Final: IU 63 VCU 31

Another game down to the wire and another Hoosiers victory.

Sophomore forward Will Sheehey hit a baseline jumper with 12.3 seconds to go gave No.-4 seed IU a 63-61 victory over No.-12 seed VCU on Saturday evening.
   
VCU had a final look with a wide open three from the left wing, but it went begging, and the Hoosiers advanced to their first Sweet Sixteen since 2002.
   
The Hoosiers overcame a season-high 22 turnovers and held VCU to two field goals during the game’s final 10 minutes plus.
   
Junior Christian Watford and freshman Cody Zeller each had 16 points to lead the Hoosiers.
   
IU will play on Saturday in Atlanta against the winner of Kentucky/Iowa State.
