    Terry said the staff expected Tre Johnson to immediately be one of the best players in the SEC and be everything he was cracked up to be coming out of high school. Terry said he's focused on helping Johnson grow every day, including learning to trust his teammates. "I think you saw a guy grow every single game," Terry said.

    Just like the Big 12, going through an SEC schedule prepared Texas for the NCAA Tournament. "Our team is battle-tested," Terry said. "Now, we've got to go out and do it when it counts most."

    Terry credits Greg Sankey and the SEC powers that be for gradually building men's basketball into the powerhouse it became this season. If you look at what teams in the SEC did outside of the conference, it puts into perspective how there were no nights off during conference play.

    In preparing for Xavier, Terry said they've used everything from tape study to analytics to get ready for an unknown opponent in such a short amount of time.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Terry: "This is a terrific basketball team we're competing against tomorrow."
  10. Jeff Howe
    Terry said Sean Miller has done a great job getting his team to play with great pace.

    Terry said Xavier is "maybe the fastest team we've played all year."
  12. Jeff Howe
    Texas has been "March basketball" since January, Terry said. "Every possession matters," Terry said.
  13. Jeff Howe
    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.
  14. Jeff Howe
    Terry: "We're super excited about being here. You never take it for granted, being in the tournament."
  15. Jeff Howe
    That's it for the players. Rodney Terry is at the podium.

    "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.
  17. Jeff Howe
    Johnson said the best thing about college basketball are the memories he's made off the court with his teammates.
  18. Jeff Howe
    Nothing too serious being asked of the players.

    Johnson on Shedrick: "He's young at spirit. He's just got an old number next to his name."
  20. Jeff Howe
    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.
  21. Jeff Howe
    Johnson called Shedrick "the main leader on the team." If he's leading, it's more by example than talking about it.

    Tre Johnson's favorite pregame song: "Peach of Mind" by Lauryn Hill
  23. Jeff Howe
    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."
  24. Jeff Howe
    Shedrick said he's happy to be back shooting free throws well and he's looking forward to keeping it going in the tournament.
  25. Jeff Howe
    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.
