Miller: "It's not comfortable when you're losing and playing hard... You can lose confidence when you lose the game. When you win a game... Learn from it, grow from it... Our next opportunity is at Auburn... Going into that game with some confidence is really good for our team."
Coming back from Kentucky, Miller said the team has a had a couple of good days and prepared hard to win this game. That's what led to the disappointment at halftime.
Miller said halftime was a moment of truth for this team's season. He credited Mark, Swain and Matas (Miller let the cat out of the bag that Matas was the key starter who was under the weather) for leading the second-half charge.
Texas was down by seven at halftime. Swain said Miller challenged the team, telling them, "You can fold now if you want. But we've got a long season. If you've got some dog in you, you'll fight."
Swain said Sean Miller motivated the team by showing them a horse race. The point, Swain said, was to just keep running the race. It doesn't matter how you start, just keep running the race and see where you stand when it's over.
