Aggies shoot down
Mustangs 92-56
By DAVID BOGGAN
Battalion Sports Editor
There was a movie made a couple
of years back which asked the ques
tion “They Shoot Horses, Don’t
They?” Wednesday night the Texas
A&M basketball team answered that
question as the Aggies shot the
wounded SMU Mustangs right off
the floor of G. Rollie White Col
iseum 92-56.
An extremely humane Shelby
Metcalf showed mercy on the
Ponies, who were playing without
their star freshman, Billy Allen. The
Aggie coach had all five of his hot
handed starters as well as David
Britton, the game’s leading scorer,
on the bench with 3:45 left in the
game. Texas A&M led at that point
81-49.
“When all of the starters are on
the bench we know we’ve done
good,” Aggie guard Dave Goff said.
And what do the first five do to oc
cupy their time on the sideline after
their job is done?
“Most of the time we talk about
the class we re going to tomorrow,”
Britton answered.
Uh, right, David.
More likely Britton was thinking
about the score the Aggies were
about to settle with the Mustangs.
SMU gave Texas A&M one of its
two conference losses earlier in the
season.
“We knew we were one of the
best teams in the conference, and
we lost to them after they got beat
by Rice,” Britton said of the Aggies’
78-76 loss in Dallas. “Now the
whole team is playing good. We re
relating to each other and it’s fun.
“Before the conference games,
we were playing powerhouses and it
was easy getting up for them and it
was fun. We were traveling and we
weren’t going to school. It was like
the NBA. Then we came in and had
trouble getting up for some of our
conference games. Now we re get
ting our spark back.”
The Aggies were sparked to an
early lead when the Mustangs failed
to hit a field goal until almost 7Vfe
minutes were gone in the first half.
Texas A&M led 39-25 at halftime.
“We were loose and it helped us
tonight,” Goff said. “In the first 10
minutes we weren’t playing that
good. But because we were loose we
didn’t have to worry about it.
The Aggies didn’t have much to
worry about all night. The Mustangs
never got closer to the lead than the
0-0 tie they were spotted at the be
ginning of the game.
“They would have had a better
game with Billy Allen in there,”
Vernon Smith said. Allen, who av
erages 15 points per game, was
sidelined with pneumonia. “He
might have shot some Shots those
other guards wouldn’t shoot."
Metcalf said that things would not
have changed much even if Allen
had suited up for the Ponies.
“It hurt them, there’s no doubt
about it,” the Aggie coach said. “But
I don’t think it made that much dif
ference.
“I think David Britton is getting
used to the conference now and he
realizes that it takes a little more in
tensity. He is getting smarter and
more serious. The nice thing about
having David on the bench is that
he can substitute for everybody out
there.”
Britton came off the bench and
led the Aggies with 18 points. Smith
scored 16, Rudy Woods had 15 and
Tyrone Ladson hit 10 as Texas A&M
made 52.9 percent of its field goals
in the game. Brad Branson led SMU
with 11 points as the Mustangs hit
30.9 percent from the floor. The
Aggies out-rebounded the Ponies
46-33.
Metcalf said that the reason Texas
A&M lost to SMU the first time
stemmed from the fact that the Ag
gies lost some intensity after doing
well in the early-season
ments.
“We came back and just
work hard enough," he
turned it around because*;
