It took the Aggie Ladies a little
me to pull out a 73-69 win over
SMU Tuesday night in Dallas.
■ Coach Cherri Rapp said
fiK: Wednesday the team “played with
Ilf 4 lot of composure at the end of the
me” when it was four points
)wn, as the women came back to
attk lethe game and send it into over-
jme,
The Aggie Ladies missed a shot
otkia basket during the final seconds
of the game, but eventually took
>ay H’lheir second win of the season over
jrr. th' Mustangs. Rapp said that it
gas (ms “one of our better games” with
event ie team shooting well during the
icond half.
tedl Kelley Sullivan and Sheryl
givia Hark led the scoring for the Aggie
of tli wadies with 22 points each, with
t, Hi ’ammy Grafton adding 12.
Next up is a game against Texas
Tech in Lubbock on Feb. 14. The
Raiders have come away as win
ners in the past three games
against the Aggies this year, but
Rapp said that she is “hoping to
surprise them.”
“Their overconfidence might be
to our advantage,” she said.
If the Aggie Ladies do win
against Texas Tech, then they will
go on to the Texas Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women state tournament in De
nton on Feb. 19. The first round
game would be against Wayland
Baptist.

The Southwest Conference race
turned into a two-team affair Tues
day night and in a few days the
Arkansas Razorbacks and Houston
Cougars will determine if that
number is to be reduced to one.
Needing a win to keep within
range of the league-leading
Cougars, Arkansas rolled over the
Baylor Bears Tuesday evening,
67-50, and thus set up the biggest
game of the season in the SWC.
Houston (9-2) will visit Arkansas
(8-3) Saturday afternoon with the
league lead, and perhaps ulti
mately the regular season cham
pionship, on the line.
The remainder of the teams,
meanwhile, are merely jostling for
favorable placement in the post
season tournament and those suc
ceeding in improving their out
look Tuesday night were the Texas
Tech Red Raiders, Texas Lon
ghorns and Texas A&M Aggies.
Tech overcame a nine-point de
ficit in the second half and rallied
on the timely shooting of Clarence
Swannegan to down Rice, 61-55;
Vernon Smith and Reggie Roberts
combined to help the Aggies hold
off SMU, 61-56; and Ken Mont
gomery sank four free throws in
the final 40 seconds to bring the
Longhorns an 88-84 win over
TCU.
In Fayetteville, Baylor made a
game of it for 14 minutes, but then
the Arkansas full-court press be
gan to take effect. By the half the
Hogs had opened an 11-point lead
and the Bears could never
threaten in the second half.
Scott Hastings scored 22 to pace
the Razorbacks.
“We did a marvelous job getting
open shots,” said Arkansas coach
Eddie Sutton. “I’m beginning to
think we can play better against
zone than man to man. The middle
20 minutes of the game may have
been our best ever.”
“The determining part of game
was when we missed four straight
one and ones and five straight field
goals after it was tied at 22-22,”
said Baylor coach Jim Haller. “We
didn’t get what I’d call an out
standing performance from any
body. ”
Texas seemed on its way to an
easy victory, but things got a little
too close for comfort for the Lon
ghorns.
“A win is a win,” said Texas
coach Abe Lemons, whose team
led by 15 at the half. “But I kind of
feel like we lost.”
