Hogs stop Aggies
in SWC tourney
he Batt:
Monday
By Doug Walker
SPORTS EDITOR
Texas A&M, the hottest team in
the Southwest Conference, wasn’t
hot enough in the SWC Post-Season
Classic to stop the steamrolling Ar
kansas Razorbacks.
The resurgent Aggies, winners of
eight of nine games entering the
semifinal matchup with the Razor-
backs, watched their season come to
an abrupt end in a 94-84 loss March
11 in Reunion Arena in Dallas.
A&M finished a rollercoaster sea
son with a record of 16-14 while the
A&M basketball

SWC Post-Season Tournament quar
ter-finals. Arkansas 94, A&M 84, in
the SWC semi-finals.
• Final record: 16-14.
Razorbacks moved to 23-6. Arkansas
eventually won the tournament and
advanced to the second round of the
NCAA’s Midwest Region before
ending the year with a loss to Louis
ville Saturday.
Aggie Head Coach Shelby Metcalf
finished with his 23rd winning sea
son in his 26-year coaching career.
He was understandably proud of his
team, which finished strong after a
terrible mid-season slump.
“I’m very proud of this ballclub
because they’ve come so far,” Met
calf said. “This team will be very
dear to me forever. I thought it was
a heck of a ball game. We gave great
effort.”,
The Aggies had advanced to the
SWC semifinals by defeating Hous
ton 82-70 one night earlier.
Arkansas moved on to meet Texas
in the SWC tournament title game
and swamped the Longhorns (100-
76) for the championship.
Arkansas’ pressure defense and
A&M foul trouble combined to
doom any Aggie upset hopes in the
semifinals. A&M battled gamely be
fore succumbing before a sell-out
crowd of 16,240.
Senior forward Donald Thomp
son closed his Aggie career by lead
ing A&M in scoring with 23 points
and added 13 rebounds while earn
ing a spot on the all-tournament
team.
“Down the stretch (Arkansas)
made the key plays,” Thompson
said. “They did what it took to win
the game. They wanted it more than
we did.”
Guard Tony Milton scored 19, re
serve forward Doug Dennis ended
his Aggie career with 14 and guard
Lynn Suber had 13 points.
Arkansas forward Lenzie Howell,
the tournament’s most valuable
player, led the Hogs with 31 points
and 12 rebounds while guard Keith
Wilson, Arkansas’ only senior,
added 25 points.

(Continued from page 7)
Thompson said the Hoyas should
have lost.
“We didn’t play as well as we
would have liked here, and that’s at
tributed to the game with Princeton,
it was such a strain,” Thompson said.
Now, Georgetown, 28-4, goes to
the regional semifinals Friday night
in East Rutherford, N.J., against
19th-ranked North Carolina State.
No. 19 N.C. State 102, No. 14
Iowa 96, 20T
Rodney Monroe scored a career-
high 40 points for N.C. State, includ
ing 11 in the second overtime, and
hit baskets that tied the score at the
end of regulation and the first over
time at Providence. Monroe gave
Iowa the lead for good at 86-85 with
a 3-pointer with 4:00 left in the sec
ond overtime. His three-point play
made it 91-87 with 3:06 to play, and
he hit another 3-pointer with 1:18
Thompson felt Wilson was thekev
to the game for Arkansas.
“Keith Wilson is probably one of
the best guards in the conference
since Kato (Armstrong of Southem
Methodist) left. He is their go-toguy
in tough situations. He came out anil
responded.”
Wilson picked up the scoring load
for the Razorbacks when the Aggies
made a couple of rallies in the sec
ond half.
Four Aggies fouled out of the
game as the quicker Hogs simply
wore A&M down. Arkansas con
verted 22 Aggie turnovers into 23
points and finished the game with
the biggest lead of the game. The
Hogs converted 1 1 of 13 free throws
down the stretch to keep the Aggies
at hay.
Forward David Williams joined
Freddie Ricks, Milton and Dennisin
fouling out as A&M ended the night
with only two starters, Thompson
and forward Ray Little, able to play.
“The refs did a good job,” Milton
said. “(The ref erees) didn’t beat us,
Arkansas beat us. We lost to a good
team.”
Metcalf also refused to blame the
loss on the officiating.
“I think that overall, that crew (of
ficials) is alright,” Metcalf said. “I
think that everything in the confer
ence is on the way up.
“We got beat by a great ball dub
and it was a great basketball game."
A&M held leads of 4-1 and 25-22
in the first half before Arkansas
nosed in front by 48-43 at the half.
T he Hogs used 14 Aggie turn
overs to get their fast break going
and converted the miscues into H
points in the opening period.
A&M got as close as two points
twice in the final half before Arkan
sas got Dennis and Ricks to foul out.
A&M rallied from a 69-. r )‘.i (Iclicn
to move to within 75-73 on a Milton
jumper with 7:44 to go and trailed
77-75 at the 6:54 mark when he con
verted both ends of a one-and-one
50 seconds later.
A&M’s last gasp came with slightly
under thre minutes to go.
Trailing 84-80. the Aggies threw
the ball out of bounds on the offen
sive end.
Suber hit a driving 10-foot
jumper to pull A&M within 86-82,
but the Hogs hit their free throws
during the final 1:23 and sealed the
win.
Arkansas won the rebounding
battle (39-37) and outshot A&M -18.5
percent to 47,5 percent.
A&M dominated Houston early in
the second half of their quarter-final
game to race to a 82-70 win over the
Cougars.
Houston’s Craig Upchurch stole
the show with 29 points but A&M
used 24 points from Thompson to
go with Suber’s 12 off the bench to
defeat the Cougars.
A&M controlled the defensive
hoards and won the reboundingbya
44-36 margin.
