Free throws piece
of cake for Brown
ags
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
Assistant Sports Editor
After “high-flving” with his team
mates, he approaches the free throw
line. He practices his form a few
times, bounces the basketball a few
times and then, swish — nothing but
net.
For Texas A&M guard Kenny
Brown, free throws are a piece of
cake. No problem.
“I could always shoot free throws
all right,” Brown said. “It’s no big
deal.”
Currently, Brown is hitting 92.1
percent, which puts him third in the
nation. He led the nation in free
throws for the first part of the sea
son and, at one time, had a string of
25 in a row.
Last season was a different story.
Brown hit only 72.8 percent of his
free throws, and only 65.9 in South
west Conference play. He didn’t
even lead the Aggies in free throw
percentage, much less the nation.
“I’m just taking more time on the
line,” Brown said. “They just hap
pen to be going in.
“I wish I wasn’t leading the nation
to tell you the truth. Everytime I
miss it’s ‘oh, you missed.’ I try to look
at it as no big deal. I would rather hit
field goals than free throws. People
keep talking about it. It gets on my
nerves really.”
The junior from Memphis,
Term., has better things to talk
about, like the Aggies’ successful ’85
campaign.
“We’re in a good position,” Brown
said. “We made a mistake at the end
of the SMU game that hurt us, but
maybe we lost to a better team that
game. We sure shouldn’t have lost to
Arkansas.”
Brown said having four starters
return from last year’s team made
the Ags a SWC contender.
“I thought we had a good team
last year,” Brown said. “We just
weren’t experienced. We’re kind of
like vets now. We’re really coming
together as a team. We play together
and make as few mistakes as possi
ble.”
Brown, 25, said A&M’s goal is to
finish in the top three of the SWC.
“We really don’t want to finish any
lower than third,” he said. “And we
wint to go higher than that. We have
a chance to win the conference.
That’s a goal I would like.”
Brown and teammate A1 Pulliam
came to A&M after serving time in
the military. Teammate Gary Lewis,
was responsible for getting Bfown to
A&M.
“When I was in the service, I
would go to a gym in Tuscon,”
Brown said. “Gary’s dad (who was a
teammate of Aggie Hebd Coach
Shelby Metcalf’s on an Air Force
team in Germany) told Coach Met
calf about me.
“Coach Metcalf called me up. I
came down here and visited and
liked it, so I’m here. I had an offer
from Arizona as well, but I was re
ady to leave Arizona. I thought this
was a good place to come.”
When Brown entered A&M, he
was purely a perimeter shooter. He
averaged 9.6 and 11.8 points per
game in his first two years as an Ag
gie.
Having improved in all facets of
the game. Brown has upped his av
erage to 18.2 points per game this
season and has scored in double fig
ures every game.
The Jan. 23 game agbinst Texas
Tech was Brown’s only bad game
this season. Brown scored only 10
points and overall had a lacklustere
performance.
Texas A&M’s Kenny Brown
reacts to an official’s call.
“I’ve been going pretty good,”
Brown said. “I don’t know what hap
pened at Tech. If I would have kept
shooting at Tech, I’m sure it would
have come. But, if. I’m not hitting, I
look for other people.”
Metcalf said, “Kenny’s poor per
formance wouldn’t have been so no
ticeable if he wasn’t so important to
us.”
What Brown won’t tell you is that
he missed the practice before the
Tech game because he had to attend
a lab. However, one game does not a
season make, as Brown has proved.
Opposing coaches and players have
nothing but compliments for Brown.
Arkansas Assistant Coach James
Dickey said Brown is the key to stop
ping the Ags.
“He has great range and is capa
ble of scoring 30,” Dickey said.
“You’ve got to keep Brown from
having a big night.”
Against Oral Roberts on Dec. 5,
Brown had a season high 29 points.
ORU forward Sdm Potter was only
one of many Titans who were im
pressed with Brown.
“That No. 32 is a phenomenal
shooter,” Potter said. “We knew he
was good, but we didn’t expect him
to be that good.”
More than one team has been
burned when all their thoughts were
centered on Brown.
“We came in (against A&M on
Dec. 8) thinking ‘Brown, Brown,
Brown,’ and we left knowing all
about Todd Hollowly,” Pan Ameri
can Head Coach Lon Kruger said.
The Broncs lost 74-53 to the Ags
behind Holloway’s 28 points.
Most see Brown in the NBA after
next season, but Brown said that
isn’t his biggest concern right now.
“It has crossed my mind,” Brown
said. “I’m trying not to put my
thoughts into that. I’ll play one more
year and see what happens. I just
want to finish school ana get my de
gree so I’ll have something to fall
back on.”
The parks and recreation major
would like to work in a gym after
graduating.
“I like working in gyms,” he said.
“I might like to work with some type
of recreation in the service. I like the
way they handle things.”
