Brayden Burries earned late-game minutes with his paint pressure and all-around play.

“Yeah, he played great. He earned it. I thought his playmaking, his ability to get downhill, he did a great job offensive rebounding, defensive rebounding. Was, you know, making some shots, getting to the free throw line. I thought he did a solid job on defense. There's some things he can do better, but he was playing great tonight. Tyler had a great night. Brayden had a great night. They were kind of our best at getting into the paint throughout the game. So, rewarded the kid. He earned it. Thanks, everyone.”
