WATCH: Indiana Prepares For Miami on 'NCAA March Madness Confidential' Video Series
Indiana is one of six teams featured in "NCAA March Madness Confidential," a video series that features exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage of the NCAA Tournament produced by CBS Sports and Warner Bros. Discovery Sports. Production crews will follow Indiana, Texas, Arizona, Saint Mary’s, Creighton and Memphis on their journeys through the Big Dance.
No. 4 seed Indiana approaches a matchup against No. 5 seed Miami in the Round of 32, and two new videos were released on Sunday, chronicling the Hoosiers' win over Kent State and their preparation for Miami.
Coach Mike Woodson, along with senior Trayce Jackson-Davis, Miller Kopp, Race Thompson and freshman Jalen Hood-Schifino were interviewed for the video series, and there's plenty of in-game highlights, clips from practice and locker room footage, too.
Tipoff between Indiana and Miami is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. ET at MVP Arena in Albany, N.Y. The Hoosiers defeated No. 13 seed Kent State 71-60 in the first round, and Miami closed the game on a 10-0 run to defeat No. 12 seed Drake, 63-56.
Jackson-Davis, a first-team All-American, led Indiana with 24 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and five blocks, and fellow senior forward Race Thompson tied his season-high with 20 points and nine rebounds.
Miami is a guard-oriented team led by the trio of Isaiah Wong (15.8 ppg), Jordan Miller (15.0 ppg) and Nijel Pack (13.4 ppg). Coach Jim Larrañaga has five players that shoot above 35 percent from 3-point range, and Norchad Omier anchors Miami in the paint with 13.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game.
