Aggies look for home SWC win
A&M takes shot at Raiders, look for elusive Coliseum victory
By Anthony Andro
The Battalion
Home has been anything but sweet for the
Texas A&M men's basketball team. For that
matter, the road has not been exactly nice.
But nonetheless, the Aggies will host their
final home game of the 1991-92 season tonight
when the Texas Tech Red Raiders travel to
College Station. The game starts at 7:30 p.m. in
G. Rollie White Coliseum.
A&M comes into the game with a 5-20
record, 1-11 in Southwest Conference play.
Texas Tech is 13-12, and 5-7 in SWC play.
The Aggies are 3-11 at G. Rollie White this
season, and their only SWC win came against
Baylor on the road. In fact, the last conference
win at home for A&M came against Tech in
March, 1990.
The Red Raiders will offer the Aggies a
chance at redemption for a Feb. 1 loss in
Lubbock. A&M coach Tony Barone said the
70-50 loss was one of two games this season
that he was not pleased with his team's effort.
Barone also knows the Aggies must play
well to beat the Red Raiders.
What Hollerhouse?
A&M has won two Southwest Conference games in
G. Rollie White Coliseum in the last three seasons.
1989- 1990 (Overall SWC record: 7-9)
Jan. 24, 1990: A&M 89, Rice 82
Mar. 3, 1990: A&M 83, Texas Tech 72
1990- 1991 (Overall SWC record: 2-14)
No SWC wins at home
1991- 1992 (Overall SWC record: 1-11)
No SWC wins at home
"We didn't play real well the last time we
played them," Barone said. "They've gotten a
lot better since then, and we've been pretty
inconsistent.
"It's going to be a tough game. They're
very physical, and they play real good man-to-
man defense and they're very aggressive.
(Will) Flemons is probably the best big man in
the league in terms of his capabilities. He's
just a real talented player."
The Aggies have been averaging 75 points
a game over their last three contests, which is
10 points above their season average. But
Barone said that their increased point
production has been misleading.
"We're scoring, but we're getting some
baskets off of some things you can't live on,"
he said. "We have to be more consistent.We
haven't been able to get the break going the
last couple of games, and a lot of that's
because we've been trying to change the
tempo in the games."
Monday night, the Aggies lost their fourth
straight game when Baylor defeated the
Aggies, 96-86, at G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Corey Henderson led the Aggies in scoring
with 18 points. He was one of six Aggies to
score in double figures in the defeat. The 86
points was a season high for the Aggies.
One bright spot in the defeat was the
return of freshman forward Damon Johnson.
Johnson broke a bone in his foot against Texas
on Jan. 14 and has been out since. He scored
14 points in his return.
Johnson leads the Aggies in scoring with
16.6 points a game. Sophomore point guard
David Edwards ranks second, averaging 14
points a contest.
Golf course in need of improvement
Continued from Page 5
the University to solicit funds for
the renovation of the course.
Poe said the golf course needs
at least $300,000 to begin
improvements. He said the
University, not Fore Card, would
determine the schedule of
improvements.
A&M course manager John
Andrews said the program could
help the current condition of the
course.
"I think it's a good idea,"
Andrews said. "It offers people a
chance to help the golf course
and get some benefits back.
"It's a championship golf
course as far as layout. You have
bunkers and left and right
doglegs. It requires a certain
degree of shot making and the
par-3 holes are all tough.
"It's not Augusta, but it's
interesting to play in that you
have a variety of shots," he said.
"There's plenty of potential for
it."
Andrews and Poe said initial
funds could help start the
construction of permanent cart
paths. Poe said cart paths would
eventually create money for the
course.
"Right now there's just not
money to build these cart paths,"
Poe said. "During the last three
months you've had the course
open to golf carts a total of two
days. If you had golf carts, you
could generate additional
revenues."
Andrews said the new
program also will raise money
for tree planting and new
sprinklers.
"(A sprinkler system) is one
of the big projects we know we'll
need down the line," Andrews
said. "We want anything that
will make the course better."
Poe said a new sprinkler
system could cost as much as
$500,000.
"The current sprinkler system
was installed in 1951," he said.
"The new systems take a lot less
maintenance and some are
computerized."
The A&M golf course was
designed by Ralph Plummer,
who also designed Colonial
Country Club in Fort Worth and
Champions Golf Club in
Houston. It was built in 1951
and redesigned in 1972 by Jackie
Burke.
Former Texas A&M golfer
Bobby Gee, who was the 1990
Southwest Conference champion,
said the course has potential.
"The course has great layout,
but it needs a little attention,"
Gee said. "They've got a great
staff out there, and they work
well with people, and that's what
it takes.
"I would like to see it
manicured better. But I think
those guys do the best they can
with what they have."
But Poe said even if someone
isn't an Aggie or isn't interested
in helping improve the A&M
course, the privileges of
membership are enough to join
the program.
"They're are a lot of
advantages to being a member,"
Poe said. "It's not just a
donation. This program, as a
stand alone, without even
supporting the school will be a
tremendous saver to the golfer."
Cougars jump
to second place
HOUSTON (AP) - Sam Mack
scored 16 points and Houston
finally edged away from Texas
Christian for a 50-44 victory
Tuesday night that gave the
Cougars sole possession of
second place in the Southwest
Conference.
Houston (21-5 overall and 10-
3 in SWC) leads the Horned Frogs
(21-7, 9-4) with one game to play.
The Cougars took advantage
of a 7:50 field-goal drought by the
Frogs, who didn't score a field
goal from the eight-minute mark
until Reggie Smith's basket with
10 seconds to go.
Smith led the Frogs with 15
points and Albert Thomas added
12. Craig Upchurch scored 14
points for the Cougars.
Houston took a 31-25 lead
early in the second half and took
the lead for good on Charles
Outlaw's basket with 7:42 left in
the game.
Mack scored six of his team's
first eight points and the Cougars
lead 15-7 early — the biggest of
the game.
