The Longhorns scored nine of their last 13 points from the charity stripe as A&M could never close the gap.

Texas opened each half red hot, hitting 13 of their first 18 shots in the first half and their first six in the second stanza to build what turned out to be an insur mountable lead. Larry Robinson paced the 'Homs in the first half with 22 points. He hit 11 of 16 shots be fore John Thornton held the Longhorn star to eight in the second half. Sophomore Dan Krueger, however, hit 18 of his 24 in that final stanza to pick up the Texas scoring slack. The contest just might have been A&M’s finest effort of the season. The Aggies hit 35 of 71 shots, 49.3 per cent average. Texas jumped to a 16-point lead early in the second half but Randy Knowles and Mike Johnson picked away at the UT lead by hitting over the 'Homs sliding 1-3-1 zone defense. Knowles tied Robinson for high point honors with 30. Texas opened the final stanza, hitting everything they tossed up and Knowles kept the Aggies from being blown out of Gregory Gym. All his efforts went for naught. Every time A&M threat ened to pull within reach of the Longhorns, an untimely turnover resulted in a UT score. Texas won the battle of the boards, 48-34, and seemed to pick up every loose ball on the court. Mike Floyd and Charlie Jenkins tossed six assists each, mostly to Knowles under the bucket. Floyd finished wth 18 points hitting eight straight Aggie points at the end of the first half. Jenkins scored four points. Robinson was phenomenal the first half, hitting shots from all over the court. Injured last year throughout conference play with a broken kneecap, the senior for ward kept the Aggie zone run ning all over the floor. A&M cut the big Texas lead, courtesy of Knowles and Johnson. As the Aggie press began to force Texas into turnovers, both out side men began to hit to pull A&M to within four at 80-76. Texas, however, hit the next four points after Aggie miscues to put the game out of reach.

I’ve been coach ing here 17 years and I’ve never seen anything like it. Half the time they’d shoot before they got to our defense. When we moved out to pick them up earlier, they’d just hit from farther out. “Considering where they shot from,” Metcalf said, referring to the constant barrage of 25 to 30-foot UT scoring shots, “it was phenomenal.” Texas coach Leon Black also credited the outstanding shooting of his Longhorns for the win. “Our free throw shooting has improved and it kept us in the CEDRIC JOSEPH goes up for a shot over Texas' Tyros* Johnson (44) while Dan Krueger (21) and Larry Robinsor (41) look on.
