The Indiana Hoosiers advanced to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals, where they'll play Penn State on Saturday at the United Center in Chicago, Ill. Here's how to watch, with game time and TV information, the latest on the point spread, the coaching matchup, series history, stats, rankings and more.

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."
