Sean Miller's take was that Texas wasn't sharp, and he didn't like that there weren't enough defensive stops and too many point-blank misses for his liking, but they got the win, and he'll take it.

Swain said Miller was telling guys to look for Heide because he was getting open and had good looks.

Heide: "I need to do more than catch and shoot... It creates more opportunities for me, but also for other guys on the team."

Heide said there was a point in the first half when Miller told the team to stop taking threes and make more of an effort to get to the basket.

Heide said Texas will be tougher to guard if he can make shots because of how good Swain and Tramon Mark are at scoring around the rim and in the mid-range.

Heide: "I need to be someone who can knock down shots."

Dailyn Swain credited the crowd for giving the team some juice in the second half.

Cam Heide said the team is still trying to focus on being better in the last four minutes of the first half and the first four minutes of the second half.

We're waiting on Sean Miller and the Texas players to get to the interview room after an 84-75 win over South Carolina. It wasn't pretty, but it was a win.

That's where he wants to play and Schloss feels he's earned the right to be the guy.

I liked what I saw from Sam Cozart. He struck out Carson Tinney with a nasty breaking ball.

Here's the direct link to Hall's junior highlights: http://www.hudl.com/v/2T9xWf

Mansfield Summit EDGE Cameron Hall became the fourth prospect to join the 2027 Texas recruiting class when he committed to the Longhorns on Wednesday. The 6-foot-3-inch. 235-pound Hall is the first high school defensive prospect to commit to Texas since Steve Sarkisian hired Will Muschamp as the program’s defensive coordinator in December. Hall picked the Longhorns over recent offers from Arkansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Stanford and Wisconsin. He included Texas among his top 12 schools on Nov. 27, a group that included Arizona State, Baylor, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, SMU, TCU, Texas A&M and Texas Tech. After recording 40 tackles, six tackles for loss, four sacks and two forced fumbles as a sophomore, Hall racked up 46 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and 10 sacks as a junior. He was named District 3-5A DII Defensive Player of the Year, an award voted on by the district's head coaches. Hall joins tight end JT Geraci (Ramsey, N.J./Don Bosco Prep), Manvel cornerback Karnell “Greedy” James and wide receiver Easton Royal (New Orleans, La./Brother Martin) in the 2027 recruiting class.

I’ve got some videos to post. For now, I’m going to try and get home before the weather gets worse.

That's it for Sean Miller. Texas is back in action on Wednesday (6 p.m., ESPN2) against Auburn.

Miller: "Our defense fueled our offense and picked up the tempo."

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."
