CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami coach Jim Larrañaga climbed the ladder, grabbed the last strand of net, ripped it off the rim and waved it in the air.
It took all 20 league games, going down to the final second, but his Hurricanes can call themselves Atlantic Coast Conference champions.
Wooga Poplar made a career-best six 3-pointers for 18 points, and 16th-ranked Miami captured the No. 1 seed for the ACC Tournament with a 78-76 win over No. 25 Pittsburgh on Saturday night.
"This was a nice celebration, it feels great - but we're far from done," Miami's Jordan Miller said.
