Utah Guard Morgan Warburton
On team's record:
"It's a great opportunity to be a part of this. The team that played was a great team and they only had seven players. It's a good example for us that we can do this and to keep going."
On Sunday's game against Wyoming:
"Oh boy. We stole it from them at their place, so they are going to come play hard like they always do. They're ready for us, and we've just got to be ready for it. We can't start like we did this game."
Utah Head Coach Elaine Elliott:
"It's great. I'm so happy for the kids. They are deserving of this; they've worked long and hard, starting in the summer time. We don't want to share that thing [conference title]. We're up three, with three to play, and that's good odds to clinch. For us, league championships are big. People don't get how hard that is to do. We've really set a standard that we're proud of, so to add another one, we'd be very proud of that."
On Sunday's game against Wyoming:
"It is going to be good for both teams. That game will be about getting an NCAA seed, and it's going to be another top-25 win for whoever gets that one. That's big in the whole scheme of determining seeds and placements in the nationals. It's extremely important."
TCU Head Coach Jeff Mittie
"I'm concerned most about our rebounds. Our team didn't really want to do all the little things in this game. But they really hurt us."
"Utah is definitely one of the best teams in the Mountain West. They are a really good and talented team, especially on the offensive side. They have really earned the championship."
"For us, execution is our biggest downfall. We play well and are a good team, but executions are important so we need to up our efforts there. I was disappointed we didn't fight better in the first half like we did in the second. Our effort was down in the beginning but we picked it up after halftime, so I was happier with our play at that point."
"Most of the time, when we make mistakes, the opposing team let's us have them. But Utah just kept on coming and coming."
"Vegas will definitely test our weaknesses, particularly rebounds."
