The Miami Hurricanes pulled off an historic victory Friday night by taking down the No. 1 seeded Houston Cougars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This is the first time in three years Houston didn\u2019t make it to the Elite Eight.<\/p>\n

Next up, Miami is set to play the Texas Longhorns in the Elite Eight at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri. Texas defeated the No. 3 seeded Xavier 83-71 on Friday.<\/p>\n

Several Twitter users took notice of the 73-year-old coach’s epic dance moves.<\/p>\n

“Coach L is the best. The love, respect, and mutual admiration between Coach and the young men on the team is so beautiful and infectious,” one person wrote.<\/p>\n

Another called for a few encore performances from Larranaga. “I want to see him dance 3 more times!!! That cat can move!”<\/p>\n

Larranaga’s job coaching the team from the baseline was also impressive.<\/p>\n

The Cougars simply couldn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

Isaiah Wong\u2019s mid-range game helped get the ‘Canes out to a fast start, and he finished with 20 points.<\/p>\n

Jordan Miller hurt the Cougars with his penetration and had 13 points, and Norchad Omier was his usual rugged self under the basket while recording his 16th double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds.<\/p>\n

Miami turned the ball over just once in the first 20 minutes, converted Miami\u2019s six turnovers into 15 points and shot 6 of 14 from a distance against the second-best 3-point defense in the country.<\/p>\n

ESPN host Mark Parker also appreciated how Larranaga’s team performed in a big moment.<\/p>\n

“Another incredible run and a return visit to the Elite 8 for the Miami Hurricanes and Jim Larranaga. First time in the history of the NCAA Tourney that not a single #1 seed makes it to the Elite 8,” Parker said.<\/p>\n

“I’d say that the Miami Hurricanes had a pretty good day at the office. The women’s basketball team, a 9-seed, advances to their first Elite 8, and the men follow suit by knocking off a 1-seed in Houston.”<\/p>\n

Miami and UConn are the only schools that still have their men’s and women’s remaining in the both tournaments.<\/p>\n
