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-

orable. 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. Barnett is also the
tallest Owl at 6-foot-8.

Associated Press
DALLAS — It isn’t exactly
Fort Bliss yet, but a touch of the
bunker mentality seems to be set
tling in at Southern Methodist in
the wake of the Mustangs’ 64-63
defeat by Texas Tech.
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.

“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.”
