By DON NORWOOD Sports Writer of THE BATTALION Texas A&M gets a chance to face the other end of the spectrum tonight when they host the 2-0 University of South Alabama at 7 p.m. in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Five days after falling 81-55 to a physical Missouri team in their home opener, A&M will tip off against a small, hustling squad in the Jaguars that specializes in de fense and running the floor. Despite the similarities to his own team, A&M head coach Tony Barone said the athleticism of South Alabama, much like Mis souri's bruising style, can present opponents a few problems. "South Alabama is an extreme ly athletic team," Barone said. "Of die three teams we have played so far, they're probably the most ath letic." The centerpiece of head coach Ronnie Arrow's Jaguar squad is point guard Cedric Yelding, a for mer Sophomore of the Year in the Sun Belt Conference who special izes in dishing out assists and opening up scoring opportunities. Yelding, who led the Sun Belt a year ago in assists by averaging 7.1 per game, has picked up other aspects of his game this season. He logged a career-high 20 points in USA's 107-100 win over West Virginia, and had three steals in a 68-66 defeat of St. Louis. Barone said stopping Yelding will be a high priority for the Ag gies, who will be focusing on pre venting turnovers that South Al abama loves to take advantage of on their way to opening up leads. "He's a kid that we have to be concerned with and be aggressive against," Barone said. The Jaguars have shown a re cent affinity for crashing the boards in spite of the fact that their tallest player, like A&M, is only 6-foot-8. As a result, the Ag gies will be looking to heat up their rebounding. "It (the key defensively) has got to be rebounding," freshman for ward Lance Broderson said. "From our scouting report I know that they've already got 42 offen sive rebounds in two games. "They're a quick team, so we've got to get back on defense." Barone remained extremely pleased about A&M's season opening crowd of 6,498, the largest home crowd for an Aggie game in almost four years. "It was an incredible turnout," Barone said. "We, as a staff, were very appreciative of that. "We've turned the corner from the standpoint of fixing up G. Rol lie White, which we needed des perately. Now we want to contin ue to get the students in here."
