The Southwest Conference
has been short of upsets this sea
son, but tfye league went two-
for-two in the unexpected result
category Wednesday night.
And as a result, the Texas
Aggies have an inside track to
third place in the league — and
the tournament bye that goes
along with it.
SMU had not beaten TCU in
its last five meetings and the
Frogs were favored in Fort
Worth again Wednesday night.
But a key technical foul followed
by five straight free throws by
Butch Moore brought the Mus
tangs the surprising victory, 61-
56.
And the Baylor Bears, suffer
ing through a disappointing sea
son, finally wore down the shor
thanded Texas Tech Red Raid
ers in Lubbock, 63-61.
All of that shuffling put
Texas A&M in position to cap
ture the third-place spot in the
Final Southwest Conference
standings, although A&M, TCU
and SMU could all wind up tied
for No. 3 position.
The league championship,
meanwhile, will be on the line
tonight in Fayetteville where the
No. 1 Flouston Cougars and No.
4 Arkansas Razofbacks get
together for one of the most
well-publicized games in the
conference's history.
Texas A&M, with one game
remaining (against T exas Tech
in Lubbock Saturday after
noon), owns a 9-6 league record
while TCU (through for the reg
ular season) is 9-7.
SMU, meanwhile, is 8-7, with
Dave Bliss says Mustangs
playing ‘best ball of year’
a game against the lowly Texas
Longhorns remaining, and
Tech is 7-8.
The Mustangs clinched at
least a break-even record in con
ference play for the first time in
seven years and downed the
Horned Frogs despite being
outrebounded, 40-29.
“I’m thrilled with the way we
played tonight,” SMU coach
Dave Bliss said. “In the second
half we were a tired ball club.”
It was the fourth triumph in
five games for the Mustangs.
“I think the key to our turnar
ound this year was the last nine
seconds of the Rice game (in
which the Mustangs forced an
overtime after seemingly being
beaten). We played well in that
overtime and we’ve been playing
well — really together — ever
since. We’re playing the best bas
ketball of the year.”

The Texas Aggies took advantage of a
