Utah Head Coach Jim Boylen
"I thought we battled well in the second half. We came out well like we have done all year, but we had dug ourselves a halftime hole. Against good teams, it's tough to win like that."
"I thought we gave up a couple of turnovers for touchdowns, but we really missed a lot of open shots. Our defense at times was very good, I thought we defended well enough to win. Give Butler a lot of credit though, they played very well tonight.
"We have to continue to work on our free throws, I don't know what's going on there."
"I was happy J.J. O'Brien played tonight, I thought he impacted the game for us with his ball skills and his size. I thought our big lineup with him in there would bother Butler, and it did."
"I thought David [Foster] had his best game of the year, I was proud of him. He really tried offensively. He missed a couple plays at the rim that I thought he could have made, but he's working on it."
