Xavier defeated West Virginia in vertime 79-75 to advance to the Elite 8, (more here).
Despite getting off to a slow start, Xavier's B.J. Raymond made the key plays that put the Musketeers up for good in the overtime period.
Raymond hit two 3-pointers in the last 1:18 of overtime:
"Raymond, who had made only one field goal all night, hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key to put the Musketeers ahead 75-74 with 1:18 to play. He then shook loose on an inbounds play, took a crosscourt pass and made a 3 with the shot clock expiring with 30 seconds to go for a 78-74 lead."
In addition to Xavier, three other teams punched their tickets to the Elite 8 on Thursday night.
North Carolina beat Washington State 68-47 (more here, courtesy of the Raleigh News Observer), Louisville upended Tennessee 79-60 (more, courtesy of the Louisville Courier-Journal, here), and UCLA got past Western Kentucky 88-78.
On Saturday, Louisville will face North Carolina and UCLA will take on Xavier. The winners of those games will advance to the Final Four.
