Page 16/The Battalion/Monday, January 30, 1984 Ags ‘technically’ lose to Raiders By DAVE SCOTT Sports Writer Saturday was a bad day in West Texas for both of Texas A&M’s basketball teams. Both the men’s and women’s teams lost by large scores to Texas Tech. The men’s game was close and controversial for the most part while the women’s was a blow out from the opening tip. The men were beaten 74-49 by a late Red Raider rally and the women lost handily by a 33- point margin, 92-59. The men held a two-point advantage at the half, 31-29, and kept the game close until the fin al seven minutes, that was the close part. The Raiders then went on a 25-2 scoring streak with 19 of those points coming on free throws. Then came the controversial part. During that final stretch, the Aggies, down by 14 points, were called for three technical fouls, two on junior guard Dar nell Williams, which resulted in _ his ejection from the game. The same referee who had just whistled Williams for a foul called a technical on Williams as they lined up to shoot the foul shots. When coach Shelby Metcalf left the coach’s box for an expla nation, he was called for another technical. With the original foul shots and the two technicals, Tech had five straight shots from the line — and made all five. A few seconds later Williams was called for his second tech nical. Metcalf says he has doubts ab- out the calls. “I question whether they were warranted or not,” he said. But Metcalf also admitted that calls like that happen. The only way to get good offi ciating is to have a good team. That is, if a team is good enough, questionable calls won’t hurt the team. But the Aggies have not yet reached that point. “We’re just not good enough to overcome a lot adversity like that, especially on the road,” Metcalf said. However, the Aggies were already falling out of the game when the technicals occurred. Metcalf thinks he has an expla nation for why the Aggies col lapsed after a strong first half.

The Aggies fell to 4-4 in the conference and 11-8 overall. Jimmie Gilbert hit 13 of his 15 points in the first half for the Aggies.

Laimbeer, substituting for the injured Moses Malone Sun day, scored 13 points — all of them in the final period. At the end of regulation, the game was tied at 132-132 and then Julius Erving and Andrew Toney com bined for 15 points to lead the East to a 154-145 victory over the West. Erving lead all scorers with 34 points. “I only expected to play about Monday - Thursday Aggie Special A mini pizza, small soft drink, corporate fan club membership card, and $5.00 worth of game tokens for $4.95 with this coupon.

Jones) for putting me in. “It really helped to have him and Kelly Tripucka in the game at the same time." Laimbeer, Thomas and Tri pucka are all teammates with the Detroit Pistons. The West squad’s last chance for a victory came at the final buzzer of regulation when Magic Johnson’s long jumper missed. “When I saw it didn’t go in, I just said ‘damn,’” said Johnson, who handed out a game-record 22 assists. “I just let it go too hard.” West coach Frank Layden said he was drained after the contest and compared it to the Super Bowl. The game was the highest scoring in the 34-year history of the midseason contest. The 299 total points broke the previous record for most points in an All- Star game — 284 set in a 153-131 West victory in 1961.
