"Losing a lead like that is more mental than it is physical because we used a deep rotation," Hickey said. "We need to learn to play more confidently because we lose our defensive intensity during different parts of the game." Once again Branch stepped up, grabbing two defensive rebounds with less than a minute left. Two free throws by Burket sealed the victory at 79 -74. "We had another good lead like in the LSU game that we al most let slip away," said Burket. "We need to get a killer instinct so we hopefully can start to put away games." Hickey was also scared that it might turn out to be a carbon copy of the Houston and LSU games. "It was a big win, and we real ly needed that," Hickey said. "But, we can't be satisfied with this win because of the way we played." The Lady Aggies, who move to 9-5 overall with a 2-1 conference record, will conclude their three- game homestand on Wednesday as they host Southern Methodist University.

Someone hates A&M With football signing day little more than a week away, someone from another school in this state could be trying to scare recruits away from A&M by cooking up a scandal that would make serious sanctions appear immenent. The News might have given A&M officials an opportunity to respond, as they did before the original story ran back in Decem ber. If that is the case, then the sto ry will probably run in two Sun days when the DMN needs to sell papers. A scandal of this magni tude would sell lots of them, and since the Cowboys are in the Su per Bowl the News is virtually as sured of having a big seller this coming weekend. In a sport where the focus is almost always on the player that scores the most points, Texas A&M freshman point guard Lisa Branch seems to be enjoying her self by giving instead of receiving. Saturday's 79-74 win over Texas Christian turned out to be a showcase for Branch's ability to spark the A&M offense with her Southwest Conference record 19 assists, a total that broke the pre vious record of 18, which was set in 1983 by Baylor's Darlene Primeaux and tied in 1988 by Arkansas's Donna Wilson. Her assist total does not tell the whole story about Branch's play making ability, however. Against TCU, all but two players finished the game without scoring a point. Four of those Lady Aggies scored in double figures, with Branch scoring 12 herself. "She's a great player," A&M's Beth Burket said. "She creates a lot of our shots." Branch also has a knack for creating a lot of her own shots. The DeSoto native entered last week leading the team in scoring with 11.4 points per game. Once Branch found out at half time that the assist record was in reach, though, the scoring part of the game took a back seat. "I'm pretty excited tonight," Branch said, unable to hide her emotions. "It was like every person I passed it to, they made their shots. "I though that it (the record) was 14. But l just told the girls that I really wanted that record." Branch almost did not make it into the starting lineup against TCU, as she injured her right shoulder in the Louisiana State game on Jan. 20. A&M head coach Lynn Hickey had Bambi Ferguson penciled in at the point against TCU, with Branch coming off of the bench. One quick recovery later, the most vocal member of Hickey's stellar freshman class had her name etched in the SWC record books. Not affiliated with ETS or Princeton U.
