THE BATTA
Aggies Fall To Mustangs, 85-71 In Final Home Gan
By GARY SHERER
“That's the whole story,” Ag
gie Coach Shelby Metcalf said,
pointing to the G. Rollie White
Coliseum scoreboard.
THE NUMBERS on the score-
board agreed with Metcalf as they
read Southern Methodist 85, Ag
gies 71.
Tuesday night before a crowd of
4,000, SMU proved why it is the
conference champ. The Mustangs
made few mistakes and led all
the way, sometimes by as much as
20 points.

The Aggies didn’t make many
mistakes handling the ball, but
they could not get the ball through
the basket.
FROM THE floor, the Aggies
shot 27 for 74 for a not-so-good
36.5 percentage. What was the
real shocker was a 17 of 87 from
the foul line. When you miss 20
free throws, it is hard to win a
ballgame, especially against SMU.
The referees called a total of
47 fouls in the game, 29 of them
on the Mustangs, but the Aggies
couldn’t convert. For one of the
few times this year, the Aggies
second-half shooting stats were
better than the first period.
For the first half, the Maroon
and White were 10 of 29 for 34.5
while they were 17 of 45 in the
second 20 minutes for 37.8 ; .
THE STATISTICS weren’t the
only things that stood out. The
Mustangs’ Denny Holman was the
backbone of the SMU attack, as
his playmaking and shooting led
the Mustang cause.
“He is a terrific playmaker,”
Metcalf said in lauding Holman
following the game.
Holman had 22 points for the
game and many assists as his rhy
thmic movement on the court was
something to be seen. The 6-1
senior from Dallas was backed up
by Charles Beasley.
Beasley, All-SWC for the past
two years, rang up 20 markers,
with a jump shot that was almost
unstoppable. The Shreveport, La.,
senior and Holman form possibly
the best duo to be seen in the
SWC for the past few years.
THE AGGIES, though, should
n’t have been out of the ballgame,
even with the presence of the two
Mustang stars. The worst nemisis
this night was the inability to
make the baskets. The passing
was crisp, the ball-handling was
good, the plays were working, but
the most important aspect wasn’t
happening — scoring.
The first half saw the Aggies
grab the lead once, 9-8, on a lay
up by Dick Rector. Rector, play
ing his final game at College
Station, started and played a fine
ballgame for his swansong. He,
too, unfortunately couldn’t find
the basket enough and finished
with 11 points on five for eleven
and one free throw.
The Mustangs pulled away bit
by bit in the first period, as they
hit a fine 50 per cent on 18 for
36. With everything going right
for the Mustangs, they compiled a
42-30 halftime lead.
THE PONIES started fast fol
lowing intermission and built up
a 20 point lead in two minutes.
But the Aggies came back and
lowered the deficit some, but could
not generate enough of an at
tack to put together a comeback.
Perhaps the one reason the Ag
gies kept fairly close was the
playing of Buzzy Myatt. The 6-5
Aggie junior played like a demon.
He pulled down 14 rebounds, with
nine of them coming in the second
half.
MYATT FINISHED with 15
points and could have been in the
high 20’s but the basket just
wouldn’t cooperate with his shots.
It was Myatt who led a final Ag
gie hot streak in the last two
minutes to outscore the Mustangs
11-2.
Proof of how hard the Abilene
product played was shown follow
ing the game. Myatt was just
about breathless as he shook
hands with Metcalf who praised
his play.
In that final Aggie rush, the
Maroon and White only let the
ball get past midcourt two times,
as they harassed the Mustang
team with a full-court press.
THE LOSS put the Aggies rec
ord at 6-17 and 5-8 for league
play. The Mustangs, who clinch
ed the SWC title this past week
end, are now 19-5 for the season
and 11-2 in the SWC. They will
finish their regular season Thurs
day night, hosting Texas. Then
they will wait until March 11
when they meet Louisville in first-
roun daction of the NCAA finals.
Billy Bob Barnett was again
high scorer for the fourth straight
game, with 16. John Underwood
added 10' along with Myatt’s 15.
Beasley and Holman got their
main support from Lynn Phillips
and Bill Voight who had 13 and
11, respectively.
The Aggies complete their sea
son Thursday night when they
visit Fort Worth to meet Texas
Christian.
