GREENSBORO -- The Pitt Panthers are still alive after the first round of the NCAA Tournament. They've won two games against Mississippi State and Iowa State to earn the right to face No. 3 Xavier in the Round of 32. 

Following the conclusion of each of the first round games, the NCAA released game times for the next round, scheduled to be played this weekend. The Panthers will take on old Big East foe Xavier at 12:10 p.m. on Sunday. The game will also be broadcast nationally on CBS, according to a release from the program. 

Despite both being members of the Big East, the Panthers and Musketeers have met just seven times over the course of their histories, with the last two of those matchups coming in the NCAA Tournament. The two squads split those two games, a second round and Sweet 16 matchup.
