Arizona State women's basketball coach Charli Turner Thorne fired back at her Oregon State counterpart Wednesday for his complaints about her team's physical play.
Last week, before ASU's game at Oregon State, Beavers' coach Scott Rueck said in an interview that the Sun Devils "play football, that's what they do. It's an absolute bloodbath when you play them.
"You either rise to it and play tougher than them and harder than them or they push you around."
No. 11 Oregon State edged No. 22 ASU, 64-62, last Friday, ending a four-game losing streak in the series.
