Lassina Traore (knee) is getting closer to coming back, but Miller said they're not going rush him back. They want to be certain that he's going to be good to go before he returns.

Miller was asked if a win over Florida should guarantee Texas a spot in the NCAA Tournament. He chuckled before saying yes.

"It's tough to get second shots" against Florida, Miller said. Second-chance opportunities and points, Miller said, will be a major factor in who wins the game tomorrow.

Miller said Florida, like Tennessee, is one of the best rebounding teams in the country. One of the keys to this game, he said, is playing it with 10 or fewer turnovers because the Gators won't give up much on the boards.

Miller said he's "looking forward to the future to making some changes here" when it comes to Texas playing better defense.

Miller said it's disappointing that this is one of the worst defensive teams he's ever coached because this is one of the best offensive teams he's ever coached (based on efficiency rankings/ratings).

Miller: "When you get this deep in the year, we're only going to go as far as our defense will take us. Our guys know that."

He knows the team can play well defensively at times. Now, Miller said, it's about doing it consistently.

Teams that aren't great defensively can improve, Miller said. There were segments in the games leading up to the Georgia game where he felt the team played as well defensively as they were capable of playing.

Miller again states his belief that Swain means more to his team than any other player in the SEC.

Miller on Swain: "It's really a three-year, four-year process that we've watched." He said being in the same system/program for multiple years has really helped Swain's development.

Miller said Swain has embodied everything a coach could want in a player as he's worked to develop his body, mind and game.

Miller points out that Swain is a year younger than everyone else in his class. That's part of why he's such an intriguing draft prospect.

"Dailyn is a throwback story, in every sense of the way," Miller said, referring to the fact that they recruited him early in high school and still have him. "You could always see his talent."

Miller knows it's tough to make it to a 6 p.m. tip in Austin, but he's asking the fans to be in their seats as early as possible tomorrow.

"We know we have our hands full tomorrow," Miller said. "We have to be at our very, very best."

Miller said there's a lot to learn about how Florida has assembled and developed a roster in the transfer portal/NIL era.

"Any time you host the national champion from a year ago," Sean Miller said of facing Florida, it has a special meaning.

Tankathon's latest mock draft, which was updated on Sunday, had Swain going to the Dallas Mavericks with the last pick of the first round, No. 30 overall. The most recent NBADraft.net mock for 2026, last updated on Feb. 11, had Swain going to the Sacramento Kings with the first pick of the second round, No. 31 overall.

A young man letting his disdain for @Joe Zura fuel his offseason training.
