Recap: UM blows out Texas A&M, moves on to Elite 8

The result was never really in doubt.

Thanks to a suffocating defense and a barrage of 3-point shooting, Michigan advanced to the Elite 8 for the third time in six years with a 99-72 win over Texas A&M in Thursday night's Sweet 16 matchup in Los Angeles.

The Wolverines put on a show in the first half, going 10-for-16 from beyond the arc. They finished 14-for-24 for the night.

Zavier Simpson was a stud on both ends of the floor, leading the first half defensive charge that led Michigan to a 52-28 halftime lead. Simpson finished with 11 points and six steals.
