Nijel Pack and Miami hit shots from near and far against the stingiest defense in the country to beat Houston 89-75 in the Sweet 16, leaving the NCAA Tournament without a single No. 1 seed among its final eight teams for the first time since seeding began in 1979.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Knocking No. 1 seed Houston out of the NCAA Tournament made Jim Larrañaga feel like dancing.
Nijel Pack and Miami hit shots from near and far against the stingiest defense in the country as the Hurricanes became only the fifth team this season to score at least 70 points against Houston . The Cougars simply couldn't stop a multifaceted Miami offense led by Pack's 3-point shooting. He had season highs of seven 3-pointers on 10 attempts and 26 points.
"It's a blessing to be back in this arena for sure," Pack said."My teammates found me early and kept me going. They instilled confidence in me from the jump ball. They kept feeding me and telling me to shoot the ball, and I shot it with a lot of confidence, and they were able to go in." Houston battled back to make it a two-point game, but then Pack made three 3s and Miller and Wooga Poplar hit one each to fuel a 16-2 run that put the Canes ahead 70-53. The lead grew to as much as 17 points, and Houston never got closer than 11 the rest of the way.
