ask the Texas A&M basketball

swer yes.

SWC tourney
Rice whips TOO, 64-52
United Press International
HOUSTON — Mike Cun
ningham’s lb points and a suc
cessful delay game down the
stretch brought Rice a 64-52
win over Texas Christian Tues
day night. It was the Owls’ first
victory in the nine-year history
of the Southwest Conference
tournament.
Despite carrying only a 12-16
record, the Owls will move into
the tournament’s second round
Friday night against Texas
Tech — a 63-48 winner Tues
day evening over Baylor.
The Horned Frogs ended
their season with an 11-17 re
cord .
Rice held the lead most of the
first half and settled for a 29-25
advantage at intermission
thanks to TCU’s 36 percent
field goal shooting and eight
turnovers.
The Frogs tied the game at
33-33 early in the second half,
but a Washington stuff shot
gave the Owls the lead for good
at 37-35.
During the regular season
the SWC used a 45-second
clock, but without the clock in
operation during the tourna
ment the Owls went to their de
lay game with 8:48 remaining
and holding a three-point lead.
Tyrone Washington and
Tracy Steele each scored 14
points for the Owls, who earned
the right to host their first tour
nament game ever by finishing
sixth in the final SWC stand
ings.
Carven Holcombe had 21
joints for TCU, but the Frogs’
eading scorer, Dennis Nutt,
managed just seven. Nutt aver
aged 17.8 points per game dur
ing the regular season.
“I think our guys did a great
job,” said Rice coach Tommy
Suitts. “It’s a group of young
men who dedicated themselves
to having a good year. I’m
proud of them. I’m as happy
For them as I can be.”
Suitte praised the play of
Cunningham and Steele, but
said Washington’s performance
was a key.
“Tyrone has just carried us
from the midpoint of the con
ference season on,” the Owls
coach said. “When we had to
have a play, he got it.”
Jim Killingsworth
TCU coach
Another important element,
Suitts said, was the fact Rice
turned the ball over only eight
times all night.
“We really have kept the
turnovers to the low numbers,”
Suitts said. “I think that is a big
plus.
Bubba leads Tech past Bears
United Press International
LUBBOCK — Texas Tech’s
Bubba Jennings scored 17
points to pace the Red Raiders
to a 63-48 win over Baylor
Tuesday night in the first
round of the Southwest Confer
ence Post Season Tournament.
Tech will meet Rice in Friday
night’s second round at the
Summit in Houston.
Baylor, which finished the
conference in last place at 1-15,
kept the game close through the
first half, leading twice and tra
iling by no more than three
points.
Coming' out from a 29-27
halftime deficit, the Bears hit
the first four points of the sec
ond half witlt Paul Kuiper’s
short jumper giving them a 31-
29 lead.
Tech came back to take the
lead, strengthened by Vince
Taylor’s 16-point night, and
gradually built a 17-point sec
ond half lead.
Kuiper was the only Baylor
player to manage double fig
ures, finishing with 11 points.
With the win, lech
improved its season
record to 17-11. Bay
lor ended the year 5-
23, equaling the
school’s worst loss total
set 60 years ago.
Ray Irvin added 10 points for
die Raiders.
With the win, Tech improved
its season record to 17-11. Bay
lor ended the year 5-23, equal
ing the school’s worst loss total
set 60 years ago.
Tech coach Gerald Myers
said a bye into the tournament,
which could have been obtained
with wins over SMU last Satur
day and of the subsequent coin
toss to decide the third place
finisher between the two, would
have been nice.
Baylor coach Jim Haller said
he felt his team played hard, as
he feels it did all season despite
the record-tying number of
losses.
“The reason they were able
to beat us as handily as they did
was they killed us on the offen
sive board the second half.
They didn’t do that the first
half,” he said.
