Pittsburgh (30-4) will play Xavier in the East Regional semifinals in Boston on Thursday. Obi Muonelo scored 19 points for the eighth-seeded Cowboys (23-12), who gave the Panthers all they could handle before losing their touch in the final minutes. Oklahoma State made 10 3-pointers in the first half but made only two of 12 from long range after halftime.
Midwest Regional
Louisville 79, Siena 72: At Dayton, Ohio, Terrence Williams had 24 points and 15 rebounds, rallying the top-seeded Cardinals to a victory over the Saints in the second round.
Louisville (30-5) advanced to the round of 16 for the second straight year. The Cardinals will play 12th-seeded Arizona in the Midwest Regional on Friday in Indianapolis.
Michigan State 74, USC 69: At Minneapolis, Travis Walton scored 18 points to lift the second-seeded Spartans into the round of 16.
Kansas 60, Dayton 43: At Minneapolis, Cole Aldrich posted a triple-double with 13 points, 20 rebounds and 10 blocked shots to lead defending champion Kansas past 11th-seeded Dayton.

West Regional
Missouri 83, Marquette 79: At Boise, Idaho, Kim English came off the bench to “pinch shoot” and made two free throws with 5.5 seconds left to lift the Tigers.
