Buzz Williams' Breakdown:

"I'm very thankful. I think the resilience of our guys today showed up on the scoreboard. I'm inspired by how they've continued to fight through everything."
"It's hard to overcome an opponent hitting 14 threes, particularly when you're on the road, but I thought the fight and togetherness was as good as it's been in a long time."
"Their offense is very unique. They get fouled at a high rate because they put you in a scramble."
"I thought we were much better on the glass on both sides of the ball than we've been. We didn't give them the ball and we drew fouls."
