Break out the
black armband
for Dr. Metcalf
xjL Modest Proposal:
Last week was hectic for me. But not
as hectic as it was for a guy named
Shelby Metcalf. You remember him. He
was a fixture on this campus as A&M
head basketball coach for 27 years.
Until Jan. 22.
In one fell swoop, Metcalf was
removed of his job and reassigned to
greener pastures. Make that probably
reassigned. Metcalf and University
President William H. Mobley have yet to
iron out the rough edges of Athletic
Director John David Crow’s decision.
A week has passed. The columns have
been written, the photographs have been
taken, the letters have been submitted.
And the questions keep coming.
Too many questions. Not enough
answers.
Who knows what will become of
Shelby Metcalf. Maybe, if the school
isn’t ignorant enough to forget what he
has meant to A&M over the last 27
years, we’ll name a new basketball
coliseum after the Good Doctor.
I know people call him the winningest
coach in the Southwest Conference. I
also know he’s been called the losingest
coach in the SWC. With a career record
of 438-296, he was both.
I don’t care.
Under him, the Aggies have had 22
winning seasons. They’ve claimed six
SWC titles and have made five NCAA
tournament appearances and four NIT
appearances. What he has done for the
school and his players speaks more to me
than a winning percentage of 68.
But I digress.
Metcalf’s legacy has lived on. There’s

Lady Ags, Raiders tangle to break SWC tie
A&M out to break
Lubbock jinx
By VINCE SNYDER
Of The Battalion Staff
The Lady Aggies basketball team will be
playing for a win Tuesday night, in hopes
of breaking a deadlock tie with the Red
Raiders in the Southwest Conference stand-
ings.
Texas A&M and Texas Tech square off
in a key SWC matchup in Lubbock, with the
tipoff set for 7 p.m. at the Lubbock Munici
pal Coliseum.
The Lady Aggies are 12-6 on the year
while the Red Radiers are 11-7 overall.
Both teams are 4-3 in conference play, plac
ing them in a tie for fifth in tne league
standings.
“A win against Texas Tech on the road
would be icing on the cake for us,” Lady
A&M at Texas Tech
• Site; Municipal Coliseum (8,174)
• Tipoff; 7 p.m.
• Records: A&M (12-6, 1-3) Texas
Tech (11-7, 4-3)
• Next Game. Ihe Lady Aggies host
Baylor ai G. Rollie White Coliseum,
Feb. 3 at 2 p.m.
Aggie Coach Lynn Hickey said. “It would
give us the opportunity to finish in the up
per division of the conference.”
But A&M has not won a game in Lub
bock since 1980, and that game proved to
be a close one with a 66-64 score.
That was also the Lady Aggies’ last win
over the Red Raiders until 1988, when
A&M beat Tech, 72-60, in College Station.
Last year, the Red Raiders beat the Lady
Aggies twice.
The first time the two teams met, Tech
jumped out to an early 11-0 lead. A&M
chipped away at the Red Raiders lead, and
on a three-point shot by Dena Russo, the
Lady Aggies took their first lead, 77-76.
But Tech went on an eight point scoring
run and left A&M in the dust, winning the
game 84-77.
During the second game in Lubbock, the
Lady Aggies played Tech a little closer. Al
though they were never able to take the

lead in the game, A&M did manage to tie
the score up twice, eventually forcing the
game into overtime.
However, the Lady Aggies fell apart in
overtime, and were outscored 7-4 to give
Tech a 71 -68 victory.
Texas Tech leads the overall series over
A&M by a 21-6 advantage.
Last Saturday the Lady Aggies traveled
to Houston to take on the third-place Hous
ton Cougars.
A&M senior point guard Lisa Herner
scored 28 points,, shattering her previous
career-high of 18 against North Texas
State, to lead the team to an 88-67 win over
Houston.
Sophomore LaTanya Irving and junior
Louise Madison also reached double fig
ures, scoring 14 and 10 points.
“That (the win over U of H) was a major
win for us.” Hickey said. “Houston has a
fine team ... the key for us is that we played
well as a team.
“Texas Tech has a very good team. They
have great size and good shooters. We will
have to play as well, or better, than we did
at Houston to come out victorious."
The Red Raiders are working on a four-
game winning streak with back-to-back vic
tories over Baylor, Texas Christian, and
Southern Methodist.
Texas Vech Coach Marsha Sharp has es
tablished a winning tradition in Lubbock.
Sharp has taken the Lady Red Raiders to
a pair of NCAA berths and two appear
ances in the National Women’s Invitational
Tournament. Sharp is also fortunate in the
fact that all five of her starters from last sea
son returned this year.
Last year, the five starters led Tech to a
16-13 record, tying with the Lady Cougars
of Houston for third place in the SWC.
However, Sharp said she was worried
about the offensive firepower A&M is capa
ble of.
“I think they have a lot of weapons,”
Sharp said. “Herner played extremely well
against Houston.
“But game-in and game-out, I think we
have to be concerned about Madison,
(Yvonne) Hill and Irving who are really
playing well for them.”
Madison is shooting 12.8 points-per-
game, while grabbing 7.9 rebounds to lead
the Lady Aggies. Junior gaurd Yvonne Hill
is in second with 11.8 points-per-game.
A&M will have to concentrate on stop
ping senior Reena Lynch and sophomore
Jennifer Buck, who lead Tech’s players
with 11.2 and 11.1 ppg.
The duo also leads the team with 6.7 and
4.6 rpg.
“I think our biggest concern is to defend
the inside game and keep all of A&M’s play
ers off the boards,” Sharp said.
“If you can take away what Madison
wants to do in the paint, and then make
sure that you do a good job on the boards
against them ... well then that really helps
your cause.”
If the past week is any indication of what
the Lady Aggies are capable of, Tech will
have its hands full.
A&M, after suffering losses to confer
ence leaders Texas and Arkansas, has had
two solid games. The Lady Aggies domi
nated Rice, almost doubling the Lady Owls
offensive output, 76-44. Then A&M took
its show on the road and defeated Houston
by 21 points.
After Tuesday’s game, the Lady Aggies
will begin the second round of SWC play
with a two-game homestand.
