Now that I’m playing more on the wing, I’m getting to show more stuff than when I was at the point last season. I’ve worked really hard to add to my game.

We used those losses as motivation to go out and perform, show the team we’re capable of being.

People weren’t afraid to go to Texas anymore.

I think we’re an extremely hungry team, knowing we just lost and knowing that nothing is going to be given to us. We have to go out there and take everything and earn it all.

It felt like we were able to rewind some things and get back to the basketball we’re accustomed to playing.

It was scary at the moment, but our guys understand that we are capable of anything with any of our players on the court. It gave other guys a chance to step up into big...

When he’s out there knocking down shots, we feed off him.

Once you come into Texas, you automatically get that feeling that you’re striving for excellence. Once you put on that burnt orange, you’re playing for your school.

We weren’t getting a lot of movement. A lot of things were stagnated.

It was a real roller coaster, and I wouldn’t have predicted how we got here at the beginning of the year with those back-to-back losses [to Duke and Tennessee], but we’ve been a confident group.

I came in feeling good. I wasn’t going to worry about getting hit. I got hit a couple times, I got an elbow to the head.

I think he’s the leading scorer in the conference. It would definitely be a good challenge for me. I’m always looking to take on challenges and he’s a great player.

We’re a confident group of guys. We definitely think that we can go all the way.

The demands on my time are extreme, because of the traveling to the different offices and managing them. The hiring of excellent professionals and support staff is the highest priority. And we really have focused...

We needed those guys to step up for us. And they did. Mike was involved from the beginning and A.J. stepped up for me when I was struggling tonight. It’s great when you get that...

We weren’t getting any movement. They do a good job packing the middle and stopping things inside. Once we got moving, it was a lot easier to get baskets.

If we don’t get it right now, we’ll be at home watching on TV. Nobody wants to do that.

We are going to play the way we have been. We won?t change anything to begin with.

Once you put on that burnt orange, you’re a part of that Texas tradition. It’s a tradition of excellence.

He’s not afraid to take those kind of shots. I think he should take them more often.

I have to give them a lot of credit. Every time we made a run, they kept answering.

We are rolling. It feels good.

They’re extremely athletic. I think we’ll prepare for them and be ready to play.

The standards we’ve set allow (Durant) and big-time recruits to want to be a part of the tradition. We’re definitely a program on the rise.

March is a guards’ time of year. If you have that extra level, you go there.

A lot of people have been talking about how they have the best backcourt, but we think we have one of the best.

We’re a team with great confidence and swagger. I know that we’ve lost a game, but we’ve got guys on this team that’s going to take on that challenge knowing that we’ve lost and come...

I remember the first time he stepped into the gym, a freshman with this far-away look on his face. During practice he stopped and asked me questions like, ‘What am I supposed to do on...

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.

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.

Everybody is drawn to him everywhere he goes. Everybody loves the guy. I’m pretty sure either after the game or before, I’ll get a funny text message from him. That’s just the kind of guy...

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...

Losing in the first round last year was definitely a motivating factor. This year I didn’t want it to happen again.

I can’t say enough about K.P. In any situation, he never flinches. He’s a veteran. He’s been through it. He just gives us experience and confidence.

Twenty-four hour access to a gym was a big thing for me. When other people might go out and party, I like to go to the gym. There’s a lot of times I might spend...

This time of year, you want to put it all together. I like the way this team is coming together.

My pops always told me never make excuses. A lot of times when that ball goes up, all that pain goes out the window.

It’s about how you bounce back. You can’t let the losses dictate the games to come.

They are a different team than what we’ve faced. They are extremely athletic.

It feels good to hold that trophy.

This time of year you can’t hold anything back. These are the type of games you live for.

We’re playing with a lot of emotion. Everybody’s feeding off each other right now. We feel like we’re rolling.

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.

I’m the kind of player, if I’m 1 for 55, I always think 56 is going in. I never lose my confidence.

It’s a rivalry game. We expected their best shot.

But we never flinched. They’d make a big shot, we’d come back and make a play.

Once you come to Texas, you automatically get that feeling that you’re striving for excellence.

I’ll give him credit. He knocked down a big-time shot.

More like 125. He’s shrinking.

It’s definitely a possibility. But our focus is on our next game.
