As Abe Lemons left his post-game press conference, his words to
a passing spectator accurately described the Texas Longhorns’
condition after Saturday’s 71-69 overtime loss to the Texas Aggies.
“You know that old song “Time Changes Everything' 1 ? Lemons
asked.
The University of Texas basketball coach knew that his team’s
loss of sophomore forward Mike Wacker to a season-ending knee
injury a few days before had drastically changed the Longhorns.
Lemons made it clear that without Wacker’s 16 points and 10
rebounds a game, the Longhorns weren’t the same team that won
its first 14 games of the season.
“It’s all over for us ... from the standpoint of what happened
before (Texas’ two straight losses) and what’s happening now,”
Lemons said. “The offense we’ve got does not fit the bunch we’ve
s ot -
“We’re going to be seeing a lot more ol our people, because
we’ve got to rest our freshmen. We need to find out what’s out
there. We’re really getting pretty thin on our big guys.”
In front of 16,251 fans in Austin’s Frank C. Erwin Special Events
Center, the Longhorns dropped into a second-place Southwest
Conference tie with the Aggies, while the Arkansas Razorbacks
have moved into first place. Arkansas’ conference record is 6-2,
and the Aggies and Longhorns are 5-2.
Texas A&M’s season record is now 12-5.
The Aggies, after losing 64-63 Tuesday to the Razorbacks in G.
Rollie White Coliseum, led throughout most of Saturday’s game.
Although the Longhorns’ Ray Harper tied the game with a shot at
the top of the key to send it into overtime, junior forward Claude
Riley’s shot from the left corner with five seconds remaining gave
the Aggies the victory.
“I felt we could get a good shot off... and that if I gotdowncourt
by myself, I could score,” Riley said. “I didn’t want to go into
another overtime — I wanted to get it over right then and there.”
Lemons said he didn’t agree with the officiating during the
game, and that UT center LaSalle Thompson received more
rough treatment than should have been allowed.
“We couldn’t figure out what was a foul and what wasn’t a foul,”
Lemons said. “LaSalle was getting bumped around too much in
there. If that’s the way it’s going to be, we’d better just get used to it.
I just can’t see how they can allow all that contact.”
Thompson led the Longhorns with 24 points and 14 rebounds,
while Riley’s 14 points and 11 rebounds led the Aggies. Guard
Denard Holmes followed Thompson with 17 points, and Ken
Montgomery finished with 10.
For Texas A&M, guard Reggie Roberts and reserve center
Lonniel Bluntson had 12 points apiece, and guard Milton Woodley
scored 11. i
Thompson said the physical play didn’t bother him, bu^ that
