Brandon Davies
"We're coming off two instate games and this one feels especially good since it's a true road win. The instate games are important to us."

"I've seen a lot of double team and was sort of expecting it tonight. They threw it in there a few times and that made it tough but I battled hard."

"Raul (Delgado) and Cory (Calvert) stepped it up for us tonight, they came in and gave us a boost. Tyler was also big for us – he's so consistent and dangerous. Teams have to really work to slow him down."

"This season is all about focusing in and finishing every shot I take. I want to do everything I can for this team."

"We really needed this win and to get ourselves going, especially on the road. We have some big road games coming up and need to prepare. We definitely talked about what this game meant before we played."

BYU head coach Dave Rose
"Tonight was really a good win and I thought both teams battled tough. This was the best I've seen Brandon (Davies) play – I like that he just kept playing. He never let up. On the road you need to have one or two players who will step it up and tonight Brandon did that for us. I think this game wil be special for a lot of guys on our team because so many of them contributed and played tough and figured out what they'd be able to keep contributing this season."

"Cory (Calvert) was a whole new player tonight. He showed us what he can do and was a big part of our win. Raul (Delgado) was quietly consistent as well. And I think tonight was one of Nate's (Austin) best performances. There were a lot of guys that got quality minutes tonight and it was fun to watch them."

"The thing about Ty (Haws) is that he stays with it – he's so consistent all night and so great, especially, from the free throw line. He never backs down. When you play one game in a week you can look to play your guys a little bit more and that's why we decided to keep Ty in there so long, and also Brandon. I won't hesitate to say that from the free throw line he'll be consistent all season."
