He needs to stop listening.

Each victory leaves less and less doubt about the Oklahoma State women's basketball team.

Imposters rarely play for the Big 12 Tournament championship, which is what the Cowgirls will do Saturday night against Texas A&M.

OSU advanced to the title bout by winning a physical semifinal undercard against Texas on Thursday night, hanging on for a 75-72 victory inside Municipal Auditorium.

The Cowgirls have now won 25 of their 31 games this season.

Of this, there is no doubt.

Nor is there doubt that OSU is capable of making some noise in next week's NCAA Tournament.

But for this to happen, the Cowgirls must rid themselves of a nasty habit.

More than once they've blown monster leads.

They've managed to hang on and win, but March is no time for second chances.
