Aggies lose
to Arkansas
to end year
By Hal Hammons
Assistant Sports Editor
DALLAS — Texas A&M
nded its basketball season on a
own note, losing to Arkansas 76-
4 in the first round of the South-
est Conference Classic.
Arkansas’ balanced attack was
ed by Keith Wilson, who had a
areer-high 18 points. Ron Huery
ad 17 points, and Andrew Lang
dded 14.
A&M senior Paul Crawford led
he Aggies with 19 points in his fi-
al game, going 4-for-7 from the
iela and hitting all 11 of his free
hrows. Darryl McDonald closed
is career at A&:M with 15 points
nd six assists, and Doug Dennis
dded 14 points.
A&M Head Coach Shelby Met-
:alf said, “It was the finest game
aul Crawford has played, a fi* e
ay for him to go out. . . . We got
ff to a bad start, and it was an
iphill battle all the way. I’ll take
hat kind of effort every night.”
PllllJ 1 Arkansas Head Coach Nolan
vllllj Richardson said, “We played pre-
Ity solid basketball. That’s what
we weren’t doing on the road,
Committing turnovers in critical
situations.”
I Wilson, not usually an offen
sive threat for Arkansas, had
f I light points in the first six min-
dtes as Arkansas jumped out to a
14-4 lead. The Razorbacks would
ever trail in the contest, and the
ore was tied only once, at 2-2.
Arkansas shot 62.5 percent
from the field, making it impossi
ble for A&M to mount a serious
charge.
We were busting our tails to
|over them,” Metcalf said, “and
ey shot well. It’s hard to beat
someone who shoots the ball that
wdl."

Arkansas was boosted by about
7,000 fans who made the trip to
Dallas to root their Hogs on. One
sign the Hog Wild Band held up
said, “Close your eyes and imag
ine you’re at Barnhill.”
Arkansas was eliminated in the
second round by Baylor but still
received an invitation to the
NCAA tournament, where it was
eliminated in the first round by
Villanova.

be lucky.”
