AUSTIN -- Tre Johnson saw his college career with the Texas Longhorns come to an end in Dayton during the First Four of the NCAA Tournament last week against Xavier. He's now expected to enter the 2025 NBA Draft, where he will likely be a Top-10 pick after starring as a freshman.

After the loss to Xavier in the First Four, Johnson said he was "thankful" to play in March Madness. The Longhorns came up short in what was essentially a home game for the Musketeers.

"I was just thankful for the opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament," Johnson said. "The environment really didn't bother me as much. I heard them making noise, especially on their runs, but just knowing timely stops, I guess, because especially with the crowd getting into it, we've got to find a way to string at least three stops in a row just to quiet it back down, so now they've got to play us and we're not playing them and the crowd. I guess just knowing when to get timely stops."

Johnson finished the loss with 23 points and six rebounds on 6 of 14 shooting. He said the team suffered from miscommunication down the stretch.

"I just think we were playing good as a team, it just got late and we had a little miscommunication on some shots and they made big shots in big moments," Johnson said. "Give props to them. But we played good defense as a team almost the whole shot clock. Just had a little bit of miscommunication."
