No. 3 seed Michigan and No. 7 seed Texas A&M may have reached the Sweet 16 in the 2018 NCAA tournament by very different routes, but their paths will intersect on Friday night in Los Angeles.

The Wolverines beat No. 6 Houston because of a magical few seconds when freshman Jordan Poole nailed a game-winning three-pointer as time expired.
The Aggies, meanwhile, dismantled the reigning champion No. 2 North Carolina Tar Heels in a game that was never close, 86-65. Four of five A&M players went for double figures, while the fifth, NBA prospect Robert Williams, had eight on 3-of-3 shooting and 13 rebounds.

Who will reach the Elite Eight?
Michigan and Texas A&M haven’t played each other yet this year, but the Wolverines are favored to win. Our Ricky O’Donnell thinks they have the fourth-best chance of all 16 teams remaining to win it all. (A&M is sixth.)
For Michigan to win, it’ll need another stellar performance from its star, Mo Wagner, and needs Duncan Robinson to sty out of foul trouble. For A&M to keep rolling, it’ll need to assert its size over Michigan like it did against the Tar Heels, and dominate on the boards.
This should be a grueling match between two teams known for their defensive prowess. And if it’s anything like the first weekend of NCAA tournament hoops, it’s bound for an exciting finish.
