Four inches. -
That's it for Sean Miller.
-
On how the Aggies were able to limit Matas, Miller said Rashaun Agee had a lot to do with it. "He was, in many ways, the difference in the game," Miller said.
-
Miller's biggest issue with the defense is how good Texas was on defense in the first half, compared to the lapses in the second half.
-
Miller said Texas couldn't get stops because there weren't five guys locked in at the same time when they needed to be for a full possession. "Until we're able to just do that better," he said, "we're leaving ourself very vulnerable."
-
Miller: "They beat us in the second half."
-
Miller: "I'll be shocked when I watched those first four minutes of the second half if I see a Texas team flying around... We were not that team."
-
After the first four minutes of the second half, Miller liked the effort. What Texas didn't do, however, was get the stops it needed to turn the tide.
-
Miller said there have been times this season where the bench has played well, but tonight wasn't one of those nights.
-
Miller: "We're looking for high performance. That's what it takes in the SEC. Our performance wasn't at that level today."
-
Miller, again, pointing out that it was too easy for A&M to get a few buckets in the second half. Texas wasn't able to replicate that eight-point run on the other end of the floor.
-
Miller said the team's miscues tonight are on him more so than any of the other games this season.
-
Miller said a decent amount of Rashaun Agee's 17 points came either on coverage breakdowns defensively or Agee getting second-chance points.
-
Miller: "We had a lot of things that we dealt with, especially in the second half, that aren't characteristic of our recent play. I thought we regressed a little bit."
-
Miller on the fouls committed on 3-point shooters: "I thought one time we almost did it on purpose. You just can't tackle the 3-point shooter."
-
Miller said it's on him that Texas gave the Aggies "four point-blank layups" in the second half. He just felt the defense didn't execute and didn't play with enough effort when A&M was having success finding open cutters.
-
Miller isn't happy with the fact that Texas only had three offensive rebounds in the second half.
-
Miller liked how Texas handled A&M's press with only eight turnovers. But he felt the Longhorns wore down.
-
A lack of bench production shouldn't prevent Texas from winning, Miller said. But he felt A&M's depth wore Texas down in the second half.
-
A&M dominated Texas in bench scoring, 20-6.
-
Miller felt Texas lost the game in the first four minutes of the second half. "We didn't come out ready to attack after halftime," he said.
-
The lesson Miller wants the team to learn from this is that they didn't understand the stakes based on the lack of juice coming out of halftime.
-
Miller said A&M "outclassed" Texas today and was "the better team in every way."
-
Sean Miller is next.
-
Pope said A&M deserves credit for the win, but he felt the Longhorns' wounds were, for the most part, self-inflicted. "We did it to ourselves," he said.
