 DAYTON, Ohio -- As his teammates buzzed around him during warmups, Sam Young lost himself in the funky sounds pumping through his headphones.

Young, Pittsburgh's poet in motion whose words are his second love after basketball, let the sweet, sweet music carry him far away.

 And deeper into the NCAA tournament.

Young scored 32 points -- one shy of his career-high -- and colossal center DeJuan Blair added another double-double as top-seeded Pittsburgh advanced to the round of 16 for the fifth time in eight years with an 84-76 win over Oklahoma State on Sunday in the East Regional.

Pitt (30-4) will play Xavier in the semifinals in Boston on Thursday.

"It's a tough bracket we're in," said Blair, who finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds, some of them with three defenders hanging on him. "We're just fighting through it."

Blair is a beast.  I watched a little of that game.  It made me glad I picked Pitt to win it all!

[Bearsman]

I picked Pitt to win it all as well.

I have Memphis and Pitt in the Championship Game.

This was a good game to watch I thought at times that the Cowboys would pull the upset win againest Pitt. Also I like Memphis in Pitt next game.

If Pitt lost that would screw up a lot of people's brackets. 
I have Mizzou defeating Memphis.
My final four are:
Pitt, Mich St, Louisville, Duke
Finals
Pitt vs Mich St
Winner
Pitt

Out on a limb but if it works I'll win my brackets big.

If Pitt lost that would screw up a lot of people's brackets. 

that is ture, I dont do brackets as I root for my team,  which was in the tournament  but they got kick out. 

[Bearsman]

I have Pitt and Memphis in the champ game.

I got 260 - 320 points on ESPN Tournament challenge and I am beating Obama in the rankings.
