Dawn Staley Acknowledges Aaliyah Chavez After Breakout Performance in Oklahoma Win [View all]
Avid followers of women's college basketball were certainly aware of Aaliyah Chavez before Thursday night. Chavez was the No. 1 recruit in the country after all, before choosing to head to Oklahoma.
But what Chavez did in leading the Sooners to an overtime win over South Carolina served as a breakout for her on a bigger stage.
The freshman star was electrifying in OT, pouring in 15 points as the Sooners stunned the Gamecocks by turning what was a tie game at the end of regulation into a 94-82 victory.
After the contest, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley was asked about the performance from Chavez and had to acknowledge the heroics.
"She was great, she ran her team, hit big shots, delivered the ball, everything that you want a point guard to do. She's having a great freshman year," Staley said of Chavez.
