Defensive play sparks Ag victory
Beat Virginia Commonwealth 98-84, play Indiana next
By MARK WEAVER
Sports Editor
Strong defensive play in the first
half put the Aggies ahead to stay as
they beat Virginia Commonwealth
98-84, improving their record to
3-1.
The game was marred by 48 per
sonal fouls as the officials seemed to
have a field day. At times, they
seemed determined to call fouls and

turnovers, even when there were
none to be called.
VCU jumped off to an early lead,
going ahead 4-0 in the first minute of
play. It was back and forth basket
ball until the clock read 11:03. An
assist by Mike Floyd to Jerry
Mercer for a layup put the Ags
ahead 17-16. They never lost the
lead after that point.
A&M continued to take advan
tage of turnovers by the Rams,
going ahead at halftime 54-30. VCU
could only hit 36 per cent from the
field in the first half, but the Ags hit
a strong 47 per cent. The Aggies also
led in rebounds at halftime, 28-23.
The second half started off com
pletely different than the first, with
both teams running and gunning.
The Ags increased their lead to 26
points early in the second half with
some hot shooting by Floyd, but the
Rams slowly pulled back.
VCU switched to a zone defense
in the second half and the Aggies
began shooting less and turning the
ball over more. But the Rams could
not overcome the big leag as the Ags
continued to put the ball in the buc
ket.
A&M hit a blistering 70 per cent
from the field in the second half,
although they did not shoot as much
as they did in the first half. VCU also
shot very well the second half, hit
ting 58 per cent from the field.
“Mike(Floyd) played probably his
best game of the year,” assistant
coach Norman Reuther said. Floyd
hit 15 points, had six assists and one
steal.
Asked about the zone defense the
Rams played in the second half,
Reuther said, “We were not moving
the ball quick enough. The change
of pace caught us off guard.”
Sonny Parker had another strong
game, leading the Ags in scoring
with 21 points. Barry Davis led both
teams in rebounding with 12, also
hitting 17 points.
Webb Williams had his best game
of the season with 17 points and five
rebounds. Jerry Mercer hit 13
points and had four rebounds.
“Jerry looked like his old self,”
Coach Shelby Metcalf said.
“Mercers play was a highlight of the
game.”
Other Aggies scoring were Cap

Chuck Tone with four and Ray

playmaker Keith Highsmith played
probably the biggest part for the
