Barone will
succeed, just as
McGuire did
J DOUGLAS

Sports Editor
L istening
to one of
the
greatest col
lege basketball
coaches of all
time speak
Friday night, I
was reminded
of someone
we all know
who holds a
similar posi
tion on this
campus.
As A1
McGuire, one
of the true re
maining leg
ends in college basketball, spoke
about his days in the game and his
days now as a commentator, I con
jured up visions in my mind of some
other struggling program, 25 years
from now. That program, I thought,
might be asking Tony Barone to speak
at their preseason dinner to tell about
how he brought a struggling Texas
A&M team from the depths of NCAA
probation to a top 25 team that
pushed the 20-win level every season.
McGuire, long-time head coach
and national championship winner at
Marquette University, spoke at the
first ever Barone Bash last weekend, a
golf tournament/dinner to help pro
mote Barone's new basketball pro
gram at A&M.
As he spoke, he talked about the
way he built his program, and the
things he used to tell his players be
fore every game.
He also spoke of a younger Tony
Barone, then a coach in the city of
Chicago, who would drive to Mil
waukee to attend his practice ses
sions.
Funny, everything about him re
minded me of Barone later in his ca-

Texas A&M’s Karen Richards (left) and Amy Kisling go up for a block in the Lady
Aggies’ loss to Texas Wednesday. The Lady Longhorns earned revenge for last
season’s loss at G. Rollie White, which ended a 69-game Southwest Conference
win streak.
Texas gets revenge
over Lady Aggies
for '91 road loss
By DON NORWOOD
Sports Writer of THE BATTALION
What a difference a year makes.
The ninth-ranked University of Texas
volleyball team came into College Station
with economy-size chips on their shoul
ders Wednesday night and avenged last
year's loss to Texas A&M by plowing the
Lady Aggies under 15-5, 15-4, 15-4 in
three quick, painful games.
The first game set the tone for the en
tire match, as Texas reeled off a 6-0 run
late to go up 14-4. The two games that
followed were not much better for the
Lady Aggies, as the Lady 'Horns had un
interrupted runs of 8-0 of 5-0 respectively.
That first run was the killer, as it took
the air out of the Lady Aggies and cast a
pall over the team that never lifted.
"That probably was the turning point
(of the match),' middle blocker Kim
Mitchell said. "We kind of got down and
never could get back up."
Texas never had to get up, as they ap
peared from the outset to be a team with
no intentions of getting down.
A look at the statistics tells the tale in
no uncertain terms, as the Lady 'Horns
had team hitting percentages of .517 and
.615 in the second and third games, while
in those same two games A&M had team
clips of .156 and .045.
Throw in the Lady Aggies' first game,
when they had miserable -.067 hitting
percentage, and it is not hard to see why
A&M head coach A1 Givens was not of
good cheer following the match.
"I though we played very, very tenta
tively," Givens said, his hoarse voice giv
ing away the emotion of the match.
"(After the second game) we came out
playing a lot harder, but we still weren't
scoring. I just told them, 'Hey, at this
point you've got nothing to lose. Take it
a point at a time and get back in it.'"
The Lady Aggies' lack of scoring was
the biggest difference from a year ago.
when they beat Texas in a five-game
marathon to end the Lady 'Horns' 69-
game Southwest Conference winning
streak. Top scorer Elizabeth Edmiston
was held to only seven kills on 20 at
tempts, while Sheila Morgan came off the
bench to add six kills on 15 tries.
No other A&M player had more than
two kills in a match that was frustrating
for the Lady Aggies from beginning to
end.

Morgan shines
despite Texas'
dominance
By K. LEE DAVIS
Sports Writer of THE BATTALION
With her team faltering and in
need of a lift, Texas A&JVTs Sheila
Morgan stepped off of the bench
and turned in another solid perfor
mance for the Lady Aggie volleyball
team in Wednesday night's loss to
the University of Texas.
"If we all could have played at
the same level she (Morgan) did, it
would have been a different story,"
senior co-captain Elizabeth Edmis
ton said.
The Aggies were dominated for
three straight games in a match that
lasted exactly one hour, and saw the
Lady Longhorns hit for a .500 aver-
age.
Morgan had six kills and a .267
hitting average, the kills good for
second best and the average being
the highest amongst the Lady Ag
gies. The entire A&M squad, how
ever, was only able to hit for a .072
average.
"We just didn't have it together
tonight, but Sheila sure did," senior
middle blocker Kim Mitchell said.
Edmiston added that Morgan’s'
play is usually inspiring for the rest
of the team, and that it often raises
the playing level of her teammates
around her.
"Sheila's the kind of player that
can come in and really get some re
ally good things going," Edmiston
said.
"She's a great blocker, and she
came in and stopped some drills
when she needed to."
Morgan said she approaches
