For Houston Cougar vol
leyball coach Dave Olbright, the
road to the NCAA playoffs be
gins tonight with the Texas
Aggies.
Throw in a revenge motive
and things get downright se
rious. In fact, when the Aggies
take the court at Jeppesen Field-
house for the 7:30 p.m. start,
Olbright says his players will be
more than ready for them.
“The kids are looking for
ward to it a great deal,” Olbright
said. “This is definitely going to
be a grudge match for us.”
The Aggies swept the
Cougars in three games during
their meeting in G. Rollie White
Coliseum, and Olbright is hop
ing his squad can return the
favor. And depending on what

ghorns do the rest of the season.
volleyball team well
of Cougar flrepowe
the Aggie-Cougar match could
determine second place in the
Southwest Conference — an im
portant spot to be in when the
NCAA comes around to hand
out post-season tournament
bids.
This is where it gets confus
ing. The Longhorns are sport
ing a perfect 7-0 record, with
matches left against Texas Tech
(tonight), Baylor (Monday) and
A&M (Nov. 16). The Aggies are
currently 1/2 game behind the
Longhorns, with just Houston
and Texas left to play. And
Houston, with a SWC record of
4-3, trails both Texas and A&M.
A win over Houston would
give the Aggies a shot at tying for
the SWC championship against
Texas Nov. 16. A Houston win
over A&M, coupled with an
A&M loss to Texas, would give
the Cougars a tie for second.
The first place SWC team re
ceives an automatic bid. The
Cougars and Aggies are hoping
for an at-large bid.
“We didn’t play well up there
(College Station),” Olbright
said, “and hopefully we’ll have
some momentum. We love to
E lay at home and we’ll definitely
ave the advantage with the
crowd and the coziness of our
gym. It should be a good one.”
A&M coach Terry Condon
agreed.

for Hawaii ‘bowl game
United Press International
NORMAN, Okla. — The
Oklahoma Sooners may not go
bowl-ing in the traditional sense
but they will have a bowl game of
sorts, coach Barry Switzer said
Tuesday.
Up until last Saturday there
still were hopes for a Big Eight
championship and with it the
host role in the Orange Bowl,
but the loss to Missouri took care
of that.
The 10-0 loss at Columbia
dropped the Sooners’ record to
6-3 and the three losses knocked
them out of the top 20 ratings
for the first time this season.
It also apparently knocked
them out of consideration for
any bowl that may have been
thinking about extending an in
vitation.
At his weekly media lun
