Utah Head Coach Jim Boylen
"The guys played hard. I'm proud of my team. We battled. New Mexico made the plays down the stretch and we didn't."
"I think (Kepkay) knew the score. He drove down too deep and I think he got confused. He's a developing player. It's a developing team. A mistake was made."
"When you give up 10 offensive rebounds and eight 3's, it's hard to win a game."
Utah Junior Luke Nevill
"We fought back and didn't give up until the end."
"They're a great shooting team. They hurt us on the 3's. That stretched the defense and gave them the win."
"I don't know if (Kepkay) was totally aware of what the score was or what happened, exactly. It's frustrating, but we've all been there."
New Mexico Head Coach Steve Alford
"Our team has been amazing all year. We knew this was going to be a very difficult road trip. To win here, where we haven't won in eighteen years, it was huge. We made huge shots in the last four minutes. They did everything we asked them to do and played with great passion and energy. They did a lot of good things in this game."
