The Red Raiders came into town tied with the Aggies and the Southern Methodist Mus tangs for the top spot in the league. SMU beat Baylor 74-70, to set the stage for a showdown in Dallas Saturday. Should the Aggies win and the Mustangs defeat the Rice Owls in Houston, Saturday’s winner would be in undisputed first place in the SWC with six games to play.

With 2:21 left, he tied Richard Little, then out-jumped him to tip the ball to Randy Knowles. Brown edged his way to the basket, working in with his back turned, and made a short jump shot. This tied it at 60 with 2:04 to play. The defense stiffened, and A&M got the ball on a missed shot. They took their time, working for a sure shot, but Brown drove for the basket with a minute and a half remaining. A behind-the- back pass gave Overhouse an easy crip shot, and the Aggies were in command, 62-60. The next time down, Brown drove again, this time putting it up himself. The shot was good, but the junior college transfer was called for charging. Palomar made only one of the free throws, giving the Aggies a 64-61 lead with 35 seconds left. Knowles was fouled while re bounding the missed penalty toss, and the 6-6 sophomore made both ends of a one-and-one to make it 66-61 with 31 to go. From there, it was all over, with Tech dropping to 10-8 on the year and 4-2 in loop play. “When it got down to where they had to play tough, they kept their heads and did a good job,” Coach Shelby Metcalf said. “I’ve never had a group work harder than these guys.
