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. Dembo’s
dunk broke a 24-24 tie and his long
jump shot with 4:11 remaining in
the first half gave Wyoming a four-
point lead.
Men’s Basketball
The Ags took a short 37-36 lead
with 20 seconds remaining in the
opening half but Bolden nailed an
18-foot jump shot at the buzzer to
give Wyoming a 38-37 lead at inter
mission.
Marbury, who led the Southwest '
Conference in scoring this season,
had 22 points in his final game with
the Aggies. 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.
I don’t think A1 (Pulliam) made any
thing and Todd (Holloway) wasn’t
hitting either.”
Texas 69, New Mexico 66
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — For
ward Raynard Davis came up with a
crucial offensive rebound with 54
seconds left and then hit a pair of
free throws that secured Texas’ 69-
66 victory over New Mexico in a first
round NIT basketball game Thurs
day night.
It was Davis’ offensive rebound
and two free throws with 12 seconds
left that finally settled the game that
saw 13 ties and six lead changes.
With Texas nursing a 64-63 lead,
forward Patrick Fairs missed on an
off-balance 18-footer, but Davis got
the rebound and worked the clock
down to 18 seconds before Fairs con
nected on an outside jumper.
Senior center John Brownlee, the
Southwest Conference Player of the
Year this past season, led the Long
horns with 17 points. But Texas’
equal-opportunity offense also al
lowed forwards Davis and Fairs to
chip in 16 apiece.
Senior guard Karl Willock added
10 as the Longhorns hit 55.6 percent
from the field in the second half.
Senior forward Johnny Brown
