Recap?|? Box Score

Oklahoma State Head Coach Jim Littell
Opening statement
"I'm really, really proud of our ladies, the way we fought, the way we prepared for this game. I'm proud of our coaches: Coach Annan and Coach Henderson had a great scouting report, and I thought our team did a great job of carrying that scouting report out. I thought we played with a lot of heart. I'm just real encouraged in the direction these young ladies are headed."
?
On getting their first Big 12 victory of the season
"It's always great to protect your home court, especially against a ranked team like Texas. It just doesn't get any easier. You have to try to get every one you can and scrape and fight and claw for every win that you can. That's why every win in this league is special."
?
On Liz Donohoe
"I thought Liz played extremely well. She's had some tough first halves, but she's really improved on her ability to turn the page. In other words, let a bad first half go and come play a great second half for us. She did that for us in the tournament in Reno, and she's getting better doing that. She's going to be a really nice player. It was a big plus for her to go out and get 13 rebounds for us tonight, too."
?
Toni Young
On if she's more confident coming off the bench
"It's kind of weird, but actually I am. We have a whole lot of different posts that can all start at any point in time, so if it's me coming off the bench, I'm going to do my work coming off the bench, regardless if I'm starting or subbing in for Kendra (Suttles) or Lindsey (Keller)."
?
On how nearly beating Texas Tech gave the team confidence
"They're a really great team and us competing with them and still not playing our best game, I feel like we're a lot better than people thnk because we're young. So, competing with a team that's top ranked and almost coming out and beating them gives us a lot of confidence."
?
Kendra Suttles
On getting to the free throw line
"I just made good moves and got the calls."
?
On if the win gives them confidence going into the Baylor game
"Definitely, going against Baylor because they're a pretty good team, so we know we have to take everything with us and what we learn from the coaches and scouting reports."

Texas Head Coach Gail Goestenkors
On Texas' shooting
"It was awful, pretty much in a nutshell. I give credit to Oklahoma State; they are number one in the country in field goal percentage defense and I think they proved that again tonight. They're a very physical, smart team. They play well together. Unfortunately we weren't hitting our shots so it was a bad combination."
?
On Texas' Guard Play
"We don't have enough guards so if our guards aren't hitting, we only have four on the team, so we don't have a lot of options. We need to come to play and play well everyday for us to be successful."
?
On Texas' Defense
"I thought we started off well defensively. Offensively we couldn't score. I think we lost our focus. Our posts got into some foul trouble, we don't have a deep bench and our bench isn't nearly as good defensively or offensively as our starters."
?
On Oklahoma State
"We knew they were good last year but they were just young. This year they have more weapons, more depth and they have the experience."
