According this article, Musketeers, held the Badgers to 25% shooting in the second half of a 60-49 victory Sunday in the East Regional."We didn't lose faith in what got us here," Xavier coach Sean Miller said. "We reminded our team that we have been against styles like that and it requires a lot of tough-mindedness and patience."
The Badgers (20-13) were 16-for-56
from the floor and made three of 20 three-point attempts."Defense. That's our identity. We're not going to score 90 points and outshoot people and we realize that," said Derrick Brown, one of two Xavier players to score in double figures.
"We knew we would have to play a great game to advance," Miller said. "In this tournament, make no mistake, whoever is on that line above or below you is going to be a very good team."
"It's a whole different story if guys knock down just a few shots," Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said.
Wisconsin patiently worked the shot clock and even led by a point with about 9:10 remaining before the Musketeers cracked through.
