OTF Premium Men's Hoops: Sean Miller's press conference ahead of taking on Florida

[Jeff Howe]

Miller: "If we can be the best version of what we can be defensively, I think we've got some great moments in us over the next few weeks."

[Jeff Howe]

When Florida is shooting it well from the 3-point line, Miller said, "it puts them into a position to be the best team in the country" because of everything else the Gators do well.

[Jeff Howe]

Miller: "You have to have a great night taking care of the ball" to have a chance against Florida.

Texas can't give Florida easy buckets off turnovers.

[Jeff Howe]

Miller: "It'll be interesting to see how our offense is able to score on them."

Florida is currently No. 4 in adjusted defensive efficiency, according to KenPom.

[Jeff Howe]

One of the things that makes the SEC so tough, Miller said, is that everyone is playing for something every night, whether it's the conference championship, NCAA Tournament seeding, trying to get off the bubble, etc.

[Jeff Howe]

"They're blowing teams out," Miller said of Florida. "We don't want to be one of them."

[Jeff Howe]

Miller: "We've grown and improved a lot over the last two months."

He said he doesn't know that he's coached a team that's improved in the ways this team has in the last few weeks/months.

[Jeff Howe]

That's it for Sean Miller.

Again, it's a 6 p.m. start tomorrow for Texas and Florida at Moody Center.

This is why the Georgia game was so important. I just do not see us competing with the Gators.

Regarding the Traore injury and how it impacts front-court depth, Miller said the Longhorns have to make their eight-man rotation work.

"We are who we are at this point," he said.

Codie gotta stap it up and take on the challenge. Be a star in his role and focus on what he does well and try to add that everytime on the floor. If he gave half of the effort Khendall Weaver gave, Texas would have 3 more wins.

[Gerry Hamilton]

If Texas keeps it within 12-14, it's a solid effort. 

Best defensive big I have seen in a while ... as an all-around big man defender. Reuben C. Will play years in the NBA as a role player off the bench. 

Hough is a borderline lottery pick

Condon is a NBA two-way contract type.

92-76'ish is my bet
