‘Out-of-town’ Brown
hindered A&M in NIT
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
and BRANDON BERRY
Battalion Sports Staff
The biggest news from the Texas
A&M basketball headquarters dur
ing the past week wasn’t that the Ag
gies beat TCU on Todd Holloway’s
fall away jump shot at the buzzer. It
wasn’t that A&M lost to Texas Tech
in the Southwest Conference Tour
nament semifinals. And it wasn’t
that A&M lost to New Mexico in the
first round of the National Invitatio
nal Tournament.
The biggest news happened the
day before the Aggies were, to meet
the Lobos in Albquerque. On March
11, A&M’s leading scorer, “Down
town” Kenny Brown, announced he
wanted “Out-of-town” and quit the
team.
Brown told The Bryan Eagle that
several things caused him to quit the
team out of frustration.
“It was a combination of things,”
Brown said last week. “Maybe I ex
pected too much out of everybody
else on the team, maybe I expected
too much from myself. I just felt like
we could’ve done better this year if
we were closer as a team.
“I don’t think I hurt the team. I
just think I could’ve helped more. I
don’t want to mention any names,
but there were some things going on
during games between other play
ers. I wasn’t as big a part of the of
fense as I was earner.”
Brown left school and headed
home to Memphis, Tenn., saying he
would not transfer to another
school.
“The people are friendly here,
but I’m going to go back to Memphis
for awhile and see what comes up,”
Brown said. “As far as A&M, no. I
don’t want to be here. I’m leaving.”
Without Brown’s average of 17.4
points per game, A&M was waxed by
New Mexico 80-67 in the first round
of the NIT.
The Aggies received their NIT in
vitation after dropping out of con
tention for the SWC tournament ti
tle two Saturdays ago in a 72-63 loss
to eventual tourney champion Texas
Tech.
A&M forward Winston Crite
scorched the Red Raiders for 24
points and 10 rebounds, but the Ag
gies shot only 44 percent from the
field and could never overcome
near-perfect shooting performances
from Tech guards Bubba Jennings
and Phil Wallace.
“You realize you weren’t watching
an ordinary athlete out there,” said
A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf of Crite,
who made the All-SWC Tourna
ment team. “And he’s just a sopho
more. He’s capable of doing some
amazing things out there.”
The performances of Jennings
and Wallace were just as amazing.
Wallace hit 14 of 16 free throws
and ended with a career-high 22
points. Jennings, who later that day
received the SWC Player of the Year
award, hit 9 of 11 shots from the
field and led Tech with 23 points.
“Different players have come
through for us every game,” Jen
nings said, “and today it was Phil
Wallace from the line.
“I think some people didn’t think
we were a legitimate conference
champion, so this tournament is just
another proving ground for us.”
The Red Raiders continued their
lesson by defeating the Arkansas Ra-
zorbacks 67-64 in the tournament fi
nals. With the victory, the Red Raid
ers gained an automatic bid to the
NCAA Tournament, where they lost
in the first round to Boston College
by a shot at the buzzer, 58-56.
SWC runners-up SMU and Ar
kansas also received. bids to the
NCAA Tournament,, where they
both lost in the second round: the
Hogs dropped a 68-65 decision to
No. 3 St John’s and SMU lost 70-57
to the 17th-ranked Ramblers of
Loyola University of Chicago.
And the Aggies, who graduate no
seniors from this year’s team, went
to the NIT and lost.
Without Kenny Brown.
“I’m just very surprised because
he gave us very little indication of
wanting to quit the team,” Metcalf
said. “We’ll just have to do our best
without him.”
And get back to the drawing
board for next season.

Villanova, behind a solid perfor
mance from Dwayne McClain,
turned in the first upset of a major
power in the NCAA Basketball
Tournament Sunday, beating No. 2
Michigan 59-55.
The victory over the Wolverines,
which had been the No. 1 seed in the
Southeast Region, put Villanova into
the regional semifinals.
The Wildcats, the eighth seed in
the region, held a 30-26 halftime
lead over Michigan, which finished
the season at 26-4, but the Wolver
ines scored the first nine points of
the second half.
McClain, a senior forward, hit
three straight jumpers and Villa
nova, 21-10, took the lead for good
as the Wildcats coverted 25 of 31
free-throw attempts in the game.
McClain made all four of his free
throws and converted eight of 12
shots from the floor, winding up
with 20 points.
Villanova, which finished tied for
third in the Big East Conference,
will face Maryland, which beat Navy
64-59 Sunday, in the Southeast Re
gional semifinal Friday at Birming
ham, Ala.
In other games Sunday, Illinois
beat Georgia 74-58 and Georgia
Tech blasted Syracuse 70-53 in East
Regional games, Memphis State de
