"Our jumpers will have an ex cellent chance to score very high in the conference meet and quali fy for the NCAA Outdoor Cham- pionships," Brown said. Kendrick Smith, who was fifth in the SWC indoor triple jump, Phillip Madkins, Eric Hopkins, and Reggie Tennyson round out the list of jumpers. The iron men of the team, the decathletes, participate in ten track and field events trying to get the best combined score in all the events. Heath Brewer, Ryan The riault, Travis Maher and Richard Harrison will lead the group that will rank among the conference's best. Other A&M field events are also expecting quality results from their members. •Ty Sevin, last year's second place conference finisher and NCAA qualifier in the javelin, will use his international experience that he gained as a member of the U.S. Developmental Team to take him to the top of the conference. •led Reynolds and Larry Tay lor will take up the load left to them by the departure of Scott Paulson and Aaron Echternacht and give the Aggies muscle in the weight events (the shot put and discus). •Mark Mullins, who took fifth in the pole vault at the indoor meet, expects to soar higher at the SWC outdoors. •Will Hickman, Yasin Ishaq and Jermaine Gist will look to make their mark by trying leap into the conference's top six in the high jump. Despite the loss of key mem bers, Kiley Anglin, Gerry Wood- berry and Tracy Bryant, the Aggie sprint crew hopes to keep the suc cess of prior years in the sprints Tim Moog/ Tnr.

When good teams come to town, people will show up. A&M proved this when a near-capacity crowd came to see UNLV. The new conference alignment will almost certainly help recruit ing as well. Now, instead of try ing to sell an 18-year-old the bene fits of playing before thousands of .empty seats in the SWC, this same kid can be told that he'll get to play the likes of Kansas, Okla homa and Missouri in sold-out arenas with millions watching on national television. Granted, A&M will take its lumps for a time, but that's the only way to find out where you stand. The one sport in which the Texas schools bring a lot to the table is baseball. Three of the four SWC defectors made the NCAA field, with Texas and Texas A&M going to the College World Series. Combined with the existing Big Eight, the new conference would have accounted for half of the eight teams at the CWS. Okla homa State and Kansas are the flagship teams, but the rest of the conference is mediocre. The Big Eight needed a boost in baseball and that's precisely what they got. All things considered, this marriage seems to benefit all par ties. The athletically competitive Texas schools got their fondest wish and bolted from the mori bund SWC. The Big Eight was looking to expand and found four eager suitors. So, all that's left is to name this new conference (Big 12? Tor nadoes 'R' Us?) and to find a commissioner, maybe someone in the mold of Jackie Sherrill or Barry Switzer (just kidding). 1996 marks a new beginning in A&M athletics and we can only hope that the rampant lawless ness seen in both conferences gets left in the history books. Coaches Continued from Page 5 in the college game. From a bas ketball perspective. I’m not sure it's going to help. But from an athletic department perspective, it had to help because of the football television dollars out there. I did want us to be proactive." "Personally, I think it's really a good move," said Tubbs of Okla homa, adding that it's "a nice change" to be located in the geo graphic middle of his conference. "It adds to the excitement," Tubbs said. "There's a lot of good positives out there." Tubbs figures bis Texas re cruiting will be enhanced, a point upon which he and Williams are sharply divided. "It doubles our conference population," Tubbs said. "That means more players in your con ference area, and more players will want to play in this league than just wanted to play in the Big Eight. We'll benefit greatly." 61 -49. Over the next nine and a minutes, Baylor went on a 21-) run to tie the game at 70 at 3:19 mark. During that time Aggies shot an anemic 25 percenl from the field, converting on jui 3-12 shots. Going into the final minuted regulation play, the Aggies 75-73. However, they could nol put it away as junior forward]# Williert missed two free-throws that could have given A&Mi four-point lead at 77-73 witMi seconds to go. Instead, Baylor tied the gam at 75 on a jumper by Lambetl with 33 seconds remaining. "t thought we lost ourcompo sure a little bit in terms of shot se lection," Barone said. ''Wefell apart at the foul line whenwr thought we had a chance to win the game." The Aggies played for tin game's final shot but were unable to win it as senior point-guard David Edwards missed a jumpei with five ticks left on the clock. Baylor guard Nelson Haggerty said he was proud that histeai was able to battle back and fora the overtime. "We showed a lot of heart,' Haggerty said. "We played hard on defense and contained and contested every shot they put up." After A&M sophomore for ward Lance Broderson put the Aggies up 77-75 to start the first overtime, Wilbert missed two more free throws that could have given A&M an early four-point advantage. Two made free-throws by A&M junior forward Tony McGinnis did give A&M a four- point lead at the 2:46 mark before Baylor finally got on the boarda minute later with a dunk liy Lam hurt to cut the lead to two. In that span, Wilbert joined Murry onthe bench as the second of four Ag gies to foul-out of the game. After missing a three-pointer down the stretch, Edwards con verted on only one of two free throws with 22 seconds left, to give the Aggies an 80-77 lead. Haggerty connected on a three-pointer six seconds later to tie it at 80 and force the second and decisive owertime. o, A&M came* out flat to begin the final stanza of play, allowing Baylor to build an 86-80 lead be fore Edwards was able to convert two free-throws and cut the Bay lor lead to four. I lowever, the Bears proved to be too much down the stretch as the Aggies were unable to come out victorious for the second time in 48 hours. Barone said his team hopes to end their skid Saturday at home against TexasTech in order to build momentum for the SWC tournament next week in Dallas. "We've got to take a different approach now," Barone said. "It (the loss) is tough for the kids, tough for me, tough for the pro gram but we'll Ixmnce back."
