MINNEAPOLIS — Chris Smith re bounded his own miss and scored with five seconds left Tuesday night, giving Minnesota an 83-81 victory over Houston. The loss halted a five-game win ning streak by the Rockets, who lost for only the third time this season af ter taking a lead into the fourth quar ter. Stacey King scored 19 points, grabbed 1 3 rebounds and blocked a career-high seven shots for the Tim- berwolves. King, acquired from Minnesota in a trade for Luc Longley on Feb. 23, made two key blocks late in the fourth quarter as the Timberwolves won for just the fifth time in 2 7 games. He also helped contain Hous ton’s Hakeem Olajuwon, who shot only 10-for-27 from the field. After Doug West’s jumper gave Minnesota a 79-7 7 with 3:15 left.

We need that feeling. Little by little we were putting things together today.” Kevin Beime, Justin Atchley, Jason Chesson and Brian Parker combined to allow five runs off ten hits for the Aggies. None of the pitchers threw for more than three and 1 73 innings. Chesson earned his first victory of the season. Pollard (2-3) got the loss for the Crusaders. Atchley allowed a home run to Suarez in the fifth inning. Parker gave up a home run to Scott Hopgood in the last inning. Johnson said he thought Beirne had a good night on the mound, but could not say the same about the oth er pitchers. “To be honest,” he said, “I am a little disappointed with our pitch ing.” fastest runners in America were there and we were the last four standing up.” The relay title, the first since the Aggies’ 1989 outdoor title, marked the climax to an indoor season that began with disappointment and hard ship. Even before the season, the ques tion of who would come forward to fill the spots left behind by the lose of two members of the relay team from last year were answered early. Miller and Bolden were able to step up and fill the gaps making the champi onship even more special. "It adds a lot to the champi onship," Head Coach Ted Nelson. “We were wondering who would step up and fill the gaps we weren’t sure we could fill.” The season opened up in Reno, Nev. where Bolden had the baton knocked out of his hand in a racetk 11 figured to qualify the team fortiiT j NCAA meet. After provisionally qualifyingai| j the meet in Oklahoma City, tlieAgl gies appeared to have the automatk|| qualification at the Southwest Confer 1 ence indoors when McCray slipped, : costing the team precious secondil j and preventing an automatic qualify | : ing time. Vindication would come three® weeks later when the team traveled to | Gainesville, Fl. and took advantage of® a fast track with the long-desired an4 tomatic qualifying time. One weer j later, the team walked the walk to I bring home the title. "Those youngsters have big heart f • and worked hard to make it happen, j Nelson said. "The desire was really jj there and we’re very pleased to brinyi a national championship back lo|j Texas A&M." The team will start their bid for| the indoor/outdoor double champi onships when the Aggies travel to Arizona this weekend for the Arizona Shootout. c Special Gue’at/1 ^ hC C Julius- Seliw Thursday 7 Friday ft Art Show ©1 Au< stuffed wittmrari Doom - Vampire Tom tioi Auf-ograj^h, uni as £a ig ThE D^pr£ny^TAl 9:30 er 000 (thou n - G Actid & c llime. ndstof squai|b feet tume^Contesf - Anime toriel^^And Jfuch More!
