The Miami Hurricanes pulled off an historic victory Friday night by taking down the No. 1 seeded Houston Cougars.
Miami head coach Jim Larranaga celebrated the big win by breaking out a few impressive dances moves in the locker room, much to the delight of his players.
The top-seeded Alabama Crimson Tide suffered a 71-64 loss to San Diego State earlier on Friday. Houston’s loss marked the first time in the history of the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament that every No. 1 seeded team failed to advance to the Elite Eight.

Another called for a few encore performances from Larranaga. “I want to see him dance 3 more times!!! That cat can move!”
Larranaga’s job coaching the team from the baseline was also impressive.
The Cougars simply couldn’t stop a multifaceted Miami offense that Larranaga had drawn up. Miami was led by Nijel Pack’s 3-point shooting. He had season highs of seven 3-pointers on 10 attempts and 26 points.
