sports Battalion/Page January 26,19! Sutton, Razorbacks face Aggies tonight by John Bramblett Battalion Staff Eddie Sutton brings his magic show, the University of Arkan sas basketball team, to G. Rollie White Coliseum tonight for a 7:35 tip-off with the Texas Aggies. Ranked 14th in the nation and holding down third place in the Southwest Conference, the Razorbacks came from behind to defeat Houston 68-67 Satur day in Barnhill Arena. Sutton pulled a cat out of the hat with the hand of 6-10 center Scott Hastings, who hit a 20-foot jump shot with eight seconds left in the game. The senior, who has led the Razorbacks in scor ing the past two years, will prob ably be picked high in the NBA draft. The Best Pizza In Town! Honest. WE DELIVER 846-3412 Mr. Gattfs Pizzamat AFTER 5 P.M. — MIN. $5.00 ORDER The Razorbacks, who are 13- 2 for the season and 4-2 in the SWC, arrive holding a 74-47 series lead over the Aggies. However, in College Station, the Hogs lead the series by only 29- 28. Sutton holds a 10-4 record against Texas A&M, but he’s 3-4 in the coliseum. Texas A&M has posted an 11-4 season record and a second-place 4-1 SWC record. The next three games, in which the Aggies play Arkansas, Texas and Houston, will be the most crucial of the season. During Sutton’s eight seasons at Arkansas, three games with the Aggies have been decided by one point, one by two points and one game went into overtime. Last year’s 65-61 victory is the Razorbacks’ biggest win in Col lege Station since their eight- point victory in 1957. Part of Texas A&M’s recent success can be attributed to its proficient free-throw shooting in Southwest Conference action. The Aggies are hitting 76 per cent of their shots from the line, including a 22 for 26 perform ance Saturday night at Rice. Claude Riley continues to lead the Aggies in scoring and rebounding. The “Crockett Rocket” is averaging 15.3 points and 10.2 rebounds a game. The starting guards, Tyren Naulls and Reggie Roberts, are averag ing 11.6 and 11.5 points a game. Averaging 9.8 points and seven rebounds a game is center Rudy Woods, while forward Roy Jones has averaged seven points and 4.3 rebounds a contest. However, Jones is out for the year due to a knee injury he sus tained against Rice. Texas A&M team physician Dr. Duane Lagan said Jones tore ligaments in his right knee. “Roy suffered extensive dam age to the medial collateral liga ments of his right knee midway through the second half,” Lagan said. Jones was examined in Dal las Monday and was scheduled to undergo surgery this morn ing at Dallas’ Baylor Hospital. His loss will be a definite set back for the Aggies, since he was playing better than at any point in his collegiate career. He scored a career-high 18 points last Tuesday in the Aggies’ 81- 55 rout of SMU in Dallas. Jones is also the only starter whose conference scoring average, 9.6, Succeed in business.
