November 24, 1999 Bill Evans (Head Coach, Southern Utah) About the game: "I don't think we played very well. Offensively, I think we were real stagnant." About BYU's 12-3 run to start the 2nd half: "I probably stayed in the zone too long. They went into halftime, made some adjustments, and attacked us better." About BYU shooting about 30 more free throws:
"I don't believe the game was poorly officiated. We need to play
aggresive defense and not foul." Steve Cleveland Why Silester Rivers did not play much in the second half: "He tweaked his ankle pretty bad yesterday. The pain killer wore off about halftime, so that's why I sat him down." About the play of Matt Montague: "He knows how to distribute the basketball and get it to people. He still has a sore achilles tendon. He won't practice the next four days." About 6 players scoring in double figures: "This is very unselfish team. They make the extra pass. I like the unselfishness of the guys." About starting the season with two wins: "I think it's really important to win at home. You can't underestimate college sports and what can happen on any given night." How to prepare for Arizona: "There's no game that prepare us for Arizona. They are one of the top 10 teams in the country and are very good at home." How this year's Arizona team compares to last years: "Better. Way better. Much better defensive team. Last year [against us], they didn't seem to have a good focus." Why he "woke" up in the 2nd half and scored 14 points: "The coaches kind of got on me to play harder. I got my first points on the break and against man defense. It was harder to get something against the zone." About the 12-3 run to start the 2nd half: "The last two games, we came out kind of soft. That's good that we came out strong." On SUU's Montano scoring 27 points: "The
scouting report said he wasn't looking to shot! I guess he proved that
wrong." Terrell Lyday On scoring 92 points: "We're just a great shooting team."
About getting back into game shape after a mission: "I feel better every game and every practice. I look forward to when I can just run and not get tired."
