Utah-BYU Quotes (Jan. 27, 2007)
Utah Head Coach Elaine Elliott
"The stretch near the end gave us a little bit of a buffer and that was about it. The game was very close, very tight and a good contest against two very good teams."
"We started off very poorly this season and we weren't very good. But we have improved and I'm very pleased about that. The differences have been the kids, they were a very young team and they had to find out who they were. We lost our identity and had to find where that's going to come from and figure out how that's all going to come together. That took some time."
Utah Sophomore Morgan Warburton
"We knew it was going to be a close game. If you make shots, you've got to keep that intensity up, so they don't make a run on you."
"This was definitely the most physical game we have been a part of. It's always a battle with the BYU team."
"At the beginning of the year, we were young and just learning how to play with each other. We have come together off the court and that's also helped us come together on the court."
Utah Freshman Kalee Whipple
"This game was very physical, but those are always the best ones."
"We came together as a team and became one, which has helped us on and off the court."
BYU Head Coach Jeff Judkins
"We got out-hustled and out-played. Coach Elliott never beats herself."
"(Morgan) Warburton is a very good player. Elaine's system is very simple; they spread you out very well and have good shooters. So you can't cheat."
"(Kalee) Whipple and (Marie) Warner have been the two biggest surprises for me, because they're relatively inexperienced. We recruited Whipple pretty hard, we just didn't get her. She made us pay today."
