INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — IUPUI star Macee Williams took a few minutes to savor the final seconds of winning the Horizon League Tournament title. Then she hugged assistant coach Holly Hoopingarner. The two will finally get to to the NCAA Tournament together. It was supposed to happen when Hoopingarner led IUPUI to its first Division I conference title two years ago.

It comes Friday night against Oklahoma.
