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

Coming off a 91-80 road loss to Georgia on Saturday, Texas returns to action against No. 7 Florida at Moody Center on Wednesday (6 p.m., ESPN2).

Sean Miller is holding a media availability today to discuss the loss to the Bulldogs, tomorrow’s game against the Gators and the state of affairs as the Longhorns look to improve their standing for an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. As of Monday, Texas (17-10, 8-6 SEC) remained on the right side of the bubble, with the Longhorns one of 11 SEC clubs projected to be in the field of 68, according to ESPN's Joe Lunardi.

While the loss to Georgia snapped a five-game winning streak, Texas will attempt to get back on track against arguably its toughest stretch of games this season. After facing Florida (21-6, 12-2), the Longhorns travel to Texas A&M (19-8, 9-5) on Saturday (3 p.m., ESPN2), looking to avoid a season sweep at the hands of the Aggies, who won a 74-70 decision in Austin on Jan. 17.

The Longhorns will then take on No. 20 Arkansas (20-7, 10-4) in Fayetteville on Wednesday, March 4, before wrapping up the regular season schedule at home against Oklahoma (13-14, 3-11) on Saturday, March 7.

    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.

    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.

    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
