Seventh-seeded Texas A&M squares off against third-seeded Michigan with a chance to make the Elite Eight for the first time. The Wolverines have won 11 straight games, a stretch that includes a Big Ten championship and a dramatic second-round victory over Houston. Michigan should hit 3-pointers at a better clip than North Carolina did against A&M in the second round, which should help the Wolverines run the floor in transition and better dictate the pace of the game.
