I'll have his full opening statement up as soon as I can after the press conference ends.

Mark on why he's at his best in SEC play: "I just love the competition. It's the best league in college basketball. I love the competition and I love winning."

"The more we can do that, the more games we'll win." — Mark on how continuing to pressure the ball and be aggressive on defense will lead to the Longhorns playing their best basketball

Swain said the Longhorns must do the same thing they did after the Alabama game: enjoy it, but turn the page quickly and get ready for a good Texas A&M team coming into Moody Center on Saturday.

Mark on what the win says about this Texas team: "Don't give up on us."

The team practices hard, Mark said. They need to do a better job of carrying it over from practice to the games.

Mark felt like Texas made an effort to run Vanderbilt off the 3-point line in the second half. Swain said Mark challenged him to not allow any easy baskets in the second half and not let Tyler Nickel get any clean looks at the rim.

Matas, Dailyn Swain and Tramon Mark are meeting with the media in the press conference.

Rename it Kyle Flood

This year on Kyle Field!!

Porter Earl.

We're waiting on Sean Miller and the Texas players.

Byington: "SEC games feel like this. It's difficult on both ends... I thought we could dig in there a little bit and put pressure on them, but they made the plays the last eight minutes of the game."

Byington said Matas is on his way to becoming a really good player. Matas had a game-high 22 points (7-9 FG, 8-9 FT) along with seven rebounds.

What is your favorite stat or random bit of info. Here are my top 3 1 - My oldest kid is 11.5 and he has not lived in a world where ATM has beaten the horns 2 - We have one NFL coach alum/player in Kyle Shanny (mostly since he didn't play much so people forget he is a former player and not a Mike Mcdaniel type...and his dad being the door to the NFL) 3 - And lastly, that our 2020 QB room housed 4 (.5ish) collegiate starters: Ehlinger being a multi year starter Casey Thompson starts for us and then transfers to half the colleges in the county to play Hudson Card starts at Purdue Jaquinden Jackson starts at RB for Utah and then Arky And the .5 would be when Rochon moves from QB to RB this year and although technically is part of a 2 headed monster RB tandem, I will allow him the partial

Byington on Texas: "They've had moments where they've played like this."

Byington said Texas forced Vanderbilt to settle for a lot of mid-range shots and the Commodores didn't make them.

I bet they were very quiet about that loss, too! 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

To Byington's point, the Commodores were 8-for-30 from the field in the second half, including 1-for-10 on 3-pointers.

Is this fake?

Byington said Texas didn't do anything different defensively in the second half. Vanderbilt just missed shots, he said.

"We were there, we played good defense, he just made the shot," Byington said of Tramon Mark, who scored 21 points on 6-for-12 shooting, including 4-for-7 from beyond the arc.

Texas led No. 10 Vanderbilt for almost 35 minutes in Wednesday's 80-64 upset of the previously-undefeated Commodores at Moody Center. The Longhorns took a 42-37 lead into halftime and, along with Tramon Mark scoring 16 of his 21 points in the second half, Matas Vokietaitis spearheaded a 13-for-16 effort from the foul line to help Texas (11-6, 2-2 SEC) open things up in the second half en route to its second consecutive ranked win. The Longhorns built on Saturday's 92-88 road win over then-No. 13 Alabama with a hellacious defensive effort in the second half. Vanderbilt (16-1, 3-1) went 8-for-30 from the field after halftime, including a 1-for-10 performance from beyond the arc.

I’m not so sure Sark should ask for anymore Michigan for visits. We should call it the “Michigan Rope-A-Dope.”
