Oklahoma stretched its lead to 16-points, 46-30, and never allowed the Aggies closer than 11-points for the remainder of the game.

Jackson's 11 assists in the first half matched her previous career high.
Andrews had her second career double-double with season highs of 15 points and 10 boards, one rebound shy a her career high. Andrews' three made treys were her first in Big 12 play. Rush added eight rebounds, two shy of a double double. Morenike Atunrase led Texas A&M (11-5, 2-4) with 16 points. Erica Roy added 10. The most impressive stat of the game was OU's 25 assists to its 28 made field goals.

However, OU was forced into 19 turnovers and gave up 20 offensive rebounds to the scrappy Aggies.
