While the alma maters of Steph Curry and Draymond Green have been knocked out of the NCAA Tournament, Jordan Poole's school still is dancing with a Sweet 16 game awaiting on Thursday.
Proud of his school, Poole rocked his No. 2 Michigan jersey while entering Amway Center in Orlando on Tuesday, and after the Warriors' deflating 94-90 loss to the Magic, the third-year pro wore his college uniform again.

As Michigan continues their improbable March Madness run, the Warriors have fallen on hard times with Steph Curry out due to a foot injury. Golden State has lost three in a row, but Poole has been one of the few bright spots during the skid. On Tuesday, he scored a game-high 26 points on 9-of-23 shooting from the field and 5-of-13 from 3-point range.
Michigan, the No. 11 seed in the South Region, will take on Villanova, the No. 2 seed, later this week in San Antonio, Texas. The winner will face the winner of the Arizona-Houston game in the Elite Eight on Saturday.
Poole authored one of the most memorable moments in the history of Michigan's basketball program when he nailed a buzzer-beater to lift the Wolverines past Houston in the second round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament.
If there are a pair of upsets Thursday at AT&T Center, Michigan and Houston would meet again, three years later, with a trip to the Final Four on the line. If that happens, Poole might not take off his jersey all week.
