Oklahoma freshman guard Aaliyah Chavez probably didn’t need to introduce herself, but she did anyway.

Chavez tallied 16 points, six rebounds, five assists, a block and a team-high three steals in the No. 6 Sooners’ 84-67 win against Belmont on Monday night at Lloyd Noble Center for her college debut. She also tied for a team-high 37 minutes while rarely coming off the court.
