KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Elite Eight won’t feature any No. 1 seeds for the first time in men's NCAA tournament history.
Nigel Pack’s hot shooting propelled No. 5 Miami to an 89-75 win over No. 1 Houston in the Midwest region on Friday night. Miami’s win came less than an hour after No. 1 Alabama lost to No. 5 San Diego State in the South region.
Pack was unconscious from behind the 3-point line as he did a fantastic job getting open looks and even making contested threes. He finished the game 7-of-10 from deep and his seventh 3-pointer came with 12:12 to go to give the Hurricanes a 62-53 lead.
