POST-ROUND QUOTES
Texas head coach John Fields
This was one of the most difficult days that team has dealt with, and tomorrow, we have to get focused on what we can achieve in the final round. We have a lot of great people on our team who deserve to play a lot better. I'm disappointed for them, and I know they are having a tough time with this. What we have to do right now is diffuse the pressure and have these guys go out and play, enjoy the round tomorrow and take what comes after that.
