaway dunk with less than two minutes remaining to lead No. 6 Xavier past No. 3 Pitt 71-68 in the West Regional.

History has shown during Pitt previous eight appearances in the NCAA tournament that on most occasions Pitt loses to a team that has a player who can take over a game and history repeated itself in Milwaukee Sunday evening.

Crawford who became a known name during the summer after dunking on NBA star Lebron James, was 9-for-15 from the field and 4-for-7 from three point range in the win.
