Aggies use ‘Killer’ instinct
to dispose of TCU, 83-74
by Frank L. Christlieb
Sports Editor
Shelby Metcalf watched as TCU guard
Darrell Browder prepared to shoot the
front end of a one-and-one after being
fouled by Texas A&M center Rudy Woods.
The Aggies had an 83-72 lead with only five
seconds left in Tuesday night’s game in G.
Rollie White Coliseum.
Before Browder shot the first free throw,
Metcalf picked up a towel and wiped his
forehead.
But Metcalf wasn’tjust wiping sweat from
his brow. That towel soaked up gallons of
relief from the 19th-year Texas A&M
coach.
Metcalf put the towel back on the floor
and glanced up as Browder made the first
free throw. The Aggie coach reacted little as
Browder missed the second free throw and
but put the rebound in to account for the
Horned Frogs’ final points of the night.
But Metcalf had a great deal to be re
lieved about on this night. His team fought
' ;fei
back from a seven-point deficit to defeat
TCU 83-74 and remain tied with the Hous
ton Cougars for second place in the South
west Conference.
Houston, 19-6 for the season, defeated
the Rice Owls 75-69 Tuesday night to raise
its conference record to 10-5. The Aggies,
who play the Cougars Saturday at 2:10 p.m.
in Houston, have a 17-8 overall record.
If Texas A&M defeats the Cougars, it will
finish second and receive a bye into the SWC
tournament semifinals. However, a Hous
ton victory coupled with a Baylor defeat of
TCU Saturday could drop the Aggies into
fourth place.
The third-place team receives a bye into
the quarterfinals of the tourney, whereas
the fourth-place team must play at home in
the opening round Monday night.
Metcalf, whose team took its first lead of
the game at the 17:33 mark of the second
half, said the Aggies continued to show that
one of their greatest assets is an ability to stay
together.
“This team of ours plays as well together
as any team I’ve coached,” Metcalf said.
“They all get along well and theyrew
the jersey around out there. Anybodjj
doesn’t enjoy watching this teamjustdotii
like basketball. They’re really exdtw
“TCU has an outstanding basitl
team. They played us just as hard as j
body in the conference. Our youngiij
were just tremendous tonight. There
lot of energy spent in the second hi)
there.
“I’m going to enjoy this one nowandu
ry about Houston tomorrow,” Metcalhj
“We’ll go down there as the underdog

Bad officiating, sloppy play cause TCU defa
A&M remains tied with the Houston
Cougars for second place in the Southwest
Conference.

Battalion Staff
The words “Killer’s Frogs” are
printed across the cover of
Texas Christian University’s
1981-82 basketball press guide.
The cover picture shows bas
ketball coach Jim “Killer” Kil-
lingsworth and three of his top
players dressed as Prohibition-
era gangsters, mean and ready
to tangle with anything.
Tuesday night, “Kuler” and
his TCU Horned Frogs mixed it
up with the Texas Aggies, and
left the encounter with the
game’s officials on his hit list.
“They were the three worst
officials ever let on a basketball
court,” he said. “I’ve never seen
three blinder guys.”
The officials were frequently
the object of verbal barrages
from Killingsworth as he stalked
up and down courtside gestur
ing at the referees.
On one occasion he threw his
arms into the air to demonstrate
his disapproval of a called foul
and to make it clear what he
thought should have been
called.
When he was not nervously
pacing the floor, he was perched
on the edge of his chair looking
sullen and tense, anxiously
awaiting the opportunity to
spring into action.
Killingsworth was off the
bench in an instant, sending in a
new player to replace junior
guard Joe Stephen when In

Stephen when he was
charged with a technical foul for
hanging on the rim on a dunk.
Although the first-half action
was intense enough to merit the
removal of Killingsworth’s jack
et, the real brow-wiping did not
begin until the Killer Frogs’ lead
began to slip away after inter
mission.
Killingsworth winced and
wiped his forehead following
each of his team’s second-half
mistakes.
“We didn’t play very smart,”
he said of his team’s perform
ance in the second-half.
Junior center Brian Christen
sen agreed.
“We played good in the first
half,” he said. “It just didn’t go
right in the second half.
“There was a lack of concen
tration. We got in a hurry, and
didn’t do what we should have
done.”
But Christensen didn’t think
the officiating was bad.
“It didn’t bother me,” he said.
“I tried to play one game, my
game.
“I don’t worry about the refs.
f:
They’ve got their job;
got mine.”
