No practice makes perfect
Barone gives Aggies day off; team holds on to edge Tech at Coliseum
ABC pushes
wrong button
with A&M-UT
I t's time for coach Tony Barone and
the Aggies to send a strong mes
sage to ABC and the rest of the na
tion.
Sunday's final regular season bas
ketball game between Texas A&M
and the University of Texas is sched
uled for regional broadcast on ABC
television. The Aggies will enter the
game with a 6-20 overall record and a
2-12 mark in conference play. The
Longhorns are leading the conference
race with a 10-2 record and will take
on Rice tonight before hosting A&M
on Sunday.
But something is definitely wrong
with this picture.
It makes sense that most national
networks would try to schedule the
best possible matchup for a televised
game. But it has been a long time
since I can remember ABC or any of
the Big Three networks putting a 6-20
team on television.
There must be a reason for this
game to be televised. Maybe it's the
rivalry? Probably not. ABC doesn't
think that there is any chance of the
Aggies winning this game. The net
work doesn't buy that rivalry stuff for
one minute.
One reason this game is on ABC
television could be for some South
west Conference promotion. But if
anyone wants to promote the confer
ence, they are going about it all
wrong.
If we want the nation to see SWC
basketball at its competitive best, then

Maybe Texas A&M men's basketball
coach Tony Barone has found the reason
for his team's troubles - they practice too
much.
"We didn't practice yesterday,"
Barone said. "That's the first time I've
ever done that the day before a game."
It paid off Wednesday night. The Ag
gies ended their four-game losing streak
by defeating Texas Tech, 58-56, in front of
2,545 fans at G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The victory improved the Aggies'
record to 6-20, and 2-11 in Southwest
Conference play while Tech fell to 13-13,
and 5-8 in the SWC. It was A&M's first
conference win in the Coliseum since
March, 1990.
Tech center Will Flemons missed a
turnaround jumper with no time left to
give the Aggies the victory. A&M's Da
mon Johnson failed to convert the second
free throw of a one-and-one with six sec
onds left to give the Raiders a chance to
tie or win.
A&M did what it hadn't been able to
do in the past - hold the lead down the
stretch. But it was not easy.
Leading 57-56 with 25 seconds left,
sophomore point guard David Edwards
was fouled. The point guard went to the
free throw line and missed the front end
of a one-and-one.
Flemons rebounded the ball and
missed a jumper at the other end of the
court. Tech's Lament Dale fouled John
son in the scramble for the rebound,
sending Johnson to the free throw line
with eight seconds remaining.
Johnson's first free throw hit the front
of the rim, bounced off the back and
found its way through the net to give the
Aggies a 58-56 lead. His second free
throw was short, and Tech's Bryant
Moore picked up the rebound.
"I needed to hit both of them," John
son said. "I started celebrating a little too
early. Coach said it's never over until the
clock says zero."
Barone said he knew the Red Raiders
would give the ball to Flemons in that sit
uation.
"I thought they were going to go di
rectly to Will from the out-of-bounds
play," he said. "I lost a high school game

Lady Aggies swamped by Swoopes
From Staff and 'Wire Reports
LUBBOCK - Sheryl Swoopes had 26
points and all of Texas Tech's starters
scored in double figures as the No. 15
Lady Red Raiders claimed their first
Southwest Conference regular season
championship with an 84-62 victory
over Texas A&M Wednesday night.
The Raiders (22-4 overall, 12-1 in
the SWC) wept as SWC Commissioner
Fred Jacoby handed the players their
golden trophy minutes after Tech
earned its eighth consecutive victory
against the Lady Aggies (15-12, 7-7).
A&M's Yolanda Brown scored 20
points, and Shawn Medlock added 14.
Senior Dena Russo scored only four
points in her last regular season game.
The Lady Aggies shot 38 percent
from the floor and only 10 percent from
three-point range .
Texas Tech, which will be the top
seed in the SWC postseason tourna
ment next week, becomes only the third
school to win the SWC regular season
title in the 10 years women have com
peted in the conference.
Texas A&M will have the fifth seed
in the conference tournament and will
play SMU on Wednesday.
