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-

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. Rol-
lie.
