Sacramento State Head Coach Brian Katz:

On beating a Pac-12 team to get their third win

"[Utah] is a good team. We approach every game the same. Our goals are real simple, we have three goals: One, we want to get better every day. Two, we want to win the next game on the schedule. Three, we want to have more fun than any team in the country. I tell my guys that we're not going to have fun if we don't do number one and number two." 

On the second half rally

"We have five seniors that really have a lot of resolve and that are really committed to each other. They've been through a lot. Last year we made a little rally at the end of the year and won five in a row. Our seniors just made a pact that we are going to win this year. I think our kids have just worked too hard to give up." 

On importance of having a variety of players step up

"In the past we had trouble scoring, we only had one or two that could score. I feel like we have probably a legitimate six guys that can really score. It's harder to guard when you've got to guard five guys at once."
