Aggies upend struggling Tigers
By FRANK L. CHRISTLIEB
Battalion StafT
When Dale Brown came out of
the locker room at halftime with
his Louisiana State Tigers losing
33-30 to the Texas Aggies, he non
chalantly looked upward at the G.
Rollie White Coliseum score-
board. If anything, his casual
glance showed only unconcern ab
out his team’s deficit.
But as the Aggies maintained
their lead throughout the second
half. Brown began to display looks
of worry and concern about the
possibility of his team losing its
second straight road game. Dur
ing much of the second half,
Brown vented his anger on the
officials, complaining about sever-
-al of their calls.
Despite Brown’s constant bick
ering and the near-total comeback
of his team, Texas A&M held on
for a 68-63 upset of the Tigers

and supportive fans in G. Rollie

The Aggies now have a 3-0 re>-
cord, while LSU drops to 0-2 after
having lost its opening game
against the University of Nevada
at Las Vegas.
From the opening tipoff, it was
evident that the game would be
close. The Aggies jumped out to a
four-point lead at the 17:34 mark
of the game, as forward Roy Jones
scored on a 7-foot bank shot and a
17-foot jumper from the left side.
Center Rudy Woods’ rebound
layup off a Jones miss made the
score .6-2.
The Tigers then found their
shooting touch as they ran off 13 of
the next 15 points to take a 15-8
lead. At that point, it seemed LSU
might build a larger lead, but it
was the Aggies’ turn to put on a
spurt.

18-18 tie with the Tigers as he
scored on a 26-foot jumper and a
shot from the left baseline. For the
remainder of the first half, Texas
A&M and LSU traded baskets un
til the Aggies were able to take the
three-point halftime lead.
The halftime statistics showed
the closeness of the game, as the
Aggies shot 58 percent and the
Tigers hit 54 percent of their
shots. However, the Aggies led in
rebounds 19-9 as Claude Riley had
five. Riley and Naulls were the
high scorers for the Aggies as well,
each hitting eight points.
Forward Howard Carter
pumped in 10 points in the first
half for the Tigers.
Naulls opened the Aggies’
second-half scoring with a layup
after a Rudy Woods steal at the
LSU end of the court. The Aggies
stayed between three and six
points ahead of the Tigers until
coming alive with a 7-0 scoring
streak that gave them a 48-38 lead
with 14 minutes left in the game.
Neither squad scored until the
Aggies went up 50-38 with 11:49
to go, but then the Tigers began to
mount a stretch drive. Reserve
center Tyrone Black scored 10 key
points during the next eight mi
nutes as the Tigers pulled to with
in 60-59 with 2:31 left in the game.
However, Texas A&M moved
back to a five-point lead at 66-59
with only 31 seconds remaining.
Riley, Naulls and sophomore
guard Reggie Roberts hit four of
seven free throws during that
stretch, while Roberts also hit a
short jumper off a Gary Lewis
assist. The Tigers, forced into a
desperate situation, then fouled
Roberts and Lewis, with the fi-esh-
man hitting both of his one-and-
one shots.
|Naulls finished with 17 points to
lead the Aggies, and Riley had 15
and 11 rebounds. Jones ended
with 11 points to round out the
Texas A&M double-figure scor
ers, while Lewis had nine and
Roberts and Rudy Woods each
had eight.
The Tigers were led by Carter’s
18 points. Black’s 15 points and
forward Leonard Mitchell’s 10
points.
Aggie coach Shelby Metcalf
didn’t seem ecstatic about his
team’s victory, but he said he felt
lx)th teams played well enough to
win.
“I thought it was a hard-fought
hall game,” he said. "LSU showed
a lot of poise. We had to come in
there last year (when the Aggies
lost 67-57 in Baton Rouge, La.),
but this is a pretty noisy place too.
1 thought the intensity in this
game was better than last year.”
Metcalf said the Aggies’ effec
tive transition from a man-to-man
setup to a 3-2 zone on defense was
an important factor in the game
“I thought our 3-2 zone was fair
ly effective, and 1 thought we didi
good job on the boards too (outre-
hounding the Tigers 40-25),” lie
said.
Metcalf added that the crowd
gave the Aggies a much-needed
lift in the game.
“I think that’s a dass crowd,'
Metcalf said. “We’re noisy, but
we’re organized.”
The 19th-year Aggie coachcited
the play of Jones and Naulls, along
with Lewis’ mature ball-handling
in the upset of one of last season•
NCAA Final Four.
“1 didn’t think the game ms
ever out of hand, Metcalf said.1
thought either team could have
won until the last minute.
“There’s a mystique about tbe
Final Four, but we re just tntig
to make the Final 400 now.”
Lewis, who has improved will
each of the Aggies’ three games,
said he and his teammates felt eon-
fident and excited about their
chances against the Tigers.
Riley said: “It was definitely an
upset. For one thing, lastyearwe
played them at the wrong time
(following a 108-79 win over tie
University of Texas the day be
fore). We didn’t have enoughtime
to prepare for them. This time.wt
had a few days to prepare fcr
them, so we were ready.”
Brown pleased with effort

effort. It didn’t make sense.
The Aggies had just whipped
the Tigers 68-63 for their third win
of the season, as the The Tigers
dropped to 0-2. Losing isn’t some
thing they are accustomed to.
“We re 0-2 now,’ Brown said.
“We’re not used to losing but I am
proud of this team. I thought both
teams played an excellent game. ”
The Aggies outplayed the Ti
gers throughout the game but
could never put it out of reach.
The Aggies finished the game
hitting 52.7 percent of their shots
from the field. LSU finished with
50 percent from the field.
In addition, the Aggies outre-
bounded the Tigers 40-25.
“Texas A&M is a much better
team (than last year),” Brown said.
“They played much harder and
with a lot more discipline.”
Last year the Aggies traveled to
Baton Rouge to face the Tigers on
national television and lost 67-57.
LSU advanced to the Final Four
before losing to eventual national
champion Indiana.

“It was a good major colli

Brown said that both teamsarf
of good caliber and could go

“They have a good chance
