From staff and wire reports
The Southwest Conference
tournament opens in Lubbock,
Austin and College Station tonight
with Texas A&M winding up in
the same bracket as the Houston
Cougars and the regular season
champion Arkansas Razorbacks
finding the easiest path to the
tournament finals.
Saturday night’s final round of
regular season games left Texas
Tech, Texas and Texas A&M with
home-court berths in the opening
round of the tourney.
Tech will host last-place SMU,
Texas will be entertaining Rice
and Texas A&M will be at home
against TCU at 7:30 p.m.
The tournament then moves to
San Antonio Thursday night with
the Baylor Bears playing in the
first game of that evening’s double
header at 7 p.m. against the win
ner of the TCU-Texas A&M game.
The SMU-Texas Tech winner will
face the Rice-Texas winner in the
second game Thursday night.
On Friday evening Arkansas
will be in action at 7 p.m. against
the survivor of the SMU-Tech-
Rice-Texas end of the bracket
while Houston will enter the com
petition in the second game
against the team that makes it
through the Baylor-TCU-A&M
end of the bracket.
The championship game is set
for 8 p. m. Saturday night, the win
ner there earning an automatic bid
into the NCAA tournament.
Following an almost miraculous
turnaround, the Aggies find them
selves facing the Homed Frogs for
the third time this year, this time
in College Station.
The Frogs beat the Aggies 56-51
at Reunion Arena in the first con
ference game of the year on Jan. 3.
The Aggies played the Frogs
again on Feb. 24 in Fort Worth,
this time winning 59-57.
In that game Claude Riley was
high point man with 16 points.
Rynn Wright pitched in 14 points,
as did TCU’s Darrell Browder.
Texas A&M will have the
advantage, not only because of the
home court site, but also because
the Aggies have been on an up
surge lately.
However the players aren’t tak
ing the Frogs too lightly.
“They have a bunch of good
players, they all know their roles, ”
reserve guard Bruce Sooter said of
the Frogs.
TCU is led by 6-2 Darrell Brow
der and 6-5 Deckory Johnson but
get some needed help from 6-8
freshman Gilbert Collier.
“We have a definite advantage
playing them down here. The
crowd is great; we’ve got great
fans."
“There’s no way you can play a
game down here and not be up for
it,’’ Sooter said. “Everytime we
come out on the court the fans
start yelling and all. It gets your
adrenalin flowing instantly.”
Forward Roy Jones agreed.
“Everybody’s talking about
beating the hell out of everybody
we play,” he said in reference to
anyone the Aggies might be facing
in tournament comnetition.

in all three doubles matches to
'oid what would have been a true
iset. Fortunately, the Ags did
st that to win the match 5-4.
■ An embarrassed Texas A&M
■am took the court Saturday and
[acted vengeance on Baylor by
eating the Bears 9-0 in the first
buthwest Conference match of
ie spring season.
Kent said the team learned a
bod lesson in the SWTSU match.
E Kent added, “The problem
with having experience as a
pcher is that you get the test first
1 then the lesson.”
He said he has coached only a
! teams that could survive the
essure of having to win all three
ubles to win the match.
Kent said he is proud of his
■am, though, for coming back
playing hard when the chips
j down. He also said it is ob-
ous where the strength of the
im is.
“Our doubles teams are the real
rength of this team, they are the
iason we are 9-1 right now,” he
lid.
Against Baylor, the Ags came
t with a vengance. The team
tally dominated the Bears and
st only one set in the match.
In singles: Joelson defeated
lavid Cheek 3-6, 6-1, 6-1; Reid
|reeamn beat Dorsey Wilmarth
0, 6-0; Trey Schutz defeated
sty Phenix 6-2, 6-2; Tom Jud
in beat Dave Gordon 6-1, 6-4;
ax King defeated Blake Jackson
6,6-0 and Ron Kowal beat Mike
pcCraken 6-1, 6-1.
I Doubles results: Joelson-
Ifreeman beat Cheek-Wilmarth 6-
0 6-2; Judson-Kowal defeated
IPhenix-Gordon 6-3, 6-0 and
Schutz-King beat Jackson-
McCracken 6-1, 6-1.
The Ags will take on Kent’s old
team, West Texas State Universi
ty, Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. at the
Omar Smith Tennis Center. The
match will be a homecoming of
sorts. Kent recruited the seniors
on the WTSU team.
“They all know me and will be
out to get me,” Kent said with a
chuckle. “But they have a good
team and we can’t take the match
lightly.”
Tuesday also is Jeff Carter Day
at the courts. Carter has donated
the use of a van to the tennis team.
He is a Houston oilman who play
ed tennis and handball for Texas
A&M when he attended.
“If I hadn’t received a tennis
scholarship to Texas A&M, I
wouldn’t have been able to go to
college. Tm very excited about
having been an Aggie student and
a graduate and I want to pay my
dues. That’s why I decided to pro
vide the van for the tennis squads
to travel in.”
The Aggie men’s lacrosse team
took it on the chin for its second
loss of the young season Sunday.
Texas A&M played the Houston
Lacrosse Club, sponsored by
Coors, and was defeated, 16-3. It
was the second loss in a row for the
Ags, who also lost last weekend
against the San Antonio Lacrosse
Club, 12-10.
‘These club teams are stocked
with experienced ballplayers,”
said team president Duke Whe
lan. “Some of them play two years
in high school plus four years in
college. Our players can only play
here, but those guys can just play
with the club teams (no school affi
liation).”
