WICHITA, Kan. -- Jordan Poole strutted into the locker room a different person than he'd left it in just one way: He had made the shot that kept Michigan alive in the NCAA Tournament. The college basketball world may have been introduced to the gregarious freshman late Saturday night, but he's been soaking up the spotlight all season.

"He's never going to shut up now," junior Moritz Wagner said as he playfully blocked Poole from getting to his locker. "Never. Never."

Poole made a 28-footer -- with a Houston defender in his grill, as the clock expired -- to turn a heartbreaking loss into a Sweet 16 appearance.
