Indiana is the No. 3 seed for the first time ever. Indiana is 23-30 in the tournament, losing in the championship in 2022 and in the semifinals last season. Its lone tournament championship was in 2002.

In that game, the Hoosiers became the first team this century to open making their first 15 straight shots. Indiana leads the all-time series 49-29 and has won the past three meetings.
