Texas A&M is bent on keeping
e National Invitation Tournament
ampionship in the Lone Star
ite.
The University of Texas won the
T crown last year; the Texas Ag-
3S are convinced they can do the
me in 1979.
A&M defeated favored Nevada-
no 67-64 in a second round game
onday night and has the advan-
e of a home court when the Ag-
s meet Alabama Thursday night,
erything is big in Texas, except
rhaps the Aggies’ own field
use|where the seating capacity is
00.
nstead, the Crimson Tide game
Ibe played at Houston’s Summit,
ere 15,676 can crowd into the
na and shout support for their
ne state favorite.
Our forwards have played excep-
nalg mes in this tournament,’’
mments Texas A&M Coach
elby Metcalf. “And they play well
der pressure. We might get beat,
but it won’t be from pressure. We ll
blame it on the sun or moon.”
Vernon Smith and Rynn Wright
combined for 35 points against
Nevada-Reno and dominated the
boards.
Alabama can compete with the
Texans under the boards. The Tide
proved this point by out rebounding
Virginia 53-33 while edging the
Cavaliers, 90-88. They also have 6-6
Reggie King, who scored 26 points
against Virginia after suffering a
dizzy spell earlier in the day.
In the other third round matchup
Thursday night, 14th ranked Pur
due, the only rated team in the NIT,
plays Old Dominion at West
Lafayette, Ind.
Despite co-holding the Big Ten
title with Michigan State and Iowa,
Purdue was passed over for NCAA
consideration.
The winners of Thursday’s games
move on to the semifinal round next
Monday night at Madison Square
Garden in New York. Indiana and
UNCH SPECIAL
Ohio State play the second half of
the doubleheader that evening. The
championship game is scheduled for
Wednesday night, March 21, at the
Garden.
Purdue emerged from second
round action with an 84-70 victory
over Dayton. Joe Barry Carroll, a
7-1 center, led the Boilermakers
with 25 points.
The Boilermakers’ ability to
switch defenses, from a zone to a
man-to-man, could cause Old
Dominion some problems. OD also
has a strong defense, taking Clem-
son into double overtime Monday
night and beating the favored Ti
gers, 61-59. In addition, the team
from Virginia has the knack of scor
ing the winning basket in the wan
ing seconds. OD won five games
this season in the last five seconds.
Ohio State earned its trip to the
semifinals by defeating Maryland
79-72, and Indiana stopped pre
viously unbeaten Alcorn State,
73-69.
