Texas and Baylor (who topped
Arkansas) are now 8-5 for the

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

Baylor and TCU meet Saturday
night at Waco. One of them has
to win, so this eliminates the Ag

Coliseum.
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.
