After Saturday's win, Utah Prep has a 9-4 record. During the postgame presser, Dybantsa said:

“It was a good performance, but we won, and that’s all that matters. We’re improving. We’ve lost a couple games, but (tonight) we bounced back.”

During the game, Dybantsa was also seen setting up screens, finding the open man and rotating the ball to involve the players around him.

“It’s a team game,” Dybantsa said. “I mean, everybody’s got to eat. I’m not the only one playing. I try to put on a show, but I also want to keep it simple. The main objective is to win, but I try to warm up the crowd and put on a little show.”
