Michigan moves on to Sweet 16 with upset over No. 2 Louisville

Updated

The Wolverines' run in the NCAA Tournament continues.

After barely making it to the Big Ten Tournament due to a minor plane crash, the Michigan Wolverines are the Cinderella of this year's NCAA Tournament.

Michigan upset No. 2 Louisville with a 73-69 win to continue its run toward a title in the second round today. Louisville led by nine early in the second half, and looked to be pulling away before the Wolverines made a fierce comeback. Michigan took the lead with just under seven minutes to play in the second half and never looked back.

This is what March Madness is all about — a true Cinderella story in the making.

Michigan will take on the winner of No. 3 Oregon vs. No. 11 Rhode Island on Thursday.
