TCU, Texas and Baylor (who topped Arkansas) are now 8-5 for the season and tied for first place. The Aggies are in second at 7-6. The best the Aggies can hope for now is a tie for second with one game remaining. This situa tion is brought about because Baylor and TCU meet Saturday night at Waco. One of them has to win, so this eliminates the Ag gies.

Actually, Tuesday night’s Ag gie game could be split into two 25 minute halfs with a 50-minute halftime instead of a 40-minute game and two five-minute over times. A modern day first was recorded when it started raining in Lubbock and the game was de layed because the roof of Lub bock Coliseum started to leak. THE GAME was held up for almost an hour as the officials waited for the rain to stop or a SWC official to come forth and tell them what to do. The former happened and play continued af ter mopping-up operations had made the floor safe again. At this point, the Aggies were behind 47-40. Metcalf did not blame the delay for the loss as the Aggies did take over the lead later, in the first overtime. With 1:20 left to play, Ronnie Peret hit a layup to make it 71-71 and regulation time ran out be fore either team could score again. BOTH TEAMS, showed the ex haustion of extended play in the first overtime, as they could only manage four points each in- the five minute period. The Aggies had a 75-74 lead but had trouble bringing the ball in against a Tech press with 12 seconds left. Tech center Vernon Paul was fouled in the confusion, and made one out of two foul shots to force the game into another overtime. This time, the Red Raiders jumped into a six-point lead and the Aggies couldn’t make up the deficit and the game was over. Little Jerry Haggard was the chief Aggie tormentor with 27 points. Six of these points came in the overtime period, giving him half of the Tech total in the two extra-timers. He got support from Jim Nelson, Steve Hardin and Paul with 13, 11 and 11 re spectively. Johnny Underwood led the Ag gies with 19 points. He was fol lowed 1 by Peret, Sonny Benefield and Harry Bostic with 16, 14 and 11. Metcalf had praise for Bostic who got all of his points along with some key rebounds in the Aggies’ second half comeback. SWC Roundup FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. <A>> _ The Baylor Bears moved into a three-way tie for first place in the Southwest Conference basket ball race here Tuesday night by whipping Arkansas 71-64. Baylor, Texas Christian and Texas are knotted at the top with 8-5 records. The loss dropped Arkansas to 6-7.
