Miller: "We're obviously thrilled to advance be a part of the Sweet 16. It just doesn't matter how many times you have been there or not. It's just a huge difference between being in that round and just entering the tournament."

Man am I glad I picked them to lose the first round! The way they closed the seasonIthought "Well better lcuk next year". So glad they pulled together some quality wins! 🤘

Miller on Heide coming in on the last possession: 

"I'll take credit for it. You know, the way I saw it was, you know, on the last possession of a game just to have that other guy out there who's capable, and in Cam's case, you can make the case. He's our best three-point shooter, and to not have him in there, you know, I just didn't think it made any sense.

"When it happens, it's almost too good to be true."

Miller on the run they're on right now: 

"I don't think we're we ever really want to sign up to be the Cinderella story, because we are the University of Texas and look, we represent the the SEC as well." 

Says you can redefine yourself as the season goes on.

Miller on the offensive execution: 

"There's nothing that we talk more about right now, than the value of of limiting turnovers, trying to play the game at single-digit turnovers. The other thing is we're not playing as fast right now, simply because we can't, that wouldn't be the smart move, based on the fact we've played three games, and just the way our team's made up so we're opportunistic in transition." 

Says the other number besides 5 turnovers is 20 assists. 

"You certainly have to feel good about your offense."

Miller on his growth as a coach: 

"I hope I am a better coach. I know this, that over time, learning from lessons good and bad, I think you always have the opportunity to evolve and grow. I think when you look at our team this year, Dailyn will tell you and Matas will tell you, we spent a lot of time talking about being able to learn from failure and grow."

Miller on Nic Codie: 

"He stepped up. I mean, Nick had a career high 12 points. I think playing 26 minutes might have been the most he's played in a long time, but he's gotten better. Again, back to my point: the season is long, it's filled with a lot of high moments and sometimes low moments. Nic went a long stretch where he didn't even play in the game, but he stayed with it he didn't give in when his opportunity came, he's gotten better, and better, and better."
