They take on No.17 Michigan on Friday (9:39 p.m. ET, CBS), and the Tigers need their National Player of the Year-caliber center Johni Broome to make his mark. While reigning back-to-back champions UConn have finally been deposed, No.14 Purdue, last year's losing finalists, are locked in, with Trey Kaufman-Renn one of the standout players of the tournament so far. They face No.3 Houston on Friday (10:09 p.m. ET, TBS). Thursday's standout ties are No.4 Maryland vs No.1 Florida (7:39 p.m. ET, TBS), and No.4 Arizona vs No.1 Duke (9:39 p.m. ET, CBS).
