Tech ends Aggie season
By BOB CASTER
Sports Writer
The Texas Tech Red Raiders
left G. Rollie White Coliseum
with their 10th Southwest Con
ference win Thursday night,
beating the Texas Aggies 62-53,
and denying A&M their final
chance to pull together a break
even record.
Kenny Brown, hitting what
have become his trademark out
side jump shots, and Winston
Crite, working under the
bucket, kept the Aggies close to
the RedRaiders during a first
half that ended in a 23-23 tie.
Brown led the Aggies in scoring
with 15 points while Crite had
13, nine of which came in the
second half.
But with 8:51 left in the sec
ond half came the play that put
Tech on top for the re$,t of the
night. That play was an alley-
oop pass from Tony Benford to
junior forward Vince Taylor
which he promptly stuffed into
the basket, practically up to his
elbows.
“On the alley-oop play, I just
looked up and the ball was
there,” Taylor said after the
game. “We ran that some last
year but that was the first time
this year. It was a big play but it
wasn’t the only play that made a
difference.”
Even so, it was an important
play — one that forced the Ag
gies to play catch-up ball late in
the first half. And the Aggies
couldn’t catch up.
The Aggies’ head coach
Shelby Metcalf tried to analyze
the breakdown after the loss.
“If we win, it’s because we’ve
got great players,” he said. “If
we lose it’s because I’m a lousy
coach. I’ve always told the guys
‘you take the wins, I’ll take the
losses.’”
But Metcalf said he felt the
Aggies’ biggest problem was en
countered at the free-throw
line. A&M hit only 19 of 33 free
shots for 57.6 percent.
“Basically we lost at the free
throw line,” Metcalf said. “This
late in the season, it’s disap
pointing to miss that many free
throws, it all goes back to the
mental aspects of the game.”
But maybe the Aggies’ big
gest problem of all was just not
being prepared.
“They’re good,” Brown said.
“I just don’t think we were up
enough tonight — we just didn’t
play hard enough to win.”
Both Metcalf and his players
said they had not had good
practices going into the Tech
game and that much of the
problem may have been there.
The Aggies remained in fifth
place in the SWC standings, re
gardless of Thursday’s out
come.
“I knew before the game we
had problems,” Metcalf said.
“The guys weren’t ready to play
and if they don’t play hard for
40 minutes, we don’t have a
chance. We’ve got to play hard
all the time and we didn’t do
that tonight.
“We’re the smallest team in
the conference and we’ve got to
play hard. We give away height
at key positions and we have to
play with a lot of intensity to
make up for that.”
With the regular season be
hind them now, the Aggies turn
to the first round of the SWC
playoffs where they will face the
winner of Saturday’s TCU-
Texas match-up.

SMU leads SWC swimming
United Press International
AUSTIN — Southern Methodist,
buoyed by record performances from
Richard Prado and Chuck Panthier, took
the first-day lead over Texas in the South
west Conference Swimming and Diving
Championships.
As expected, the meet is a battle be
tween SMU and Texas. The Mustangs led
after eight events with a score of 260‘/a
while Texas held a 237. Arkansas trailed
in third with 1 16‘/a.
At the end of six events Texas A&M was
in fourth place with 44 points.
In the opening event, Panthier set a
conference meet record in the 50-yard
butterfly with a time of 21.85 to beat tea
mmates Mike Short, John Spaulding and
Bart Ebbinghaus in the Mustang sweep of
the first four places.
Texas A&M’s Chris O’Neil finished a
disappointing sixth in the 50-fly.
Prado later set a conference meet re
cord in the 200-yard individual medley
with a time of 1:46.96, more than a second
faster than the previous mark of 1:48.19
by Bill Stafford of Texas.
SMU also claimed firsts in the 50-yard
backstroke with Mook Rhodenbaugh’s
22.80 and in the 500-yard freestyle with
Cory Robinson’s 4:24.32.
Texas took a first in the 50-yard
breaststroke with a 25.48 from Stuart
Smith.
Siong Ang Peng of Houston broke the
Texas-SMU lock on firsts in the final
event Thursday with a 19.77 to win the
50-yard freestyle.
On the battle with Texas, Panthier said,
“We have as good a chance at beating
them as they do of beating us. But it will
be close. It will probably come down to the
last couple of events, on the last day. The
kev for us is the relays. ”
