Indiana trailed by as many as 13 points in the first half, but it's a 40-35 deficit at halftime after a crucial shot from Miller Kopp.

As the clock ticked below five seconds, Trey Galloway drove hard to the basket before kicking it out to Kopp in the corner. With no defender in sight, Kopp knocked down the 3-pointer to trim Miami's lead to five points. Kopp has eight points on 2-for-3 3-point shooting in the first half.

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.
