A&M coach Gary Blair said despite Walker's strong first half, she needed to clean up her game after committing four turnovers in the first 20 minutes. Walker didn't commit a turnover in the second half.

''We talk about being a complete player, and she played better in the second half, even though she only scored one basket,'' Blair said.

The taller Aggies dominated the Cougars 54-12 in points in the paint, and capitalized on 15 Houston turnovers by holding a 29-11 advantage in points off turnovers.

''The one thing we can't simulate is their pressure in practice,'' Houston coach Ronald Hughey said.

TIP INS:

Texas A&M: The Aggies have won five of the last seven meetings between the old Southwest Conference foes.
