Utah Head Coach Elaine Elliott
"This was a real mental challenge. I am obviously very proud of the comeback and the effort of the second half. It was significantly better and it was nice to see. The comeback is a decision that the kids had to make. There's no speech. The point is - are you going to play another 20 minutes without any real interest in being here, because I thought that really slowed us. It looked like we were in mud. They were twice as quick because we were twice as slow and that always stems from your interest in being there. For whatever reason, I don't think we were sharp, and it showed. We were a step behind defensively and entirely in the first half. They got everything they wanted in the first half. I just think the team had made a decision to change that around in the second half. For us, we just shot poorly, especially from the 3-point area. We are not a poor-shooting team. If you look at our two leading scorers, Kalee and Morgan, they are both high percentage shooters but have struggled mightily. At some point, you return to the mean, and their mean today was better than their average for the season."
Utah Forward Kaylee Whipple
On a change in mindset:
"I don't think we lost faith. It¹s hard when you go on a losing streak like that, you're just hoping that our offense comes and that we can continue to play through it. I don't think we ever lost faith. We knew that once we got over our little hump we would be OK.
On the difference made in second half:
"Like Coach said, I think it was just a choice. We got in the locker room and we knew we weren't playing like we should. Each game we're competing, whether we lose or win, so it was matter of making the choice that we weren't going to just play it out. We were going to fight."
