"With an early 21-point lead reduced to just 3 and shrinking fast, Williams's shots gave the Minutemen a badly needed margin of error on the way to a 70-59 victory and a berth in the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament. Massachusetts (27-6), the first team to win three consecutive Atlantic 10 tournaments, extended the nation's second-longest home-court winning streak to 33 games."
