People weren't afraid to go to Texas anymore.

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

It's just a winning school. You always equate Texas with winning and working hard. All the way around, Texas, the school, the state, we're giving everybody something to be proud of.

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

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 the night over there. You just crash and go home in the morning. I have a cover and pillows and everything.

I did a lot of other things besides scoring the basketball. I got my guys a lot of open looks. I played good defense. I think I had a good all around game, but I attribute a lot of my game to my teammates. The way they pushed me and motivated me to keep playing hard.
