Aggies topple Frogs, 60-58
by John Wagner
Sports Editor
When Shelby Metcalf needs a
steal and a basket, he calls on
Reggie Roberts to do the job.
And when Metcalf needs a long
distance bucket, he looks up
Kenny Brown.
And more often than not,
they come through.
Roberts and Brown both hit
key baskets to give the Aggies a
60-58 victory over the TCU
Horned Frogs Saturday. The
victory kept the Aggies’ third-
place hopes alive-—a dream that
can be realized provided they
defeat Texas and Texas Tech
and TCU loses to SMU.
Roberts, who played sparing
ly, finished with only six points.
But four of those went a long
way in keeping Texas A&M in
the ball game.
With 1:38 left in the game
and TCU holding on to a slim
Reggie Roberts last-second
shot sent game into OT
55-52 lead, Roberts stole a back-
court pass, streaked down the
court and layed the ball in to cut
the Horned Frogs’ lead to one.
TCU’s Brian Christensen
then hit the first half of a one-
and-one to make it 56-54.
The Aggies rebounded
Christensen’s second shot with
32 seconds left in the game, and
were playing for one last shot.
But with time running out,
Roberts found himself unable to
penetrate, and he pulled up for
a 15-foot jumper with three
seconds left.
The off-balance shot went in
to send the contest into over
time.
In overtime, it was Brown’s
turn for last second heroics, as
he pumped in a 25-footer as the
clock ran down to give Texas
A&M a 60-58 lead. The Horned
Frogs had time for one shot, but
it was short and the Aggies had
the game.
Roberts said his shot at the
end of regulation was a lucky
one.
“I was looking to pass,”
Roberts said, “but they had us
covered pretty good. I could see
the goal and I just tried to get the
ball off.
“They were on me pretty
tight on the shot and I was for
tunate to make it.”
Forward Claude Riley said
the Aggies’ three-guard offense,
which included Brown, Tyren
Naulls, and Doug Lee, simply
out-quicked TCU.
“We started to get into a tran
sitional game,” Riley said of the
three-guard offense, “and I
think that was the turning point
of the game. At first we weren’t
running, and once we started to
run it opened things up.”
But Metcalf said Brown and
Lee played not because of their
quickness, but because of their
shooting.

The “Killer” loved his team’s
odds.
The TCU Horned Frogs
were winning by two points with
three seconds left, and the Frog
defense had forced Aggie guard
Reggie Roberts to throw up an
off-balance prayer from 15 feet.
Roberts hadn’t had a good day
for the Aggies before the shot,
so TCU head coach Jim “Killer”
Killingsworth had to be pleased
when Roberts released the ball.
Swish — so much for good
odds.
Roberts’ last-second heroics
sent the Aggies and Frogs into a
five-minute overtime period
tied at 56. During the overtime
the two teams traded baskets be
fore Texas A&M took over con
trol of the ball with just over two
minutes left. The Aggies then
stalled ... and stalled ... arid stal
led, hoping to get another buz
zer shot, but the odds say light
ing doesn’t strike twice in the
same place, right?
K A BOOM /
Kenny Brown busted the
odds and the Horned Frogs with
a 25-foot jumper with two de
fenders in his face.
“The odds say they shouldn’t
be able to do that,” Killinsworth
said. “I thought both teams play
ed well. We played just as good
as them but they came up with
two last-second shots and both
of them fell.
“(Claude) Riley was really
shooting the ball today so I
thought both (buzzer) shots
would go to him, but the guards
took them. There was nothing
we could do. I’d rather take my
chances on an outside shot than
let Claude drive on us and score
easy.”
Killingsworth credited the
Aggies with playing “very good
defense,” but he said the Frogs
shouldn’t have given Texas
A&M the opportunity to tie the
score at the end of regulation
play.
“We were stalling and I
thought we were doing a very
good job of it,” he said, “but De
nnis (Nutt) jumped up in the air
to pass the ball and Reggie
(Roberts) came up with it. When
you’re in the air like that there’s
nothing you can do. I’ve spent a
lot of time teaching my players
not to do that.”
TCU guard Darrell Browder
also credited the Aggie defense,
but added that the offensive
punch of outside-gunners

Brown and Doug Lee was the
deciding factor in the game.
“We came into the game look
ing to stop their inside game, but
those guys outside were just in
credible. We did a good job in
side, so I should have known
“Downtown” wouldn’t be afraid
to put one up if he had to. He
was hitting those shots all day.”
Browder added, however,
that Brown’s overtime heroics
should have never come about.
“We forgot that we had one
more foul before they went into
the bonus (one and one). When
Reggie went up with just a cou
ple of seconds left, we could
have fouled him and they would
have had to bring in the ball.
And I don’t think they would
have had enough time to get a
