Recap | Final Stats | Notes
Utah Head Coach Ray Giacoletti
"The second half, we played a lot of new guys out there and we asked them to be efficient. We made a step in the right direction tonight, especially by holding a team to 50 points. Our goal is to only give up 30 points a half and we did well with that tonight."
"We got great performances out of our freshmen. We have to rebound the basketball better, knowing we got killed on the offensive boards tonight. We are going to make some improvements and get ready for Weber State."
"We got in a flow tonight and we went with the players that were playing well. We gave a great defensive effort. Again, we are going to try and get better. I was proud of this team fighting back after a tough first half."
Utah Freshman Forward Shaun Green
"Overall, the team had a great performance. I just tried to do whatever I could to help the team win. The team did a good job getting me the ball when I was open and I just took the open shots."
Utah Senior Forward Bryant Markson
"In the second half, we calmed down on offense and ran some plays that gave us some confidence. We are still trying to transition as a team and learn how to play well together. Shaun Green made some great shots tonight. I love passing him the ball because I know I'm going to get an assist."
