58-56 game
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS

The Texas A&M basketball team
had everything going its way Satur
day night against SMU — a three-
game win streak, a 9-0 record at
home, the largest home crowd all
year, sole possession of first place in
the Southwest Conference and a
couple of SMU mistakes.
For most of the 40-minute game,
it looked like the Aggies would walk
off the court winners.
But in only 1:51 the Ags turned
from winners to losers and fell from
their throne above the SWC to sec
ond place.
The Mustangs 58-56 win over the
Ags in front of 7,464 vocal fans at G.
Rollie White Coliseum left TCU and
Texas tied for first at 9-2 while A&M
slipped a half-game off the pace at 8-
2.
The Aggies gave the Ponies three
chances to win the game and the
third one was a charm.
With 1:51 remaining, SMU had
the ball with the game tied 56-56.
Mustang guard Scott Johnson
tried to force a shot up and missed.
But SMU forward Terry Thomas
was there for the rebound with 1:10
showing on the clock.
Then Pony forward Kevin Lewis
missed, only to have Johnson grab
the rebound with 20 seconds left.
“There at the end, I couldn’t be
lieve we got two offensive rebounds
in a row,” SMU Coach Dave Bliss
said. “We haven’t done that all sea
son.”
With the clock winding down, the
Mustangs were playing for the last
shot. But A&M guard Gary Lewis
fouled Kevin Lewis, who calmly sank
both for a 58-56 SMU lead.
“You’ll have to ask Gary (if he in
tended to foul Kevin Lewis),” A&M
Coach Shelby Metcalf said. “When
we lost the ball game was when we
had two chances to get the rebound.
The first time the clock was still on
and we didn’t get (the rebound). If
we do, it’s us playing for the last
shot.”
After inbounding the ball, A&M
guard Todd Holloway drove the
length of the floor and made a great
move to draw the foul from Johnny
Fuller.
But Holloway, who won the Texas
game with a couple of last-second
free throws earlier in the season,
missed the front-end of a one-and-
one and the game was history.
“It was a great play that Todd
made at the end and gave us a
chance to tie it,” Metcalf said. “He
just missed the free throw. He didn’t
choke, he just missed it.”
But the fact is, A&M should never
have been in a position to win or lose
A&M guard Todd Holloway (right) drives past
SMU’s Johnny Fuller Saturday night. The Ag
gies’ 58-56 loss dropped them into second ph'
in the SWC standings behind TCU and Texas.
the game in the last seconds.
The Aggies executed all the basics
to perfection in the first half for a
37-33 halftime lead.
They shot 64 percent from the
field, 71.4 percent from the free-
throw line and dominated the Mus
tangs inside.
A&M forward Winston Crite hit
four-of-five shots for nine points
and center Jimmie Gilbert was three-
of-four for eight points in the first
20 minutes. In addition, the pair
helped A&M outrebound SMU 12 to
7, six of the Aggies’ carooms coming
off the offensive boards.
A&M had a nine-point advantage
in the second half until SMU guard
Butch Moore hit three jump shots in
a row to pull the Mustangs within
one pointjust three minutes later.
While Moore and teammate Le
wis, who had a game-high 20 points,
were getting hot, the whole A&M
team was getting cold.
The Ags could muster only a 31.8
percent field goal average in the sec
ond half.
Aggie guard Don Marbury, who
was leading the conference in scor
ing at 23.3 points per game, made
only five of 17 shots and 12 points
on the night.
The Aggies missed nine of their
last 10 field goal attempts and:
of their last five free throws,tl«|
of which was Holloway's one*
one attempt.
And while the A&M locker:
was solemn, it was all smilesinS
TCU and Texas’.
“1 think we surprisedsomept^
around the conference," Blisis
“I don’t think anyone thoujd
could do it. We’re just tickledpa
win this game.
“Like I told the guys, there
lot prettier girls around, bui*t>
can cook good."

HOUSTON — Texas A&M’s
Vanne Akagi and Gaye Lynn Gen-
sler lost their consolation doubles
match final Sunday at the Intercolle
giate Tennis Coaches Association
(ITCA) Indoor Nationals.
The A&M men’s duo of Mark
Smith and Russ Simmons, which
knocked off Clemson’s No. 4-seeded
team Thursday, dropped from com
petition Friday.
Akagi and Gensler were defeated
by Cathy Vigna and Erica Smith of
Harvard 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, after downing
Houston’s Kathy Foxworth and
Stina Almgren 6-3, 6-2 in the conso
lation semifinals.
The Aggie women earned that
semifinal berth when UCLA’s Jen
nifer Fuchs and Jane Thomas de
faulted due to an illness.
The UCLA duo was ranked No. 7
in the nation and A&M Women’s
Tennis Coach Bobby Kleinecke said
even though the match was de
faulted, it still counts as a win for
Akagi and Gensler.
Also on Friday, A&M’s Kim La-
buschagne and Karen Marshall were
eliminated from the tournament
when they lost to Brigham Young’s
Susanna Lee and Leslie Hakala, 6-2,
6-4.
But despite the losses, Kleinecke
said there were positive aspects
about playing in the ITCA tourna
ment.
“For one thing, this is the first
time the A&M women have even
been invited to the tourney,” Klei
necke said. “And any time you win a
match here in the national tourney,
it’s a big plus for you.”
Houston’s Jeff Rolquin and Earl
Zinn defeated Smith and Simmons
in Friday’s quarterfinals 6-3, 6-4.
“(UH’s Rolquin and Zinn) simply
outserved us,” A&M Men’s Tennis
Coach David Kent said. “We just
couldn’t return their serves and that
was a large part of the reason! I
loss.”
The loss enabled Smith andi
mons to move from the warmei
confines of the ChancellorsIkf
Club in Houston to A&Mscoid
windy Omar Smith Tennis &
for Saturday’s matches if
Southwest Texas State. The'
en’s matches with SWTSU^
scheduled for Feb. 27.
The Aggie men won all six 5
matches before the doubles® 3 1
