  1. Xavier's Ryan Conwell played with Jayson Kent and Julian Larry at Indiana State. Terry said they've got to do "a great job by committee" to try and slow him down (Conwell averages 16.8 points per game).
  2. Putting the ball in Mark's hands has allowed Jordan Pope to move off the ball and be more of a shooter than a facilitator, which is where he's more effective.
  3. Terry reiterating that they wanted to play Tramon Mark more at the point this season, but they couldn't do it like they wanted until Chendall Weaver came back.
  4. Terry said it takes trying to impose your will on an opponent and playing with a great sense of urgency to win in the NCAA Tournament. That's how Texas needs to attack tomorrow's game.
  5. Terry: "This is a terrific basketball team we're competing against tomorrow."
  6. Terry said Sean Miller has done a great job getting his team to play with great pace.
  7. Terry said Xavier is "maybe the fastest team we've played all year."
  8. Texas has been "March basketball" since January, Terry said. "Every possession matters," Terry said.
  9. Terry is talking about a great setting Dayton is for college basketball. He's encouraging the Dayton fans to show up and root against Xavier tomorrow night.
  10. Terry: "We're super excited about being here. You never take it for granted, being in the tournament."
  11. That's it for the players. Rodney Terry is at the podium.
  12. "I didn't know how hard you have to play to win in the college game," Johnson said when asked about the biggest adjustment he's had to make as a freshman.
  13. Johnson said the best thing about college basketball are the memories he's made off the court with his teammates.
  14. Nothing too serious being asked of the players.
  15. Johnson on Shedrick: "He's young at spirit. He's just got an old number next to his name."
  16. Shedrick and Johnson are roommates. They've got a good bond and the fact that one is a freshman and one is a graduate hasn't been an issue.
  17. Johnson called Shedrick "the main leader on the team." If he's leading, it's more by example than talking about it.
  18. Tre Johnson's favorite pregame song: "Peach of Mind" by Lauryn Hill
  19. Shedrick on the positive impact of playing so many close games: "Things can get really stressful in those moments, but now that we've had those experiences, hopefully, they can help push us across the finish line."
  20. Shedrick said he's happy to be back shooting free throws well and he's looking forward to keeping it going in the tournament.
  21. Johnson: "Before we try to play for the coaches or anything, we need to do it for our teammates." He said if the Longhorns take that approach, everything else will take care of itself.
  22. On what the NCAA Tournament means for Rodney Terry and wanting to win for him, Shedrick said they want to do it for each other and their coaches. "Everybody eats is how we want to try and play," he said. "We just want to get it done for the guy next to us."
  23. Shedrick said Tre Johnson is "one of the most confident players I've ever been around."
  24. Johnson's favorite March Madness moment is Kris Jenkins hitting the game-winning shot in Villanova's win over North Carolina in the national championship game.
  25. Even when he's not on, Johnson knows he can't pass up open shots. When his shot isn't falling, Johnson said he looks to rebound more, get his teammates more involved on offense and do other things to impact winning that don't involve scoring.
