Live updates: Florida State falls to dominant Michigan in Sweet 16, eliminated from NCAA Tournament

The No. 4-seeded Florida State Seminoles (18-6) could not solve top-seeded Michigan Wolverines (22-4) in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament on Sunday.

Florida State (18-6) has now been in the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2018, 2019 and this season -- the 2020 tournament was canceled due to the COVID pandemic.

In 2018, the Seminoles were able to surprise Gonzaga in the Sweet 16, 75-60, but lost to the Wolverines in the Elite 8. In 2019, FSU was knocked out in the Sweet 16 as the Zags gained a measure of revenge in a 72-58 win. 

(For the record, this time around, Gonzaga isn't involved just yet. Instead, the winner gets the winner of UCLA-Alabama in the Elite 8.)

The Seminoles are led by guard M.J. Walker (12.3 points a game) and forward RaiQuan Gray (12 points a game). In a 71-53 win over Colorado in the second round, guard Anthony Polite scored a career-high 20 points as the 'Noles pulled away with a stifling second half. Prior to the win over Colorado, Florida State defeated UNC Greensboro 64-54 in the first round.

Michigan (22-4) won the Big Ten regular-season title but lost to Ohio State in the conference tournament. The Wolverines are led by center Hunter Dickinson (14.2 points, 7.5 rebounds a game), but second-leading scorer Isaiah Livers (12.5 points a game) is unlikely to return this season following a foot injury. The Wolverines beat Texas Southern 78-66 and LSU 86-78 to reach this point.
