Aggies win over OU on Saturday

I didn't take time to write about Texas A&M's win over Oklahoma (at Oklahoma, no less) yesterday; so, I'll do so now.

Texas A&M beat the Sooners 54 to 52. OU's loss ended a string of 26 consecutive wins in the Big 12; but, streaks aside, the game was very physical and OU didn't handle the physical play well one bit.

The Sooners committed 28 turnovers in the game and shot a season low 32.7% from the field. They looked frustrated by the Aggies "in your shirt" defense throughout the game.

Sooners' fans (11,486 attended the game which is spectacular!) booed at the refs for much of the game for what they perceived were non-calls; but, my simple question is this: How can a team with Courtney Paris on the squad not be used to contact by the opposition?

Like it or not, women's basketball is physical. The game is more physical now than it was in the recent past. If the Sooners want to reach the Final Four this year, they're going to have to change their mindset and get used to the physical play. Act instead of react.
