Utah Head Coach Elaine Elliott
"We've been struggling with our starts. In the end, we still turned it over too much, but it wasn't five turnovers in five minutes. We did a much better job of getting opportunities and defended well. It was a good start."
"You still have the same game going on, it doesn't matter what the score is. There are still screens to read, screens to set, execution, it's always about doing your stuff well against anybody at all times."
"[Whipple and Warburton] scored from different places tonight. We also give them the toughest perimeter assignments defensively and they have really handled that well. If you could, you would rather have some stopper on defense and resting your players that you need to score, but we don't have that luxury. [Whipple and Warburton] have really done a great job of both working hard defensively and still be effective on offense."
Forward Kalee Whipple
"Every time we play Colorado State it will be a great game. They are a great team. In regards to last year, a lot of us try to forget about it. It's a new year and we need to move on."
"Stopping Colorado State in transition was a big key in our practice. They are a really good transition team. We worked on that over and over in practice, stopping them in transition."
"We've had some success getting early leads against Colorado State, but it shouldn't just be against them. Coming out strong in the beginning of the first and second half is something we need to do in every game, not just ones against Colorado State."
Guard Morgan Warburton
"I felt better tonight. The last few games I haven't been shooting the ball well. This game helped to get my confidence back up."
"Jumping out ahead like we did is what you want to do every game. Today it went through for us. Things worked out in our favor."
