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.
-
"You never want to be on the losing side of a rivalry," Pope said.
-
Pope said defense was the issue in the second half. "I know we'll fix it and we'll be ready to go against Kentucky," he said.
-
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.
