Aaliyah Chavez scored 15 of her 26 points in overtime, hitting four threes, as No. 16 Oklahoma erased a late collapse and stunned No. 2 South Carolina 94-82 on Thursday night in Norman.
NORMAN – Basketball games usually tell you who they are early. This one lied.
For most of Thursday night, Aaliyah Chavez chased something just out of reach. The shots she’s made her name on rattled. The rhythm that usually finds her seemed to avoid her entirely. Through four quarters, the freshman guard who has become a huge part of Oklahoma’s offensive heartbeat was stuck at 4-14, searching, adjusting, enduring.
And still, the Sooners stayed alive.
Because this game, this upset, was never just about one scorer. It was about patience. About belief. About trusting that the night would eventually bend in Oklahoma’s favor. It was about the whole team.
