THE BATTAUhe BA1
Holiday tournament action brings Aggies 9 cage record to 44 ]c|j
By JOHN CURYLO
Battalion Sports Editor
The Aggie basketball team
travels to Washington, D. C. Fri
day to play in the Presidential
Classic after losing both its
games in the Lobo Invitational
in Albuquerque and taking the
consolation championship in the
Bluebonnet Classic in Houston
last week.
A&M lost to New Mexico, 95-
73, and to Creighton, 100-77, in
the Lobo Tournament, but Jeff
Overhouse was named to the all
tournament team. Turnovers
were the main trouble for the
Aggies, but these problems were
taken care of by the time the
Bluebonnet rolled around.
Overhouse earned a spot on
the all-tourney unit in the As
trodome classic, as the Aggies
of Coach Shelby Metcalf fell to
Michigan State, 67-65, and de
feated LSU, 73-68. MSU’s vic
tory was in the final seconds of
the contest, which saw Over-
house sit out over 15 minutes of
the first half with three fouls.
The tourney marked the emer
gence of Bobby Threadgill as a
starter. The 6-4 senior scored 20
points and gathered 15 rebounds
in the two games. Against LSU,
Threadgill was credited with
seven steals. His defensive play
was a key to the two lowest
point totals allowed by the Ag
gies this year. He had 13 of his
points against Michigan State.
Overhouse scored 30 points in
the LSU game, playing the entire
40 minutes without a substitu
tion. In addition to his totals of
39 points and 20 rebounds in the
two-day affair, the 6-7 junior
blocked three shots against the
Spartans.
Mario Brown, the 6-2 guard,
chipped in 28 points in the tour
nament, 16 against Michigan
State and 12 against LSU.
Brown was credited with eight
assists in the two games.
The Michigan State game was
close throughout. The contest
was tied five times, with the
widest margin being the Spar
tans’ six-point advantage eight
times during the battle. The Ag
gies hit 40.6% of their shots
from the field, with Michigan
State making 46.7% of their at
tempts.
With 6:30 to plhy in the game,
Michigan State took a 60-54 lead.
This diminished quickly, how
ever, with Threadgill hitting a
corner jump shot, Overhouse
making a free throw and then
popping the net on a short jump
er to pull A&M within a point,
60-59.
At 3:54, Overhouse was good
on a driving layup to push the
Aggies ahead, 61-60. A jump
shot by William Kilgore gave the
Spartans a 62-61 lead with 2:18
showing, and a free throw by
Michael Robinson made it 63-61.
Wayne Howard’s corner jump
shot tied it up with 1:15 remain
ing.
MSU went ahead to stay with
41 seconds left on a drive by
Kilgore. The Aggies made sev
eral attempts to tie it up again,

but a missed rebound was
knocked out of bounds and an
inbounds pass after a timeout
was stolen. This forced A&M to
foul intentionally, and Brian
Breslin made two free throws to
make it 67-63 with 10 seconds
left. Bob Gobin hit a jump shot
at the end of the game to bring
the final score of 67-65.

The LSU game was highlight
ed by a large Aggie lead, then a
rally by the Tigers, but the big
excitement was Press Maravich’s
ejection from the game when the
veteran coach was charged with
three consecutive technical fouls
near the end of the first half.
The first half saw the lead
bounce back and forth, but the
Aggies surged in the last two
minutes on a tip by Overhouse,
a jumper by Duplantis and a pair
of free throws by the 6-8 senior.
Howard converted two of the
free shots after Maravich’s tech
nicals, and Duplantis connected
on a jumper three seconds be
fore intermission to give A&M
a 42-30 lead.
The Aggies kept pouring it on
in the second period, boosting the
margin to 19 on a drive by
Brown midway in the half. With
the score 61-42 at this point, the
Tigers fought back.
Steve Chidley hit a jump shot
with 2:32 left in the game to
make it 66-65. Brown hit a pair
of free throws, but Bill Newton
matched the feat, and it was 68-
67 with 2:10 to play. Threadgill
hit a charity shot half a minute
later to make two the margin.
With 1:10 remaining, LSU as
sistant coach Bill Bernbrock was
charged with a technical foul,
and the Tigers were given an
other right away. Overhouse
made both the free throws, mak
ing the score 71-67. Gobin fol
lowed 20 seconds later with two
more charity shots to put the
game out of reach for the Ben-
gals.
