Miller said the Texas defensive issues can be summed up as such: It's like a parent telling your kid over and over not to cross the street. When the kid crosses the street and gets hit by a bus, you take responsibility as the parent, "but dammit," he said, "how many times did I tell you not to cross the street?

"We've got some of that going on," he said.

Divided locker room?

    Texas had a seven-point lead with 2:17 remaining in regulation, but it didn't last. Mississippi State ended the second half on a 7-0 run, Jordan Pope's shot in the closing seconds didn't fall. Th

    Some hard truths from Sean Miller: — He didn't feel like his team was the tougher, hungrier team and led to losing the battle for loose balls. Texas went smaller because they needed offense, but

    Miller on whether or not he'll submit any calls to the SEC for clarification: "I'm not that guy. I don't do that." With that said, he admitted that Swain's fifth foul was "a tough call."

Love how unfiltered Miller is, he is the most frustrated man on the court and you can tell

Mark, who missed a couple of critical free throws down the stretch, about what happened at the foul line: "I've just gotta make 'em."

He looked uncomfortable on the ones he made.

I think Sean Miller is a really good basketball coach. I don't think folks should give up on him by any stretch.

With that said, it's going to be a struggle to get to .500 in SEC play at this rate, making for a tough year. I want to see the guys like Swain, Matas and Wilcher make strides heading into next year.

Thank you he does nothing. Codie does nothing. Why in the world was Heide out there over Wilcher?

At this point, I'd rather see Duru gain some experience than what Texas has been rolling out.

Heide took (and missed) one shot in 18 minutes of scoreless basketball. He was minus-10 in the +/- tonight.

Codie got a DNP.

I think he's tired of guys who either aren't capable or aren't willing to do what's asked of them.

I am totally prepared for him to bench some players, no matter how bad the losses get. He has to establish a culture. Sit if you won’t do what I want you to do.

Codie sure smiles a lot for a guy that will be hitting the portal.

Heide wasn't scoreless. He did make that bucket on the other end.

Priceless 

Wilcher has to step it up. He's the only other viable option, as a ball handler, and scorer. This allows you to bump down Tramon Mark and he can be more of a slasher and attacker off the catch... or iso in rotation. Coach Miller has 4 guys that should really be able to cook... but they're tryna gain chemistry on the fly. There is absolutely nothing on the bench worth talking about. Maybe Deru.. and Weaver, of course. But there's no dynamic freshman to speak of. Can't wait to see if we can land one of those it players.

They put Heide on over Wilcher at the end. Heide literally scored two points for the other team!

Swain hopes Mark's missed foul shots don't linger. He said the free throws he missed in Maui against Arizona State bothered him for a while.

Gotta get an arc on that damn free throw... He shoots the 3 the same way... no confidence. If he can't drive... or post, it's like he can't score.

Has a hitch in his shot. Free throws are line drives.

Inconsistent backcourt play is killing us. It's not only inconsistent from game to game, but within the game itself. These are fifth and sixth year guys that are supposed to be making good decisions and showing the other guys. Better get a true, leading point guard for next year.

Don’t cross the street? 😳

Not a smart team. Not even a team that plays hard. Miller has been saying this for a while. Ultimately, it's on him. He recruited the roster. We'll see what he can do with them over the next few months. Again, he better get a point guard for next season that can be a real floor general.
