Men cagers find going
tough in Tennessee
By DOUG HALL
Sports Writer
The No. 17 Oklahoma women's
basketball team handed Texas A&M
its worst defeat this season, a 93-62
trampling Friday night in Norman,
Okla.
"We just couldn’t score," A&M
Coach Lynn Hickey said of the Ags,
who shot a weak 31.9 percent from
the field. “When we couldn’t score,
we didn’t know how to react. That’s
the first time all season that has hap
pened."
Evelyn Sanders and Lisa Langston
paced the Ags with 14 and 12 points
respectively.
The Sooners took a commanding
22-point lead within the first 10 min
utes of the game and never relin
quished it.
“After the first 10 minutes, it
wasn’t had,” Hickey said. “We
matched them pretty well after that.
1 don’t think it (such a poor perfor
mance) will happen again. They
tried hard, but it just wasn’t their
night."
Hickev attributed the Ags’ loss to
an overall lack of aggressiveness and
weak inside play. The Sooners won
the battle of the boards 48-40.
“We got hurt on the inside game
and just didn’t get back on defense,”
Hickey said. “We need work on our
intensity all over the floor. We’re
past the time where we can say we’re
young and that we expect these kind
of games.”
Oklahoma used a balanced scor
ing attack, with four of its starting
five finishing in double figures, to
improve their record to 5-0.
Aggies advance in NCAAs
OU is a veteran squad,” Hickey
said. “By far, they are the best team
we have played.”
But front listening to Hickey, it
would be unwise for any team to
take the Lady Ags lightly.
“I’m very proud of this team,” she
said. “We’re off to really good start
at 4-2. We’re still a very young team
(with 11 newcomers to the squad).
The thing you have to understand
about young teams is that they have
to be pushed hard until they realize
their potential.”
After Friday night’s game, Hickey
did just that. Following the seven-
hour bus ride home, the players got
off the bus, went in to the gym and
had a two-hour practice.
“They have a really good attitu
de," she said. “Everything they say is
still, ‘yes ma’am, no ma’am.’ So long
as we have that, we’ll be okay.”
Men’s Basketball
Texas A&M and four other
Southwest Conference basketball
teams were defeated Saturday, leav
ing Southern Methodist as the only
unneaten team in the conference.
Arkansas, Baylor, and Texas
Christian were Bounced from the
unblemished ranks while SMU ad
mired its 4-0 ledger, which was com
piled against some weak teams.
Texas Tech rounded out the ranks
of defeated SWC teams.
SMU doesn’t play again until the
Dallas Morning News Classic, which
begins Friday. The Mustangs will
open against North T exas State and
should they survive, the winner of
the Illinois State-McNeese State
game will play them on Saturday.
Tennessee drilled Texas A&M 86-
70 although Don Marbury had 31
points for A&M. The Aggies, 2-3,
couldn’t handle guard Tony White,
who scored 34 points for the Volun
teers.
(continued from page 11)
Brinkman didn't place all the blame
on the setting.
“We were having a hard time in
the middle," Brinkman agreed.
“The sets were real low. But you
have to remember, the setter is the
hardest position on the court. Be
sides just playing, they have to quar
terback our team. All the pressure is
on them.”
So with senior Brinkman out ot
commission, and the match full of
high-pressure situations, the Ags
looked to their freshman.
And Steensma, with 16 kills and a
.260 hitting percentage, delivered in
the clutch like a veteran.
“Cheri’s playing very well," Con
don said. ‘Tor a freshman, she made
some very nice shots. She got
trapped a couple of times, but she
tapped the ball and used the blocks."
Although Steensma was playing in
her first NCAA post-season match,
the 5-foot-10 Californian said she $
was oblivious to the pressure.
“I really wasn't nervous at all,”
Steensma said. “It felt like a normal
match. In fact, I really don’t even re
member any particular plays or a
particular game. I was just taking it
one step at a time.”
For awhile it was a toe-to-toe bat
tle between freshmen Steensma and
Oliveira.
Oliveira, a left-handed hitter f rom
Uruguay, had 16 kills and hit .217.
Her play in the fourth game helped
the Mavs win that one easily.
So a match the Aggies were ex
pected to have to only go through
the motions to win turned into a tio-
or-die situation. One game and the
Aggies were ready for burial.
‘Tt was one of the most exciting
matches we’ve been in,” Love said.
“When it goes to game five, you can
toss a coin.”
And the coin came up on A&M’s
side.
With the Ags leading 9-8 in the fi
nal game, they decided it was time to
turn the power on for the first time.
Outside hitter Stacey Gildner,
who had 17 kills and a .261, and
Spence, who hit .389 with 15 kills,
arose and sent the Mavericks into hi
bernation until next season.
“We gave them too many oppor
tunities to score,” Condon said, we
didn’t want to get into long rallies
with them. We needed a power
game. We needed to pass, set and
hit. We did at times. We did it in the
fifth game the last five or six points.
I guess that’s fine.”
Love said the difference in the
match was the serve-receive play of
the Mavs.
“You have to give credit where
credit is due,” she said. “A&M
served well. In the three games we
lost, we broke down in our serve-re
ceive. Up to game five, we did what
we had to do to win the match. The
breaks in the fifth game went their
way. But, hey, 15-10 is a credible
score.”
Now in the Final 16, the next
obstacle to clear will be the No. 8
’Horns, a team the Aggies haven’t
defeated since 1981. UT beat
twice in SWC play this season.
But the Ags are singing a new

A&M’s Sherri Brinkman shows her elation after the
UTA Saturday and advanced to play Texas in the South
song this time, although with every
one saying it, it almost sounded like
a broken record.
“Third time’s a charm and that’s
all I’m going to say,” Steensma said.
Beaklev is glacf the setters have a
chance for redemption and she’s
glad it will he against Texas.
“I’m real disappointed (with the
UTA match) in a way,’’ Beaklev said.
“We, as setters, were inconsistent.
