age 14/The Battalion/Monday; January 23, 1984 Women fall to By BONN FRIEDMAN Sports Editor The cavernous interior of G. pllie White wasn’t shaking *om the roar of an overflow ^owd Saturday night. And on Jie court, the players weren’t 'oating hands high above the jtm fighting for the ball. In- ‘ead, they were diving across jie floor, and pulling down re- ounds closer to the ground. From the opening tip-off the '.ggie women’s basketball team ' >und itself in a physical basket- game against the University of Arkansas. Lisa Langston, the team’s leading scorer this sea son, was hit above the left eye by a swinging elbow as she tipped off. Langston spent the opening minutes of the game on the side lines wearing a bag of ice over her eye. The Aggies were slowed by Langston’s absence and never recovered, losing 69-63. They are now 1-3 in conference play and 8-6 on the season. Even though Langston mis sed just the first few minutes of the game she was both physically and mentally shaken from the blow to her head. Langston, a 48 percent shooter this season from the field, hit just percent of 12 shots from the field. After the game Langston complained that her vision s still a bit fuzzy and her timing was out of sync. “I just couldn’t get on track,” she said. “I was trying to rush everything to make up for the time I lost when I was out.” “When Mary Ann is in the game, their ballhandler can’t rest,” Rapp said. “She is so fast the referees sometimes make calls on her when she doest foul. But, we have no reason to com plain. I’m sure we got away with some that didn’t get called.” Despite shooting only 39.3 percent from the floor, the Aggies managed to stay within 1 point in the first half, 30-29. Arkansas grabbed the tip to start the second half, but Mary Ann Swearngin stole the ball and was fouled as she drove to the basket. Swearngin, who had four steals, hit one of the two shots and the game was tied at 30. The lead continued to flip- flop until Arkansas came down the court with a 58-54 lead. For 29 seconds the Aggies protected the basket, but just as the 30- second clock was about to ex pire, Tracy Webb swished a 15- footer for a 60-54 Arkansas lead. The closest the Aggies could get was 66-63. Kentucky whips Coogs Aggie center Michell Tatum led the team with 18 points and 8 rebounds. Shortly thereafter, Swearn gin went for a steal and was charged with her fourth foul, c h 1 Coach Cherri Rapp took her out Arkansas, 11-4 for the season and 3-1 in SWC play, was lead by center Amanda Holley who had 20 points. United Press International Fifth-ranked Houston was beaten by No. 3 Kentucky, 74- 67, Sunday because the Cougars’ tower of power, 7-foot Akeem “The Dream” Olajuwon, spent much of the game on the bench in foul trouble.

Sam Bowie, the Wildcats’ 7-foot for ward, grabbed 18 rebounds. Houston’s fate was sealed when Olajuwon got his fourth foul with 15:24 remaining in the game. He went on to foul out at the 6:14 mark after collecting 14 points and 12 rebounds. Ten of Olajuwon’s points were made in the first half. “We don’t have as many big horses to put in there as they do,” Houston Coach Guy Lewis said. “If you have two 7-footers to put in there against one 7- footer the intimidation ought to work out to about two to one.” Kentucky led 35-31 at inter mission after being behind most of the first half. The Wildcats, 14-2, picked up the lead for the first time in the game, 28-27, on a free throw by James Blackmon with 3:01 left in the half. Alvin Franklin led Houston with 25 points, but the only play er other than Franklin or Ola juwon in double figures for the Cougars, 16-3, was Michael Young with 11. “As I said earlier, I thought that it would be the kind of a game that we needed, and it turned out to be just that,” said Kentucky Coach Joe B. Hall. “It was a good game to get out and run. There was a lot of action and a lot of great plays. I think our players enjoyed the game. To come back like we did took a lot of poise. I thought we played with tremendous aggressive ness. We really came throujl the way a good team should. “Houston is a fine balldi that likes to play much thesanut style that we do, and it madefotl a real good game. It wasil goodand it did a lot of good fa f us. Even with the turnovers ant f missed free throws, we still pbn l ed a good game.” In another game Sundail Louisville upset 1 lth-rankci!|j UCLA, 86-78.
