The third-seeded Wolverines (30-7) – who beat Houston on a last-second 3-pointer – will meet seventh-seeded Texas A&M (22-12) after the Aggies blew out the reigning champion Tar Heels in their home state.

Fourth-seeded Gonzaga (32-4) will face ninthseede­d Florida State (2211) after the Seminoles’ upset of the Musketeers.

“I think what you see happening in college basketball, it’s almost like a revolution,” FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said. “And what happens is you start categorizi­ng people by the reputation that their players get going into college.

“But in reality, kids are playing basketball all over the country and teams are getting better.”
