HEAR FROM THE UTES
Lynne Roberts, Head Coach
Opening statement…
"I'm proud of how our team has bounced back. Playing against Oregon's length in that zone is hard, harder than it looks. It took about 20 minutes for us to kind of get in the flow. To have the height that they had on the backline is big for women's basketball. It kind of eliminated [Alissa] Pili a little bit. I thought Jenna was steady as always and got her 1000th point, which is a big deal. I'm proud of her and what she means for this program and what she has done for us. And it's not over yet. Lani White gave us some good life, who I'm very proud of. That kid has shown up every day the same way and works hard every day. And sometimes it's just hard to get in the rotation, but I kept telling her that her time is coming and I thought today she was definitely a difference maker for us in that third quarter. So I'm proud of her. But overall, a good team win. Good bounce back win, I'm proud of our team and Go Niners.
Jenna Johnson, #22, Forward
On achieving 1000 career points at Utah…
"I was so surprised when they said that at halftime, I had no clue. But it was fun. I don't really like to talk about individual things, but it's cool. The Pac-12 is really hard so it means a lot because it's a hard thing to do. Honestly, maybe I should give myself a little bit of credit, but I'm just really happy we won today and I'm just joining the rest of the crew. We have a lot of 1000 point scorers. So it's pretty fun to be part of a team like that."
Matyson Wilke, #23, Guard
On her progression as a player…
"Just like I mentioned before, really trusting in my teammates and just playing hard. I think my defense kind of propels my offense. But today, obviously we were all a little disappointed from Friday, we knew no matter what, win or lose, we knew we could play better. So kind of having that chip on my shoulder today. My teammates found me and we moved the ball really well after the first quarter. I think just trusting in the team and just everyone plays hard. I'm just grateful to be able to play with such great teammates."
UP NEXT
Utah will host Colorado Friday, Feb. 16 before heading to Los Angeles to take on UCLA (Feb. 22) and USC (Feb. 25).
