Junior guard Stacey Dales:
On the tempo of the upcoming Oklahoma/Washington game:
"I definitely think it will be a fast-paced game. I think it will be a high-scoring game, exciting for the sold-out crowd. We're really excited about playing in front of the sold-out crowd. I think that there will be a lot of rebounds and a lot of layups. We like to play the fast break game. We like open-court basketball and I think that's been our key all year. I think it does favor us, so I'm excited about the game."
On the adjustment of traveling to Spokane to play the University of Washington:
"I think the Big 12 Conference has prepared us sufficiently for what we're about to face and could potentially face next week. We go to Texas Tech, to Iowa State and to Texas on a consistent basis and we play in front of hostile crowds. It's something we're accustomed to. We do really well on the road and I think our roads wins speak to that."
On the Oklahoma coaching staff:
"I think our coaches bring a very dynamic flair to the game. Coach Coale represents fire and passion and I think her staff mirrors that. They're a very deliberate staff. They are meticulous in how they prepare and what they teach. I think that has extended to the players and we've really taken on that role as well. I think those things make us unique as a group of people."
Senior guard Sunny Hardeman:
On Washington:
"Watching tape, I noticed that they're a lot like us. They like to get it out and run and that's what we like to do. It's going to be fast and fun, with a lot of shots going up. Hopefully it will be exciting for the crowd to watch."
On playing the University of Washington in nearby Spokane:
"We know we're in Washington and they're probably going to have more of a crowd than we are. We treat it like a road game. We've played in hostile environments before."
On Oklahoma's pace:
"I think our pace is fun to watch. Early on in the season, we worked on fast break stuff and we've done it the whole season. If you're going to be a post on our team, you've got to be able to run and get up and down the floor. I think for other teams, and that could possibly send some trouble, if they have taller posts. We've really worked hard on fast breaks this season and we've been successful at it."
Junior guard LaNeishea Caufield:
On steps the coaching staff took to develop Oklahoma into a national power so quickly:
"Our coaching staff is an excellent coaching staff. They brought in recruits who they thought could help make a difference in our program. We believed in the program and believed we could take it somewhere. It's showing in our progress and how we've ended up in our last few seasons."
