News about Jim Larranaga

Not since Boston and Los Angeles in 2020 has the sports world's attention and curiosity been so concentrated on one area of America as Florida in 2023. The Boston Red Sox were reigning World Series champions, the New England Patriots were Super Bowl champions, and the Boston Bruins had reached the Stanley Cup Finals by the summer of 2019. The following year was devoted to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers snapped a 32-year championship drought ended and the Lakers claimed their first NBA title in the bubble.

The fifth-seed Miami Hurricanes delivered yet another March Madness shock to defeat Texas and book its spot in the Final Four next weekend. For the second year in a row, Miami was in the Elite Eight for the second year in a row, but the school had never advanced to the Final Four in the school's history - until now. The girls had already defeated No. 1 seed Houston in the Sweet 16, and they now look forward to a big game against UConn on Saturday in Texas.

Jim Larranaga, the Miami Hurricanes' head coach, celebrated his team's historic victory over Houston by defusing his bold dance moves in the locker room. In a memorable NCAA Tournament moment, the No.5 seed Hurricanes upset the No. 1 seeded Houston Cougars 89-75, and Larranaga defied his 73 years by performing to the delight of his players shortly after the game. No No.1 seeded team has advanced to the Elite Eight round of the tournament for the first time in tournament history.
