No. 1 seed Kansas will face No. 4 Michigan in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament in the South region.

Michigan had no problems handling VCU's "havoc" defense. The Wolverines dominated the Rams, winning by 25.

The winner in this matchup on Friday, March 29 at 7:37 p.m. ET will advance to the Elite Eight and play the winner of No. 3 Florida vs. No. 15 Florida Gulf Coast University.
