Page 10 Mayberry leads Hogs past UT in AUSTIN (AP) — Arkansas’ Lee Mayberry drilled a 3-point shot with 4 seconds left in regulation play and led an overtime surge as the No. 3- ranked Razorbacks defeated Texas 103-96 in overtime Sunday. Arkansas extended its winning streak to 11 games in a game that even Razorback coach Nolan Rich ardson apparently thought was lost. Arkansas is 19-2 for the season, 10-0 in the SWC. Texas fell to 14-6 and 7-3. Richardson flung off his jacket, overtime stormed onto the court in protest and left the playing area as Texas’ Lance Blanks made two free throws and Texas also got the ball on an in tentional foul by Mayberry for an 86-83 Texas lead with 14 seconds re maining. With 12 seconds to go, however, Travis Mays, Texas’ leading career scorer, missed a free throw, and Mayberry — the nation’s leading 3- point shooter —- then silenced the sellout crowd of 16,231 by connect ing on his specialty to tie the game. Rasmussen (Continued from page 9) he’s had to beg management for a one-year extension on his current contract. No one Said life was fair, Sam. So, Dallas has Tarpley back, looking relaxed and being productive. But a big question mark still remains. What should Dallas do with Tarpley? Trade him at the end of the season while his value is still high, or gamble that he has finally cleaned up his act and will be a force in Mavericks basketball for years to come? Adubato thinks his team can return home in March and still be a serious contender. And from there, who knows? A return trip to the Forum? Or maybe their first NBA title. The bandwagon is back and heading west. Unfortunately, the driver is driving without a spare. Game (Continued from page 9) ond technical foul four minutes later when he threw his coat against his seat in anger. After the technical foul shots, the Bears led 65-54 with over 10 min utes left. “I figured if I was going to get a technical, I might as well get it now,” Thornton said. “I deserved it — there’s no doubt about it. “In the heat of battle you try to do whatever you can to change the mo mentum.” And it seemed to work for Thorn ton. The Aggies refused to die. Milton suddenly was able to find the open lanes on the inside, and with a little help from a Thompson three-pointer, the Aggies jumped back into the game, trailing 79-75 with two minutes left. Baylor, on the ensuing possession, almost gave A&M the snot in the arm it needed. After Thompson’s three-pointer, Lindsey lost the inbound pass. A mad scramble for the ball followed, and Baylor’s Jones came up with it. Jones’ recovery not only let the Bears keep the ball, it gave them a new 45-second shot clock to run the game out. The Aggies didn’t touch the ball for almost a minute. “It seemed like every loose ball. they came up with,” Milton said. “They out-hustled us.” Lindsey cemented the Aggies’ de feat after he stole a pass, took the ball downcourt and shoved it into the basket. Baylor guard David Wesley and Jones each made foul shots to give the Bears an insurmountable 85-75 lead. “I couldn’t relax or feel comfort able until there were probably 14 or 16 seconds left,” Iba said. “It took those last free-throws for me to sigh a breath of relief. “Holding that lead was tough to do.” The last highlight for the Aggies came with eight seconds left. On the inbounds pass, Milton dished the ball all the way downcourt to senior guard Darren Rhea, who was wait ing under the basket and stuffed the ball uncontested. It wasn’t enough. A&M ran out of time and suffered its fifth confer ence loss. With the win, Baylor moved into a three-way tie with A&M and Rice for fourth place. All are 4-5 in South west Conference play. The Aggies missed an opportu nity to take sole possession of third place in the conference. A&M is 11- 12 overall and will face Texas Chris tian Wednesday at G. Rollie White Coliseum. The Battalion Monday, February 5,195| Cowboys look to draft, Plan B, trade DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Cow boys are banking on three rebuild ing blocks: the draft, Plan B free agency and trading quarterback Steve Walsh. Jimmy Johnson, in his first year as coach of the Cowboys, won just one game in 1989. If Johnson hopes to get to the Super Bowl, he will have to tected under Plan B tree agency on Friday, the Cowboys have only 21 protected players who were on the roster when Johnson took over last February. But, the Cowboys have nowhere near the talent they need to be com petitive. The next three months could be more important than the entire last year for a team that just tied the NFL record for most losses completely rebuild the NFL’s worst team. So far, Johnson’s moves have been more like remodeling. After leaving 17 players unpro in a season. Johnson hopes to use a possible Walsh trade, a stockpile of draft choices and an aggressive attitude toward Plan B free agency to bring the Cowboys back to respectability. “I think very soon you could see the Cowboys at 8-8 — maybe in two years, conceivably even next season,” said Bill Walsh, television sports commentator and former coach of the San Francisco 49ers. “The key will be how they do when it’s time to move above the .500 bracket, but for now, every thing is in place to show marked im provement,” Walsh told The Dallas Morning News. Opinions are divided on how much the Cowboys can get for Steve Walsh in a trade. Most NFL teams think the Cowboys will have trouble recouping the value of the No. 1 overall pick in the 1990 draft they forfeited when they took Walsh in the 1989 supplemental draft. “I don’t think a lot of people thought Steve Walsh was that valu able coming out of the supplemental draft,” said one NFL general man ager. “After this season, I think that number is even smaller. I know we’re not interested in him.” Another general manager thought differently. “If (Walsh) was in this draft, he probably would have been the first pick of the quarterbacks,” he said. The Cowboys reportedly have talked to the 49ers and the Minne sota Vikings about Walsh, the news paper said. The Morning News said the Cow boys probably won’t trade Walsh un til shortly before the draft on April 22-23. By that time, the bidding may have increased as teams realize the lack of quarterback talent in the draft. The Cowboys have 14 picks a::I Johnson said he would be willing* forfeit a few 1991 picks to get plal ers in this summer's supplement phase, if there is one. The Cowboys seem to needkl at every position except quarterbatil where Troy Aikman has takenraI They have no running backs ai l only one fullback, Daryl Johnslo;.! on their protected list, and theyakl need receivers.
