Coming off of their biggest win
this year in conference play the
Texas Aggies play host to the Texas
Tech Red Raiders Saturday night in
G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The Aggies enter tomorrow
night’s game one half a game behind
the University of Texas in South
west Conference play. The Aggies
are 3-1 in conference after Wednes
day night’s victory over Arkansas.
The Longhorns are 4-1 in confer
ence play.
And the Red Raiders, well they
play like they don’t know where
they ought to be. After jumping off
to an early season record ol 11-2
Tech has dropped two straight
games, both conference losses, to
Rice and SMU. The Red Raiders are
3-2 in SWC play.
“We’ve just been playing incon
sistent basketball our last two
games,” Tech Coach Gerald Meyers
said about his team’s two recent
losses. “We’re not shooting well and
our percentage is way down. But
we’ve been playing inconsistently
all season.
“We have a very young, inexperi
enced team that is going through
the stage of learning how to play
basketball at the major college level.
Our freshman (four on this year’s
team) are learning that they can’t
get away with the things they could
last season playing high school bas
ketball.
One of the freshman going
through the learning cycle under
Meyers is Jeff Taylor, one of the
most highly sought high school
seniors last year out of Hobbs,
N.M., High School. With the loss of
All-America Mike Russell last sea
son and the acquisition of Taylor this
year the Red Raiders have changed
their offensive philosophy this sea-

“We have different personnel on
this club, and because of that we’ve
added a running game to our of
fense,” Meyers said. “We re shoot
ing more and quicker on offense.
“This season we really don’t have
a true center, no one that we work
our offense around like we did with
Russell. So we’ve gone to a faster
game, not the power game we’ve
had in the past.
“Taylor has been playing a lot for
us thus far this season. He’s played
well on occasion, but has been in
consistent on others. But he’s mak
ing the transition into college ball
and will come around for us.”
Taylor is no stranger to Texas
A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf. Met
calf spoke at Taylor’s high school
awards banquet last year and invited
the guard to visit the Texas A6cM
campus. Taylor declined.
“When he (Taylor) was intro
duced he was described as ‘the next
NCAA all-American and next NBA
player from Hobbs High School. ’
Metcalf said. “Hobbs has a running
type of offense and Meyers prom
ised Taylor that if he carhe to Tech
they would play a running game. So
they do, every once in a while.’
The front line of Rynn Wright,
Vernon Smith and Rudy Woods is
Gerald Meyer’s main concern. He
feels rebounding will be the key if
Tech hopes to defeat the Aggies.
“Realistically, there’s no way we
can match-up with their front line,’
Meyer said “Our whole game plan
will be trying to beat them on the
boards and out rebound them.
Metcalf argued the point of
matching up with Tech.
“Don’t let Gerald fool you, Met
calf said. “With or without their
running game they can match-up
with us on the court. They have the
people to do it. ’
Metcalf holds no fear of the possi
bility that the Aggies may,
tionally down for the f tt l
after the victory over A,
Wednesday night.
“Whenever you win a
plus for the team," M et J
"After our win over Keny

Illinois tlie next night) Bui
le; uned a valuable lesson
experience.
"Plus we’ve had a few
tween games to get our J
what we have to do against]
These guys know that there's]
stake with this game.’’
