NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Texas freshman Mohamed Bamba said he's ready to play a full 40 minutes against Nevada during the Longhorns' first game of the NCAA tournament on Friday.
Bamba, a projected NBA draft lottery pick, played 14 minutes during Texas' loss to Texas Tech in the Big 12 Tournament. The 6-foot-11 center missed the previous three games dealing with a toe injury.
"I'm ready to play 40," Bamba said. "I'm doing well. My wind is back from being out three or four games. I'm doing well, getting back into the flow of things.
