Postgame Quotes
Oakland University Head Coach Beckie Francis
On playing in a hostile environment and how that will prepare her team for The Summit League tournament
"We dug ourselves a hole in the first half, with some major foul trouble for both Brittany Carnago and Melissa Jeltema. That hurt us. They got a lead on us, and then we played them even, and outscored them in the second half. I'm very proud of the fact that we were tough and we hung in there. We just dug ourselves too much of a hole in the first half."
On the motivation SDSU had coming into the game, trying to avenge their loss to OU earlier this season and on whether she considers today's performance a moral victory
"Absolutely. We talked about that before the game started, knowing that we beat them by 16 at home and knowing that they were going to come after us. We always say that when you're on the road, with the environment and officials, it's usually a ten-point difference and we are going to have to face that in the tournament. We'd be playing them in a so-called neutral site so it would be the same."
