Utah Head Coach Jim Boylen
"I have been saying for the last month, I feel this is a good, young, developing team that is playing good basketball, and just needed to break through. We practiced very well after the BYU game and the San Diego State game. I want to praise this group for its toughness, resiliency and the trust to be coached. I am happy for our guys that we were able to break through today."
"I thought our defense was good today but our rebounding was even better."
"We were fearful of their zone defense coming into the game, but I thought we moved and shared the ball and found open guys. All season we have been willing to pass the ball but sometimes when it gets close, we try to do it ourselves. We are finally learning to move it and share it when the game gets tough. I thought we had a lot of "hockey assists", tonight."
"I am thankful and glad for our players. It's been hard on our staff too. I have been saying that I feel we have a good basketball team here, but until you break through, it can fall on deaf ears."
