But the biggest story of the weekend was the Miami Hurricanes' 70-68 win over the Indiana Hoosiers. The Hoosiers, who were the No. 4 seed in the Midwest Region, were without All-American center Mackenzie Holmes due to a knee injury. Freshman Lilly Meister filled in admirably, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Hurricanes. Miami was led by Haley Cavinder (12.8 points per game) and Destiny Harden (11.9 points and 5.8 rebounds). Harden scored the winning points with 3 seconds left, and the game was broadcast on ESPN2 and 105.1 FM in Bloomington.
The loss was a disappointing end to a successful season for the Hoosiers, who finished 27-3 and won the Big Ten regular season title. Mackenzie Holmes had 22 points and 8 rebounds, Grace Berger had 17 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and Yarden Garzon had 10 points. The Hoosiers will look to build on this season's success next year, when they will be led by a healthy Mackenzie Holmes and a talented group of returning players.
