Thanks to Trey Burke's clutch performance against Kansas, the Michigan Wolverines are in the Elite Eight for the first time since 1994. Now they must take on Billy Donovan's Florida Gators, who have reached the Regional Final in each of the last two years.

The 2013 Big Ten player of the year saved No. 4 Michigan against No. 1 Kansas, nailing a game-tying 3-pointer in the final seconds of regulation. After going scoreless in the first half, Burke tallied 23 points in the second half and overtime as he led the Wolverines past the experienced Jayhawks.

"A lot of people doubted us, a lot of people thought we were too young, not tough enough. And I think we've proved people wrong over the last couple of weeks," Burke said on Saturday, via the Associated Press. "I think we understood we have what it takes to be a young team that can go far in this tournament. Being young isn't an excuse."

Can Burke, Mitch McGary and the rest of the young Wolverines dispatch another experienced team? Or will No. 3 Florida knock out the last remaining Big Ten school in the field?
