Fight for survival
TCU, Texas Tech, Baylor move into Dallas quarterfinals
United Press International
The defense of Joe Washington and the offense of
Doug Arnold carried Texas Tech and TCU deeper into
the Southwest Conference tournament Monday night.
But the shot heard around the league came from the
hand of Jay Shakir as the buzzer sounded at the Heart
O’ Texas Coliseum in Waco. Not only did that shot
bring Baylor a victory, but it ended perhaps the most
bizarre season in SWC history — the one that was at first
enjoyed, but at the last only endured by the Texas
Longhorns.
“I don’t think we would have had any business being
in the tournament, anyway,” was the summation deli
vered by Texas coach Abe Lemons. “The win would
have been nice, but we need to get out and recruit a little
more than we did to be in Dallas.”
But Dallas is the destination for Texas Tech, TCU
and Baylor after the tourney’s first round of games
Monday evening.
Shakir’s 20-foot jump shot at game’s end provided
Baylor its only lead of the night in a 48-46 win over the
disaster-prone Longhorns; Tech downed the Rice
Owls, 60-46, with Washington shutting off high-scoring
Ricky Pierce; and TCU finally erupted in the second
half on Arnold’s 19 points to deflate SMU, 54-46.
The rest of the tournament will be played in Dallas’
Reunion Arena with Thursday night’s second round
starting with a matchup between Baylor (15-12) and
Texas A&M (17-9) and then finishing with a meeting
between TCU (15-12) and Texas Tech (17-10).
The Baylor-A&M winner will return Friday night to
face Houston (20-6) and the TCU-Tech survivor will
take on regular-season champ Arkansas (21-5). The
championship game is set for Saturday night.
Texas’ season would make a pretty good book if
anyone had the stomach to write it. It started 14-0 and
finished 2-11. The turning point came when forward
Mike Wacker wrecked his knee on the same court where
the Longhorns suffered their final loss Monday night.
Among the Texas setbacks was one in which it lost a
nine-point lead in the final 70 seconds and a one-point
defeat at the hands of Rice.
“Does this look familiar?” asked Lemons. “Have you
seen that before?”
Texas led by as many as eight points in the second
half only to have the advantage melt away. 1 he winning
shot came after the Bears had brought the ball under
Texas’ basket with four seconds to go. Instead of work
ing the ball to Terry Teagle, who was off form with only
15 points Monday night, Bears’ coach Jim Haller dire
cted the team to get it to Shakir.
“Terry was not in the groove tonight,” said Haller.
“Jay is a pressure player. It was our design to go to him,
but we wanted him to get a little closer than he did. He
won a game for us ,earlier this year at the end and we
have all the confidence in the world in him to get the ball
in the basket.”
In Lubbock, the Owls were trying to defeat Tech for
the third time this season, but all hopes went out the
window when Pierce could not produce his usual game.
It marked the seventh time in the seven years of the
tournament that the Owls have lost their first-round
game.
Pierce, the nation’s second leading scorer, produced
just 14 points — half his season average. Washington
stayed with Pierce all night.
“This was the best we have played on defense all
year,” said Tech coach Gerald Myers. “Joe Washington
has been the unsung hero on our team and tonight he
was our most valuable player. He did a great job of
covering a great basketball player.”
TCU, an overwhelming favorite over SMU, found
itself behind early in the second half but then went on a
binge in which it outscored the Mustangs, 12-2. SMU,
which finished the year with 13 straight losses, could get
no closer than six the rest of the night as the Frogs went
into their delay game with 7:30 remaining.
“It just seemed like both teams were having trouble
doing anything,” said TCU coach Jim Killingsworth.
“The game seemed like it never started — like it was the.
first two minutes all night. It seemed like both teams
were walking hip deep in mud.”
TCU, however, put together its best season in 10
years and if the Frogs beat Texas Tech Thursday night
they will have won more games than in any season since
1959.
Aggie softball team opens tonight
A&M scored six goals in the last

hopes of a national title.
