• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The Longhorns were fired up last night, jumped out to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: an early lead on New Mexico State, never looked back,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: never had the game tied, never had really even threatened.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: They were up by twenty five of the half, led
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: by as many as I think thirty two ended up
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: winning it ninety one to sixty seven. So yeah, they
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: won by twenty four points. After the game, visited with
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: head coach Rodney Terry outside the locker room to talk
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: about his team's attention to detail and continue development.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Talk about pretty complete.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Did you see it as a pretty complete effort by
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: your guys?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what, We talked the last two days
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: about urgency and how how important it is for us
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: to develop urgency right now before we ebook on SEC play,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: because you have to. It's going to be really important
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: to play with urgency in the SEC. And I thought
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: they really met the challenge tonight. You know, this team
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: was coming off a good win over in the pitch.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Really hard to win in the bit if you you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: you know basketball over there, it's really hard those guys,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: but they played hard. They compete the Well Coast and
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: we knew we were going to get a good game
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: to night but I thought our guys really bounced back
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: really really good focus, and I thought we were better
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: in areas we need to get better tonight.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You know, it was mentioned to me and I mentioned
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to Tremont that it seemed like he was able to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: lose himself in the game and do well and seem
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: pretty comfortable tonight. Oh.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: We tell guys great to get lost playing really hard
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: on defense, and the thing we asked him to do
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: is try to play with the motor on defense and
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: then offense comes.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Easy to you.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: And I thought he got I thought he really got
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: off to the great star defense. They're trying to go
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: out one of the better players, really good shooter, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: we weren't switching at all to day. We're gonna stay
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: with our man, and I thought he was pretty locked
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: in on that end of the floor.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I see your Pimter guys making plays now passing the
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: ball that maybe they wouldn't make it early in years.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Seemed like you guys were sharing the ball and they're
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: really learning to play with each other, which is important.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I thought we really need to improve.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: In the last game, a prayer movement, ball movement.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: We had nineteen.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Assist a night, sharing the ball plenty five mentality, don't
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: play with the ball, get the ball out of your
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: hands and move the basketball. Cut with the purpose, cut hard.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: You know, again, we hadn't practiced as much as on
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: our office as much as we needed to, and we
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: made it a focal point the last couple of days
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: of work on those things. Specifically alone was still working
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: on our defense.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: We spent a lot of time on our defense.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: You also were able to get some bench guys some
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: extended minutes, Nick Cody, I thought Jamie Vincent gave you
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: some good minutes tonight, even DP Dvian Pryor gave you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: some minutes.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Valuable minutes for those young guys. All those minutes are
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: really really valuable for them. Every minutes valuable in every game,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: but especially for young guys that you're bringing alone and
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you're developing those guys. They have a full scale workout
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: in the morning's on game day. Uh and uh, you know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: if we're in a position to be able to play
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: them and give them opportunities, we want to be to
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: do that, and tonight we're fortunate to be able to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Weird time of year, isn't it the end of the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: academic semester and some people going through finals and all
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and then you get in that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: long spell where's just back basketball and not much else.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, what's it's one of those times of
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the year where guys can be physically physically fatigued, they
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: can be mentally fatigued. You know, we had a big
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: ball game because you've gone the other day and our
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: guys were still you know, a lot of academic work.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: It's a lot a lot on their plate right now
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: to close it out and everything. But we're here in
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the last week of it, and from that point on
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: it'll be pretty much just basketball. You know, they can
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: focus and try to be guys that really lock in
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: to to what we're trying to get done, both offensively
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: and defensively.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: All right, appreciate the time, Artie, Congrats on the wind.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Thanks true. All right.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, in this somewhat odd time of year, the Longhorns,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you know, took care of business last night. I think
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: when they'll play Arkansas Pine Bluff on Sunday afternoon at
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Moody probably will handle their business then and then they're
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: off for a few days till after Christmas. Well, actually,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: they have one more home game there and that'll follow afterwards.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And then after New Orleans.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, against New Orleans on Thursday of the nineteenth And
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: by the way, a very underrated logo the Privateers. Yeah, underrated.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I think, why do you think that that's underrated? I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: just I mean, I don't think people reminded me of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yeah, I just don't think a lot
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of people know that Nola has a university. But I think,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a cool you know, it's a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: cool logo. They do have a university, it's called Tulane,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: but they also Yeah, I don't think a lot of
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: people know that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: You're right, Yeah, you And.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: When I went down to New Orleans to broadcast the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Final Four in two thousand and three, Texas of course
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: went to the Final Four that year and both men's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and women's basketball, and the men were playing in New
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Orleans at the Superdome.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: We got down there a couple of days early, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Mike Perle, who was our basketball engineer at the Mike.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And I.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Think went to see We went to the Lakefront Arena,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: which is UNO's home arena.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: The basketball team.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: They don't play where don't play the Smoothi King Arena.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: They don't play at the Smoothie King Arena. They do
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: not play in the NBA area. They play on and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: on campus FA. So it's a nice building. We went
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to see a concert. We went to see Bardaked Ladies
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: play there before things got real business. It was good
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that had a good time there before they played. So anyway,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that was there and then back then all right, coming
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: up an interesting different take on Bowl games because I
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people think, gosh, there's so many
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Bowl games and I don't care to watch, and I
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: have my own opinion about that, which I'll get to,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: but there's another opinion on it that you need to hear.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that when we continue on Sports Radio
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: AM thirteen under the zone of the iHeartRadio app.
