MU wins battle, 69-65 THE BATTALION Page 11 WEDNESDAY, FEB. 11, 1976 Ags drop into second with loss By TONY GALLUCCI Battalion Staff Writer 'he Aggies dropped their second J game of the year last night in ( , tw as in a fiercely competitive game nst SMU. The Mustangs won the iree-marred game 69-65 before gest crowd ever to watch bas- at Moody Coliseum, 9,876. iTerrell, highly touted Mustang iter led all scorers with 26 points fled a late-game rally that put |U on top. / Terrell took the ball in for a layup neon 13 1/2 minutes left in the game oke a 63-63 tie. One minute the pumped in a short jumper to ie Mustangs the final margin in ine. “ Czec!|g| e ree Paul Galvan called s the most controversial foul !i the year when he whistled Barry r > a ? f iis for a charge underneath. The en,t licet was made on a routine re ft followup. It appeared that st bilgll l )ac ] gone up with Davis on e ^ Botand apparently was whistled el"’ for the foul. But Galvan, approach ing the scorers’ desk, ruled the bas ket no good and called the charge on Davis. Head coach Shelby Metcalf, appa rently angered by the call, kicked the scorers’ table and had to be re strained by assistant coach Norman Reuther. He drew a technical foul seconds later for throwing a chair on the playing court. The three-point play expected would have given the Ags a two- point lead, but the technical, and the ensuing basket put SMU ahead by four. Adding insult to injury, referee John Ashmore called Karl Godine for blocking just minutes later as Godine stood still on the court and was broadsided by an SMU player. The Ags managed to survive the adversity and once again moved into a tie at 63-63 from which point the rugged SMU press took over and Aggie mistakes took their toll. The Ags might have had one last chance, but the refs eliminated that also. Davis connected on two free throws to narrow the margin to four. The Mustangs took the ball out of bounds with 23 seconds showing on the clock. The Aggie press held the Ponies inside the time line as the seconds ticked off. A whistle blew as Mike Jaccar stepped across the line and Ray Roberts wrapped his arms around him in desperation. The in tentional foul was called, but the refs failed to recognize the 16 seconds it took for SMU to cross the line. The teams played, in Metcalfs words, “extremely hard”, though ac cording to SMU coach Sonny Allen neither team played well. The “Barry and Sonny Show” per formed as scheduled with Sonny P netting 24 points and Davis collect ing 19. Davis also gathered in 15 re bounds and Parker obtained nine. On one incredible Sonny P shot, as sistant coach Norman Reuther com mented, "That was the greatest play in the history of the Southwest Con ference.” Nobody argued. In the touted matchup between Parker and Terrell, Terrell won the scoring battle this time, Parker took it in College Station. Important though was the fact that Parker, an outside man, tied Terrell on the boards, each collecting nine re bounds. Davis and Swanson (10) both outrebounded Terrell, the con ference’s leading rebounder. As a team the Ags outmuscled the Ponies on the boards, 54-43 but lost out in several crucial statistics. The Ags were outshot 44.3 to 36.5 per cent from the field. SMU choked at the line however especially in the final minutes. Despite SMU’s pick ing up only 14 fouls to the Aggies 23, the Ponies got only 15 chances at the free throw line and hit only seven of those shots. The Aggies connected on 11 of 12. The Aggies were out-assisted 20-13 and committed seven more turnov- iana, Maquette hold on [ top spots; N-LV drops INTRAMURALS INTRAMURAL BASKET BALI. ers than the home team. Both teams were credited with five blocked shots, but SMU came up with eight steals due mostly to the tough press. A&M stole the ball but three times . Metcalf was emphatic after the game, "Regardless of what happened here, we had to beat Tech. Winning this game would’ve taken the pres sure off us down in Houston.” Com menting on the second straight Aggie shooting percentage in the thirties, Metcalf said, “I am disap pointed in our shooting. 1 thought we played good defense. “There were two turning points, the first when we had a three point lead. Right there we should’ve gone ahead and won the ball game. I doubt seriously if SMU could play us man. I don’t want to take anything away from SMU, they played a very fine game.” The Aggies drop to 9-2 in confer ence play and are now a half-game back of Texas Tech, setting up the showdown this Saturday in G.
