Aggies rebound, take 2 of 3
From Staff and Wire Reports
In the midst of a three-game South
west Conference losing streak, Texas
A&M baseball coach Mark Johnson decid
ed Friday night was a good time for a talk
with his troops.
That meeting was apparently what
Johnson's Aggies needed as they re
bounded on Saturday to take both games
of a doubleheader from Texas Christian
University to win the series two games to
one.
After losing to the Horned Frogs, 4-3,
on Friday night to open the series, A&M
came back with 15 runs in the final two
games to record 6-3 and 9-3 victories.
The series
kept the Ag
gies in second
place in the
conference
standings
with an 11-7
conference
mark, and
moved their
overall record
to 23-11. TCU
fell to 7-11, lb-
17 overall.
Texas leads the conference race with a 14-
4 mark.
The Horned Frogs started the week
end on a positive note, surprising A&M

ace Jeff Granger (4-2) with a 4-3 win.
Johnson then called a team meeting after
the game that seemed to motivate his
team for the Saturday twinbill.
In Saturday's first game, Brian Harri
son pitched six and one-third innings and
moved his record to 4-3 on the season.
Harrison gave up six hits, struck out three
and walked two. Right fielder Jay Estes
provided the offensive punch for the Ag
gies, going 2-for-4 and knocking in three
runs.
Catcher Rob Trimble opened the scor
ing for A&M with a double in the third to
open a 2-0 lead. The Aggies never looked
back after Robert Harris doubled in a run.

Cincy, Michigan join Duke, Indiana
(AP) - Youthful Michigan and little-known
Cincinnati advanced to the Final Four Sunday to join
the cast of Saturday's winners, Duke and Indiana.

men worked overtime Sunday, beating Big Ten
nemesis Ohio State 75-71 behind 23 points and 11 re

the game into
overtime with a
powerful fol
lowup shot that
tied it at 63 with
31 seconds left.
The 15th-ranked

dominated the
extra period,
outscoring Ohio
State 12-4 over
the first 41/2
minutes before the third-ranked Buckeyes scored
two meaningless baskets at the end.
In Kansas City, Kan., the 12th-ranked Bearcats,
behind the play of Herb Jones and Nick Van Exel,

Slocum, A&M launch
spring football practice
Team looks to fill holes at QB, linebacker, secondary
By Steve O'Brien
The Battalion
If all the great plays from the 1991 Texas A&M
football season were edited onto one videotape, two
things would become apparent after the play button
was pushed.
First, the highlights could be watched for hours.
The. long list of touchdown runs, interceptions and
tackles the Aggies made on their way to the 1992 Cot
ton Bowl were some of the most memorable in the
country.
Second, the players most responsible for that
thrilling script will not be around for the 1992 season.
This is why A&M head coach R. C. Slocum begins
spring practice with guarded optimism.
"The biggest thing we have to do is replace some
key players," Slocum said. "You talk about (quarter
back) Bucky Richardson, (linebacker) Quentin Cory-
att, (safety) Chris Grooms, (cornerback) Kevin Smith
and (noseguard) Mark Wheeler — those guys are go
ing to leave a big hole."
All five players are seniors and expected to be Na
tional Football League draft picks. Even though the
Aggies have nine returning offensive starters and
seven returning on to the A&M defense, Slocum said
there is a lot of work to do for next season.
"You start the spring, and you have to start look
ing for replacements for those people," Slocum said.
"It's really a fun thing to start out and try to build a
team again. There is some carryover (from last year),
but there's no guarantee that you'll have ^ood team
chemistry and all those things a year later A
There are three major areas of concern for the Ag
gies: quarterback, inside linebacker and defensive
backs.
Richardson, who led the Aggies to a 10-1 regular
season record last year and a Southwest Conference
championship, leaves as the winningest quarterback
in A&M history. Richardson also became the first
SWC quarterback in history to rush for over 2,000
yards in a career.
"The biggest thing is that we've lost Bucky, and
we don't have an experienced quarterback coming
back," Slocum said. "In the scope of things on a foot
ball team, the most important position is quarterback,
because he touches the ball every offensive play."
