F riday
night
starts a
new era for the
National Bas
ketball Associ
ation. Life
without
Michael.
So now
Charles, Ha
keem, Patrick
and Shaquille
will all get
their chance to
win a world
championship.
But they'll
have to do it in
the most balanced league in years.
1. New York Knicks
Strengths: The Knicks are still the
number one defensive team and have
the ability to shut down any team in
the league.
Weakness: They're only reliable
scorers are Patrick Ewing and John
Starks.
Outlook: Now that Jordan is gone
New York automatically becomes the
favorite in the Eastern Conference.
they need is to stay healthy and
cut down on suspensions.
2. Houston Rockets
Strengths: Hakeem Olajuwon and
a quintet of three-point shooters.
Weakness: Nobody rebounds well
with the exception Olajuwon and
Otis Thorpe which really showed in
the playoffs last year.
Outlook: If the Rockets keep their
defensive intensity up the way they
did at the end of last season, they will
be the team to beat in the Western
Conference.
3. Seattle Supersonics
Strengths: Experience, depth and
athletic ability at every position.

Face-off against Texas
Volleyball team aims to burn touted Texas
By Nick Georgandis
The Battalion
It's pay-back time.
On September 15, riding a seven-match winning
streak, the Texas A&M volleyball team marched
into Austin to face arch-rival Texas. That night the
powerful Lady Longhorns unceremoniously
dumped the Lady Aggies in three straight games,
proving that the Aggies still had a lot of room
for improvement.
"That was our first conference > LADY AG 1
game and we really weren't prepared
for it, " A&M volleyball head coach
Laurie Corbelli said. "It was early in the
season, and maybe we were a little bit too
nervous, and they took advantage of that."
And now, eighteen matches later and wiser, the
Aggies are looking for revenge as they square off
against the nation's second-ranked Lady Long
horns at 7 p.m. tonight at G. Rollie White Colise
um.
With a victory, the Aggies will move into a tie
with the Longhorns for the Southwest Conference
lead, with only Houston left to play for the remain
der of the team's conference schedule. A&M can
finish no worse than second in the conference, thus
earning a bye in the first round of the SWC tourna
ment.
Since A&M and the second-ranked Long
horns last met, both have been red hot.
Overall, A&M is 16-2, Texas is 13-1, and
neither team has lost a conference
game since their first meeting.
For the seniors on the team, this will
be their last home game against Texas.
Senior outside hitter Genny Wood said she
thinks the contest will be a tremendous match-up.
"This is probably the most exciting (match) be-

The Battalion
A&M volleyball got
a new coach this year,
and a brand new atti
tude.
Head volleyball
coach Laurie Corbelli
has led a team that fin
ished 19-17 overall and
3-7 in Southwest Con
ference play last season
to a 23-4, 7-1 record, in
good position to grab
its first NCAA tourna
ment berth since 1986.
Corbelli said that
such major progress
has been built by mak
ing little steps and tak
ing advantage of a
team with a great heart.
"Although I knew
the team had talent, I
didn't know what the
team had inside, and
now I know," Corbelli
said. "What we've
tried to focus on is ball
control skills, a real
quick offense, a precise
defense and a new en
thusiasm to the team.
"Players have adapt
ed beautifully to every
opponent much better
than I expected."
Senior middle block
er Amy Kisling said
Corbelli delivered just
what the team needed.
"We needed a
change," Kisling said.
"We weren't playing
the type of volleyball
we could have played,
and she brought us up
a level."
