Oregon State head coach Judy Spoelstra postgame quotes
"We came out with some good offense in the first half, but then we got stuck and couldn't find our rhythm."
"ASU came out here and made some big shots at the end. Give them credit for coming out to play today."
"I was not too happy with the turnovers today. We turned the ball over too many times and couldn't capitalize on the turnovers that we forced."
"I think every coach hates to lose at home. Those are giveaways. Our overall record is really important to our post-season status and we need these wins at home."
"Arizona is a very tough team, I think its going to be a very good game on Saturday."
Arizona State University head coach Charli Turner Thorne postgame quotes
On the win:
"We've struggles here in the last few years and we know how talented their team is . . . so I'm really proud of our effort tonight."
"It's absolutely huge for us. We set out on a mission to get a sweep this week. If we want to get back into the thick of things in the conference, these games are must-wins for us."
On Carrie Buckner's defense on Shannon Howell:
"I thought Carrie Buckner did a great job on Howell. She had help and our whole team was focused on trying not to let her get going. Great game for Carrie coming home."
On turnovers:
"We've addressed some other things we need to address, such as position defense, battling on the boards, and shooting a high percentage. When we are doing those things we can have one area that we don't do well at."
