  1. So much for the good start. Rerick hits Detlefsen to load the bases with no outs.
  2. Rerick's first pitch to left fielder Drew Detlefsen is a strike, so that's a good thing.
  3. A solo home run and two walks were issued to the first three batters Rerick faces tonight.
  4. A walk and a wild pitch charged to Rerick put a runner on second with no outs. Rough start for the freshman.
  5. In other news, No. 1 Tennessee trails East Tennessee State in the bottom of the seventh, 4-3.
  6. The Longhorns are already down to the Roadrunners, 1-0. First baseman Caden Miller led off the game with a home run off Drew Rerick.
  7. That's it for Rodney Terry and for the press conference.
  8. He also said the SEC Tournament win over Vanderbilt stands out.
  9. Terry felt like the win at Mississippi State is the most complete game Texas has played this season.
  10. Terry said the best thing about this team is their chemistry. "These guys like each other," he said.
  11. Terry joked that Johnson should've been at the foul line at the end of the road loss to Arkansas with a chance to win it, "but we'll let that go," he said.
  12. Terry said one of the things that Johnson has embraced is having the ball in his hands in clutch situations.
  13. This is in reference to Terry being asked if there's a balance between coaching Johnson to be a good college player and getting him ready for the NBA.
  14. You try to have a great relationship with one-and-done guys so that you can coach them, Terry said. Johnson wanted to be coached to be one of the best players in the country, which meant the coaches had to coach him harder than a freshman. Johnson has room to grow, but he's "matured in a number of different ways."
  15. Terry: "Much respect for what Coach Vic has done at the University of Texas and we're pulling for them to win the whole thing."
  16. "They have an opportunity to cut the nets down," Terry said. "Madison Booker — she could come play for us."
  17. Terry said Vic Schaefer "is first class in everything he does" as he's asked about the success of the women's team.
  18. Terry said Sean Miller "has been a great coach for a number of years... His teams are very well-coached. They don't beat themselves. They always play together."
  19. On the 2011 Arizona loss when Terry was a Texas assistant under Rick Barnes, Terry said he's never given Sean Miller grief over the Longhorns coming out on the short end of a five-second call. "Before we could get to the locker room, Coach Barnes wanted a computer to make sure it was the right call," Terry said.
  20. Terry on Johnson: "He lived up to the billing."
  21. Terry: "Tre Johnson has always played the game to win... He's going to make the simple play. He's not a hog. He's not a pig. He's going to pass the ball. When it's his time to take shots, he's going to take shots."
  22. Terry said the staff expected Tre Johnson to immediately be one of the best players in the SEC and be everything he was cracked up to be coming out of high school. Terry said he's focused on helping Johnson grow every day, including learning to trust his teammates. "I think you saw a guy grow every single game," Terry said.
  23. Just like the Big 12, going through an SEC schedule prepared Texas for the NCAA Tournament. "Our team is battle-tested," Terry said. "Now, we've got to go out and do it when it counts most."
  24. Terry credits Greg Sankey and the SEC powers that be for gradually building men's basketball into the powerhouse it became this season. If you look at what teams in the SEC did outside of the conference, it puts into perspective how there were no nights off during conference play.
  25. In preparing for Xavier, Terry said they've used everything from tape study to analytics to get ready for an unknown opponent in such a short amount of time.
