Texas A&M’s Darryl McDonald powers past TCU’s Todd Willis for
a layup during Wednesday’s game in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Eoach (Shelby Metcalf) got on me
pud I told him I wouldn’t let him
down anymore.”
befoitB The Aggies had been reluctant to
ed ihl sjhoot from outside in their losses.
;r tecwhey came out firing against TCU,
yrfK tVuh Freddie Ricks hitting two of
by ibBiree three-pointers in the opening
iarken!si x minutes to help A&M tp an early
lilvfaB-7 lead they would never lose.
, I McDonald said, “A lot of the guys
weren’t looking to score (during the
losing streak.) This game, if we got
the shot we were going to shoot it.”
TCU’s only lead was on the open
ing bucket, when Lewis stole the ball
from McDonald and took it in for a
layup for the game’s first points.
Metcalf said, “I thought we got a
better effort. I thought we didn’t
play with the intensity we had
against Baylor and Arkansas, but it
was better than against (Texas) Tech
and Texas.”
The win over Texas Christian
puts the Aggies at 14-7 versus the
Frogs in the 1980s, 79-67 overall.
A&M’s next game is in Dallas
against the Mustangs of Southern
Methodist Saturday at Moody Col
iseum. If the Aggies beat the Mus
tangs they would tie the 70 year-old
