From Staff and Wire Reports LARAMIE, Wyo. — Fennis Dembo and Les Bolden pumped in 23 points each to lead the Wyoming Cowboys to a 79-70 win over Texas A&M in the first round of the Na tional Invitation Tournament. The loss ended the Aggies’ season and left their record at 20-12. “We had a good season,” A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf said. “I’m proud of our guys. We played a heckuva ball game. “There are no ties in basketball. Hey, they beat us.” The Cowboys, who moved to a 22- 10 record, ran off a 10-0 scoring spurt midway in the second half. During the scoring spree Dembo flipped in a layup and canned a 15- footer to give Wyoming a 63-53 lead at 5:16. The Aggies used two baskets each by guard Don Marbury and forward Winston Crite to pull within 67-63 at the three-minute mark. But A&M was forced to foul and Wyoming sank 1 1 free throws in the closing minutes to seal the victory. “The difference was at the free throw line,” Metcalf said. “That’s the best shooting free throw team I’ve ever seen. I’ll tell you, we’ve seen their stats and they don’t shoot that way every game. We just couldn’t get the breaks tonight.” A&M opened the contest with an attack on the offensive boards and with 12:41, Marbury dropped in two f ree throws to give their biggest lead in the first half at 15-10. The Cowboys fought back with the outside shooting of Bolden and Dembo to narrow the lead.

Crite chipped in 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds. “We had a few people off to night,” Metcalf said. “I don’t remem ber Gary (Lewis) making a field goal.
