LOUISVILLE, K.Y., (AP) -- No. 2 seed Villanova is on to Saturday's Elite Eight after a 92-69 rout of No. 3 Miami on Thursday night.

The Wildcats scored the game's first eight points and led throughout, helped by 10-of-15 shooting from 3-point range.

Ryan Arcidiacono and Kris Jenkins combined to make 9 of 13 from behind the arc to score 21 points each for the Wildcats (32-5), who will face the winner between top-seeded Kansas and No. 5 Maryland.

Sheldon McClellan scored 26 points for the Hurricanes (27-8), who allowed the second-most points they've given up this season.
