HOUSTON — Well, everybody
knew Cinderella would wake up one
morning and find that her coach
had reverted back into a pumpkin.
The Houston Cougars finally
burst Texas A&M’s bubble in a 67-
63 nail-biter at Hofheinz Pavilion
that shouldn’t have been that close.
The loss was the Aggies’ first of
the Southwest Conference season.
They dropped to 4-1 in SWC play
(12-7 overall), while Houston went
to 3-2 and 8-6.
All A&M’s hopes finally were ex
tinguished with eight seconds re
maining. Rolando Ferreira con
verted both ends of a one-and-one
free-throw opportunity to give the
Cougars a four-point cushion.
Houston hit both of its shots and
five of its six free throws in the last
2:29 to stymie the Aggies’ comeback
attempts.
The game looked over when Dar
ryl McDonald air-balled from 23 feet
out with 40 seconds left and the
Cougars up 64-58. The ball bounced
out of bounds, giving UH the ball.
However, Freddie Ricks stole the
ball on the in-bounds play and con
verted a lay-up to close to within
four points.
Horace Chaney hit the front end
of his one-and-one, and James McG
hee hit a three-point shot with 12
seconds left. But Ferreira’s free
throws killed any hopes for the Ag
gies’ fourth last-minute win in five
conference games.
In between squandered opportu
nities, the Aggies managed 20 turn
overs. They led UH in giveaways 11-
3 at halftime.
The turnovers were the key to
Houston opening up a first-half lead
that ballooned to 10 points at half
time. The Aggies turned it over five
times in a row and seven times in 10
trips down the floor between 13:30
and 7:45.
Meanwhile, three Cougar three-
pointers — two by Richard Hollis
and one by Chaney — helped Hous
ton to a lead it would only lose once.
A&M was led by forward Donald
Thompson, who had 18 points and
14 rebounds. Ricks and Keron
Graves added 12 points apiece, while
McDonald got 10 points and seven
assists.
Houston freshman forward Craig
Upchurch led the Cougars with 18
points, including 12 in the first half.
Ferreira added 16, and Hollis scored
11.
Chaney, declared ineligible for
the Cougars’ previous game against
Southern Methodist, was cleared for
the game and contributed 12 points.
A&M Head Coach Shelby Metcalf
said, “I think if Chaney had missed
one more game it would have really
helped us.”
McDonald said, “We weren’t
counting on (Chaney) not playing.
There’s no doubt he helped them.”
Metcalf and Ricks both said the
Aggies did not play with the same in
tensity as they showed in their ear
lier games.
Metcalf said, “The first half I
thought we weren’t as aggressive as
we should have been, but I thought
we came on in the second half and
remedied that.
“The guys came back and com
peted in the second half. Hey, they
didn’t want to throw the ball away.”
Ricks said, “Coming into this
game I think we were a little over
confident. 1 think it was showing in
practice.
“We should have learned from
the Rice game that if we don’t come
out each game and play hard that we
were going to be in trouble, but it
took a loss to do it.”
McDonald said, “I feel our team
came back to reality. I guess we
thought, . . . ‘we beat the best three
teams, we can beat anybody.’ And we
came into Hofheinz, and they played
pretty well, and we didn’t play well at
all.
Metcalf said he would not specu
late on the implications of this game
on the conference race.
“It’s an old cliche, but it’s true,” he
said. “It would be foolish to think of
anybody but Texas Tech in Lubbock
right now.”
A&M travels to play the Red Raid
ers Wednesday.
Houston crushes Lady Aggies 87-66
By Loyd Brumfield
Sports Editor
HOUSTON — The Texas A&M
women’s basketball team fell behind
in a hurry during the first half and
never recovered against the Univer
sity of Houston, losing 87-66 Sunday
at Hofheinz Pavilion.
The loss leaves A&M with a 9-5
season record and a 3-2 Southwest
Conference mark.
A&M guard Donna Roper was
saddled with three quick fouls in the
first two minutes of the game and
was never a factor during the first
half.
All of her 14 points came in the
second half.
Roper was removed after her
third foul with the Lady Aggies
down 14-10.
A&M made it 14-12 before the
Lady Cougars scored eight straight
points to take a 22-12 lead which
they never relinquished.
Turnovers plagued the Lady Ag
gies during the first half, as A&M
had 17 to UH’s three.
“We didn’t handle their press
well,” A&M Coach Lynn Hickey
said. “You can’t have 17 turnovers to
their (four) and expect to win.”
UH, which led 47-29 at the half,
outrebntmded A&M 47-44.
“We didn’t follow our game plan,”
Hickey said. “We wanted to pack it
in with a 2-3 zone and we didn’t. We
just stood around.
“Considering our best ball-han
dler (Roper) missed almost 14 min
utes of the first half, we were lucky
to get as close as we did.”
Forward Evelyn Sanders was the
leading scorer for A&M with 15,
Roper was next with 14, and guard
Traci Thomas had 13.
Thomas also had nine rebounds,
which tied her career high.
The Lady Cougars were led by
Kelli McCabe, who had 19 points.
Barbara Anderson had 14 points
and seven steals, Cozette Ealy had 12
points, and Karen Yee rounded out
the double-figure scorers with 10.
“You’ve got to give Houston a lot
of credit,” Hickey said. “They are a
top 20 team. They’ve had a couple of
bad losses (against Texas Christian
and Texas), and we just caught them
on a night when they had enough
time to recover.
“We’ve got to forget this one.
We’ll bounce back.”
A&M’s next game is Tuesday
night at 7:00 against Texas Tech in
Lubbock.
