Aggies’ Brown-Marbury
duo scorch Texas 66-61
By BRANDON BERRY
Sports Writer
AUSTIN — Ham and eggs,
scotch and water, Kenny Brown
and Don Marbury — some things
in life are just meant to go to
gether.
Brown scored 21 points (15 in
the second half) and Marbury 19
(despite recuperating from an in
jured knee) to lead Texas A&M
to a 66-61 victory over the Texas
Longhorns in Austin yesterday.
“In moneytime, Kenny
(Brown) is hard to beat,” T exas
A&M Basketball Coach Shelby
Metcalf said.
Brown rebounded from a poor
shooting first half to hit six of
seven shots in the final period —
moneytime.
“I just wasn’t making the shots
that I normally make in the first
half,” Brown said. “In the second
half, I just took my time.”
Brown, the leading free throw
shooter in the country at 96.5
percent, even missed one from
the charity stripe.
“I guess the pressure was too
much,” Brown said jokingly.
“Marbury really sparked us. He
comes in and just plays his game.”
“Coach just told me to he re
ady,” Marbury said. “(The knee)
felt alright out there.”
The cold-shooting Aggies were
trailing 23-17 when Marbury’s
defense and Brown’s offense trig
gered an Aggie run that spanned
halftime and accounted for
A&M’s first lead of the contest,
29-28 early in the second half.
Down the stretch, the Aggies
relied on the rugged interior play
of Jimmie Gilbert and Winston
Crite, who played over eight min-
utes of the second halt' n ith tout
fouls, to control Texas’ inside
game. Meanwhile, Marbury and
Brown were scorching in the
backcourt.
“But these guys have played
long enough to know what tney
totve \o do to win. This hunch is
real positive. They’re real fun to
work with.”
Especially when they just seem
to go together.
Texas AScM guard Kenny Brown (32) tries to drive past
Texas’ George Davis during the Aggies’ 66-61 victory over
the Longhorns Sunday in Austin. Brown led all scorers with
21 points. (A&M hosts Texas Tech Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.)
Montana, 49ers hit
Super Bowl jackpot
(continued from page 1)
than not, he could have been in a
rocking chair, looking around for
receivers. When there were no re
ceivers open, he simply took off.
The 49er defense, meanwhile, did
what few teams did this season
against Marino in a season in which
he shattered NFL records with 48
touchdown passes and 5,084 yards.
With few exceptions — once on
that first-quarter drive in which the
Dolphins operated twice without a
huddle to keep San Francisco from
running its multiple defenses —
Marino was forced to dump off
rather than throw his customary
deep patterns to the Marks Broth
ers, Clayton and Duper.
Much of the credit went to a sec
ondary that forced Marino out of his
quick-release rhythm and forced
him to hold the ball a second longer
as b red Dean, Dwaine Board and the
rest of the defense poured in on
him.
For the 49ers, it was also a victory
for balanced offense.
San Franciso picked up 211 yards
on the ground, with Wendell Tyler
leading the way with 65 yards in 13
carries and Craig adding 58 on 15
runs. The Dolphins, meanwhile,
could pick up only 25 against a 49er
defense that gave up only one touch
down in three playoff games.
Montana’s 59 yards on five rushes
broke the record of 37 set in Super
Bowl XIII by Dallas’ Roger Staubach
and his 331 yards, on 24-of-35 pass
ing, broke the record of 318 set by-
Pittsburgh’s Terry Bradshaw in Su
per Bow"! XIV.
Marino finished with 318 yards on
29 of 50.
Ags win battle; lose war to Texas
By BRANDON BERRY
Sports Writer
AUSTIN — The Texas A&M
women’s basketball team won the
opening tap, the battle of the boards
and a well-earned confidence
booster in their Southwest Confer
ence game with nationally-ranked
Texas Saturday in Austin.
However, the Lady Longhorns
won on the scoreboard, 80-52.
The Aggies’ performance was
more impressive than a 22-point loss
might indicate, considering the pre
sent state of women’s basketball in
the SWC.
Not only were the Aggies 1-3 in
the conference and T exas was unde
feated, but the Horns were ranked
No. 2 in the nation and were beating
SWC foes by an average of 36 points
per game.
“I’m very proud of my team,”
Texas A&M Head Coach Lynn
Hickey said. “I’ve been on the other
side of the fence and you have to
give us credit for playing very, very
hard. It would have been real easy
for a group of seniors tojust let their
heads sag and say ‘gosh, they’re Tex
as.’”
The Aggies actually outre-
bounded the taller Longhorns 48-
39. Lisa Langston led the way with
15, followed by Michell Tatum and
“Vm very ptoud of my
team. I’ve been on the
other side of the fence
and you have to give us
credit for playing^ very,
very hard. It would have
of seniors to just let their
heads sag and say''"*g0sh,'
they’re Texas.”’ ; :;i

Janet Duckham with 11 each.
“They (A&M) were very compet
itive and whipped us all over the
boards,” Texas Head Coach Jody
Conradt said. “We had real prob
lems defending Tatum inside.
“If w'e hadn’t played good de
fense, we could have been in for a
long day.”
But the Longhorns did play de
fense — good defense. Texas’ ag
gressive full-court press paid big div
idends by causing 32 Aggie
turnovers and thoroughly disrupt
ing A&M’s game plan.
The Ags only shot 39 percent
from the field and were outscored
17-0 midway through the first hall,
after taking an early 10-6 lead.
“The biggest factor was T exas
a uickness,” Hickey said. “They are
efinitely one of the better teams in
the country.”
Texas coach Conradt said the Ag
gies’ inspired performance didn’t
come as a total surprise.
“It’s a given. People are going to
play at their best against us,” she
saia. “We’re the team to beat right
now. And when have you evet
known A&M and Texas not to be
competitive regardless of their re
cords?
“They were a scrappy bunch last
year and I see they haven’t lost their
competitiveness.”
Hickey said the goal of just staying
with the Horns will change as the
women’s basketball program at
Texas A&M becomes more estab
lished.
“We just wanted to play the best
that we could play,” Hickey said,
“Someday, instead of Austin writers
calling us and asking if we’re afraid
of Texas, the College Station writers
are going to call Texas and ask them
that.”
