The 3,652 fans in G. Rollie
White Coliseum Thursday night
were treated to a spectacular
shooting show. When the con
test with the Texas A&I Javeli-
nas was over, Aggie freshman
guard Kenny Brown hadn’t mis
sed a shot — eight for eight.
Brown wasn’t even the lead
ing scorer for the Aggie basket
ball squad. Instead, it was senior
forward Claude Riley who led
with 19 points in the Aggies’ 91-
70 victory.
But the Aggie fans are accus
tomed to such play from Riley.
Brown is a new spark of life in
the Aggie offense — an offense
that has needed someone who
can consistently pump in 25-
and 30-footers. And all 16 of his
points Thursday night came on
outside shots.
His performance earned the
faith of and a standing ovation
from the Aggie faithful, who
were shouting “shoot” every
time Brown touched the ball.
Indicative of the offensive
show the Aggies put on was the
fact that 10 players saw action
and nine of them scored. Guard
Tyren Naulls finished the even
ing with 15 points and forward
Roy Jones came alive in the
second half to score 11. And
junior transfer Lowell McHenry
hopped, skipped and jumped
his way to 10 points — all in the
second half.
But the Aggies’ defensive per
formance kept Coach Shelby
Metcalf from being completely
pleased. Although the Aggies
outrebounded the Javelinas 36-
27, Metcalf said his players
started out sluggishly and that
he can see they need to get some
defensive kinks out.
“We still have a lot of work to
do,” Metcalf said.
“We are a better shooting ball-
club than we were last year, and
we have improved our shot
selection. But I’m concerned ab
out our rebounding and our de
fense.”
More frequent use of the
press in the second half bright
ened the defensive outlook.
Three different presses served
to hinder Texas A&I’s ability to
get down court quickly.
Nevertheless, Texas A&I’s
forward Felix Dean led the
game in scoring with 20 points
and in rebounding with 10.
Javelina forward James Bailey
found the hoop often enough to
collect 14 points.
The Aggies made an impress
ive 60 percent of their shots
from the Field on the night.
Freshman center Jimmie Gilbert
was the only player who didn’t
Find the bottom of the net, but
he contributed seven rebounds
to the effort.
The evening was one for new
comers. Brown, McHenry and
freshmen Doug Lee and Roger
Bock combined for 37 points.
Lee pumped in seven points and
Bock succeeded on two of three
Field goal attempts to Finish with
four.
Riley said he’s glad to see the
newcomers fare so well. One
reason is that defenses will soon
learn to respect the outside
shooting ability of people like
Brown as well as Naulls, Jones
and junior Reggie Roberts, who
Finished the evening with seven
points. Riley said that should
make defenses loosen up and
leave him open in the middle.
“I’m glad (those) new faces
are with us,” Riley said. “I feel
like in the future that’s going to
be a big plus for us.”
But the future — the near fu- »
ture — holds some tough oppo- *
nents for the Aggies, who are *
now 2-2 on the year. Saturday
they’ll be at Marquette Universi- i
ty to tangle with the nationally '
ranked Warriors at 8 p.m, and
Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. they’ll
be in New Orleans’ Superdome
facing the always-tough LSU Ti- - *
gers.

On the road
A&M, Marquette to meet in Milwaukee Arena
by Frank L. Christlieb
v Sports Editor
Gone are the days of the
Butch Lee, Bo Ellis and Jerome
Whitehead. Gone is the emo
tional scene of A1 McGuire
crying, his face buried in a towel
as he ended his 13-year coaching
career at Marquette University
with a national championship,
one of college basketball’s har-
dest-to-forget pieces of history.
“The honeymoon is over,”
McGuire said in an emotional
farewell speech Five years ago, as
he turned toward his future as a
television commentator.
After his 1977 Warriors won
the NGAA title, McGuire turned
the team over to assistant coach
Hank Raymonds. Since that sea
son, the Warriors have compiled
a record of 107-40, including an
impressive 23-9 during the
1981-82 season.
On the other hand, Goach
Shelby Metcalf has held on to
the Texas Aggies for 19 years,
and after four games this sea
son, he has a record of 310-204.
Texas A&M has a 2-2 record
during 1982-83, while the War
riors have won their only game
by a score of 91-58 Wednesday
over Florida A&M.
The Aggies and the Warriors
meet Saturday night at 8 in Mar
quette’s 11,052-seat Milwaukee
Arena, with Texas A&M coming
off Thursday night’s 91-70 vic
tory over the Texas A&I Jave
linas.
Marquette, led by preseason
all-America guard Glenn “Doc”
Rivers, has been ranked in sev
eral Top 20 polls this season.
Texas A&M, paced so far this
season by the hot shooting of 6-4
freshman guard Kenny Brown
and the scoring and rebounding
of forward Glaude Riley, has
been picked to finish third or
fourth in the Southwest Confer-
Against Florida A&M, Rivers
led the Warriors with 14 points
and second-string freshman
guard-forward Kerry Trotter
had 13 rebounds and six re
bounds. Center Vic Lazzaretti
had seven points and eight re
bounds, with forwards Marc
Marotta and Dwayne Johnson,
and guard Mandy Johnson con
tributing 10 points each.
Rivers, 6-4, and Mandy John
son, 6-foot, will start at the
guard slots for Marquette
against the Aggies, while 6-6
Dwayne Johnson and 6-7 Marc
Marotta will be the starting for
wards. Lazzaretti, a 6-8 fresh
man, will start at center for the
Warriors.
