When the Arkansas Razorbacks
play the Texas A&M Aggies tonight,
they may be playing against more
than just the five men on the court.
The sixth man, or factor in this
case, is the University’s very own G.
Rollie White Coliseum.
But before you run to your local
bookie betting your life’s savings on
the Aggies because they have the
home court advantage, you better
remember what’s happened in the
Southwest Conference so far and
what the home court advantage has
meant.
The lowly, or so they used to be,
Rice Owls travelled to Lubbock and
beat the red-hot Raiders of Texas
Tech. Then there was Texas which
went to the hills of Arkansas and de
feated the previously undefeated
Razorbacks in Fayetteville.
And who would have thought the
Houston Cougars could lose three
games in Hofheinz Pavilion in a
year, much less in a row. The Coogs
managed to lose by one to Arkansas,
and get blown out by Texas and the
Aggies.
Yet the Aggies’ G. Rollie White
Coliseum could really make the dif
ference according to Arkansas head
coach Eddie Sutton.
“G. Rollie may be the toughest
place in the conference to win a
game,’ Sutton said. “The crowd has
great enthusiasm and are as loud as
anywhere we’ve played. But the
difference is that they do it in a nice
way.
“The fans are very controlled and
enthusiastic at A&M,” he said. “I
think our two schools have a very
friendly rivalry. We enjoy playing at
G. Rollie because it is fun to play
there.
“In fact, the four times I have
taken a team down there I think the
biggest point spread was two points
and I’m sure tonight will be no dif
ferent. ”
Sutton should get all the “fun
and “enthusiasm” he can handle as
the game with Arkansas is sold out.
But how will the Hogs handle the
five men on the court?
“You can’t center on just one per
son and say ‘we re gonna shut him
down’ against a team like Texas
A&M,” Sutton said. “They (the Ag
gies) have five starters who can
score 20 points on any given night.
And (Tyrone) Ladson is a sixth man
who can score as much as anyone.
So it’s very hard to stop a well-
rounded team like A&M. They
definitely have one of the best teams
in the country.
The Aggies are well-rounded. All
five of the starters made an all-
tournament team in at least one of
the three holiday tournaments they
played in.
The Ags will be hard to stop of
fensively. Vernon Smith is averag
ing 16.3 points a game, Rynn
Wright is averaging 13.3 points,
Rudy Woods 14.1, David Britton
12.9, Dave Goff 5.4, and Ladson is
coming off the bench with a 13.3 av
erage shooting 67 percent from the
field.
“I would have to say Texas A&M
is playing the most consistent bas
ketball in the conference, Sutton
said. “They had the toughest non
conference schedule and had some

very impressive wins.
The Razorbacks come to Aggie-
land after losing to North Carolina
Sunday on national television.
“We didn’t shoot well, said Sut
ton, “we could never quite get over
the hump and get ahead of them.
We re still a pretty young team and
we knew we would have to play
very, very well to beat North
Carolina at home. Another problem
we had is that (Arkansas senior Sid
ney) Moncrief wasn’t playing full
speed due to an injury. He can play
fine, he s just slowed down a little.
“But I have been pleased with the
team’s performance so far, he said.
