Postgame Notes

Feb. 12, 2008

• Coale's Challenge: OU head coach Sherri Coale pledged to donate $1 to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund for every student in attendance at OU's final three home games. Coale will match that donation with an equal amount for OU's Campus Activities Council to disperse among the university's registered student organizations. Tonight's game was the first to count towards the challenge. The official numbers of students in attendance Tuesday night was 468.

• The win was Coale's 250th in her 12th season as Oklahoma's head coach. Coale's overall record is 250-122 (.672). Coale is the program's all-time leader in coaching victories and winning percentage.
