Utah State Head Coach Tim Duryea:
"Hats off to Monterey Bay. I thought their guys were enthusiastic, passionate, well-coached and really did a great job executing their game plan. They played well, played hard. They out-played us at every position statistically. They out-played us as far as passion and enthusiasm go and did a tremendous job. They out-coached us, out-played us, out-everythinged us. It's one of those things where it's a good lesson learned. It's an unexpected lesson when you have a lot of experience returning, but on the other hand, we got exposed on found the problems we need to solve. That's what next week will be all about."

Utah State Sophomore Forward David Collette:
"We have a lot of things to work on. I guess if anything, it's a good thing it happened now because it gives us a lot to work on. It was a good wake-up call. You better believe we'll come back, starting Monday with practice. We'll turn things around and we'll be ready. I think a lot of it was that we weren't mentally prepared. Last year we were ranked second-to-last in the Mountain West going into the season. We had something to prove. I think it kind of got into our heads being picked third this year and we took advantage of that. We have to play with a chip on our shoulder like we did last year and turn things around."

Cal State Monterey Bay Head Coach Rob Bishop:
"We just made plays. Utah State is a good basketball team, but we battled with them and everyone stepped up and contributed. I am proud of our guys because every time Utah State scored in the second half we matched it with a point of our own. I think being resilient and believing in ourselves was the key to this victory."
