Ags stage comeback to defeat Owls
Record crowd watches Knowles, Floyd guide A&M victory
By KEVIN COFFEY
Sports Editor
Everything necessary for a
classic Southwest Conference bas
ketball game was present in G.
Rollie White Coliseum Saturday
night. A record crowd of 8,140,
mixed with a late stage A&M
comeback, spelled a hardfought
80-79 Aggie victory over the Rice
Owls.
The Ags,didn’t get a piece of
the lead until just 2:24 remained
with Rice leading by as many as
nine midway through the final
period.

In the end it was Randy Know
les and Mike Floyd that put the
finishing blows to the fiesty Owls
of Coach Don Knodel.
Knowles, with another big sec
ond half effort, hit a three point
play with 27 seconds remaining
to give the Ags an 80-76 lead.
Floyd showed signs of breaking
a mid-season slump that has
hounded the 5-10 junior for the
last two weeks. He hit 11 of his
17 points in the second half while
doling out three assists.
Knowles, on the other hand,
kept the Ags in the ball game.
The Geneva, Ohio native has
made a habit of rallying the Ags
in the second half as he pushed
over the 20 point barrier for the
fourth straight game with late
surges. Scoring just six points
in the first half, Knowles added
18 in the stretch for 24 tallies.
The score was knotted six times
in the second half but Rice opened
a five point bulge with four min
utes remaining.
Knowles and Floyd then match
ed buckets as the lead continued
to see-saw.

tions and Knowles’ three-pointer
was the final blow,” said Knodel.
“We did everything but win.”
The often controversial Aggie
crowd drew nothing but praise
from the Rice mentor.
“The crowd was great and very
enthusiastic,” Knodel said. “I am
glad they thought enough about
Rice University to come out.”
Floyd was effervescent after
the contest. “I just had to break
out of this slump and get a few
breaks,” the Aggie guard said.
“I don’t know what I did any
different but it sure felt good.”
Jerry Mercer battled Rice’s
Danny Carroll on the boards all
night in a physical game that
saw 52 personal fouls whistled.
Mercer grabbed 15 carroms to
Carroll’s 12 leading A&M to a
49-38 rebound advantage. Mercer
tallied 14 points.
John Thornton added 10 points
and nine rebounds to the balanced
Aggie attack. Cedric Joseph hit
seven points, Charlie Jenkins four
along with a game high five as
sists, C. W. Guthrie three and
Mike Johnson two.
Carroll led the Rice scoring with
20 points. Scott Fisher added 18,
Charles Daniels 14, John Kabbes
12 and Tim Moriarty 11 as nine
players hit double figures.
Tonight the Ags are back on the
road, visiting Texas in Austin.
The Longhorns are the surprise
team of the conference. After
posting a 1-11 in pre-conference
action, Texas rolled to three
straight SWC victories before
falling to loop leader Texas Tech
Saturday.
While the Ags have not lost a
home game this season, the road
has been less than kind. A&M is
3-6 away from home, 0-2 in con
ference play.
Texas is led by super senior
Larry Robinson. Robinson sat out
conference action last year be
cause of a knee injury. He proved
he is healthy again as he hit 38
against the tough Red Raider de
fense.
Game time is 7:35 p. m.
