With a 71-60 victory over No. 13 seed Kent State on Friday night, the No. 4 seed Indiana Hoosiers advanced to the NCAA Tournament Round of 32, where they'll face the No. 5 seed Miami Hurricanes.
Miami closed the game on a 10-0 run to defeat No. 12 seed Drake on Friday, led by sophomore guard Nijel Pack with 21 points. Sunday will mark the second-ever matchup between Indiana and Miami, and coach Mike Woodson is hungry for a deep tournament run.
"I didn't come back to IU just to coach Indiana basketball," Woodson said. "I want to win some Big Ten titles and a national title. We've got a chance, just like all the teams that are left in this tournament. I'm not selling them on anything less than that."
