Amanda Cahill added 13 points for the Hoosiers (2-0), who will play DePaul in Chicago in the semifinals on Thursday.

Kym Royster scored the last basket of the third quarter to pull Indiana within 37-35 and scored the first two baskets of the fourth. Then Buss scored six straight points to put the Hoosiers ahead 45-37 before Keiana Gilbert's free throw ended the Mocs' drought at 4:49.
