The rain continued to fall outside, and inside mom contin ued to denounce the sport of basketball as a whole. Teams would come — teams would go. Kermit Davis de parted, unnoticed to the net work's national audience, but his fate was already a foregone conclusion. The big basketball powers phased out those little teams that really didn't belong. All the big powers were true to form, except for Syracuse, who was bugged out by a dream-stealing Rich mond team. CBS' onslaught of coverage continued throughout the week end. The network hopped, skipped, and jumped to four dif ferent tournament sites hoping not to miss any buzzer beaters. There were few close games to speak of in the 48 games of the first two rounds. But the net work forged on. CBS must have grabbed for ev ery sportscaster available —even a woman. I thought mom would be happy about that. But most men prooably were not. Listening to someone named Mimi telling a bunch of sweating 6-foot-9 guys when to "block out" and how to "post up" just doesn't work. And watching college basket ball just wasn't the same without the most colorful of color com mentators. "Where's Dick Vitale?" I would chuckle to my disgruntled mom. Come on CBS, give him the rock, bab — y! The field now has been nar rowed to 16 teams from its origi nal 64 hopefuls. Few survivors will be left when the championship is over April 1 —One glorified cham pion, one tired network. And mom.

However, Crow said the list of applicants he has received so far is as qualified as last year's. "Some of them are bonafide coaches that have been in the NIT and NCAA (tournaments)," Crow said. "In some cases, they were there this year." Crow said the position needs to be filled in time to recruit pro spective players for next year's program. Three high school players al ready have given oral commit tments to the Aggies. The na tional signing day for all high school athletes is April 15.

A&M swept the Mavericks 5-2, 7-5. U-ACT: C la Aggies run past Mavericks; sweep doubleheader 5-2,7-51 THE NAVI Cc HISPANIC 7| HAMA: Dr Kl( By Alan Lehmann The Battalion A&M started slowly Tues day night, but pulled away when it counted. The Aggies came from be hind to win both ends of the doubleheader against the Uni versity of Texas-Arlington at Olsen Field 5-2 and 7-4. A&M improved to 23-9 while UTA dropped to 15-14. "I didn't think we played badly," said Aggie head coach Mark Johnson. "We had a cou ple of mental errors, but we overcame them. We got some pitchers into the game that I wanted to see." The Aggies trailed 3-1 in the second game before coming back for a run in the second and two in the third. Third baseman Travis Wil liams launched a towering solo home run in the second. The homer was Williams fifth of the season, giving him the team lead. "I hit it well," Williams said, "and I was pretty sure it was gone." Aggie southpaw Jay Hogue lasted only two innings, al though none of the three runs he surrendered were earned. A&M used muscle and speed to take the lead. Singles by Brian Thomas and Dan Rob inson, sandwiched around a walk, loaded the bases. First baseman Conrad Colby muscled a deep sacrifice fly that allowed all runners to ad vance, tying the game. After Hickey was erased at the plate on a fielder's choice, the Ag gies stole the lead. When Maverick lefthander Jason LaPoint toed the pitching rubber, Robinson dashed for the plate and Jason Marshall broke for second base. By the time LaPoint looked to the plate, Robinson was sliding across it with a lead the Aggies would never relinquish. Johnson said the play is dan gerous, but rewarding. "It's a play that looks good when it works, but really bad when it doesn't." Freshman designated hitter Billy Harlan, who has played sparingly this season, made Johnson look good in the fourth inning with a solo homer. Harlan rocketed a fast ball over the left field wall just left of the 375 mark for his first round-tripper of the season. The Mavericks scored an other unearned run in the fifth to cut the lead to 5-4, but that was as close as they got. In the bottom of the sixth, Harlan singled, advanced on a wild pitch, fielder's choice and scored on a past ball. Hickey doubled in another run to make the score 7-4. But it got a little scary in the eighth inning. After Alan Fi- veash, the third A&M pitcher, got into trouble with two outs and two on. Trey Witte came in to shut the door. But Witte made it interest ing, walking the first two bat ters he faced to push a run across. He bounced back strong, though, to strike out the next batter and retired the side in the ninth, striking out two more. "I think my mental approach was the proplem, not my me chanics," Witte said. "But I feel confident as the closer. I get more confident each time I; out." Witte picked up his third! save of tne year, while Steve Hughes (2-1) picked up the] win. Hughes, the second Ag gie pitcher, allowed only one] uneared run on two hits and[ two walks in three innings. In the first contest, the j gies roared back from a 2-0 del-1 icit for three runs in the third! inning and two more in fourth. Maverick starter Chris Gayj had allowed only one hit and I faced the minimum number of I batters when Harlan singled! up the middle with one out in | the third. Harlan, the designated hit ter, scored when Blake Pyle I ripped a triple deep into right- j center field. Sittichoke Buck-1 untod followed with a hustling] double to center that tied score. One out later, Mike Hickey I stroked a double down the third base line to give A&M a 3-2 lead. That was enough for Aggie | starter Jason Bullard (4-1), wn pitched four innings and] picked up the win. "I feltgood tonight," Bullard] said. "The team played g defense behind me, so I knew | that all I had to do was go i and throw strikes." Leading off the fourth, Colby pulled a single into right. One out later, William! laced a single into left field. Both runners advanced om wild pitch before Harlatj punched an RBI single into let I field. Pyle beat out an infield I single that closed out the scor f ing.
