Utah Guard Leilani Mitchell
"Coach told us it didn't look like we were having fun in the first half. We picked up the energy after halftime and went on a really big run."
"They have a good team. They can make shots. Some of the guards were hitting threes. We just needed to pressure them."
"You always want to raise your level against your rivals. The first half wasn't too bad, but in the second half we really picked up our intensity."
Utah Head Coach Elaine Elliott
"We needed to have better enthusiasm and energy in the first half. It wasn't anything about X's and O's."
"It has to be about fun. You don't want to get into a scenario when you're just showing up and going through the motions."
"We've been able to manage some pretty good spurts in a lot of games. We want our players to play with great love and passion."
BYU Head Coach Jeff Judkins
"They execute very well. We don't right now. I think we are young. We don't understand what the game is about. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way. I thought Utah really executed their plays well. They just let it go."
"I think over the last few years my teams have struggled with them... it's hard to coach against that and I can see why people get mad. They're a very good team. But we made some mistakes. We get discouraged; we don't tighten up the belt."
"To win takes effort. To win takes drive, determination and whatever you have to do to win."
"We stopped playing defense. We stopped moving the ball. They came down and made some shots, got up on us and we just folded. We just said the game is over and they hit more shots while they were ahead. That's how it works. But I thought we played a pretty good first half."
"We have to win some games and gain some confidence for the tournament. This team could beat any team, any given night if they actually came ready to play."
"Utah's not a good match for us, even though last year they were. Mitchell caused us a problem with that this year."
