TOP GAMES

Men: No. 4 seed Florida State (18-6) vs. No. 1 seed Michigan (22-4), East Region semifinal, Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis. Tipoff: 5 p.m. Eastern on TBS.

Michigan has withstood an injury to second-leading scorer Isaiah Livers to become the last team remaining from the Big Ten’s nine NCAA Tournament selections. This game features two exceptional freshmen in Michigan’s Hunter Dickinson and Florida State’s Scottie Barnes. Florida State has allowed its first two NCAA Tournament foes to shoot just 33.6% and average 53.5 points. Michigan is averaging 84 points in the NCAA Tournament.

Women: No. 2 seed Louisville (25-3) vs. No. 6 seed Oregon (15-8), Alamo Region semifinal, Alamodome, San Antonio. Tipoff: 7 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

Oregon is seeking to reach its fourth straight regional final, while Louisville’s trying to get there for a third consecutive time. Louisville erased an 18-point deficit in its second-round victory over Northwestern. Oregon had lost five of six games heading into the NCAA Tournament but has bounced back with wins over South Dakota and Georgia. Louisville’s Dana Evans is the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year but shot just 3 of 18 from 3-point range in the first two rounds.
