CHICAGO – For the second year in a row, Mike Woodson and the Indiana Hoosiers advanced to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals.

Indiana defeated Maryland 70-60 on Friday night at the United Center behind 24 points from Trayce Jackson-Davis and 19 from freshman point guard Jalen Hood-Schifino.

Next up is a matchup against the Penn State Nittany Lions, who hit a school record 18 3-pointers in a blowout win over Indiana on Jan. 11. The Hoosiers will be hungry to avenge that loss as they push for a Big Ten Tournament title.

"We came here for one reason, that's to win a championship," Jackson-Davis said. "And I think everybody understands that. We're going to play as hard as we can to get that done."
