This is a historic Elite Eight in that it is the first in NCAA Tournament history without a No. 1 seed and the first with one or fewer No. 1 and No. 2 seeds. Thus, Texas carries the torch as the only top-two seed remaining in the tournament, and it has a lot of pressure riding on it with a chance to play the Final Four in its home state in Houston.
Miami was picked to finish fourth in the ACC Preseason Media Poll but silenced doubters after winning the regular season conference championship. The Hurricanes are in the Elite Eight for the second consecutive year, the only team to make it back from last year. Miami is searching for its first-ever Final Four appearance, while head coach Jim Larranaga seeks his second career trip to the Final Four after taking George Mason there in 2006.
