No. 2 SMU
too much
for Texas
Associated Press
SMU 54, Texas 46
AUSTIN — The Texas Long
horns resorted to what seemed the
best method to foil No. 2 Southern
Methodist, but the Mustangs cele
brated their highest college basket
ball ranking ever with a 54-46 South
west Conference victory Wednesday
night.
The Longhorns tried to control
the tempo of the game with a careful
shot selection, but failed to hit
enough baskets to make the scheme
work,
“They did a great job dictating the
tempo,” said SMU Coach Dave Bliss.
“Defensive impatience and those
turnovers caused us problems and
kept the game close.”
Texas Coach Bob Weltlich said
that when you play against a top-
ranked team, using up the clock is
the best approach.
“When you do that, you have to
shoot well from the perimeter and
we weren’t doing that,” Weltlich
said.
Olympian Jon KoncakofSMU led
all scorers with 18 points. The 7-foot
senior also pulled down 10 rebounds
and scored three consecutive field
f oals in the last five minutes to give
MU its cushion before 11,499 in
the Frank Erwin Special Events Cen
ter.
“(Koncak’s) a great player,” Welt
lich said. “He poses a lot of prob
lems. He’s a really good, highly intel
ligent player.I don’t know that much
about the other ranked teams, but it
seems SMU deserves their ranking.”
The crowd, the largest at Texas
since Weltlich took over as head
coach three years ago, saw SMU lift
its record to 16-1 overall and 6-0 in
the SWC. Texas fell to 10-7 and 3-4.
Koncak also swatted away at least
three field goal attempts by Texas’ 6-
10 John Brownlee, who scored just
10 points — about eight below his
SWC average.
Carlton Cooper led Texas with 14
points, including 10 in the second
half. Mike Wacker and Alex Broad
way each had 10 points for the
Longhorns.
SMU got 10 points from Carl
Wi ight, but the touted Mustang for
ward turned the ball over three
tunes.
Texas led only ortc^ 22-20, with
about three minutes left in the first
half, but two field goals by Kevin Le-

wis gave SMU a 24-22 halftime lead.
In an effort to stay close, Texas
repeatedly used up most of the 45
seconds on its shot clock and often
had to throw up a last-second field
goal attempt against the Southern
Methodist zone.
SMU only this week moved up to
No. 2 behind Georgetown. It’s the
first year since 1967 that the Mus
tangs have ranked among the na
tion’s top 10 college basketball
teams.
