COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - LaNeisha Caufield's flawless performance from the free-throw line during a 26-point game allowed No. 10 Oklahoma to defeat Texas A&M 93-70 Wednesday night.
The victory came just two weeks after the then-No. 13 Sooners (16-4, 7-1 Big 12) defeated A&M (12-6, 2-6) by 13 points. While Oklahoma's margin of victory was nearly double this time, it felt even closer to Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale.
"The score might not have shown it, but this was a tougher game than it indicated," Coale said "This was just a war. I look at this and say how in the world did we win this game by 25 points. It felt like it was only five."
The Aggies turned the ball over a season-high 27-times as Oklahoma handed A&M just its second home loss while extending its own win streak to seven.
A&M turnovers allowed Oklahoma to take a 39-33 lead into the break, despite shooting less than 40 percent from the floor.
"Early in the first half, that's the only way we scored," Coale said.
In the second half, the Sooners shooting soared to 56 percent while Oklahoma extended its lead on the free-throw line.
"Once we get through that little sloppy area, we tend to come out of it that much better," Stacey Dales said. "Once we get on the same page, we're really good. That's what happened the second half."
Coale knew when Caufield went to the free-throw line, the Sooners were going to score. Caufield proved her right, shooting a perfect 14-of-14.
"We didn't start off real well from the line, but Neisha is almost automatic from there," Coale said. "She shoots 87 percent from there, but it's really better than that in conference. We expect hers to go in."
The Sooners missed just four free throws on 26 attempts in the second half after shooting just 55.6 percent in the first half. Oklahoma finished with 27 points off 25 A&M fouls.
"Turnovovers hurt us, but we really just fouled too much," A&M coach Peggie Gillom said. "We gave them 27 points from the line. That's what really killed us."
The Aggies could not compete with the Sooners' presence underneath the basket. During the first period, Oklahoma's only points came from either 3-point range or layups.
Caton Hill dominated inside for Oklahoma, posting 21 points and 12 rebounds. Hill and Caufield combined for 47 points while Dales posted 15 points and Jadrea Seeley added 10.
The Aggies were led by Toccara Williams with 20 points.
