Downtown Bryan (212 N. Main) and Culpepper Plaza United Press International BATON ROUGE, La. — Texas A&M stopped Louisiana State’s leading scorer, Durand “Rudy” Macklin, but it didn’t slow the South eastern Conference champion Tigers from dominating the Aggies and inheriting the title to the longest win streak in the nation. The fourth-ranked Tigers, now 26-1, hit a torrid 64 percent from the field in the first half Sunday, romping to an easy 67-57 non-conference win behind sophomore Howard Carter's game high 21 points. “Our players were psyched up this afternoon. I thought our game controlled the tempo,” said LSU coach Dale Brown, whose team clinched the Southest Conference championship Saturday on a pair of last-second free throws in a 66-65 win over Tennessee. The win, coupled with Notre Dame’s 57-56 win snapping Virginia’s 28-game streak Sunday, gives LSU claim to the country’s longest win string. The Tigers also are unbeaten in 16 SEC matches. “Our defense at times was fantastic,” Brown said. “It may have been our best defensive effort of the year. “They were really tough on Macklin (four points),” he added. “At times, they wer.e double and triple-teaming him but he didn’t pout because he wasn’t getting his average. We sacrificed him. He gave up a lot this afternoon to play his role.” Texas for an < day ag of 9,50 “We do have a lot of sure point! in certain events,” he said, we can’t win on just a few places.
