Brown
By TRAVIS TINGLE
Sports Editor
What Texas A&M lacked in in
tensity in its loss to St. Mary’s last
week, it made up for Wednesday
night.
Aggie forward Kenny Brown
proved what a week’s worth of
tough workouts can do for one’s
intensity level. Brown scored a ca
reer-high 29 points to help the
Ags edge the Oral Roberts Titans
71-70 In G. Rollie White Col
iseum.
Brown had only 8 points at the
half and the Aggies only held a
slim 36-33 lead. But the second
half saw the Aggies, Brown in
cluded, assert themselves offen
sively and defensively. When the
season’s first episode of “Kenny
Brown and Friends,” finally
rolled the credits, A&M had im
proved its record to 2-1 and
Brown had something to tell his
grandchildren about — a 21-
point second half scoring spree.
Besides Brown’s stellar perfor
mance, A&M Head Coach Shelby
Metcalf also received good per
formances from guard Todd
Holloway, who had 16 points,
center Jimmie Gilbert, who
chipped in 12, and forward
Winston Crite, who had 10.
The Aggies outrebounded the
Titans 33-29 and dominated the
defensive boards almost the en
tire game.
“The defensive rebounds were
the key,” Brown said. “We’re a
small team, so we know we have
to crash the boards to hang in
there with the bigger teams.”
Crite said the St. Mary’s upset
last Wednesday did nothing but
help the Ags against an Oral Rob
erts team that lost to No. 13 LSU
this season by only 3 points.
“Intensity,” Crite said. “That
was the difference tonight. The
loss to St. Mary’s made us realize
we have to be intense every game
to expect to win.”
spurs Ags past ORU
Oral Roberts’ Butch Berry scrambles
amongst Texas A&M’s Don Marbury (3),
Kenny Brown (center) and Winston Crite
(21) for a loose ball during the Aggies’ 71- 70
victory Wednesday. A&M travels to Edin
burg Saturday to take on Pan American.
Metcalf was pleased with his
team’s intensity level.
“I thought we got 40 minutes
of intense effort out there to
night,” Metcalf said. “It’s funny.
We got beat on the boards bad
last week, then we come out here
and beat this team. I guess we
weren’t mentally ready to play,
(St. Mary’s).”
The Ags had chances to put
the game away with nine minutes
left in the second hcilf, leading by
nine. ORU quickly cut the lead to
55-50 and, after that, the Ags
couldn’t seem to shake the pesky
Titans.
After Brown hit a clutch
jumpshot with just :40 remaining
to give the Ags a 67-64 lead,
ORU’s Sam Potter came up with a
clutch shot of his own — an 18-
foot jumper to pull the Titans
within one.
ORU fouled Holloway on the
in-bounds play with just :22 left
in the game. Holloway cooly
stepped up to the free throw line
and sank both ends of a one-and-
one, giving the Ags a comfortable
69-66 lead.
Well, maybe not thnt comfort
able.
Titans’ forward Jeff Acres hit a
6-foot jumper to cut the lead to
one again, 69-68, with just .12
left. ORU pressed the Ags deep
in the backcourt, hoping for the
turnover, but Holloway raced the
length of the court, after an “im
promptu” lobbed pass, for an
easy layup as time ran out.
Time runs out on
the Titans again
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
Assistant Sports Editor
For the third game in a row, time
ran out on the Oral Roberts Univer
sity Titans.
After losing to Tulsa by four and
LSU by three, the Titans lost a 71-70
heartbreaker to the Texas Aggies
Wednesday night.
ORU Head Coach Dick Acres was
upset that the Titans (1-3) lost, but
felt his team played well enough to
win.
“We’re very disappointed,” Acres
said. “To build confidence, you’ve
got to win some. Good clubs win the
close ones. We’ve lost three close
ones. We were hungry for victory.
We really wanted to leave here 2-2
on our way to North Carolina (to
play the Tar Heels Saturday night).
We just have to regroup and pray a
lot.
“We didn’t have one turnover in
the second half. We just need to play
as well in the first half as we do in the
second.”
ORU forward Sam Potter kept the
Titans in the game. In the middle of
the second half, it seemed as if he
and A&M’s Kenny Brown were in
volved in a shooting contest when
the two began alternating outside
jumpers.
Potter finished the second half
with 14 points and missed only one
shot. For the game, he was 11 of 14
from the floor scoring a team-high
22 points.
,f They sagged in two guards on
(Titan center) Mark (Acres),” Potter
said. “That left me wide open. I like
playing against zone defenses. My
shots were just going in tonight. This
was my best game. I really haven’t
shot that well this year. I just hope it
keeps up.”
Potter was impressed with Brown,
the Aggie’s forward.
“That No. 32 • (Brown) is a phe
nomenal shooter,” Potter said. “We
knew he was good, but we didn’t ex
pect him to be that good.”
Titan All-American Mark Acres,
who was averaging 16 points a game,
was shut down by the A&M defense.
With scouts from the National Bas
ketball Association’s Dallas Maver
icks on hand, Acres finished with 11
points and was only 4 of 12 from the
field.
Acres became frustrated with the
referees’ calls and his shooting in the
second half.
“It was pretty physical from the
start,” said Acres, whose father is
Coach Dick and brother is starting
forward Jeff. “You don’t always get
the calls on the road, but that’s not
what beat us. I was a little frustrated
that I couldn’t get my offensive
game going.”
Coach Acres said the Titans point
guards lack of offensive production
shut down ORU’s inside game. The
Titan guards finished with 23
points. Butch Berry had 6 points,
Charles Dorsey 15 and Willie Irons
2.
“Our point guards were reluctant
to shoot,” Acres said. “That just
makes it easier for the defense.
A&M just gave our point guards the
shot. They were smart. They took
the shots away from our ‘name’
shooters and forced our point
guards to shoot, but they just
wouldn’t take the shot. Even Dorsey
was relucatant to shoot.”
Acres said the crowd may have af
fected Irons, a freshman.
“Let’s face it,” Acres said. “He’s 17
years old and going away from home
for the first time. This is his first
road trip.”
The Titans beat the Aggies 84-66
in Tulsa last year. The Titan’s said
the Ags were a much improved team
from a year ago.
“They played real well,” Potter
said. “Their big people went in hard
and their guards created turnovers.
They were just making the tough
shots and the free throws. They did
what it takes to win. They have a
good team — a lot better than when
we played them last year.”
