they host Southern Methodist
University. Monday’s opponent

former collegiate and professional
players. The game is in conjunc
tion with the Campus Crusade for

Defense has been the strong
suit for A&M, with the Aggies
holding their last four opponents
under 70 points. In winning the
title in the Presidential Classic,
A&M beat George Washington
72-64 and Virginia Tech 66-62 in

was credited with 30 rebounds in
the two-day tourney. He hit on
15 of 16 free throws in the two
games. Howard had 26 points
and 23 rebounds, with Brown
making 17 points in addition to
his flashy ball handling.
Threadgill contributed 18 points
and hauled in 16 rebounds, and
Duplantis grabbed 12 caroms and

Good performances from the
bench by Gobin and Knowles were
factors in the outcome of both
games.

by virtue of his fine shooting. He
hit seven of 10 shots from the
field and seven of nine from the
free throw line. Knowles scored
13 points and got 14 rebounds.
A&M shot only a little over
37% from the field in both
games, but both norms were bet
ter than the opposition’s. The
Aggies out-rebounded Virginia
Tech 64-62 and George Washing
ton 57-46.

tournament, A&M took the lead
