Sports: Michigan Stuns Louisville; Spartans done.

Michigan beat second-seeded Louisville 73-69 and head to the Sweet 16.  The seventh-seeded Wolverines (26-11) have won seven straight — six since a plane accident before the Big Ten Tournament.  Moe Wagner scored a career-high 26 points and spurred a furious second-half rally.  Trailing by 9 with 16 minutes to play, the German native scored on a layup to start a 17-6 run that gave Michigan its first lead since the opening minutes. And after Wagner's 3-pointer broke a 55-55 tie with 6:39 to go, the Wolverines led the rest of the way.   Michigan is a 1-point favorite against Oregon in the Sweet 16 on Thursday in Kansas City.

MSU Loses

Kansas pulled away late to reach the Sweet 16 for a second straight year.  Kansas beat Michigan State, 90-70 on Sunday.    Miles Bridges scored 22 points to lead Michigan State (20-15) despite leaving briefly in the first half with an injury.  Nick Ward also finished in double figures with 13 points and Joshua Langford had 10 for the Spartans.

Big Ten Shows the Committee

Eighth-seeded Wisconsin took out No. 1 overall seed and defending national champion Villanova in a second-round game Saturday and No. 4 Purdue defeated No. 5 Iowa State.  Suddenly, the conference that went into the tournament with no team seeded higher than No. 4 has three in regional semifinals, matching last year's total.

In other upsets, second-seeded Duke fell to seventh-seeded South Carolina and Florida State lost to 11^th seeded Xavier.

Detroit finished strong in that period and then built a double-digit lead of its own in the fourth.  Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 23 points.  Andre Drummond had 18 points and 18 rebounds for the Pistons, and Aron Baynes had 13 points and 17 rebounds.  The Pistons hit the road to play the Nets on Tuesday, the Bulls on Wednesday and also play at Orlando and New York in the coming week.
