A&M vs. A&M?
Texas A&M’s women’s basket
ball team hosts Prairie View A&M
Tuesday night at 7:30 in G. Rollie
White Coliseum. It’s been 11
years since the sister schools last
played each other.
The Lady Aggies hope to ex
tend their winning streak and im
prove on their 2-0 season record.
They claimed the Domino’s Pizza
Classic last weekend at G. Rollie
White.
“We’re not going in with the
idea that Prairie View will be an
easy team to beat,” A&M Coach
Lynn Hickey said. “They have ev
erything on their side going into
this game. They have a good
group of athletes, and we will
have to be very well prepared
against them.
“We Can’t afford to be looking
ahead to this weekend’s tourna
ment iu Utah. We can’t blow this
game off by any means.”
The Lady Aggies were led in
their championship game with
Wisconsin by LaTanya Irving,
who hit a 16-foot jump shot with
one second remaining to win the
game.

Poll
(Continued from page 7)
leere football for the first time in
school history, while Alabama
jumped to second and Miami moved
back into contention for its third na
tional championship of the decade.
Colorado replaced Notre Dame as
the No. 1 team in the poll after Mi
ami beat the Fighting Irish 27-10
Saturday. Notre Dame, which had
been No. 1 since the first week of the
season, fell to fifth while Miami rose
three spots to No. 4.
Alabama, the only major unde
feated team besides Colorado,
moved up two places to No. 2 while
Michigan remained third after beat
ing Ohio State 28-18. Alabama,
which had the week off, finishes its
regular season Saturday at Auburn.
The top five teams all have a shot
at the national championship. Colo
rado can win it by beating Notre
Dame in the Orange Bowl, but if the
Buffaloes lose it would open the
door for the otl\£r four teams.
“It is going to be our ultimate
challenge,” Colorado coach Bill Me-'
Cartney said. “Anyone who knows
anything about Notre Dame and its
great traditions knows that they will
bounce back from the Miami loss.
You can count on that.”
McCartney said the No. 1 ranking
is “something that everyone at the
university in Boulder and the state
of Colorado is excited about. It’s the
first time we’ve ever been in this po
sition and I think it’s something the
entire state is taking pride in.”
Colorado, which completed an 11-
0 regular season on Nov. 18, re
ceived 53 first-place votes and 1,468
of a possible 1,500 points from a na
tionwide panel of sports writers and
broadcasters. Miami got three first-
place votes, with two going to Ala
bama and one to Michigan.

FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS
Chris Gaines hit 19-of-22 free
throws and Andrew 7 McGuire
scored all 12 of his points in the
first seven minutes of the second
half to pace Hawaii to a 75-71 vic
tory over Texas A&M Monday
night and gave the Rainbows
third place in the Great Alaska
Shootout.
A&M finished the tournament
fifth.
Gaines finished with 24 points
and McGuire, a 6-foot-9-inch se
nior, came off the bench after the
Aggies’ David Harris man
handled the Rainbows for nine
points and 10 rebounds in the
first half.
McGuire’s last four put Hawaii
(2-1) ahead for good. Tern
Houston added 16 points for \bt
Rainbows.
Harris finished with 18 point
and 15 rebounds for the Aggies
(1-2). Freddie Ricks had 16 points
and Tony Milton, who entered
the game leading the tournamenl
in total points with 53, added 13
to finish the Shootout with ft
points.
A&M Coach Shelby Metcali
said fatigue was a major factor in
the Aggies’ poor showing.
“Tony and the team just didn’t
play well tonight,” Metcalf said. “I
think we just got tired . .. I’m not
making excuses, but we were so
tired.”
Metcalf was disappointed in
the Aggies’ inability to convert
their free throws.

Rockets
(Continued from page 7)
in 1986, Wiggins was known primar
ily as a defensive specialist. But the
do
Lucas has played just like the
Rockets hoped he would since his
entry into the starting lineup. Hous
ton finally has a true point guard
running the show, and the Rockets
haven’t had a floor leader like Lucas
since Lucas himself was in a Rockets’
uniform in 1986.
But the real surprise has been
Wiggins. Before he was banned
from the league for substance abuse
two years off have done wonders for
Wiggins’ scoring game. He’s leading
the team with a 21.2 scoring average,
and Chaney must be drooling as he
envisions a Rockets team in the near
future that features Wiggins and a
healthy Olajuwon.
But the Rockets’ biggest problem
may be in the one that has plagued
them for years: depth. The bench
has never been anything for a Rock
ets fan to get excited about the past
few years; 1989’s no exception.
There were high hopes with Lewis
Lloyd back in uniform, but with his
ankle injury, the Rockets’ bench
woes have turned pitiful. In Hous
ton’s 85-75 win over Cleveland Sat
urday, the group of Floyd, Byron
Dinkins, Anthony Bowie, Adrian
Caldwell and Mike Woodson almost
blew a 24-point lead in the fourth
quarter until Chaney put Johnson
back in to calm things down.
The Rockets find themselves play
ing just above .500 ball at 7-6.
.V
They’ve lost to some teams thi
really stink, but players say Jhey'n
starting to come together and
well. If past seasons are an infc
tion, the Rockets won't be able
come up with the chemistry ofaw
ner.
But who knows? You can’t count
team with Olajuwon out. Regards
Houston will have some indicatif
of where they are and just how mud o
further they have to go in ISi
when they play the Lakers
T uesday night in the Summit.
CHEATING AWARENESS WEEK
NOV. 27 - DEC.l
During these last few weeks of the semester,
we Aggies need to remember
AGGIE CODE OF HONOR
For many years Aggies have followed a Code of Honor,
which is stated in this
his very simple verse:
"Aggies do not lie, cheat, or steal, nor do they tolerate
those who do."
The Aggie Code of Honor is an effort to unify the aims of
all Texas A&M men and women toward a high code of ethics
and personal dignity. For most, living under this code will
be no problem, as it asks nothing of a person that is beyond
reason. It only calls for honesty and integrity, characteristics
that Aggies have always exemplified.
The Aggie Code of Honor functions as a symbol to all Aggies,
promoting understanding and loyalty to truth and confidence
in each other.
