One minute he's not talking, and another minute, he's all giddy. It's hard to explain, but P.J.'s a different dude before games. I could tell he would be ready. |
People weren't afraid to go to Texas anymore. |
Playing in the NBA has always been a dream for me since I was a little kid. Right now, I have the opportunity to test the waters to see where I stand. If I'm comfortable with where I feel I'll be drafted, I'll stay in the draft. If not, I'll be back. |
Sixteen and oh is definitely a possibility. But our focus is on the next game. We've picked up our intensity on the defensive end. |
That's the benefit of losing some close games and learning from those. Now, when you're placed in those situations again, you take advantage of those opportunities. |
That's what we worked for the entire year. That's your aim: being able to get a good seed and play in front of your home crowd. |

The standards we've set allows guys like Kevin to know we're a program on the rise. We had one of the best seasons in Texas basketball history, and we want to carry on the legacy. |
The way we bounce back, I think we're capable of learning from a loss. We've had a great season. |
There were times I wasn't aggressive enough in driving the ball. There were times I settled for jump shots. |
They are a different team than what we've faced. They are extremely athletic. |
They pass up good shots to get great shots. You have to be ready to play defense for the entire shot clock. |
They were trying to trap us, make us throw bad passes and hurry us up. We've figured out what we're going to do. |
