u Game of Runs. Three significant runs defined tonight's game; the first belong to A&M, using a 15-4 run in the first half en route to taking its big lead of the game at 21-11. Colorado had the other two; the first came right after A&M's spurt, a 12-1 spree that put CU up 23-22; the second came with CU ahead 49-44 midway in the second half, as a 13-4 surge put the Buffs up 62-48 with just under six minutes remaining.

u Texas A &M opened each half hot from the field, making 10-of-14 field goals 71.4%) when combining the first five minutes of each half; however, after making 9-of-11 to open the first half, the Aggies ended the stanza making just 1-of-15 shots (6.7%).

u Colorado now leads the all-time series with A&M by a 10-1 count, including a 6-0 mark in Boulder and 10 straight wins overall.

u This is the fourth time in Big 12 play Colorado has opened 4-1, the third time in the last four seasons. CU's 15-2 record after 17 games is second only to a 16-1 open in 1992-93; it also matches three other 15-2 starts (1981-82, 1993-94, 1994-95).

It marks the first time CU has shot over 60% in a game since clicking at 61.4% in an 86-65 win over LSU on Dec. 29, 2001.

u Colorado F Randie Wirt had her second straight double-double (10 pts/13 reb), her third this season and fourth in her career.
