It's an all-Big East matchup in tonight's second Elite 8 game. Pitt and Villanova will battle it out to see who will join UConn in the Final 4.

Villanova won their earlier matchup this year 67-57, but a lot has changed since then. Pitt has gone 13-2 since then, with 2 wins over UConn, and other wins over ranked teams Notre Dame, Marquette and Xavier.

The Wildcats haven't been slouches either, and are coming off a huge win over Duke in the Sweet 16.

Who will win? There's only one way to find out. Tune into CBS right now, and watch the game. DO IT.

And if you are, chat it up here.

As always, enjoy the game!

Big men can be taken out of games but your Point Guard is your Quarterback. You can't win if you don't have a good to great point guard. Carolina also would have lost to LSU without Lawson.

I can buy that. That said, Pitt is an average team without Blair. He makes that team go. I think Lawson may be more important because it seems like Danny Green's performance is almost entirely tied to Lawson.
