Aaliyah Chavez, Raegan Beers form a scary March Madness tandem for OU women's basketball

Yahoo Sports

Raegan Beers and Aaliyah Chavez led the OU women's basketball team past Michigan State to the Sweet 16, showcasing their contrasting but effective styles.

NORMAN — The Sooners , with their two distinct stars, can sometimes look like a team caught between eras. You have Raegan Beers the senior and Aaliyah Chavez the freshman. One is a bruising big, the other an electric guard.

Beers brings the physicality. Chavez supplies the flash. Beers is hyper efficient.

Chavez is a heat check. The Beers era is almost over. The Chavez reign has only just begun.

But this being a bridge year, if you can even call it that, isn’t a bad thing. Because here the Sooners are, dancing into the Sweet 16 in large part thanks to the Chavez-Beers tandem. The two of them tied for a team-high 18 points Sunday night as No.
