NEWSWEEK A&M hopes to avoid 1 , 0 bizarre against Rice n Asi By BRANDON BERRY Spoils Writer When Texas A&M and Rice get together, in any sport, bizarre hap penings abound. Aggie head basketball coach Shelby Metcalf remembers a prime example. “When we went down there one time, a group of about 10 or 15 (Rice students) were waiting for us outside our bus, mooning us,” Metcalf said. “And two of them were girls.” Metcalf hopes his Aggies won’t be caught with tneir pants down as they embark on a two-game road swing. The Ags take on the Owls tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Autry Court in Hous ton. T he Ags moved into a three-way tie for second place in the Southwest Conference with Houston and Texas Tech after last Sunday’s 71-69 win over the Cougars. But Metcalf said A&M can’t afford to look past Rice. “A lot of people forget that (Rice) has beaten Lamar, lulane and Notre Dame down in their place,” Metcalf said. “They had Houston beat if they would have just hit their tree throws. T hey’re a good basket ball team.” After jumping out to a 7-3 record at the start of the season, Rice’s per formance has been less than mem- ‘'A lot of people forget that (Rice) has beaten mar, Tulane and Notre Dame down in their place.

The Owls are now 1-6 in the conference, 8-9 overall, and tied for last place with Baylor. Metcall said Rice’s conference re cord is somewhat misleading. “There’s not a weak team in the conference," he said. “(Rice) plays hard anci they play good defense. They have some really good athletes who can jump." One of these “jumping Owls" is senior forward Tony Barnett, aver aging 15.5 points pet game to lead Rice in scoring.

It started when SMU Coach Dave Bliss closed the locker room to the media after Saturday’s loss to the Red Raiders. “T here wasn’t enough room to move,” Bliss explained. On Monday morning, he banned player interviews be tween 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to elimi nate distractions immediately be fore and during workouts. And by Monday afternoon, he had closed practices. In short, it looks as though the Mustangs are beginning to forgo hype and concentrate on inner peace. “You know you’re going to lose sooner or later, but you hope it’s later,” Bliss said. The loss was SMU’s first in conference t)Iay and dropped its Southwest Conference record to 6-1, just one game ahead of Houston, Texas A&M and Texas Tech.It also caused the Mus tangs, 16-2 overall, to drop from second to fourth in the Asso ciated Press poll. eading ad ■leing the p egc athlete SMU Mustangs “We’re real disappointed about losing the ball game,” Bliss told the Dallas Times Herald. “But I hope there’s no reason to panic.” T he defeat has prompted play ers to redouble their efforts m preparation for Wednesday night’s important conference game against Houston. “We let that No. 2 stuff get to our head.” said SMU guard Butch Moore. “We didn’t work out the way we should have for Tech.” Mustang center Jon Koncak, who tied his Beisler c iopal chan 4otre Da bout. ; |We ire r rein the N jation in i “tes,” he si ■Rent of c —'LEAN GR SMU’s Dave Bliss (LIMIT 2 E formanct of the season witlt BEEF SID points Saturday against thefc AVG.
