Then another No. 5 seed, Miami, knocked out No. 1 seed Houston, beating the Cougars 89-75.
The fifth-seeded Aztecs (30-6) will face either Creighton or Princeton on Sunday in the West Region final as they seek their first Final Four in program history. With fellow No. 1 seeds Purdue and Kansas losing during the tournament鈥檚 first weekend, Houston 鈥� which played Miami on Friday night 鈥� was the only top-seeded team remaining.
