Haskins wins 600th; UTEP edges Wyoming, 73-72
LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - Texas El-Paso
coach Don Haskins says his 600th career victo
ry means little to him.
"You stay around long enough and that's
going to happen," said Haskins, who's guided
the UTEP program since the 1961-62 season.
"The reason that happened is I've been very
lucky over the years. I've had great assistants
and I've had great players, or that doesn't hap
pen.
"The 600th win tonight doesn't mean much
to me because our guys have tried hard all
year. They worked hard together, practiced
hard and were trying to win the Western Ath
letic Conference and that's what's important."
Haskins became just the 12th coach in
NCAA Division I history to reach the 600-win
plateau, doing so with only 261 losses, as the
Miners (21-5, 10-4 in the WAC) defeated
Wyoming 73-72 Thursday night.
"It was a great win tor Don, and I kind of
forget about it after the game," said Wyoming
coach Benny Dees. "I was so down about los
ing and forgot to give him the game ball."
Dees had fewer kind words about his own
Cowboys (14-12, 6-8).
"I can't tell you how frustrated 1 am," Dees
said. "We've played as sluggish tonight as we
ever had, with no enthusiasm, no alertness,
sharpness. I've got no answers.
"I'm not sure we deserved to be as closes
we were at the end of the game. Whenwew®
close, the shot selection was bad," he said.
Wyoming trailed for almost the enfe
game, but rallied to 61-59 with 4:23 lefta
two Maurice Alexander 3-pointers. Dees I
committed a technical. The foul shot and a
turnovers gave the Miners a 66-61 leadv
1:23 left.
Free throws down the stretch helped Ultf
escape with a win despite a 3-point displaji
Wyoming's Tim Breaux.
Spurs stop Warriors
Robinson's 24 boards pound Golden State
A&M tracksters head to Flagstaff,
attempt to qualify for NCAA meel
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -
David Robinson scored 37 points
and matched his career high with
24 rebounds as San Antonio beat
Golden State 124-103 Thursday
night.
It was only the Warriors' sec
ond loss since the All-Star break.
Terry Cummings added 23
points and Donald Royal had a
season-high 16 for San Antonio.
The Warriors, who had shot
over 60 percent from the field on
the first three games of their road
trip, finished Thursday night at 46
percent. Chris Mullin led Golden
State with 28 points, while Billy
Owens had 20.
It was Robinson's third 20-re
bound game this season and the
eighth in his career. He also had
five blocked shots and three steals.
Golden State led 72-70 with
3:23 left in the third quarter, but
Royal triggered a 14-4 run that
gave San Antonio an 84-76 lead
going into the final period.
The Spurs put the game out of
reach with a 16-3 fourth-quarter
run that gave them a 122-99 lead
with 1:25 remaining.
Robinson's 20-point, 10-re
bound first hajf helped the Spurs
take a 56-53 lead.
The Warriors played without
guard Sarunas Marciulionis, who
bruised his right thigh against
Houston on Wednesday. He had
averaged 21 points in three games
against San Antonio this season.

Texas A&M will send six ath

A&M has quali

six events for the
Championships, which will be
held March 13 and 14 in Indi
anapolis.
The A&M women's team is
lead by senior high jumpers Gwen
Buck and Sandra Hines.
Buck automatically qualified
for the Championships withat

there to play, but the unknown is
exciting."
Johnson said the A&M team,
which is ranked No. 24 in the na
tion by Baseball America, has the
opportunity this weekend to
show the country it is for real.
"All of the teams we will be
playing are really good teams,"
he said. "That's one thing no one
can accuse us of is not playing
tough teams, because we have an
outstanding schedule and that
could get us some recognition.
"Sometimes I ask myself why
in the world we are playing such
a tough schedule."
A&M first baseman Conrad
Colby, who had three hits in
Wednesday's 9-2 win over Sam
Houston State, said he felt the
Aggies were solid enough all
around to compete with anyone
they play.
"We've been doing a real
good job defensively, and I think
defensively we can hang with all
of those teams," Colby said. "We
turned five double-plays against
Sam Houston, so I think there is
no question about our defensive
strength."
Colby and second baseman
Mike Hickey, who bat third and
fourth, combined for five RBI's
in Wednesday's win, and both
broke out of minor slumps.
"We needed a big offensive
performance to get ready for
Minnesota," he said. "I think this
win was a big lift.
"Mike and I just try to do our
share bringing in the runs."
Johnson back at A&M practice
Continued from Page 3
against SMU, three days before
the fracture occurred.
"I guess somebody came down
real hard on my foot," Johnson
said. "It wasn't bothering me be
cause I had a lot of adrenaline go
ing, but after the game 1 started
feeling a little soreness. So I took
an X-ray, and on the X-ray, you
saw a slight, slight, slight crack,
but it was more like a bad bruise."
The team doctors allowed him
to play up to his pain tolerance
level. Then, in the Texas game, the
break occurred as he was driving
in the open lane.
"I went up for a layup, and I
felt the break because I got shovel
in the back and I planted ]
hard on my left foot," he
"Then, at halftime I cooled <
I couldn't come back in thesecoii
half because it was just too
pain."
Contributing to the team
main goal for Johnson in his fid
season. EJe said he realizes thatk
cannot score 25 points a
right away. He just wants
able to play Texas again on f
8th.
"If I keep on practicing,kef
on making improvements
am now, and then eventually get
ting into full practices, lean
coach that I can go (all out),at!
he'll let me play."

and took precautions. Sure
enough, in the second game, the
rain pummeled the brave fans
who stuck around for both
games.
Sometimes rain isn't the
problem. It's the cold. Wednes
day, after yet another postpone
ment, the Aggies played Sam
Houston State: A cold front had
blown into town the previous
evening which forced tempera
tures at game time to drop into
the 50s.
These schedule makers need
to realize it's February. It's still
winter. When the winds blow so
cold that the flesh on your face
turns numb, the first thing that
comes to mind is not, "It sure
feels like baseball season!"
This weekend, the Aggies
will get a break from thewealliei
when they play a tournament in
Minneapolis' Hubert H.
Humphrey Metrodome, siteot
Super Bowl XXsomething. This
afternoon, they face Mississippi
State, who has yet to play a
game.
Either Mississippi State has
had a season filled with rainoul
or the school didn't bother
scheduling a game until the
weather was tolerable. If it's the
latter, A&M needs to hire Missis
sippi State's schedule maker.
