Arkansas not quite good enough
Ags beat ‘other' team, 45-3j
l By TONY GALLUCCI
Sports Editor
“It is too early, too early to come to
any conclusions,” said head coach
Shelby Metcalf after his Aggie bas
ketball squad marched to a 45-39 win
last night over Arkansas. In referring
to the Southwest Conference (SWC)
state of affairs he said, “This is not
like the Iowa caucus.”
Unlike the polls, a packed house of
8,030 watched David Britton, Rudy
Woods, Vernon Smith, Rynn
Wright, Dave Goff and assistants
polish off the ‘other’ major contender
in the race for the SWC crown. Play
ing their defensive game like Boris
Spassky, A&M held the usually hot
handed Razorbacks to 45 percent
accuracy from the field and to their
lowest point total in 20 games.
The win gives A&M a perfect 6-0
record in conference play and a one
game edge over Arkansas, now 5-1,
and Texas Tech, idle last night. The
Aggies season record is upped to 14-
5, also tops in the league.
Playing their already superior, but
still improving, man-to-man defense
and hitting tough inside turnaround
jumpers, A&M roared to an early 6-2
lead. Britton slammed a windmill
dunk after a beautiful rebound and
outlet pass from Woods to make it
8-2 and Arkansas coach Eddie Sutton
called a timeout.
Arkansas, without a point for five
minutes, quickly closed the gap to
8-7. Woods responded with one of
his three-for-three field goals in the
form of a dunk.
With their tiringly patient offen
sive game, though, Arkansas kept
the game close for a short while
more, tying it up once at 15-15 with
8:57 remaining in the first half. The
Ags ruled the next six minutes, hold
ing Arkansas scoreless again, and
tossing in eight for the biggest lead of
the night. Steals under the Arkansas
basket by Goff and Claude Riley
were crucial in that run.
Metcalf inserted the slow-down
David Britton dunks
offense with five and a half minutes
remaining in the half. Arkansas was
still able to add six more points be
fore the half, all on free throws. They
narrowed the A&M lead to three be
fore the buzzer but A&M led 24-20
at the half.
Arkansas came back from the lock
er room ready to play and quickly
narrowed the lead to 24-22 and 26-25
before jumping into a tie and then
the lead at 31-29 on a shot by U.S.
Reed.
Arkansas had garnered as much as
a four point lead at 33-29 and 35-31
when Sutton was hit with a technic
al. Sutton, who had said, “some
times you just have to take a technic
al,” after his Hogs came back from a
15 point deficit against Houston last
week, found his strategy none too
successful this time. Goff hit one of
the two free throws awarded and
Vernon followed a shot On the in
bound play to make the score 36-35

in favor of the Ags again.
The Aggies, instructed to press,
played perhaps their toughest de
fense of the evening both on the trips
down the court and under the basket
and it payed off. They never again
lost control of the game. Hastings,
vital to the Razorbacks at the post,
fouled out with 6:30 to go in the
game and Sutton’s ever present
towel dangled limply at his side.
Prime-time rebounding by Smith
and Wright and cool Ag heads at the
free throw line kept Arkansas from
exploiting numerous late game
opportunities. A block by Woods
with six seconds left was only salt in
the wound.
Britton had 13 points to lead Aggie
scorers, and Smith and Wright each
tossed in ten. Goff and Woods had
six each to round out Aggie scoring.
Woods also pulled down six re
bounds, while Smith and Wright
each collected five.
Hastings led Hog scorers with 11
points and Reed added 10. Each of
them had five rebounds. No other
Razorback had more than four points
or two rebounds.
“Texas A&M has a great team and
played extremely well,” said Sutton.
“Their defense was very good and
their crowd gave them quite a lift.”
“It was kind of what we expected,
you know,” said Wright. “They had a
tight zone and we expected that. The
press didn’t bother us either, we can
usually break up a press pretty
easily.”
Metcalf was adamant about the
turning point, “They got out ahead of
us and then we went into the press.
It kind of changed the tempo — it
picked it up — and they started put
ting the ball up quicker,” he said.
“They were having trouble with the
press. We started moving on the
offensive end. The press helped us
two ways. It got us moving and
speeded up the tempo a little bit.
Then we got out ahead of them and it
was our turn.”
