Michigan basketball is taking on Saint Louis in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The 1-seed Wolverines rolled 16-seed Howard after a slow start in the first half, beating the Bison 101-80 to earn a spot in the second round against Saint Louis.
The Billikens, a 9-seed, had an arguably even more convincing victory over 8-seed Georgia in the first round, taking a 17-point lead at the half and then scored 53 more points in the second half for a dominant 102-77 win.
Now, the two teams will square off in Buffalo, New York at KeyBank Center for the first game of the day, tipping off at 12:10 p.m. on CBS.
The 1-seed Wolverines are a Final Four favorite after finishing the regular season No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.
Michigan had arguably its best regular season ever comfortably winning the Big Ten regular season crown and then making it to the Big Ten Tournament title game before faltering against 7-seed Purdue (who enters the NCAA Tournament as a 2-seed).
