The South Regional of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament played its' semifinal round with two games contested at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
In the opener, Trey Burke, who scored 23 points, delivered a game-tying three-point basket in the final seconds of regulation time as the #4 Michigan Wolverines (29-7) came back from a 10-point deficit with three minutes remaining in regulation to post an 87-85 overtime win over the top seeded Kansas Jayhawks (31-6). All five of the Wolverines' starters, paced by Mitch McGary with 25 points (to go with his 14 rebounds), scored in double figures. Michigan has advanced to the elite eight for the first time since 1994.
In the nightcap, Mike Rosario scored 15 points as #3 Florida (29-7) ended #15 Florida Gulf Coast's magical ride (and seven-game winning streak; they finish at 26-11) with a 62-50 triumph. The Gators will take part in their third successive Elite Eight.
Florida and Michigan will play in the South Regional final on Sunday (11:20 AM Pacific Time, CBS) for a trip to Atlanta and the Final Four.
