Not me agreeing with Bruce Pearl here

Mark Few says Texas has more than enough talent to win another game after this.

Mark Few: "Lot of credit to Texas. Our defense has been great all year and they stung us, especially in the second half."

That's all from Miller, Matas, and Swain.

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."

Miller says the 8-point deficit in the first half was a key stretch in the game. Says they made the decision to start feeding it to Matas more.

Matas says he doesn't care who he's playing against. "In my eyes I'm the best big guy in the country."

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: "I'm just glad I put Cam Heide in."
