The second half of the South
west Conference basketball race
opens Saturday and there is little
indication that it is going to look
much different than the first
half.
In the 36 league games play
ed thus far, there has been only
one result that could be called an
upset — Texas Tech’s surpris
ing decision over Baylor.
With 36 more games to go,
the chief questions seem to be:
— Can Arkansas manage to
defeat Houston in Fayetteville
on March 3?
— Can TCU earn a spot in a
post-season tournament for the
first time in 1 1 years?
There seems to be little any
body can do to slow down the
eighth-ranked Cougars, who

rolled through their first eight
conference games with only a
slight scare against TCU in Fort
Worth.
But if there is to be an upset, it
could come Saturday afternoon
before the regional television
cameras at College Station.
Texas A&M (5-3) hosts the
Cougars in hopes of avenging
the 84-61 thrashing it absorbed
in Houston last month.
The other league games will
all come Saturday night with
TCU (6-2) at home against
Texas (T7), SMU (4-4) visiting
Texas Tech (3-5) and Baylor (1-
6) making the trip to Rice (0-8).
Houston’s losses this season
have come at Syracuse and in
Tokyo, Japan against Virginia,
which played that night without
Ralph Sampson.
But as the Cougars have
gained momentum, clobbering
Arkansas in the process, they
have begun to gain more and
more attention.
At least they got the attention
of Baylor coach Jim Haller,
whose team became the latest
Houston victim last Wednesday
night.
Earlier this season, Baylor
played Nevada-Las Vegas and
lost, 77-65. The Rebels remain
as the only unbeaten team in ma
jor college basketball.
“We’ve played both Nevada-
Las Vegas and Arkansas,” said
Haller. “There is no compari-
sion between Houston and those
teams.
“Houston would demolish
Las Vegas.”
The aggressive
front line
crew of Akeem Olajuwon(i'
Larry Micheaux (6-9),
Drexler (6-6) and !
Young (6-6) have created iln
own fraternity, giving tlit
selves the name, “Phi Slam
Jamma.”
And even Houston coadid
Lewis senses this 0
cial year.
"They are playing like h
peeled them to be playingati
point in the season,” saidleK
whose team made ittothefi
Four last season before falliiij
the semifinals to nationals
pion North Carolina.
“But believe me, thereispli
ty of room for improvement
the other teams in the coni
ence will be improved when
see them next and wewilltj
to lx?, too.”

Learning quickly: Port Arthur Jef-
CK.
mp, who has
of intent with
announced he will sign a letter
the Aggies on Wednesday’s initial signing date,
says he — and his family — are happy with his
decision: “I guess I have to get used to saying
‘we’ when I mention Texas A&M. My whole
family is glad I decided on A&M. Now,
whenever I do something wrong or dumb
around the house, my brothers tell me, ‘You’re
already learning to be an Aggie.’”

Razorbacks’ best start ever: Although
the Houston Cougars ended Arkansas’ season
opening winning streak at 14 games, the
Razorbacks are still off to their best start since
