Michigan basketball advanced to the Sweet Sixteen with a win over No. 10 Florida on Saturday night.

The Wolverines gave up some early 3s, but buckled down in the second half and held the Gators to well under a point per possession.

For a team that has prided itself on defense all season, it was no surprise Michigan won the game the way it did.

And now it'll face the only other team that can claim it has the nation's best defense.
