The Aggies, ranked No. 2 behind UCLA in the most recent na tional poll, are two-time tourna ment champions. CoogS (continued from page 13) ings will be in the back of the mind of every player who walks out to meet UH Saturday at 12:10. You want statistics? How ab out Drexler’s 46 dunks this sea son alone? How about the Cougars’ 21.6-point margin of victory over its SWC foes? How about 128 blocked ,shots, 174 steals and 349 assists, all in con ference play. Aggies (continued from page 13) games during the latter part of the SWC schedule. SMU’s Bliss and Texas Tech’s Myers, on the other hand, finished the year with a bang, but seemed to be content with just reaching the tournament. At the press conference, Myers raved over his team’s accomplishments this season, as did Bliss, but when confronted with questions on how their teams would fare in the tourna- Had enough? How about the Coogs’ 20-game winning streak and their 10-game winning streak on television? The list goes on forever. Lewis said the Cougars’ suc cess can be traced to the fact that guards Young and Franklin, along with reserve Reid Gettys, have jelled solidly. “What could have been called a weakness,” Lewis said, “has be come a strong point for us. They’ve (the backcourt trio of starters Young and Franklin, along with Gettys) done what we’ve wanted them to do — and that’s get the ball inside to the big guys. They’re doing what we ask of them, they’re not selfish and I’m very pleased with their play.” This has been a good season for SWC basketball. There are several teams worthy of post season bids — among them Texas A&M. But nobody can come close to the Cougars this year. Aggie coach Shelby Met calf said it best. “We’ve got a great group of coaches here,” Metcalf said Wednesday. “To show you how together we are, we each contri buted equally to Guy’s record this year.” Exactly. And Metcalf and his fellow coaches — no matter how well their teams play in the tour nament — will contribute to Lewis’ record again. Phi Slama Jama rolls on. And there’s no thing anyone can do to stop it. ment, both coaches went back to the “We’re just glad to be here” line. Texas A&M, however, wants more — much more. Aggie guard Tyren Naulls said there’s pressure on the Aggies, but Texas A&M is up for the chal lenge. “Coming into a tournament like this,” Naulls said, “every game could be your last and you need confidence. And we do have confidence right now. We’re definitely prepared to handle it. There’s some (press ure), but we’re still pretty much relaxed.” Naulls said one reason the Aggies are playing better than they have all year might be the recent play of the Texas A&M guards. “We’re at our best right now,” he said. “Kenny Brown is shoot ing better than he has all year, and so is Reggie (Roberts). I feel the guards are playing very well together. We’re not ready for our season to end yet>” If the Aggies want to continue playing the first step is to get past TCU tonight at 7:30. Roy Jones said it’ll take a great team effort for the Aggies to do so. “Our first win over TCU (BO SS in overtime on Feb. 26) was a big hill that we had to get over and when we did we really started playing better and bet ter,” he said. “Now we think it will be all downhill. It’s going to be tough, but I know we’ve got it in us.” ind ;hi( io coadw .lid he to iCU bull- y lives in rs at fore he« i ik I vould lib ma City-1 ao other uted to?
