The Elite Eight won't feature any No. 1 seeds for the first time in men's NCAA tournament history.
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI - MARCH 24: Nijel Pack #24 of the Miami Hurricanes celebrates a three-point basket against Jarace Walker #25 of the Houston Cougars during the second half in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at T-Mobile Center on March 24, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri. 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.
Houston had cut Miami’s six-point halftime lead to two just minutes earlier but Pack’s 3 came in the midst of a 16-2 run that opened up a 17-point lead for the Hurricanes with 10:03 to go. Houston couldn’t do anything to catch up after that. The Cougars ended up trading baskets with Miami every time they attempted to make a run. Pack scored a game-high 26 points while teammate Isaiah Wong had 20.
