Joe Wilbert:
criminal or
only a victim
T e x a s ~
now
has its
next candi
date for
Death Row
and his
name is Joe
Wilbert.
What has
Wilbert
done to de
serve this
severe
penalty, you
ask? Well,
all he did
was try to
protect his
coach and
teammates from a mob of
over-zealous Texas Tech fans
in Lubbock on Saturday.
The videotape is by now
famous. The Aggie men had
yet again come from behind
to grasp victory from the jaws
of defeat. They celebrated for
a few moments, perhaps
shouting a few, "In your
faces!" to the crowd.
And then the real excite
ment began. Several Tech
fans started to shout and
throw punches at head coach
Tony Barone and the First An
nual Out-of-the-Blue "Barone
Bash" began. The Aggies
tried to make it to the dress
ing room, but those pesky
Red Raiders were persistent.
They attacked coach Barone
and the rest of the players and
a huge brawl ensued.
Enter Wilbert's fist and exit
one Scott Patterson.
Wilbert threw a punch that
landed right on Patterson's

Lady Ags in rematch with UT
By Kristine Ramirez
The Battalion
The Texas A&M Lady Aggie
basketball team will travel to
Austin to duel with archrival Texas
tonight at the Frank Erwin Center
at 7:30 p.m in a rematch of the 75-
74 Aggie home win on January 11.
The Aggies are coining off of an
emotional over Texas Tech 67-64
Saturday. The Lady Aggies are 7-0
in the Southwest Conference and
15-3 in season play while the sec
ond-place Lady Longhorns are 14-5
for the season and 6-1 in the SWC.
The Lady Aggies are No. 25 in
the AP Top 25 Poll for the first time
in A&M history.
Head Coach Lynn Hickey said
facing Texas will be a tough task
especially in Austin.
"They will be out to knock us
out/' she said. "We have a history
of playing well there. You have to
be ten points better than them. It
will be okay once we get in the
flow of the game."
Hickey said the team needs to
control Texas' offensive transition,
dribble penetration and freshman
guard Danielle Viglione. They also
have to be patient on offense.
Viglione is averaging a confer
ence high 23.2 points per game.
Aggie sophomore guard Lisa
Branch said stopping her will be a
key part of the game plan.
"Outside shooter Viglione is a
big part of their offense and I think
we have to key in on her," Branch
said. "She's not afraid of putting it
up. We just have to make sure
she's not making it."
Sophomore center Kelly Cerny
said the team also has to stay fo
cused.
"We have to go in there with a
great amount intensity, know what
we have to do, get in there and pull
it out," Cemy said.
Branch said the win against
Tech was great but it's time to con
centrate on the rest of the season.
"We've enjoyed the win," she
said. "We haven't forgotten about
it, but it's over. It's time for anoth
er game."
Hickey said the team is ready
for the second half of the season.
"The second round will be
tougher because of the travel situa
tion," Hickey said. "You have to
win on the road"
The team needs to "take one
game at a time" and "take care of
each other."
"We put ourselves in the oppor
tunity to be in the hunt," Hickey
said. "We started off strong. They
believe in themselves now."

World's skaters say Harding
'does not belong' at Olympics
The Associated Press
LILLEHAMMER, Norway -
While American figure skaters
are choosing their words very
carefully about Tonya Harding,
others in the skating world are
calling for her Olympic ouster.
Ivan Rezek, coach of the
Czech pairs team of Radka Ko-
varikova and Rene Novotny,
doesn't think Harding belongs in
Lillehammer. His skaters, the
1992 world silver medalists,
agree.
"Her behavior does not go
along with the Olympic ideals,"
Rezek said Tuesday. "It's a time
for unity and peace.
"She does not belong here be
cause she is involved — at this
moment at least — for not com
ing forward and speaking the
truth about what she knew of her
husband's involvement."
Harding's presence would
make Kovarikova uncomfort
able.
"If I would have to stand next
to her, I would not feel good
about it," she said. "I certainly
would not want to be her room
mate or have the room near her.
She should stay home."
She might be forced to when
she faces a USOC hearing on
Tuesday. But for now Harding is
a member of the American team,
and her teammates have been in
undated by questions about her
and the Nancy Kerrigan attack.
