THEY SAID IT: "I take it as a compliment that (the Jazz) sent me, instead of just letting me sit there. I take it as a sign to get better, but show everybody else I can play also." ... Idaho guard C.J. Miles told the Idaho Statesman in regards to being assigned to the Idaho Stampede.
SPEAKING OF CJ: In his first game on assignment from the Jazz to Idaho, C.J. Miles scored the Stampede's final five points, including a tip-in at the buzzer to lift Idaho to its sixth straight win.
