UNLV’s win was
no mere game,
it was a clinic
It was the red team against
the blue team.
It was the men against the boys.
It wits a clinic on how to play the
game of basketball.
For those of you who watched the
NCAA Championship game Monday
night, you know what I’m talking about.
The Runnin’ Rebs of UNLV
demolished a scared and nervous Duke
team by a record setting score of 103-73
The Blue Devils looked like a bunch ot
skittish schoolgirls who didn’t come
close to playing up to their potential.
UNLV took the lead from the start and
never looked back. Their tough defense
smothered Duke like a mushy peanut
butter and jelly sandwich that was sat on
by a cow. The Rebels’ taunting man-to
man defense proved to be effective once
again, as the Blue Devils could not
penetrate the wall of quick hands and
white jerseys.
And how about UNLV’s offensive
attack?
The Runnin’ Rebs should have been
called the Flyin’ Rebs Monday night as
they put on a dunk contest in the first
half, with Jordan lookalikes showing

win
By RICHARD TIJERINA
Of The Battalion Staff
Four Texas A&M pitchers combined on
four-hitter in Tuesday’s 5-2 win over Sam
Houston State at Olsen Field, giving the
Aggies a small dose of revenge for their 4-3
loss to the Bearkats March 7.
The win, which improved A&M’s record
to 32-9, also gave the Aggies a much
needed breath of confidence after last
weekend’s series loss to Baylor, especially
with surprising Rice coming to visit in three
days.
But great pitching has come to be ex
pected of A&M. What was a welcome sur
prise to Coach Mark Johnson was the sud
den reappearance of the long ball at Olsen
Field.
Three different Aggies hit home runs —
knocking in four of A&M’s five runs.
We haven’t had the longball a lot this
year, so when we have three in one night,
we have something to celebrate,” Johnson
said. ‘That’s not really our forte, and that’s
not going to carry us in a lot of games, but it
helped the guys’ confidence.”
A&M looked sharp on both the mound
and at the plate. Johnson said he wanted to
see four pitchers, and that’s what he got,
Starter Jason Bullard went three innings
and didn’t give up a hit. Sean Lawrence
came in at the top of the fourth inning, and
stayed in until Brent Gilbert relieved him in
the sixth.
Gilbert gave up the first Bearkat run in
the seventh. Gene Kridler hit a double, and
scored on Clint Turlington’s single to right
field, junior reliever Steve Hughes pitched
the ninth inning.
“It’s tough to get your rhythm in a ball-
game where you have four pitchers throw
ing, and it’s tough defensively to stay in that
same rhythm.”
The Aggies had two errors, but their
eight-hit performance was more than
enough to cover them up.

ignated hitter David Rollen had a solo shot
in the fourth. Second baseman Trey Witte
had a two-run home run in the sixth.
Witte said the Aggies’ offensive perfor
mance Tuesday night was just what they
needed after last weekend where they
dropped two of three games to the Bears.
“I think everybody was ready to get back
out here and get into the flow of things,”
Witte sai. “We wanted to play ball like we
knew w/ could play so we could get ready
for thi/weekend. F.verybody was looking
forwai/ to tonight.”
Ev^ybody except the Bearkats. Last time
the t\o teams met in Huntsville, the Aggies
were£oming off a late doubleheader the
nigl/before. This time, they had plenty of
rest
It showed.
“They’re -up for us every time we play
them, and I knew they’d be ready for us to
night — especially since they beat us last
time at their place,” Witte said.
“It’s kind of good playing them because
we came out of a tough series last weekend,
and are coming up on an important week
end against Rice.”
