Pope is confident that Texas can and will rebound from this loss. -
Mark said that because the next game is at Kentucky, Texas can't afford to waste days. "We need to have a short memory," he said.
-
Pope said the Longhorns need to attack the next few days the way they did after the Tennessee loss. "As a point guard, I've got to do a better job of getting my guys ready," he said.
-
Mark felt Texas got the shots it wanted. "We can't ask for better looks than what we got," he said. "We've just got to make them."
-
The theme for Mark and Pope was how sloppy Texas was throughout the game, especially coming out of halftime.
-
Jordan Pope and Tramon Mark both said Texas came out sloppy to start the second half, for whatever reason, and the Longhorns never recovered.
-
McMillian is done. Sean Miller and the Texas players are next.
-
McMillan said they wanted to make everything hard on Matas today and be physical with him. Matas finished with 14 points, but he had to go 8-for-12 at the foul line to score in double figures.
-
Granted, you have to account for the gap in the series, but the Aggies hadn't won in Austin since 2002 before today.
-
A&M ended the game shooting 50.9 percent from the field (27-for-53), including an 8-for-20 day from beyond the arc.
-
McMillan described his offense as a flow offense that isn't scripted when asked how the Aggies were able to attack Texas with backdoor cuts on several second-half possessions. It wasn't anything opponent-specific, he said, adding that the Aggies ran their offense and didn't let poor shooting in the first half discourage them from doing what they do.
-
McMillon said the Aggies might not have the front-line talent of some of the other SEC teams, but he believes they're legitimately 10-12 guys deep.
-
McMillan: "Jamie Vinson was awesome." The former Longhorn had four points in six minutes today.
-
Texas A&M coach Bucky McMillan opens up the postgame press conference complementing Texas for being a good team. He felt it was anybody's game, but he felt the Aggies simply made shots in the second half after a great first half defensively.
-
Miller said tonight was the best statistical defensive night Texas has had this season. "For us to hold them to 64... If we look at ourselves in the mirror, that was the best effort we've had against a really good offensive team."
-
Miller felt like both teams eventually wore down because the pace was so fast early.
-
Miller said Tramon Mark's experiences have earned him the right to have a voice in the locker room. The team really respects him, Miller said.
-
Chendall Weaver "embodies a winning player," Miller said.
-
As good as Matas was tonight, his ability to run the floor and make plays in transition really stick out to Miller. "Matas is becoming a better player," he said. "He's improving."
-
Learning from failure and learning from missed opportunities has been a big part of this team's journey early on, Miller said. Through that growth, he said, Texas is a better team than it was early in the season.
-
Miller: "We're a better team. We're far from perfect, we can do things better and we'd better keep moving in that direction."
