We had David Britton and Arkansas didn t. “ — Shelby Metcalf One year ago you wouldn’t have heard Texas A&M head basketball coach Shelby Metcalf heap that kind of praise on David Britton. But then, Britton didn’t lead the Aggies to the Southwest Conference basketball championship last year. Britton, who was named the SWC tournament’s Most Valuable Player, went on a 10-point scoring streak that started at 11:31 in the second half and lasted until 6:36. All 10 points came off the Aggies’ four- corner offense which is centered around Britton who is one of the best one-on-one players in the confer ence. Britton finished the game with 23 points and three assists as the Aggies defeated the Hogs 52-50. “David takes advantage of the situation,” Metcalf said. “His one- on-one ability makes him hard to cover in that situation and the good thing is, he doesn’t just score, he gets a lot of assists off the four-comers. “We never ran a four-corner offense until David came to A&M. Heck, when he was in junior college, they sometimes would start the game in the four-corners but we ha ven’t gone that far. We usually go into it when we start losing momentum.” While Britton’s spinning drives and free-throw shooting kept the Hogs at bay on the offensive end, the monstrous Aggie defense led by Rynn Wright held Arkansas’ usually high-percentage shooting team under 50 percent for the game. The Razorbacks shot a poor 42.9 percent from the field for the game yet that was better than the Ags’ 41.0 per- Ag women place fifth cent. The Aggies won the game at the free-throw line sinking 20 of 28 while the Hogs hit eight of nine. The Aggies’ switched from zone defense to zone defense and kept Arkansas confused as the Razorbacks forced shot after shot. “We just outplayed ’em,” Britton said. “We out-talented them also. Once we get ahead and go into the four-comers, we know we can win. This is the way it’s supposed to be because all the teams finished the same they were seeded in the tour nament. “We came in No. 1 and finished No. 1.” A great part of the Aggies’ tourna ment success was due to Wright who played consistently well in both the Texas Tech and Arkansas victories. The Aggies, 24-7 for the year, now head to Denton where they will play Missouri Valley Conference winner, Bradley University. The winner of that game will play Louisville.

The invitational, won by Florida State, was a “flight tournament,” in which there is a separate tournament division for each team ladder posi tion. For example, all of the number one players were in one division, all the number two players were in another division, up to six divisions for singles and three for doubles. There was also a consolation tour nament in each division for players defeated in the first round. Terri Neutze was the only tourna ment winner for Texas A&M. Neutze took first place in the num ber four singles consolation tourna ment, winning her final match by default against Linda Pavlouich from Florida Southern. Pavlouich had to leave before playing her final match. Texas A&M’s top doubles team, Maylyn Hooten and Neutze, and the number three doubles team, Kath leen Sissom and Lilliana Fernandez, both made it to semifinals in their divisions. Hooten-Neutze were defeated by the number one seed from Florida State 6-4, 6-3. Sissom-Fernandez lost to a doubles team from North east Louisiana University 6-3, 6-4. The team’s next match will be a dual match against Southwest Texas State University. The two teams will play Thursday at 1:30 p.m. on the Texas A&M varsity courts.
