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,

Arkansas, 11-4 for the season
and 3-1 in SWC play, was lead by
center Amanda Holley who had
20 points.

points and grabbed 10 rebounds
and 6-11 Melvin Turpin had 19
points and pulled down 11 re
bounds to spark the Wildcats to
victory at Rupp Arena. 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.”
