β€œThose two guys (Collette and Barefield) have really helped them. Collette did a great job at Utah State and he’s already (Utah’s) leading scorer. Barefield had 35 against San Francisco and he can do everything β€” shoot, hit 3s, drive it. Kuzma can shoot 3s or score in the post. Larry Krystkowiak is just a really great coach. He does a great job of offense. They move the ball side to side and have a great balance between their perimeter and post. Defensively, they’ll have a lost of changing defenses and they’ve been doing really well with their zone.” β€” UA associate head coach Joe Pasternack, who scouted the Utes. Β
