Tyra White carried Texas A&M in the first half and Danielle Adams scored 17 of her 19 points in the second, helping the 11th-ranked Aggies hold off No. 12 Oklahoma, 74-67, in Kansas City, Mo., for their second Big 12 tournament title in three years.

White had all of her 16 points in the first half and Texas A&M (25-7) relied on Adams in the second to answer every Oklahoma charge, giving the Aggies a good shot for at least a No. 2 seed when the NCAA brackets are announced today. Adaora Elonu added 10 points and hit two big free throws for Texas A&M in its third consecutive conference title game.

"We had a lot of tests during that point in the season and I think it prepared us for this," said Texas A&M guard Sydney Colson, who had seven assists and five turnovers.

The Sooners (23-10) shot well in the first half, but the four-time tournament champions missed too many shots at the rim in the second to keep up. Amanda Thompson had 20 points and 19 rebounds, and Danielle Robinson scored 18 for the Sooners.
