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."

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.

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.
