For the first time since 1998, the round of 16 in the N.C.A.A. women’s tournament will be played without two of its No. 1 seeds.
No. 9 seed Miami, after blitzing Indiana early then holding on for dear life during an onslaught led by Mackenzie Holmes, will instead head to the tournament’s second weekend for the first time since 1992, two years before the bracket-defining expansion that built up the tournament to 64 teams.
Miami’s Destiny Harden hit an inside shot with four seconds left for the 70-68 win, moments after Indiana’s Yarden Garzon had tied the game twice with 3-pointers in the final minute.
