Miami's AJ Casey caught the ball near the basket, but Trayce Jackson-Davis had other plans.

With a win, Indiana would advance to its first Sweet 16 since 2016 with Yogi Ferrell and coach Tom Crean. In Kansas City, Indiana would face the No. 1 seed Houston Cougars and former Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson. Houston defeated Auburn 81-64 on Saturday in the Round of 32 thanks to 26 points and nine rebounds from sophomore guard Tramon Mark and 22 points from first-team All-American guard Marcus Sasser.
