Brown Continued from Page 5 was just a matter of her going onto the court and doing it. "Her motivation has been at an all-time high because she is ap proaching her last games. I just hope she can keep it up for a few more weeks." If Brown continues at a high al titude of play, she could help A&M make some postseason noise in the Southwest Confer ence tournament. But playoff success might not top her favorite memory at A&M. "When we beat Texas last year (74-73) at their place, that was the ultimate thrill," Brown said. "I was really excited for (former player) Dena Russo when she hit that shot in overtime. "Dena was somebody that I looked up to, so the combination of us winning because she hit the shot is great." With Russo moving on. Brown became the elder statesman of the team. Dominated by freshman and sophomores, A&M needed direction. Naturally, the job fell into Brown's lap. "Being an upperclassmen, the freshman will tend to look up to you," Brown said. "I just wanted to provide a good model for them to follow." Hickey said she thought Brown has done an excellent job of providing the necessary leader ship. "She has gotten close to the kids, and they have really fol lowed her lead," she said. "Her playing with a lot of enthusiasm during the last couple of games has really rubbed off on the the other kids." Brown and the rest of her teammates will need to muster more than excitement against Texas Tech. The Red Raiders, led by All-American candidate Sheryl Swoopes, who is averaging 26 points and eight rebounds, will be difficult to contain, according to Hickey. "Sheryl is going to get her 25 or 30 points," Hickey said. "We need to throw her out of her rhythm, and to do that we will play some junk defenses. On the offensive end, we need to run the ball when we have a chance and rebound the basketball. "That is very key in us secur ing a victory." Brown said a win would be a nice final touch to her career. "It would be great to beat Texas Tech, but that will be diffi cult because Swoopes is such a consistent player, and shutting her down is no easy chore. Brown said. As the Pampa, Texas, native prepares to saddle up and ride off into the A&M sunset, only one thought keeps crossing her mind. "Once it is over, it is over," Brown said with a smile. "There will be no looking back." SWT Continued from Page 5 drive in Brian Thomas. A&M was not through yet as they broke the game open on Har ris' third home run of the season, which also scored rightfielder Stephen Claybrook. "Being in the top of the rank ings, we are always going to see the other team's top pitchers," Johnson said. "Nobody is going to be sleeping when they play us. They are all going to be ready to play." The Aggies will now host Maine and Illinois State in back- to-back three-game sets to dose out their current 12-game homes- tand. "Maine has always been the owerhouse of the Northeastern egion in college baseball," John son said. "They have three of their four starting pitchers return ing from last year. "We knew it was going to be a tough series when we put it on the schedule. (Maine coach) John Winkin is a legend in college baseball, and he always puts out a good team on the field." Jeff Granger will also have a chance to break the A&M school record for all-time strikeouts. Granger is only one behind Mark Thurmond with 272. KEVIN (VY/The Battalion A&M's Stephen Claybrook (16) slides into second as SWT's Maclt Steele awaits the throw. Claybrook took third after an errant toss. Norwood Continued from Page 5 frontrunner for NCAA Freshman of the Year in outfielder Jose Cruz, Jr. Who would have expected Houston, though, to jump so high in the rankings a year after finishing seventh in the SWC? Baylor's jump into the rankings is less of a surprise, but a sur prise nonetheless. One obvious reason for the impressive start of the SWC has to be the abandonment of last year's 36-game, round robin schedule for a much more sensi ble 18-game slate. By this time last year, A&M had already played six conference games. The Aggies even had to open the season in the conference, facing Rice on the road after their scheduled opener against Stephen F. Austin was rained out. The halving of the number of SWC games and the positive re sults that have come about have provided a much-needed boost for a league rife with rumors of dissolution. The latest have A&M going to the Southeastern Conference, with Texas heading north to the Big 10. Unfortunately, the SWC's suc cess in baseball will do little to end such rumors. That's simply a fact of life in a time when foot ball, more specifically television revenue from football, dictates the direction in which athletic departments go. At most schools, football is the only money-making sport, and is often forced to become the backbone of their athletic bud gets. Basing every athletic deci sion on how it will affect football is therefore a necessary evil. Wouldn't it be nice, though, if SWC baseball takes a small step out from under the shadow of football and makes a difference? With five teams in the Top 25 and Tech threatening to follow suit, the SWC has more ranked teams than any other conference. That includes the SEC's LSU, Mississippi State, Georgia and Florida. Not to mention the baseball-rich Pac 10, which boasts few strangers to Omaha. Reputation counts for some thing in the NCAA. Just ask any basketball coach in the Big East, or anybody even remotely asso ciated with Notre Dame athlet ics. An establishment of the SWC as the elite baseball league in the country at a time when the sport is starting to compete with the major leagues for prospects might not change the world, but it could change a few attitudes about the conference for the time being. Believe it or not, that might be something to be proud of.

A&M eyes revenge at Tech FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS The 9-15 Texas A&M men's basketball travels to Lubbock to day to try to avenge a February Ihome loss to Texas Tech that A&M coach Tony Barone called his team's worst game in two years. That game, played after the Aggies dominated in an emotion al home victory against Baylor, found the Aggies flat against the Red Raiders, who rolled over the Aggies 69-54. Tech turned the tide of a 12-3 A&M advantage by switching from man-to-man defense to zone, turning off the Aggie of fense to pull away for their biggest margin of victory ever in College Station. A&M forward Brett Murry led the team with a career-high 16 points while. Tech's Will Flemons scored 20 points with 11 rebounds to pace the Red Raiders. A&M was out-rebounded 39-26. The rest of A&M's schedule is on the road, travelling to Rice's Autry Court to close out the sea son on the sixth and Dallas for the Southwest Conference Tourna ment on March 12-14. If the tournament were played today, A&M's sixth seed would be paired against Houston's third. Houston has beaten A&M sound ly in both games this year, 81-69 at home and 78-51 at Hofheinz Pa vision. A&M, at 9-15 overall, 4-8 in conference, and Tech at 14-10, 5-7 in conference, will be jockeying with Baylor and Texas in the final games to grab fourth place for the tournament. However, with two timely plays against conference co-lead ers Soutern Methodist and Rice, A&M would already be in a fourth place tie with Baylor. At G. Rollie White, Rice de feated A&M 66-65 on a last sec ond shot and SMU won their con test in overtime on their home court 68-65 after the Mustangs' Mike Wilson forced the extra peri od by hitting a lay-up to tie the game with two seconds left in regulation. nvfiei^ Two Hours of Great Comedy Just For You!
