Here are three things that are not close: Australia, Belgium, and today's NCAA tournament game between No. 4 Pittsburgh and No. 13 Oral Roberts of the South region. Pitt won 82-63, easily covering the 8-point spread.

This game was over early, even before Pitt led by 19 at the half, 47-24.

Levance Fields was the game's high scorer with 23 points. Fields, of course, was injured for much of the middle of the season.

Sam Young added 14 for the Panthers.

Oral Roberts was led by Robert Jarvis' 16-point performance.

The Panthers have now won six in a row after sweeping their way to a Big East championship with victories over Cincinnati, Louisville, Marquette and Georgetown, the last three ranked in the top-25 in the nation.

Pitt moves on to play No. 5 Michigan State in what should be a very competitive game on Saturday.
