POST-ROUND QUOTES
Texas coach John Fields
Collectively, the team is disappointed that we didn't come out and play better golf today. Our guys that we normally count on didn't play their best today. You have to take the good with the bad, and those guys certainly helped us win this event last year. They didn't come out to do what happened today. My sense is we'll come out tomorrow and play good golf and get ready for the rest of the season. I'm happy with some of our individuals. The afternoon rounds were good for them. Oklahoma State played great, and they showed why they're one of the best teams in the country.
