probably be reached today. He
also said that if Thomas is drop
ped from the team, it could have
a “detrimental eff ect” and could
“end up hurting the team.”
■Thomas said Wednesday
night that he didn’t understand
why Metcalf removed him from
the game.
K'l had misunderstood what I
was supposed to do,” Thomas
said. “We were pressing and I
thought I was doing what I was
supposed to do. I guess I wasn’t,
and he snatched me out.
■I kind of thought he (Met
calf) really didn’t give me
lenough time to get into the (flow
of) the game.”
Tfhomas said Metcalf talked to
at lunch in Cain Hall
Mike Thomas
Wednesday, but said that Met
calf “really didn’t say anything to
me.”
However, Thomas later said:
“He (Metcalf) said I was
through.”
Metcalf said Wednesday
night that he had no comment
on the matter, but said that a
decision will be reached today.
Thomas didn’t participate in
Wednesday’s team workout, and
a University source said that
Thomas’ locker in the coliseum
was cleaned out during the day.
Forward Claude Riley said he
didn’t know why Thomas was
taken out of the game or why he
reacted like he did.
“I’ve heard conflicting re
ports about what happened, so
I’d rather not comment on it
now,” Riley said.
“I’m sure something’s going
to come out of it, but I don’t
know what.”
Aggie center Rudy Woods,
Thomas’ roommate, said that he
wasn’t aware of the situation
when it occurred, and was sur
prised to find Thomas in their
dorm room after the game. Not
only had Thomas left the col
iseum floor, but he had left the
building as well.
Metcalf has emphasized all
season that the Aggies don’t
have a great deal of depth. With
out Thomas, they would have
only 6-8 Lonniel Bluntson as a
reserve forward/center. After
losing forward Roy Jones to a
knee injury earlier in the season,
the Aggies have had to turn
more to Thomas and Bluntson
as the top reserve big men.
Metcalf lately has praised the
play of Thomas, who contri
buted several key baskets during
recent victories over Houston
and SMU.

deal slumping Denver its fourth
straight defeat. Houston coach
Del Harris said the performance
by Leavell, whose previous high
was 29 points at Denver in
November, was “fantastic.”
“Moses (Malone) is so great,
everybody has to pay attention
to him,” said Leavell. “That gave
me some open shots, and for
tunately I was able to put them
in.
“We’ve been down all sea
son,” he said. “We hadn’t beaten
Denver yet, and we really
wanted to win. We’re just going
out and playing it game by
game.”
Houston, which won for the
10th time in its last 1 2 outings to
move to 31 -24, also got 27 points
from Elvin Hayes and 23 from
Malone, who was held below 30
points for the first time in 14
games.
“Denver was not going to beat
us forever,” Harris said.
“They’ve beaten us three in a
row, and we responded well to
the challenge. We ran our type
of ball game and used our peo
ple well both inside and out
side.”
Denver, which dropped to
28-27, got a brilliant effort from
Kiki Vandeweghe, who scored
17 of the Nuggets’ 19 fourth-
quarter points and totaled 34.
Dan fssel added 24, but Alex En
glish, the NBA’s fourth leading
scorer with a 26.2 average,
scored only 10 under tight
guarding by Robert Reid.
“I bet Robert a steak dinner
before the game if he could hold
English below his average,” said
Leavell, who hit 11 of 13 shots in
the second half.
“That’s the first time we did a
good job on Alex,” Harris said.
“Reid played him real tough.
The real difference in tonight’s
game was that we were disci
plined. The standings are mak
ing it a battle of nerves.”
