“YOUR SOUND NEIGHBOR IN BRYAN”
By Richard Campbell
Battalion Sports Editor
It was the perfect setting, com
plete with a cheerleader floor-
show, band, and all.
But unfortunately, the Texas
Aggies found the beautiful new
Hofheinz Pavilion in Houston not
to their liking as they dropped
both of their games Friday and
Saturday to finish fourth in the
Bluebonnet Classic.
Sandwiched in between the fes
tivities of the Classic itself were
two Aggie defeats; a last-minute
68-66 Friday night loss to Kent
State and a 78-69 thumping Sat
urday by the Nebraska Corn-
huskers in the consolation play
off. A&M led in both games at
halftime but couldn’t seem to
get rolling in the second half
as they saw their season mark
drop to 1-3 in preparation for
their encounter tonight at 8 in
G. Rollie White Coliseum against
Colorado State College. "
The taller Aggies won the bat
tle against the small Ohio school ?
(enrollment 28,000) on the boards
but couldn’t get any scoring from
their inside men. Tom Lagodich
of Kent, a 6-7 sharpshooter from
outside, burned the net for 23
points including the tying bucket,
66-66, with two minutes left in
the game. Although it was the
first time that Kent had been
tied since the first quarter, they
didn’t waste the opportunity.
Mike Foote, a 6-0 guard, hit a
15-foot jumper with only four
seconds left to snap the tie and
send the Golden Flashes into the
finals against the Houston Cou
gars, who had racked up the
Cornhuskers 112-82 in the opener
on Friday.
Saturday also found A&M on
the downswing as they were out-
rebounded for the first time this
year by an aggressive Nebraska
squad. Leroy Chalk responded to
the call as he dragged down 17
rebounds by himself to only 20
in all by the Aggies. The Cadets
led in this contest most of the
way too, but the Cornhuskers
grabbed the lead 63-61 in a goal
tending call against Aggie post
man Steve Niles and never looked
back.
Later, Kent State forced the
Cougars into ‘‘doing things they
didn’t want to do,” according to
Houston coach Guy Lewis.
The Golden Flashes played out
standing defense and relied on
the outside shooting of Lago
dich to give the lackluster Coug
ars a real scare until the final
eight minutes when Houston took
command and went on to wii
74-67. A&M’s Mike Heitmann was
named to the All-Classic team
for his performance in both con
tests.
The Aggies play their last
game before the holidays begin
tonight as they host the 1-4 Beai
from Greeley, Colo. Saturday
night the Bears played Rice ii
Houston and fell to the rejuv
enated Owls 88-67. Gametime ii
8 p.m. with a preliminary gai
