CALLEN’S EVOLUTION IS ONLY BEGINNING AP photo Louisville’s Terrence Williams celebrates after Lousville defeated Arizona 103-64 in the NCAA Tournament’s Midwest Regional semifinal game Friday in Indianapolis. Louisville keeps Big East rolling By Jim O’Connell Associated Press writer

Four out of eight isn’t bad. The Big East’s hopes of breaking its own record and becoming the first con- ference with all the teams in a Final Four ended with Syracuse’s 84-71 loss to Oklahoma in the South Regional semifi- nals on Friday night. The Big East followed up its record three No. 1 seeds in this tournament by setting another mark with five teams in the round of 16. All but Syracuse moved on to this weekend’s regional finals. The four teams in a round of eight is also a record. Pittsburgh and Villanova will meet in the East Regional final today, a game that guarantees the Big East at least one team in Detroit for the Final Four. Connecticut will play Missouri in the West today, while Louisville, which beat Arizona 103-64 on Friday night, will play Michigan State on Sunday. The Spartans ended their game against Kansas with a 12-2 run to take a 67-62 win. Louisville coach Rick Pitino said facing all the different styles in the Big East has the teams prepared for the tournament. “Arizona is a great slap down team, great steal team.
