No. 7 Aggie netters see red
as Cougars blush at home
By MARYBETH ROHSNER
Sports Writer
The University of Houston is big
on red.
In Houston’s University Park
area, you can find red UH shirts, red
UH banners and red UH backpacks.
And, after the Texas A&M men’s
tennis team left Houston Tuesday,
there were quite a few red UH faces
— especially around the tennis
courts.
The No. 7 Aggies trounced the
Cougars 9-0 in dual-match play,
bringing the team’s overall record to
17-6. The match, which was rained
out last Saturday, was the Ags’ first
in Southwest Conference.
“It’s important to get off to a good
start in the conference,” said A&M
Men’s Coach David Kent. “We
played well right across the board.”
Unexpectedly, Houston’s top
doubles team, Steve Couch and Ger
ald Marzenell, did not play together
Tuesday. The nation’s No. 2-ranked
tandom*was split up for the match
because of disciplinary problems
with Couch.
Due to Couch’s absence, the Ags’
duo of Grant Connell and Kimmo
Alkio, ranked No. 8 nationally,
played Brent Saigeon and Greg
Thyfault instead.
A&M senior Greg Hill finished
with only three losses in singles, a
more than adequate showing for the
country’s No. 86-ranked singles
player.
“Greg has really been playing well
lately,” Kent said of the 1984 con
sensus All-American.
Kent reshuffled the No. 2 and No.
3 doubles teams after recent “emba-
rassing defeats,” but Kent said he’s
satisfied with his newly-found
“Dean’s List.” Dean Coldfine and
Dean Johnson have been paired to
form the Ags’ No. 3 doubles team
and Kent intends to “stick with it for
a while.”
Kent’s netters, even the previously
worrisome doubles, had no prob
lems pulling off a victory away from
the Omar Smith Tennis Center.
“It’s difficult to beat someone 9-0
in their home courts,” Kent said,
“but a good team has to be able to
win away from home.”
The Aggies will finish the SWC
season with a series of road trips, but
for now, they’re home to stay. A&M
hosts Baylor Friday and No. 8 Texas
on Saturday.
“W^’re used to playing two tough
matches on successive days,” Kent
said. “We get hyped up and stay
hyped up.”
Back in College Station, the A&M
women netters started out hyped
against TCU, but just couldn’t stay
hyped the entire match.
The Horned Frogs edged the Ag
gies 4-5 in dual-match play. The
women finished singles play leading
4-2, but didn’t pull out enough of
the three remaining doubles
matches to take the match.
“We were very even with TCU,”
said A&M Women’s Coach Jan Bald
win. “The breaks just went (TCU’s)
way.”
Despite losses in the all three dou
bles matches, Baldwin won’t adjust
the alignment.
“We’ve had some losses in dou
bles, but we’ve also had some very
good wins,” Baldwin said.
The No. 25 A&M women will host
Oklahoma City at the Royal Oaks
Racquet Club on Saturday. But first,
the women will have to recover from
yesterday’s loss.
“We wanted to win very badly,”
Baldwin said. “When you come that
close and don’t win, it’s disappoin
ting.”

Villanova proves it’s difficult
to repeat as NCAA champs
“I wanted my players to think of two things before the
game. One, not to play with the idea not to lose, but
play to win. And second, I wanted them to tell them-
selves they were good enough to win. In a one-shot
deal, you can beat anyone in the United States."
— Villanova Basketball Coach Roliie Massimino
Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. —The NCAA
basketball tournament again has
shown that winning successive na
tional titles is not easy, no matter
how good the team.
Defending champion George
town, the top-ranked team in the na
tion led by All-America Patrick Ew
ing, found that out Monday night in
losing to unranked Villanova, a 9*/2-
point underdog, 66-64.
Before a frenzied crowd of 23,124
in Rupp Aren^i, it took a superb ef
fort by the Wildcats — a tournament
record 78.6 field goal percentage
against the nation’s best defensive
team — to upend the Hoyas.
“I knew we were going good,” said
Villanova forward Dwayne McClain,
the game’s high scorer with 17
points, “but it was really incredible
shooting 90 percent in the second
half.”
The Wildcats, beaten twice by
Georgetown in close games during
the Big East Conference regular sea
son (52-50 in overtime and 57-50),
connected on nine of 10 shots in the
second half, and hit 22 of 28 overall,
while sinking 22 of 27 shots from the
free-throwline for the game.
“Were they perfect?” asked Hoyas
Coach John Thompson, who got his
team into the championship game in
three of the four years during the
Ewing era and won the Big East
tournament this season. “Look at the
percentage. They couldn’t get much
better.”
Georgetown came closer than any
team in recent years seeking to be
come the first school in 12 years to
win two consecutive national titles.
UCLA was the last to do it, run
ning off seven in a row through
1973. Oklahoma A&M and Ken
tucky each won two straight during
the 1940s and San Francisco, 1955-
56, and Cincinnati, 1961-62,
matched them.
“Everyone of you people said we
had no shot, we shouldn’t even have
played,” said Roliie Massimino, the
Wildcats’ coach, “But we were the
only one to hold them under 60
(points) all year.
“1 wanted my players to think of
two things before the game,” Massi
mino said. “One, not to play with the
idea not to lose, but play to win. And
second, I wanted them to tell them
selves they were good enough to
win. In a one-shot deal, you can beat
anyone in the United States.”
Only Big East rivals St. John’s and
Syracuse had beaten the Hoyas this
season — by a total of three points.
Georgetown, which had a 17-game
winning streak snapped by the Wild
cats, finished at 35-3.
Villanova, 25-10, was the only
team not ranked in The Associated
Press Top 20 ever to win the crown.
The upset ranked with North Caro
lina State (26-10) beating Houston’s
Phi Slama Jama squad 54-52 in the
1983 championship game.
During Ewing’s career, the Hoyas
won 121 games and lost only 23. In
cluded among the setbacks was a 63-
62 loss to North Carolina in the 1982
NCAA title game.
