A disruptive fight and some
missed free throws failed to stop
the Aggies in Waco Tuesday
night, as they stayed in a tie for
first place in the Southwest Con
ference with a 101-95 overtime
win over the Baylor Bears.
Southern Methodist defeated
Texas Tech, 87-73, in Dallas to
remain tied with A&M at 8-3.
Tech, Texas and Texas Christian
are tied for third, 7-4.
A brawl erupted with 8:01 re
maining in regulation play, and
the game was held up for some
time while players were cleared
from the court and fans were
ushered back to their seats.
Vehement protests of numer
ous calls made by referees Percy
Penn and Bob Smith were ig
nored, and several players were
allowed to hold individual battles
during the course of the incon
sistently called game.
Coach Shelby Metcalf of A&M
was assessed a technical foul
less than a minute before the
fight began. Twice during the
game Metcalf threw his coat
down and kicked over a chair
when his pleas for better quality
officiating went unanswered.
The Aggies hit only 17 of 33
free throws, but a field goal per
centage of 57.5 made the differ
ence, as three starters scored 20
or more points and Wayne How
ard came off the bench to con
tribute 16.
The Bears jumped out in front,
14-5, four and a half minutes
into the contest, but the Aggies
bounced back to lead 31-30 10
minutes later on a short jump
shot by Jeff Overhouse. Much
of A&M’s scoring in the effort
here was from Howard, who con
nected on seven of 12 from the
field and two of five free throws
during the game.
Overhouse was the leading
scorer for the Aggies with 22.
He led all rebounders by hauling
in 12 caroms. The 6-7 junior
fouled out with two seconds left
in the game, but he had earlier
injured his leg when the officials
allowed several players to strug
gle for possession of the ball
while they were piled up on the
court.
Randy Knowles scored 21, hit
ting 10 of 17 from the field and
one free throw, in addition to
getting eight rebounds. Mario
Brown finished with 20 points,
the result of making eight of 15
field goal tries and four of nine
charity tosses. Bobby Threadgill
had 10 rebounds.
A&M built its 39-37 halftime
lead into a 65-54 advantage at
the 8:53 mark, but Baylor picked
up steam after the fight. The
volleys of paper cups fired
throughout the game finally
shell-shocked the Aggies, too,
and the Bears began closing the
gap-
The Aggies scored but six
points in the final 5:35 of regu
lation play, and a Lee Griffin
jump shot from eight feet tied
it at 83 with 2:38 to play. A&M
went ahead on a 20-foot jump
shot by Knowles, but a 10-footer
by Tom Stanton sent the battle
into overtime.
The teams traded baskets and
free throws for four minutes of
the extra period, but Baylor
could get no more after reaching
the 95 level. Thveadgill hit a lay
up, Brown converted a one-and-
one, and Rick Duplantis dropped
in an easy layup to end it all
Stanton was the leading scoi
for Baylor with 27. Roy Thom
had 19, followed by Pat Ff
with 17 and Adam West with
West was the leading reboum
for the Bears with 10.
Much of the animosity t!
persisted during the game 1
between Brown and Stanton,'
two were involved in an indj
in the first meeting of the
schools in which Stanton, sit;
on the bench, threw water
Brown.
The scoring:
A&M — Jeff Overhouse, ?!
Randy Knowles, 21; Merit
Brown, 20; Wayne Howard,]!
Bobby Threadgill, 8; Rick Di-
plantis, 8; Bob Gobin, 8; u
Brad Pauley, 2.
