Big 8 backs out
of SWC duels
DALLAS (AP) — A proposed basket
ball challenge series between the Big
Eight and Southwest conferences has
fallen through for next season, al
though it may be resurrected for 1993.
"The Big Eight didn't want to do it,"-
Houston coach Pat Foster said. "Our
conference office worked hard on it, so
they should not get any criticism."
SWC Commissioner Fred Jacoby has
told league coaches they can schedule
games at the beginning of next Feb-
ruary, when the SWC-Big Eight series
would have been played.
"With Arkansas out of the league,
that hurt," said Missouri assistant ath
letic director Joe Castiglione, who does
the Tigers' scheduling. "That was one
of their marquee names out there. To
my knowledge, nothing has been done
or will be done this year."
Big Eight officials said they were
concerned games at neutral arenas
would not draw well, and that few
would be televised.
The SWC had hoped the series with
the Big Eight, patterned after one be
tween the Big East and Atlantic Coast
Conference, would help replace some
of the national exposure lost through
Arkansas' departure to the Southeast
Conference.
The plan had been for four games at
neutral sites and four games at on-cam
pus arenas.
Games between individual schools
could still take place, and Missouri's
Castiglione said the Tigers would play
a home game against Texas A&M in
November. Missouri also would like to
play Texas, he said.
"We are keeping some open dates,"
Longhorn coach Tom Penders said.
"We are not interested in playing on
the road. We would play a game at a
neutral site or at home."
The Longhorns‘ahso have scheduled
an away game with Oklahoma.
Hot Aggies jump to Top 10

From Staff and Wire Reports
The Texas A&M baseball team did
something Monday it had not been
able to accomplisn all season — it
cracked the top 10.
This week's Collegiate Baseball —
ESPN poll has A&M coming in at num
ber eight, the highest ranking the Ag
gies have achieved since being ranked
number eight in February of 1990.
Several times this season the team
has pushed the top rankings, but each
time teams such as LSU, Texas Tech,
and Baylor have gotten in the way.
After a string of difficult losses, the
s Collegiate Basebal- utive games and hav

Aggies found themselves in unfamiliar
territory —out of the polls and in the
Southwest Conference cellar. Things
were not looking bright for the team's
post-season hopes, but a turnaround
was on the way.
The Aggies broke out of their five
game mid-season slump by sweeping a
rain-delayed series with Rice, then
going the distance against a strong
University ofTexas team ranked num
ber three nationally. After many tense
innings, the Aggies took all three
ames from the Longhorns, the first
WC sweep of a Cliff Gustafson
coached team since 1972.
In less than two weeks A&M had
i clinched a spot in the Southwest Confer-

gone from last place in conference
standings to a tie for first with Texas.
Concerns about overconfidence on
the team were eased after a three game
sweep of TCU which virtually elimi
nated the Horned Frogs from tourna
ment contention, while clinching the
fifth consecutive 40 win season of
A&M, plus the host berth in the SWC
post-season tournament.
With only a three game series \yith
the University of Houston standing be
tween the Aggies and the SWC
championship, the team is on its way
to completing one of the most remarka
ble turnarounds in A&M history
Green hired as
A&M assistant
From Staff and Wire Reports
New Texas A&M head basketball
coach Tony Barone announced Mon
day the hiring of James Green, an as
sistant to former
coach Kermit Da
vis Jr.
Green, the first
of two assistants
Barone will hire,
previously served
three years as an
assistant to Davis.
In his first year as
an assistant, the
Aggies finished 8- Green was
21, while winning namsd an assistant
only two South- coac £ _[ or n 6W A&M
west Conference coach Tony Barone,
regular season games.
Green, along with assistant coach
Billy Kennedy, has remained at A&M
despite the resignation of Davis, who
stepped down after an investigation
into rules violations in the A&M bas
ketball program.
Barone said he was impressed with
Green's personal qualifications.
"I have only hired one other person
in my coaching career who I didn't
know previously," Barone said.
"He has all the characteristics I look
for in an assistant," he said. "He has a
tremendous work ethic, flexibility in
dealing with unique situations, a de
sire to accept challenges, a love for
Texas A&M and above all, a tremen
dous sense of loyalty."
Green said he is glad to have the
chance to stay at A&M.
"I'm looking forward to working
with coach Barone in building a solid
program on and of the basketball
court," Green said. "Texas A&M is a
great place for employment because of
its great traditions and the good people
they have here.
Barone will name another full-time
assistant at a later date.
"I'm excited about the future."
Green coached at Jim Hill High
School in Jackson, Miss, before coach
ing before being hired by Davis at the
University of Idaho.
