It seemed Kansas needed only one more play to ice a Sweet cheap jersey 16 victory over Michigan.
But Wolverines guard Trey Burke had other plans.
Burke hit a clutch, game-tying 3-pointer with 4.3 seconds left in regulation, then hit two more key baskets in overtime to lead the Wolverines to an 87-85 upset of No. 1 seed Kansas on Friday night at Cowboys Stadium.

Kansas' cheap jersey wholesale Naadir Tharpe had his 3-point attempt at the buzzer hit off the front of the rim and bounced away.
"We fought so hard to come back," Burke said. "It didn't matter how far the shot was, it was all or nothing. I had a lot of faith in that shot."
Tharpe had another chance at the overtime buzzer, but again missed as the Wolverines survived and advanced.
Now Michigan (29-7) rides the momentum of its Sweet 16 victory into the South Regional final to face the winner of Friday's late game between Florida and Florida Gulf Coast.
