It had been a bad week for the
Texas A&M basketball team. In their
first two SWC outings against Baylor
and Houston, the Aggies had two
losses.
After the first half of the SMU
game it didn’t appear the week was
going to wind down on a bright note.
Metcalf’s men trailed the Mustangs
40-28.
“I told our guys that we were a
better team than we were showing,”
coach Shelby Metcalf said. “I then
decided that the only chance we had

was to start Karl Godine and Jarvis
Williams and hope they played like
the Karl and Jarvis of old.
“They did. And that’s why we
won.”
Godine had 17 of his 18 points in
the second half. Williams added
seven points, but his strong inside
play on defense was his asset to the
78-71 A&M victory.
“It was about time for us to win,”
Godine said. “We’ve been playing
bad all along, but we showed what
we could do tonight. We came out in
the second half ready to play.”
It was the second game in a row
the Aggies played a strong second
half. Against the Houston Cougars
A&M trailed by as many as 26points.
In the final 15 minutes the Aggies cut
it to seven.
“We’re hoping that we can put two
halves together,” Metcalf said. “In
the Houston game we were just too
far behind. Tonight we stayed in
striking distance and were able to
win.
“Hopefully the guys will be able to
play two good halves by the time the
second round rolls around. We
might just surprise some people.”
The most pleasent surprise of the
last two games has been the play of
senior Willie Foreman. Against the
Mustangs, Foreman had 34 points
and eight rebounds. He kept the Ag
gies in the ball game in the first half
with his long outside shots.
“Foreman played a great game,”
SMU coach Sonny Allen said. “But
what hurt us worse was the play
under the boards. Those offensive
rebounds they scored counted just as
much as Foreman’s 30 footers.”
Metcalf concurred with Allen.
“Willie definitely found himself,”
Metcalf said. “But what really won
for us was the team’s rebounding.
We played unified under the boards
and were able to get second and third
shots. Anytime you can dominate the
offensive boards, then you should be
able to win.”
The leading rebounder for the Ags
was Rynn Wright. The freshman
from Dallas had 11 rebounds and five
points.
“Rynn really exploded when going
up for the rebounds,” Metcalf said.
“I’m really proud of him and Vernon
Smith. They have played with inten
sity all year long.”
A&M will need this intensity to
morrow night against Arkansas. The
Razorbacks will be coming home
after a loss to the Longhorns, and will
probably play one of their better
games of the season.
But this doesn’t bother the Aggies .
“We were ready to play Arkansas
tonight,” Foreman said after the
SMU game. “I don’t think we ll have
any problem getting psyched up for
them.”
Godine agreed with Foreman’s as-
sesment.
“It should be a real exciting
game,” Godine said. “Arkansas will
be tough, but I think we can beat
them if we play our type of game. ”
A key figure for the Aggies will be
point guard Dave Goff. The sopho
more from Illinois stands under six
feet tall, but he is the play-maker of
the team.
“Goff had a great game for us to
night,” Metcalf said. “He neu
tralized their guard in the second
half. I guess those point guards have
a union because they don’t like the
other guy to beat them. I hope he
plays a strong game next Tuesday
night. We’re going to need him.”
