Texas Longhorns men’s basketball’s loss to Houston last week was a tough pillow to swallow, even if most predictions cited it as a somewhat predictable outcome.

But what does it take to compete in that moment—against one of the nation’s top college basketball programs in Houston? Head coach Rodney Terry was asked about it this week.

In particular, he noted Houston’s physical advantage.

“Yeah, you got to go do it. I mean, absolutely. I mean, you got to be built for it, you know, too, as well,” Terry said, per On3, referring to the physical disadvantage, at times, between Texas and Houston.
