Barone said that A&M will not be as susceptible as other teams are to SMU's capitalizing on turnovers and defensively trying to force mistakes and rush their opponent's shots. "For-us, a good shot is a lot, dif ferent than other people's," Barone said. "We try to create certain overloads in what we do offensively to get us good looks at the basket." He also said that SMU's long shots would create long rebounds, and the guards would have to work hard for those rebounds. In their last road game, A&M defeated Texas Christian by hang ing on to a close win as TCU missed a last second shot. Barone said that the win re lieved a lot of the frustration the team felt after playing well in oth er road games, only to lose in the final seconds. "It was a conference win, it was on the road and I was getting tired of hearing, 'Why aren't you winning on the road?'" he said. "I told them (the team), 'When you play and win a road game, you don't concern yourself with the score, you concern yourself with the 'W,'"Barone said. "We didn't shoot our free throws down at the end well, we made a couple of technical mistakes prob ably, a couple of fouls we commit ted that we shouldn't have com mitted, but overall we played well." "The win on the road just kind of gets you over the insecurity of 'Gee we played well but we haven't won' — that mentality." National media are beginning to notice the changes in A&M's program, especially after A&M came close to breaking UNLV's 55-game home court winning streak in a 98-96 overtime loss. "Positive recognition of effort is what I look for," Barone said. "We didn't get the nail in the coffin, but we produced from the standpoint of competing, han dling adversity in terms of crowds and travel, so that's another step toward moving in the right direc tion." Broderson said that although their record doesn't show it, with their successes and experience, A&M is in a position to win more road games. "We're able to bring it down to the wire, and hopefully we'll get a couple more breaks," he said. tVedne; Le£ loo Sha of a THE Lady Ags Continued from Page 5 Hickey said the Mustangs play an aggressive, scrappy style of basketball that presents a problem because of the way SMU likes to fast break. She said the Mustangs have the perfect sparkplug to ig nite their run-and-gun style. "SMU's point guard (Missy) Parker does an excellent job of running that offense and making the right decision," she said. "Both of their guards have a size advantage over our guards, which could present a problem. "But I think (Aggie guards) Lisa (Branch) and Donyale (Cana da) will handle themselves with out a problem." While A&M might be at a size disadvantage at the guards, there is one area where the Aggies stand tall. "With our centers, we are taller than them so that will help with the rebounding," Hickey said. "We also have a quickness advan tage which plays to our benefit." A&M also has an intangible edge. "We are looking for revenge," sophomore forward Twylana Harrison said. "They beat us twice last year, so we need to prove something to everybody." Last season, the Mustangs beat the Aggies by a 62-49 score at C. Rollie White. The 49 points scored by A&M were a season low. A&M did beat SMU in Dallas, but the Mustangs nipped the Ag gies by an 85-77 count in the first round of the 1992 SWC tourna ment. "I am going to be overanxious because we are playing SMU and, as a team, we want to show that last season's results were kind ofa fluke," Brown said. "I hope my being excited will be a positive rather than a negative." Harrison summed up the gen eral feeling of the team concern ing tonight's contest. "We have to beat SMU." Norwood Continued from Page 5 mighty proud these days. He has one of the top two lefty pitch ing prospects in the country in Jeff Granger, who turned down a contract with the then-defending world champion Minnesota Twins last summer. He's also got Kelly Wunsch, another tall lefty with a curveball that makes pro scouts drool. The Aggies have Rob Trimble back at catcher to handle their talented staff, along with .300- hitter Billy Harlan to anchor the lineup at designated hitter. The freshest face at A&M might be the biggest headline- maker, though. True freshman Chad Alexander, a center fielder from Lufkin, chose to come to A&M despite being drafted in the second round by the Cincin nati Reds. His choice appears to be pay ing off so far, as he enters his first season here as the fifth-best freshman in the country, some thing Johnson doubts will hinder his prize recruit. "He can handle it (the atten tion)," Johnson said. "He's got a lot of poise. "He has a good chance to start." If a weakness can be found in the Aggies, it is the infield. Start ing shortstop Paul Barber is out for the year after a recent auto ac cident, forcing second baseman Rob Harris to make the move to short, with outfielder Eric Gon zalez replacing Harris. "That's our problem area," Johnson said. "We're very young in the infield, and Paul's injury didn't help much." Infield inexperience notwith standing, the typical Olsen Field buzz should be a bit louder this year. That can be nothing but ex citing for Johnson, who has flirt ed with the College World Series ever since taking over the head job at A&M in 1985. Maybe the flirting's over. It sure feels like it's time for that first date.
