many students, when Shelby Met
calf first led his kindergarten bas
ketball team onto the court of G.
Rollie White.
That November night about 500
people witnessed the beginning of
what was to be the most surprising
season for coach Metcalf since com
ing to Texas A&M. After watching
the youngins’ defeat members of
past A&M teams in an intra-squad
game, not many of those fans
entertained any thoughts of being in
the Southwest Conference (SWC)
Tournament in March.
But they are.
This Thursday night at 7p.m. the
Aggies will play the Houston
Cougars. It has been a game A&M
has looked forward to since losing to
the Coogs 116-83.
“We want to play Houston,”
Wally Swanson said after Saturday’s
game with SMU, “and show them
what kind of team we really are.”

thing, not frozen or

Senior Steve Jones had his own
thoughts upon the subject.
“We got something to show
them,” Jones said. “We ll be ready
for those guys this time.”
A&M earned the right to face the
Cougars by defeating SMU 89-79.
Using a grand display of offensive
shooting, coupled with a strong de
fensive showing, the Aggies led
from the start and were never se
riously threatened.
“A&M was just too tough today,”
Mustang coach Sonny Allen said.
“They shot the eyes out of the bas
ket and were aggressive on defense.
We made some mistakes in some
key moments and were never able
to make a run at them.”
The Aggies shot 57 per cent from
the field. This is the best shooting
percentage for A&M this year.
Swanson collected 26 points and
nine rebounds in leading the Ags to
victory. Jones had 24 points for his
afternoon s work.
“We knew we’d win if we played
as well as we did against Arkansas,”
Jones said. “Even when they made
a run at us we were never worried.
Now were in the tournament.
That’s something I’ve believed we
could do since the beginning of the
season.”
Dave Goff also had a good game
for the Aggies, scoring 14 points.
The freshman guard has had a long
season, with the Mustang game
being the first one he has not
started.
“David had a good game for us,”
coach Metcalf said. “We have tried
to rest him these past few games
and I think it showed this after-
from Goff if they want todefei!]
Cougars. The guard playwasij
factor in the Aggies defeating
Mustangs so easily.
Swanson will need to |
hoop as often as he did i
SM U. The center from 1

Swanson also will need I

Goff has had his best games of the
season against the Mustangs.
“I like to play everybody,” Goff
said. “My legs felt real good today.
Things really opened up when they
tried to play us man-on-man. They
just didn’t know how.”
