There's no mistaking Miami for just a football school anymore. Not after coach Jim Larranaga guided the once-struggling Hurricanes to the top of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Shane Larkin scored eight of his career-high 28 points in the final 2½ minutes to help No. 9 Miami pull away and beat North Carolina (24-10) 87-77 in Sunday's ACC tournament final in Greensboro, N.C.
Trey McKinney Jones added a career-high 20 points for the top-seeded Hurricanes (27-6), who won their first tournament title. It came one week after Miami completed its surprising run to its first ACC regular-season title.
Mississippi 66, Florida 63: Murphy Holloway scored 23 points and Marshall Henderson had 21 as the Rebels gave coach Andy Kennedy his first NCAA tournament berth by upsetting the 13th-ranked Gators (26-7) in Nashville, Tenn., for the Southeastern Conference tournament championship. The Rebels (26-8) have won seven of eight to grab their first tournament title since 1981 and their second ever.
Ohio State 50, Wisconsin 43: Deshaun Thomas scored 17 points and the 10th-ranked Buckeyes (26-7) used their stout defense to beat the No. 22 Badgers (23-11) in Chicago for Big Ten tournament
Arizona: The Pac-12 announced it has reprimanded and fined Arizona coach Sean Miller $25,000 for two postgame incidents after the Wildcats' loss to UCLA in the semifinals of the Pac-12 tournament. Immediately after the game, Miller confronted a game official on the floor, and then acted inappropriately toward a staff member in the hallway of the arena.
