It was a bad match-up for us as far as quickness on the perimeter. They got in the lane much too often. We had to give help and give up rebounding.
More Quotes from John Beilein:
It was a great basketball game. I was proud of the way we fought back in the second half and darn near won the game. Congratulations to Texas. They beat us twice this year.John Beilein
That was a great basketball game. Their tempo is incredible. No one had pushed us at that pace all year.

What's good about it is we played both Pitt and Louisville the past two weeks. We'll be prepared to make the final adjustments Thursday afternoon.

Maybe we got a little fatigued there. We keep playing and playing and maybe that caught up with us a little. I created the problems a little. I knew that we were not going back to Morgantown for one day. That wore on us, because we're not a deep team. We need rest.

I don't think until the Louisville game (in the Elite Eight last season) did we ever lose a game we led in the last minute. Then it happened to us twice in five days. I think (the Texas loss) bothered us for at least another game. Maybe there was a little lack of confidence after that.
John Beilein
It sure wasn't a beautiful game. (Pitt) had 19 turnovers and we couldn't throw the ball in the ocean.
