Snoop, for any of you guys, did it finally hit you get one of those for two years it seems like, but it the season was going to be over if you didn't get- finally went down and that energized you guys goin'? followed by the back-to-back threes. Did you feel KERWIN ROACH: Definitely. Coach said in the locker that that stretch right there? Could you feel the room this could be our last 20 minutes, and I think momentum get goin' in y'all's favor? when he said that, everyone switched a flip and it was KERWIN ROACH: Definitely. It was part of it. My like this is gar and bar. We have got to play for our bench got into it. I was feeling it for my bench. I just let fans. Probably going to be that last game, so go out my hair down after all that. I just let it loose. there and play for them.

Q. Andrew, could you address specifically the wild ANDREW JONES: We were not trying to go home. scramble play. I think Kerwin -- I mean Kendal We knew in previous games that we could get Tech.

Rev #1 by #189 at 2017-03-09 04:50:00 GMT page 1 of 2 We didn't play our best at their place; and we just, you You know, maybe it was the reality that, you know, this know, at halftime we all dug in and started playing would have been our last game if we didn't really battle harder. One more degree and we started playing for and let loose. I thought the play that you mentioned each other. where we played with great aggressiveness, dove on the floor. That was a huge difference maker and that's THE MODERATOR: Okay, guys. We'll let you go back the way we gotta play. That's the way I want our team to the locker room. Congratulations. Good luck to play all the time and obviously we have a long way to tomorrow. Questions for Coach? go to get to that point. Plays like that were the difference. Q. Coach, just thoughts about playing West ? You guys exerted a lot of energy tonight. Q. Was there a concerted effort on your guys part They will take more out of you. What are your to go inside? Coming out off halftime? thoughts about playing West Virginia? SHAKA SMART: Yes, you know in the first half of the SHAKA SMART: Excited. Excited about the 13 threes, a lot of them were good looks. Eric got opportunity to play 'em. One of the two teams that stone cold wide-open looks in the first two possessions played just now was going to get the chance to play of the game. But if they're not going, they're not going, them and one of them was going to go home. So we'll and you've got to figure something else out. They definitely take the opportunity to play them. made a good adjustment at their place on Jarrett. Instead of letting the ball come in directly they fronted We played them in two games. One at our place, one and fought the ball in. So we felt like we could lob it at their place. I thought we had some stretches where over the top to him a few times, and we did that. we really played well. They keep coming at you in waves. They've got a toughness about them. That Today it wasn't his best scoring day, but I thought it was obviously comes from Coach Huggins and his staff and impactful that we were able to play through him for a the players they recruit, and I think for us it's about stretch in the second half, and it opened it up for other turning the page quickly from this game, and as Snoop guys and he also made his free throws. said, letting our hair down and being aggressive and playing with nothing to lose. THE MODERATOR: Coach, thank you and congratulations. Q. Ending the year like you did on that tough stretch what is it when you have to kind of pull up your boot straps and get going after halftime. What's a win like this do to kind of reenergize? SHAKA SMART: We've been in a lot of games that we're -- that have played out the way that this game was playing out through the first 30 minutes or so. So it was a similar script. I knew that we were going to have to change the script if we wanted to win. I thought, you know -- obviously a lot of it has to do with if you can make shots. When you're 1-13 the first half that makes it tough from outside.

So we made just enough shots and then we went on a run and our guys got a lot of energy from that run, and I think they gained confidence from that. When we play with confidence we're a different team, and that's what we're going to have to do tomorrow.

Q. With 10 minutes left, did they finally get it? Did it flash before their eyes that this is going to be it? SHAKA SMART: I told those guys, I said, what have you got to lose? You've got nothing to lose. We have a great opportunity to attack. The game is not over. Our guys were saying all the right things, but we've said all the right things before and not necessarily gone out and done what we needed to do.

near future where in this same tournament we're Matthew Temple winning games and doing the press conference first Texas Tech and not second, and I'll think back to these five seniors that helped us lay the foundation this first year. Texas - 61, Texas Tech - 52 Q. Coach, what do you think the biggest difference THE MODERATOR: We are now joined by Texas Tech, was in the final 10 minutes of that game? Aside Coach Chris Beard. His student-athlete with us tonight from them starting to get hot? is Matthew Temple. Coach, an opening statement? CHRIS BEARD: Bottom line is we have one guy on our team tonight that shoots 50%. That was Matt. We've CHRIS BEARD: Just answering questions. got one guy on our team tonight that has more assists than turnovers. There is an individual component to Q. Matt, playwise did Texas do anything differently basketball. I'm proud of our players, and they did great in the last ten minutes, or did their shots just start a lot of things this season, and the bottom line is when to fall? you get to March you have to have individual MATTHEW TEMPLE: Credit to Texas. They started to performances. knock down shots and make some plays, but they executed in the last 10 minutes of the game and we I think our players will be the first to tell you that. You didn't. That was kind of the bottom line. have to give Texas credit, too. The sign of a well- coached team is a team that doesn't quit and Texas Q. Matt, obviously a couple lower scoring had every reason to lay it down the last few weeks to performances from the offenses to wrap up the month, but they're obviously in this tournament to make season. What do you think was the difference some noise. Our guys came to win, too. But we just offensively especially in the second half tonight? didn't play one of our better games tonight. You gotta MATTHEW TEMPLE: Like I said, lack of execution. make half your shots in tournament play. You've gotta Coach prepared us for when teams switch to zone or get to the free throw line. We had nobody on our time man and we've been preparing for that. It's just a lack that got more than 2 free throws tonight. But besides of execution on our part. It's gotta get better. Matt Temple and maybe Millinghaus giving us some energy minutes, I don't think any of our individual THE MODERATOR: Okay, Matthew. We'll let you go players played well. back to the locker room. Questions for Coach Beard now? From a coaching standpoint, we'll take responsibility, too. I wish we could have done some more thing to Q. Coach, there's been so many close losses this help our guys. But the bottom line is, give a lot of season. What do you tell the guys after another credit to Texas. one like this tonight? CHRIS BEARD: There's only one team in college Q. Over the season, where have you seen Keenan basketball that ends with a win. That's on a Monday really improve and grow the most? night in April. So as disappointed as our ending is, the CHRIS BEARD: Well, I think with consistency, bottom line is it's an ending. So I choose to reflect on especially in Big 12 play he proved to be a guy that the positives. Starts with our five seniors. Got a lot of could get to double figures, shoot a good percentage. I respect for those guys. Few of them endured a think the good thing for our program and for Keenan coaching change. That's tough, but they gave us and for Texas Tech fans is that there is a whole other everything they had this year and couple of them chose ceiling for Keenan. We've got to get him better to to spend their senior season at Texas Tech where they where he plays well in the month of March, and I take had other options. responsibility for that. I take a lot of that responsibility. I look forward to really working with Keenan this off- So I will be forever indebted to those guys helping us season and summer as he hopefully establishes get the program started. There will be a day in the himself next year as one of the best players in the Big

But we wouldn't have had the season we did without Keenan Evans, so I appreciate everything he's done this year.

Q. Coach, as you've gone through the season maybe you have had time to reflect, maybe just some take-aways that you have immediately from your first season here? CHRIS BEARD: It always takes some time to reflect and you've gotta be careful to talk in times like this. It's the emotions more than intelligence. What I will say is that there's nobody that wants Texas Tech to win more than me. We're going to get it done here. We're going to establish ourselves. We're going to get better. Our returning players are going to get better and we're going to recruit, and I just want everybody to know that loves Texas Tech basketball like I do personally that this kind of season ending is unacceptable and the way we played today is unacceptable. So we will use this as the starting line. I look forward to greater things ahead, but the expectations of our program is to compete for championships, to compete in the NCAA Tournament and to play better in this tournament. So we will do everything we can in the next 364 days to try to improve.

THE MODERATOR: Thank you, Coach.
