Miami beats No. 1 seed Houston; all four top NCAA seeds out

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Knocking No. 1 seed Houston out of the NCAA Tournament made Jim Larrañaga feel like dancing.

Much to his players' delight, the 73-year-old Miami coach busted moves straight out of the disco era in the locker room Friday night to celebrate an 89-75 Sweet 16 victory that left the tournament without a No. 1 seed among its final eight teams for the first time since seeding began in 1979.

Larrañaga is known to dance in the locker room after his biggest wins, and this one in the Big Dance surely qualified.
