Aggie Women Win 2010 Big 12 Basketball Tournament Championship

The #11 Texas A&M women's basketball team defeated the #12 Oklahoma Sooners women's basketball team, 74-67, on Sunday afternoon. Tara White scored 16, Danielle Adams had 19, and Adaora Elonu added 10 as the Aggies won the rubber match between the two programs; the teams had split the regular season series, with each team winning at home.

This victory may be enough to garner A&M a #2 seed when the NCAA Tournament brackets are announced tomorrow. Of bigger concern right now is the play of A&M's defense the last two games; usually the Aggies' strong suit, the defense has given up over 50% shooting to both Nebraska and Oklahoma in consecutive games. The Aggies have won both games with some an offensive explosion themselves, but I hope we aren't forgetting the fundamental strength that brought us to where we are under Gary Blair, and that is relentless defensive pressure. We'll worry about the hows and whys we won at a later time, though. Right now, the Aggie women are the 2010 Big 12 Women's Basketball Tournament Champions, and for that they deserve congratulations and a big Whoop!!!
