TEXAS AGGIES
umu vvvi

Battalion Staff
Shelby Metcalf s Texas Aggies
may have to travel to the Cham
pion Holiday Classic in Mis
soula, Mont., without forward
Claude Riley, who’s in the A.P.
Eeutel Health Center with a case
of mononucleosis.
Dr. Duane Lagan, the Aggies
team physician, said Tuesday
night that Riley’s chances of
making the trip are “pretty
slim,” but that the 6-10 senior
should be ready when Texas
AlcM competes in the Connecti
cut Mutual Classic Dec. 28-29 in
Hartford, Conn.
“I don’t believe he’ll be able to
goto Montana,” Lagan said. “I
link he’ll be under the weather
and we’ll be treating him for a
few more days. He could sur
prise us all, but I really don’t
think he’ll be going this
weekend.”
Riley, who has been in the
center since Monday, is
ies’ second-leading scor-
trat 14.3 points a game and the
rebounder at 9.8 a
. Riley needs six points to
hecome the 10th best scorer in
Aggie history, as he will surpass
Hike Heitmann, who played
here between 1968 and 1970.
Riley has 1,084 points during his
tareerand Heitmann had 1,089.
While the team leaves Thurs
day for Missoula, Lagan said,
Riley may be well enough to go
home later in the week.
Metcalf, whose Aggies are 3-5
on the season after placing
second in the Marshall Memo
rial Tournament the past
weekend, said this trip will give
the team another dose of
talented competition. Texas
A&M opens Friday night at 9:30
CST against the Portland Pilots,
who are 3-3 this season.
“It’s going to be a tough tour
nament,” Metcalf said. “Port
land is young, but really good.”
Portland returns only one
starter — 6-foot-9-inch senior
center Bryan Breard — from
last year’s squad that finished
17-10 and third in the West
Coast Athletic Conference be
hind Pepperdine and San Fran
cisco. During the season, the
Pilots had victories over USC
(72-67), Oregon State (68-63)
and Tennessee (71-62).
Freshman guard Kenny
Brown leads Texas A&M scor
ers at 15.7 points a game and
senior guard Tyren Naulls is
third at 11.3 points a game.
Brown’s two-time high of 23
points came against Clemson
and Illinois during the Great
Alaska Shootout and Naulls’ sea
son high of 20 came against
LSU.
Montana plays West Texas
State in the other first-round
opener Friday at 8 p.m. Monta
na is undefeated at 7-0 and re
turns all five of its starters from
the Grizzlies’ 17-10 team in
1981-82, while the Buffaloes are
3-3. The tournament consola
tion game will be played Satur
day at 8 p.m. and the champion
ship will be the same night at 10.
Here are the probable start
ing lineups for this weekend’s
Champion Holiday Classic, as
well as the players’ scoring and
rebounding averages:
TEXAS A&M (3-5):
Kenny Brown, freshman guard,
6-4, 195 — 15.7 pts., 3.7 rebs.
Tyren Naulls, senior guard,
6-4, 205 — 11.3 pts., 3.3 rebs.,
