Women's hoops roundup: 10th-ranked A&M survives Alabama's late rally; UTA ends four-game skid

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Jordan Jones had 15 points and five assists, and No. 10 Texas A&M survived a late rally to beat Alabama 59-56 on Thursday night.

Jones' teammate Courtney Walker finished with 14 points after scoring eight in the final quarter to help Texas A&M (15-5, 5-2 SEC) withstand a 9-2 run in the middle of the period that gave Alabama (13-8, 2-6) a lead with less than three minutes to play.

Jones took a charge from Alabama's Karyla Middlebrook in the final seconds, and Alabama's potential game-winning bucket was waved off.

Texas A&M outrebounded the Crimson Tide 23-12 in the first half, and finished the game with 41-28 advantage on the boards.
