The loss marked the ninth straight time the Aggies have lost in Lubbock, with their last win being by a 64-62 score in 1976. Leading the Aggies were guard Tyren Naulls with 19 points, while freshman guard Gary Lewis had a season-high 15 points. Also in double figures for Texas A&M were Riley with 13, and Rudy Woods and Milton Woodley with 10 apiece. Smith led the Red Raiders with 24 points, and Taylor finished with 21. Joe Washing ton had 16 for Texas Tech, and center Clarence Swannegan had 13. When the Aggies pulled to within five at 26-2 1 with 6:11 left in the first half, the Raiders scored seven consecutive points to take the 12-point lead. However, baskets by Woods, Riley and Lewis cut the lead to 35-27 with two minutes re maining. A three-point play by Taylor after a fold on Woods made the score 40-32, but the Aggies scored the final four points of the half to trail 40-36 at half- rlaaieA Gary Lewis The Aggies finally tied the Raiders at 44 with 16:43 left, one of four times in the game that Texas A&M tied Texas Tech. Two of those were in the over time, and one was at the end of regulation. Woodley’s 15-footer brought the first tie, but Texas Tech built its lead to 50-44 on a basket by Swannegan, two free throws by Taylor and a goaltending call on Woods on a shot by Washington. Texas A&M fought back again to cut the lead to 52-50 on a field goal by Reggie Roberts and two free throws each from Riley and Woodley. Once again, however, the Texas Tech lead grew to eight at 60-52 with 10:14 left in the game. Less than three minutes later, the Aggies cut the lead to 62-60 on a pair of free throws by Roberts at the 7:48 mark. A Swannegan jumper gave Texas Tech another eight-point lead with five minutes left, and that lead rose to nine points, 73-64 with only 3:37 remaining. One free throw each by Lewis and Naulls cut the lead by two, and the score stood at 73-66 with 2:58 to go. Lewis’ 15-footer and Woodley’s two free throws brought the Aggies to within four, 74-70, with 1:49 left in the game. Naulls was fouled by Charles Johnson with 1:31 remaining, and hit both ends of his one- and-one attempt to make the score 74-72. Smith’s two free throws after being fouled by Woodley gave Texas Tech a 76- 72 lead with 53 seconds left. A jumper by Lewis made the score 76-/4 with 40 seconds re maining, and Smith’s traveling violation six seconds later gave the Aggies the ball and a chance to tie the game. Riley’s shot with 19 seconds left sent the game into ovetime. Texas Tech took a four-point lead 40 seconds into the five- minute Overtime, and the Aggies took their only lead of the game two minutes later. However, with the score 82-80, the Aggies couldn’t score in the final 2:53 of the overtime, while the Red Raiders scored 11 points during that time. The game was one in which six players fouled out, four of them for the Aggies. Roberts, Thomas, Lewis and Woodley fouled out, with the latter three doing so in the overtime, while Taylor and Johnson fouled out for Texas Tech. Metcalf said the Aggies never recovered after Texas Tech took its early lead. “Tech played fine, they really did,” Metcalf said. “We had to work so hard to get back in the ballgame, but we just couldn’t do it. It was just one of those things where at the end, we were pretty short-handed. “We didn’t get back (on de fense) ... and they got a couple of easy baskets on us early in the game. That put us in a hole and it was an uphill battle all the way.” Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in G. Rollie White Coliseum, the Aggies host the SMU Mustangs, currently in last place in the SWC.
