After a dominating win over No. 7 Texas A&M on Thursday night, the No. 3 Michigan Wolverines are in the Elite 8 just one victory away from the Final Four.

There were four games on Thursday night, all 3 of the 4 were upsets, with the Wolverines being the only higher-ranked team to win.

No. 11 Loyola Chicago continued its Cinderella run, beating No. 7 Nevada; No. 9 Kansas State upset No. 5 Kentucky and No. 9 Florida State routed No. 4 Gonzaga.
