Utah-Montana Tech Postgame Quotes - Nov. 1, 2007
Utah Head Coach Jim Boylen
"I think we have a ways to go defensively with our grit and our toughness. But we'll take it for our first night."
"We have to become a team that believes in defense, not because I say it but because we know that's how we've got to do it."
"We gave them nine points in that first half that never should have happened. It's because of mental focus. That can't happen at this level, people are too good."
Utah Guard Stephen Weigh
"Me and JB (Johnnie Bryant), our role on the team is to hit open shots. It took me a while to get going and JB the same thing. Hopefully you won't see that too much throughout the season."
"I'm glad I got myself going by getting offensive rebounds and hopefully that's going to be my game plan the rest of the year. I don't want to just be a reliable outside shooter."
"Defensively, I'm sure everyone could see there was a big, big difference compared to last year. We didn't have as many lapses. Once we limit that more, we'll be great."
Montana Tech Head Coach Nate Larson
"Utah is a very good team. They're big athletes. It's a big step up for us to play here, but we're very fortunate they invited us out to play in this game. Bottom line, it was a great experience for our guys."
