Utah-New Mexico Quotes from Saturday's Utah Victory
2/4/2006 12:00 AM | Women's Basketball
Feb. 4, 2006
Utah Head Coach Elaine Elliott
On Shona Thorburn: "That game was Shona during the league last year.That was vintage Shona right there, it's nice to have that game from her. It's been a tough league year for [Shona], she's not been scoring, but we know she can. I happy for her, she's been playing well for us, don't get me wrong. She's been doing everything else, but we've lost her scoring component and we're better when she is this aggressive."
On Snapping a 6-Game Losing Streak to New Mexico: "The problem is that they wanted it as bad the first time also, more than anything. We told them to clear your heads, it's a mind game now, just clear your head, this is today. We struggled against them and we felt that it was a mind game for us that we had to overcome to get a better performance."
Shona Thorburn
On Snapping a 6-Game Losing Streak to New Mexico: "It's kind of a last chance and Elaine said it right that we're like dogs up against a fence. We came out ready and it feels so good to beat them because it's been a few and I can't put it into words.We were fired up and I think we played like we were."
Kim Smith
On Scoring 2,000 Points:"It feels good. It's an honor. I've had an amazing four years here. I've just had so much fun and I've been able to score a few points along the way."
On Snapping a 6-Game Losing Streak to New Mexico: "Amazing, especially after we got creamed by them at their place. It sets a tone for the rest of the conference season."
New Mexico Head Coach Don Flanagan
"Utah was the better team by far. It was all about hustle, confidence and determination. The reason we lost is because they played harder and smarter. Utah has a great program, so they are always going to be hard to beat. I don't feel bad about that; I feel bad that we didn't play to our potential."
