Keith Smart
On Tonight's Game:
“It was a good win for our magnificent seven to come out and play on a back-to-back. C.J. (Watson) did
a great job and our whole team, all seven of them did a really good job.”
On playing young guys:
“These young guys that we’ve had since the summer - from Las Vegas to the summer league here in
Utah - they have just worked their butts off all year long until, unfortunately for us, we had a bunch of
injuries. These guys all got a chance to play. The program that we have is about getting these young guys
better so when their opportunity comes they are ready to play. It’s a testament to all these young guys
how they’ve performed.”

C.J. Watson
On Tonight's Game:
“We just wanted to come in a play hard, play tough and match their intensity. They play pretty hard at
home, but we came out, played hard and fought for the win. We want to play loose and play fast, that’s
what we’ve been doing, and we played solid defense. We just tried to get their big men in pick-and-rolls,
and then see what I could get from there, either a drive, jump-shot or kick it to an open
teammate.”

On Tonight's Game:
On the play of the team
“We did awesome. We just played loose. We realized that we are out of the playoffs and had nothing
to lose. We just played fearlessly, and played together. We made some shots and had a lot of good
effort from a lot of different guys. There is something about sports, when your back is against the wall,
you tend to play better, and guys come together. We’ve had a lot of adversity with a lot of injuries, but
we have done a good job of coming together and fighting. We shared the ball, we had each other’s backs,
we played with a lot of passion and that is contagious.
On winning in Salt Lake City:
“We just thought it was a good opportunity to get a win on the road. We have two games left after this,
and we just wanted to make sure that we closed out the season on a good note.”
