Do we need a PORTAL Thread started?

The goal is to win the game.

Thanks for the coverage.

Great. I don't want to play in that SEC championship.

Dang. The pain has to be unbearable. He's becoming a Longhorn Legend.

It's nice to have outside shooters for a change.

A bicep strain is a tear in the bicep muscle. Thank God he wasn't out for the year with a torn bicep tendon. I tore mine, and I had to have surgery and was laid up for about 6 weeks.

That's for the press conference. On to Baylor on Sunday.

I will debate with anyone this is a good move for the sport. The more I think about it, the more I like it.

Punch and Matas "are a great combination," Miller said. "I think they're grateful that the other one is their teammate." Punch likes not having to play the 5 all the time and Matas likes having someone who can absorb contact and dish it out.

Baylor has been "ferocious on the glass" under Scott Drew, Miller said. Rebounding is a key stat to track Sunday, along with minimizing turnovers.

This X1000 ... 74% vs 66% is the difference in 3-5 losses this season

It was good to get John Clark in the game. "He's spent a lot of time working," Miller said. "He's still getting the rust off... John's gift to our team is rebounding... He's an important part of our future and it was good to see him out there."

Miller doesn't want to jinx Matas' improvement in controlling his fouls, but he's improved by playing in the same place for the same staff two years in a row. "No one ever will question his love for the game and his work ethic," Miller said.

Horrible finish... doesn't matter long term, but it was turrible

We got stuck at 88 points for almost 4-5 minutes.

Isaiah Johnson and Austin Goosby combined for six assists and one turnover. Miller liked how they found guys and played clean basketball. "They did a great job setting the tone," Miller said. "I thought they played well."

Miller said Bo Ogden, "can really shoot the basketball, too." Sterling, Ogden and Mikey Lewis are guys Texas will count on to make shots at a high clip.

"He's been really consistent shooting the ball," Miller said. Sterling is a 6-foot-4 guard with a quick release who can shoot it off the catch or the bounce.

Miller said Joe Sterling is "as good a shooter as I've been around."

Miller has a lot of respect for Scott Drew and the Baylor program. Sunday's game is a test, but it's a test because the Longhorns are playing an NCAA Tournament-caliber team. "The object isn't to learn now," he said. "It's to win and learn."

On free-throw shooting (27-for-42 tonight): "We have a free-throw program that we believe in. We do it so guys have a process that they can call on now that we're in real games... We left a lot of points on the table at halftime... What percentage we shoot from the free-throw line will be a big indicator of our offensive success."

I thought it might destroy the good cross-conference games, given all the time needed for the playoffs. 🤘

Sean Miller wasn't happy with the last eight minutes of the game. "We let down," he said.
