Everybody is drawn to him everywhere he goes. Everybody loves the guy. I'm pretty sure either after the game or before, I'll get a funny text message from him. That's just the kind of guy he is.

I know my Texas history. I'm proud to be part of it.

I'll give him credit. He knocked down a big-time shot.
importance knew night took understood
I think we understood the importance of the game. I think we understood that every night we come out to play, we come out to win. We knew that wasn't one of our better halves, so we took that as motivation.
cheap looking picked spots watch
I picked up fouls that weren't smart. A lot of those were cheap fouls. When I was on bench, I could watch the flow. Once I got back in the game, I was looking to where I could pick my spots and where I can take some opportunities.

It's just a winning school. You always equate Texas with winning and working hard. All the way around, Texas, the school, the state, we're giving everybody something to be proud of.

Once you come into Texas, you automatically get that feeling that you're striving for excellence. Once you put on that burnt orange, you're playing for your school.
dream nba opportunity playing since stay test waters
Playing in the NBA has always been a dream for me since I was a little kid. Right now, I have the opportunity to test the waters to see where I stand. If I'm comfortable with where I feel I'll be drafted, I'll stay in the draft. If not, I'll be back.
earn extremely given hungry knowing lost
I think we're an extremely hungry team, knowing we just lost and knowing that nothing is going to be given to us. We have to go out there and take everything and earn it all.
drives easier great job middle packing stopping
We weren't getting a lot of movement. A lot of things were stagnated. They did a great job of packing the middle and stopping a lot of the drives inside. Once we got it moving, it was a lot easier for us to get baskets.
tougher
We want an up-tempo game. When we go out and we're the aggressor, we're tougher to handle.
coming team time
This time of year, you want to put it all together. I like the way this team is coming together.
