Rice Owls: What can be said

eOwls lost to everybody they
ere supposed to lose to, every-
dy they could have lost to, and
everybody they were supposed
to beat. Rice coach Ray Alborn
jwas patient, however, even
when Micheal Calhoun, ben

toswitch to any other position. It
jprobably wouldn’t have helped
janvway.
Claude Riley grabbed 11
rebounds against Marquette
Dwayne Johnson, and Rivers’
jumper from the top of the key
pushed the lead to 9-6. Brown
tied the score 11-11 on a 16-foot
jumper and free throw after a
foul by 6-5 sophomore guard
Terry Reason.
Reason finished the game
with 21 points to lead Marquette
and Brown paced the Aggies
with 13 points.
A jumper by Brown and a 15-
footer by forward Claude Riley
gave Texas A&M an 18-14 lead,
and Brown’s driving layup gave
the Aggies another four-point
lead at 20-16. Two free throws
by Marquette’s Marc Marotta
made the score 20-18 and a tip-
in by forward Terrell Schlundt
tied the score.
Marquette took a 22-20 lead
Kenny Brown scored 13
points to lead the Aggies
on two free throws by freshman
Kerry Trotter, and the Aggies
could never tie the Warriors or
regain the lead after that. Dur
ing the last eight minutes of the
first half, Marquette outscored
Texas A&M 18-4 to take a 34-24
halftime lead.
Crucial Aggie turnovers late
in the first half, several brought
about by the Warriors’ 1-3-1
trap defense, prevented Texas
A&M from cutting the Warriors’
lead.
In fact, Texas A&M commit
ted 26 turnovers during the
game and the Warriors came up
with an amazing 23 steals. On
the other hand, Marquette had
only 10 turnovers and the
Aggies had five steals.
