QUOTABLE
“I have a lot of respect for that program and what they’ve done since coach Petersen has been there. I have a lot of connections and friends on that staff and they’ll have them ready. It’s going to be fun to have them here in Provo.” — BYU coach Kalani Sitake
”It’s just different than being at home. It’s awesome playing at home, there’s nothing like it. You go on the road and those momentum swings, you just feel them. You talk about staying mentally strong and sticking to it and not overreacting. That I enjoy.” — Washington coach Chris Petersen
