INDIANAPOLIS — Texas A&M overcame a lot on Tuesday night. Its own gender-biased history. A hostile Indiana crowd. The hand-wringing over a national championship game without UConn.

The Aggies went to a place they’d never been, the national title game, and made it their own.

In the 30th anniversary of the women’s NCAA championship, Texas A&M — which didn’t even admit women a half-century ago — beat Notre Dame 76-70, setting off an exuberant, joyful and unexpected celebration.

The game was everything that the men’s championship — played 24 hours earlier — was not: riveting, well-played, high-scoring, star-driven.
