THE BATTALION
Aggies Host Unbeaten TCl
Aggies Hope To Bounce Back
From Saturday Loss To SMU
By GARY SHERER
Basketball returns to G. Rollie
White Coliseum at 8 p.m. to
night as the Aggies take on TCU,
unbeaten in league play this year.
The Horned Frogs have taken
two conference opponents thus
far with a 71-65 victory over Tex
as Tech and a 96-82 victory over
Texas this past Saturday. Both
of these wins have been at home,
so this will be their first road
test.
TCU presents a balanced of
fense led by 5-11 Wayne Kreis
from Pampa who is hitting at a
13.4 pace. Not far behind Kreis
is Mickey McCarty, 6-5 junior
from Pasadena who is scoring at
a 13.2 clip. Jess Evans at 12.8
and James Cash at 11.2 complete
the four-pronged scoring attack
for the Frogs.
TCU Coach Byron (Buster)
Brannon is in his 19th year as
head man and he has put together
an experienced aggregation to op
pose the Aggies. They bring a
4-8 record into this game, but
have not had success on the road
as they are 0-7 for road games.
This fact, along with the steady
improvement of the young Aggie
team, will make this game pretty
close to a tossup.
Aggie Coach Shelby Metcalf
had his team practicing both Sun
day and Monday in preparation
for the game. He says they are
working on some new things and
that they will be ready for TCU
by gametime. His probable line
up will be John Underwood and
Sonny Benefield out front, Dick
Rector and Billy Bob Barnett on
the side and Ronnie Peret in the
middle.
The Aggies are now 1-1 in
conference play as a result of
their 80-67 loss to SMU over the
weekend.
In Saturday night’s game a bal
anced Southern Methodist scoring
attack plus Aggie jitters led to
an 80-67 SMU victory at Dallas.
Playing before a Moody Coli
seum crowd of 9,000, the Aggies
had 19 turnovers and SMU took
advantage of most of them and
followed up with a basket to keep
the lead the entire game.
The Aggies outshot the Mus
tangs from the floor but the ref
eree’s whistle was a frequent
sound (especially in the second
half) and the foul was usually on
the Aggies. The foul shot totals
bear this out, as the Ponies took
39 trips to the charity stripe while
the Aggies received 20 free toss
es. The 13' point difference was
made up here, with SMU convert
ing 26 foul shots and the Maroon
and White 13.
The Aggies fell behind at the
start and their only real threat
came with three minutes left in
the first half as Underwood hit
on a jump shot to make it 30-25,
SMU. After that shot, SMU ran
off 13 points, while the Ags could
just manage six and the Mus
tangs took a 43-31 lead to the
dressing room at halftime.
Working out of a zone de
fense, the Mustangs forced the
Aggies to take outside shots and
except for a hot first half streak
by Underwood, he and Benefield
could not find the basket enough
to pull the Pony defenders out
to them.
The Mustangs’ Denny Holman
and Charles Beasley paced the
experienced SMU attack and forc
ed many mistakes from the sopho
more-laden Aggie five. As in
past games, the inexperience of
the young players was a big fac
tor in the loss.
Aggie Coach Shelby Metcalf
said after the game that if not
for the turnovers and the exces
sive foul calls, the Aggies would
have come much closer. He point
ed out that Peret getting into foul
trouble early changed his game
plan because he had to pull the
6-9 sophomore from Plainview
out of the game for a lot of the
early play.
Peret fouled out eventually as
he again had two or three fouls
that were questionable but unfor
tunately for the Aggies they were
n’t to the referee. This has been
the case in most of the games
for Peret. He just can’t seem to
avoid that foul call and gets sad
dled with two or three before the
game has progressed very far.
Buzzy Myatt turned in an out
standing game scoring 13 points
and grabbing a team-high nine
rebounds. Peret was high scorer
with 14 points while Myatt along
with Underwood added 13 apiece.
