Game two features unbeaten No. 18/20 Indiana (9-0) against Notre Dame (7-4) in a live telecast on ESPN2, featuring the Hoosiers in their first contest since upsetting No. 1-ranked Kentucky, 73-72, last Saturday. Dan Shulman and Dick Vitale call the play-by-play. Tipoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
Doors open to the public at 1 p.m.
