The Miami Hurricanes are headed to the Elite Eight for the second year in a row after an 89-75 upset over No. 1 seed Houston in the Sweet 16. The Hurricanes will face off against Texas in the Midwest Regional final as they attempt to make their first Final Four appearance. Miami’s Nigel Pack led the charge with 26 points, capitalizing on Houston’s inability to keep up with their small-ball roster.

The loss is upsetting for Houston, who would have had the opportunity to play in their hometown if they had advanced to the Final Four. With all No. 1 seeds ousted before the Final Eight for the first time in March Madness seeding history, the bracket has been thrown into disarray. While the Hurricanes have been hitting the headlines for their impressive performance this season, the Hurricane cheerleaders have also been stealing the spotlight.
