Barone said Wednesday’s first half was similar to the two teams’ first half in Houston. “(At halftime,) we talked about the similarities in the score and we told them we want ed to get off to a good start in the second half,” Barone said. .Shooting an ice-cold 31 per cent in the second half, A&M still managed to stay in the game. A Tracey Anderson three-pointer and a Davis bucket posted the Aggies to a 67-62 lead with just under eight minutes to go. Although the Aggies would pull to within 76-75 with 18.1 seconds left, Jones’ slam dunk would snuff out their hopes for a miracle comeback. Houston shot a sizzling 61 percent from the field in the sec ond half and outrebounded A&M 41-22. Barone said the Aggies’ strat egy of running the break more took its toll in the second half. “We thought we could get the ball out a little bit and take ad vantage of some fast-break op portunities,” Barone said. “I don’t know if that helped us in the second half.” Cougars Continued from Page 7 never slipped out of offensive rhythm the rest of the way. Cold shooting did not help the Aggie cause ei ther. A&M shot a frigid 10 of 32 from the field in the second half for 31.3 percent compared to Hous ton’s 60.7 percent. But the most telling factor in the Aggies’ defeat was rebounding. Houston outrebounded A&M in the second, 24-9 and ended the game with a total of 41. On Houston’s offensive possessions, Cougar for wards Tim Moore and Galen Robinson outmuscled the Aggies under the boards the entire night for easy'second chance baskets. Moore finished the game with 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Robin son ended up with 16 points and seven rebounds. Barone was disappointed in his squad’s lack of re bounding and credited Houston’s aggressiveness for their dominance under the glass. “They just beat us up on the boards,” Barone said. “As a whole, they were very physical, and Robinson and Tim (Moore) dominated inside.” Wednesday night’s game was very similar to the first meeting of the two teams in Houston on Jan. 24.A&M’s repeat performance in College Station gave Quesada a case of deja vu after the game. “This is almost the same thing that happened to us in Houston,” Quesada. “We had a really good first half, and then I don’t think we came back men tally prepared in the second. They got too many of fensive boards, and that really hurt us.” The Barone Watch Barone Although he usually starts off every game im peccably dressed, A&M Head Basketball Coach Tony Barone has a pen chant for removing his coat and even his tie as the ac tions of the game play on his emotions. So, The Battalion Sports Desk is pleased to present a running look at Barone’s most recent, best and worst times for losing his jacket.

DALLAS (AP) — Larry Brown may not be the only defensive starter leaving the Dallas Cow boys for the Oakland Raiders. As soon as Thursday, he could be joined by Russell Maryland. The Cowboys had been hoping to keep Maryland, but the Raiders made him an offer Dal las couldn’t counter because it doesn’t have enough room under the salary cap. “Russell feels tremendous sadness to be leaving Dallas,” agent Leigh Steinberg told The Dallas Morning News. “This is a situation where the salary cap penalizes a good team and a good player unnecessarily. “If it were not for the cap, Russell Maryland would have been very content to spend his whole career playing for Dallas.” Last week, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones cleared enough space under the cap to re-sign Darren Woodson and make him the rich est safety in NFL history. There’s still more money left, but Dallas must sign several other key players, including all three start ing lineback ers. “I think it is probably not a good allocation of our resources to go after Rus sell at that price,” Jones said. NewSport reported Wednes day that Maryland’s signing with Oakland could be an nounced Thursday. On Tuesday, the Raiders gave Brown, the Su per Bowl MVP, a five-year, $12.5 million deal that includes a $3.5 million bonus. Brown’s deal was so lucrative that Jones didn’t even try keep ing the cornerback. He told Steinberg the same thing when informed late Tuesday of Mary land’s offer from Oakland. Steinberg did not immediate ly return a telephone call Wednesday evening from The Associated Press. Maryland has been a force on Dallas’ defensive line since the Cowboys made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 1991 draft. He counted $1.82 million against the cap last season. Chad Hennings is likely to start in Maryland’s place. The Cowboys have used Hen nings as a key part of their rota tion of lineman, and now will have to rely more on backups Hurvin McCormack and Darren Benson. No misprint: Heat beat 76ers, 66-57 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia 76ers tied a 41-year- old NBA record for fewest points in a game, managing just 57 Wednesday night in a 66-57 loss to the Miami Heat. The Milwaukee Hawks set the record Feb. 27, 1955 against the Boston Celtics in a game played at Providence. The combined total of 123 was the second-lowest in NBA history since the inception of the shot clock. The Hawks and Celtics managed a combined 119 points in their 1955 game. Philadelphia made just 1 of 19 3-pointers and hit 31.9 percent of its field goals. Derrick Alston made one free throw and missed his second with 41 seconds left. Take Kaplan and get a higher score...
