With 15 seconds remaining, Miles passed the ball to Hinrich and the junior guard surveyed the court from the top of the three-point arc and drove toward the hoop. But Texas' defense collapsed on him and he fumbled the ball, but regained it and attempted a shot. The ball fell
"We were trying to get the ball inside," Hinrich said. "But I bobbled it and I went up and thought I could get contact, I thought I got it, but that's how it goes."
short of the basket and junior forward Nick Collison rebounded it, passed it to Miles with less than a second on the clock but the freshman point guard's hurried shot missed its mark.
loss to Texas two years ago in Austin was still a vivid memory
"It was still fresh in our minds," he said. "We were a younger team back then and we didn't really come to compete. We stepped up tonight."

Gooden said the team has expected big things out the freshman all season — it was just a matter of time before Simien's numbers improved.
"We know that he is going to be a great player here," Gooden said. "We know that we can rely on him to step up."
Simien's strong performance came on a night when most of the Kansas big men had a tough time battling Texas inside the paint. The Jayhawks racked up 22 fouls, which tied for a season-high. Two starters had four fouls and the others finished with three.
"It was physical, but not more
than any other game," Simien said. "It's the type of conference we're playing in. We have to expect that."
Goodenhad trouble establishing position inside. He had to shoot the ball farther away from the basket. He said he the problems caused by the physical play was difficult to overcome.
"There referees letus play," hesaid.
"I didn't agree with some calls, but nobody is perfect. It was as tough a game as we have played."
"It was a pretty big showing match in there," he said. "I was just trying to stay on the block. It was easier for me to stay physical
with them inside because I was fresh off the bench."

SALT LAKE CITY — With a collision, a close finish and a scoring controversy, the Russians once again won gold in pairs figure skating. The Canadians went home sore and shocked with silver.
Russians win skating gold
Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze extended Russia's dominance Monday night by the slimmest of margins over Canada's Jamie Sale and David Pelletier. One judge, from China, favored the Russians in a tiebreaker.
It was clear whom the crowd thought won as it chanted "Six, Six" after the Canadian world champions finished their routine. And many fans booed as Pelletier waved his hand in disgust when the scoreboard showed Russia had won Olympic gold for the 11th straight games.
"When you skate your best and come in second, it is difficult," said Sale, who recovered from a collision with Sikharulidze during warmups. "It shook me up... It was kind of
She said the collision "hurt my stomach." Pelletier was sore for another reason.
a nightmare. I just said, 'This is my ice, my time.' I went out and fought to the very end."
"I can't lie, it is disappointing to come in second," he said as tears rolled down his partner's face.
When Sikharulidze and Sale collided,it sent her sprawling to the ice on her hands and knees. But each team shook off the mishap to skate superbly.
China's Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo won the bronze medal.
American champions Kyoko Ina and John Zimmerman finished fifth but said the performance was "the greatest thing we've ever done."
The Russians collected seven 5.9s for artistry, with the 5.9 from the Chinese judge making the difference — and ensuring a Russian or Soviet pair has won every gold medal since 1964.
"The accident before the performance didn't affect it," Berezhna said.
The winners made one error when Sikharulidze stepped out
of a double axel. But their skill for skating in unison and the passion of their program, to "Meditation," won over enough judges — if not the crowd.
The Canadians, who had won their last nine competitions, then responded with a spectacular mistake-free performance to "Love Story" that included two huge jump jumps.
They didn't, however, get the 6.0s the fans sought, and only four 5.9s for artistry, leaving them in second.
The gold climaxed a long, sometimes distressing climb for Berezhnaya-Sikharulidze, who finished second at the 1998 Games and then won two world titles.
In 2000, Berezhnaya failed a drug test, which she said was caused by over-the-counter cold medicine. They withdrew from the world championships, then were suspended for three months by the International Skating Union and striped of their European crown.
The Russians also skipped last month's European championships because of his leg injury.
