Michigan basketball is moving on, and junior guard Tre Donaldson made if official by placing the Wolverines’ name on the bracket. U-M will face Texas A&M Saturday in Denver.

Michigan got it done with a balanced attack in the win over the Tritons, with nobody scoring more than 14 but all but one player who saw the floor putting up 6 or more.

Michigan and Texas A&M will tip off at 5:15 p.m. ET on CBS.

Quote Of The Day

“We take pride in that. Yeah, absolutely. We’ve been in these and you feel it. It got loud in there tonight. I was impressed with how many people were pulling against us. We are the lower seed tomorrow — I mean on Saturday. We’ll welcome all the in-between fans as the 5 seed going against Texas A&M. We’ll welcome those guys.

“Yeah, we knew they were going to make a run. I thought for a short prep time our guys did a really good job on UCSD. They just keep coming at you, keep coming at you. They believe, as well. They have older guys. Man, they put on a performance in the second half.

“But like the rebounds of Vlad, I thought Rubin Jones had two monster rebounds as well. Those aren’t rebounds that land in your hands. He got one big tip-out which allowed us to call a timeout. Late he finished it up at the very, very end with another rebound. Those hustle plays, especially by Vlad, Rubin, and Danny, didn’t have one of his better games offensively, but he was a monster on the glass, five offensive rebounds. Tre Donaldson, big shots, Roddy Gayle getting downhill. We needed all those paint points.”
