At the end of the game, he sighed in frustration. The Cougars exploded in the first few minutes of the second half and never looked back to gain a 79-69 victory at Hofheinz Pavilion Saturday. A&M's record dropped to 5- 19, and 1-10 in Southwest Con ference play. Houston stayed on its track to the NCAA tourna ment, upping their record to 20- 5, 9-3 in the SWC. The Aggies' loss was not the fault of sophomore Chuck Hen derson. The walk-on racked up a career-high 29 points to lead all scorers. He also tied a school record with seven three-pointers in the game. Henderson had 16 points in the first half, including eight of A&M's first ten points, which spurred the Aggies to a 36-31 ad vantage at intermission. Henderson opened the sec ond half with a three-pointer to put A&M up by eight, but that would be their largest lead. The tempo quickened, and the Cougars took advantage of it with a 16-3 run. "Instead of controlling the tempo, we tried to do things to quickly," Barone said. "We tried to throw too many quick passes. "We tried to do things that we can't do anyway. We tried to make a big play instead of mak ing a smart play. "And it's not from a lack of effort. We want to get it done so Aggies host Baylor The Aggies will play a unique Monday night game tonight against Baylor at 7:30 in G. Rollie WTiite Coliseum. The series between the two teams was rescheduled after the first game was postponed due to carbon monoxide poisoning at Waco's Ferrell Center. On Feb. 19, the Aggies won their first and only SWC game over the Bears, 63-61. The Bears are 4-9 in SWC action, 12-14 overall. A&M is 1- 10 in SWC play, 5-19 overall. quickly that we try to do it right now instead of taking our time." Houston won the game in the middle. Senior forward Craig Upchurch had 20 points and cen ter Charles Outlaw had nine blocked shots. Though A&M only had one less rebound than Houston, the presence of Outlaw and Up church, both 6-foot-8, made it dif ficult to compete under the bas ket. "They're the most physical team that we play," Barone said. "We just don't have the kind of physical stature that Outlaw or Upchurch has. We have a real tough time with that." Shedrick Anderson, who had 21 points and seven rebounds, said A&M lost key rebounds during Houston's big run which was the key to the game. "We were flat the second half in the first six minutes," Ander son said. "They outrebounded us in the second half, so the mo mentum changed into their hands." The Aggies had a chance to come back late in the second half. With Houston's lead cut to eight with 2:40 left in the game, Chuck Henderson turned the ball over to Upchurch. The Cougars even tually converted two free throws and never let the Aggies get any closer. Houston hit 84 percent of their free throws, including 19 of their last 22 to ice the victory. "You play the percentages against us," I3arone said. . "The percentages are that at some point in time we're going to struggle in the game. "It just so happens we strug gled the first six minutes of the second half, and that was the dif ference in the game." The Aggies shot selection im proved Saturday. A&M hit 56 percent from the field and 58 per cent from three-point range. A&M had been shooting 43 percent from the field this sea son, 31 percent from three-point range. best not enough for A&M Henderson's By Steve O'Brien The Battalion HOUSTON - Chuck Hen derson's best wasn't quite good enough Saturday afternoon. The Texas A&M sopho more guard scored a ca reer-high 29 points against the Houston Cougars, but the Aggies fell, 79-69. A gradu ate of Houston Lee High Henderson School, Hen derson tied a school record with seven 3-pointers in a game, in cluding four in the first half. He was ll-of-14 from the field for the game. "I just go out there and play my hardest," Henderson said. "There was the hometown crowd and all my friends and every thing — it just felt good being home." Henderson, who is a second- year walk-on, connected on nine of his first 10 shots, including seven of eight 3-pointers. "I just have a feeling some times," he said, "that I can hit the shot in the game. 1 just had one of those feelings today. . "Coach was telling me against the zone to spot up and shoot. I was hitting in warmups and had one of the feelings again. I was getting the ball in the right place, and I just teed it up." A&M center Shedrick Ander son added 21 points for the Ag gies and pulled down a team- high seven rebounds. Anderson said Henderson's shooting helped to free up room under the basket. "I feel very excited for (Chuck)," Anderson said. "It helps open things up inside for me. It gives me a chance to ma neuver. It just gets so congested out there. "His outside shooting is a definite positive for the team." Henderson, who jammed his thumb in practice last week, was forced to play the game with a taped right hand. "I was thinking about it when the game started," he said. "But after I made my first (basket), it felt pretty good. "My shots starting falling, and I got the ball in the right places at the right times and just teed it up." A&M head coach Tony Barone said Henderson's attitude has contributed to his success this season. "Chuck is the kid who comes to practice every day wanting to play," Barone said. "Heshows that if you want something bad enough, you can go out and get it. "He's certainly been a sur prise for us in terms of produc tion, but he's never been a sur prise for us with his attitude.''
