The light at the end of the tunnel shines
brighter for the Texas A&M Volleyball Team as
it prepares for its last two matches of the reg
ular season. The Lady Aggies face the Univer
sity of Colorado at 7 p.m. Friday and the Uni
versity of Nebraska at 7 p.m. Saturday. Both
games will be held at G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
Hoping to gain momen
tum for the NCAA playoffs,
which begin Dec. 6, the Lady
Aggies are focusing on get
ting two victories to ensure a
higher seat for the first round
of competition.
“We’re not overlooking
these games,” Head Coach
Laurie Corbelli said. “But the
excitement for the playoffs is
definitely there.” ■■■■■■■

"Nebraska is just a solid team',” senior
middle blocker Page White said. “They’re go

“Colorado has changed their offense and
is on a tear right now so we really have to be

Reeling Spurs shell-shocked BlcketStaff Steps do™
VANCOUVER, British Colum
bia (AP) — As the losses mount
for the San Antonio Spurs, David
Robinson can only sit on the
bench and watch.
“This is the worst,” he said af
ter watching the Spurs lose to
lowly Vancouver 96-91 Sunday
night. “I don’t think I’ve ever
been on a team 2-10.”
He’s not on this one, either.
And that’s the problem.
Robinson came on this two-
game road trip to the West hop
ing that he’d be able to begin
playing. But when he visited
specialists at the Kerlan-Jobe
Clinic in Los Angeles, they told
him to wait awhile longer, that
the lower back strain that has
kept him out all season needed a
little more time.
“This is the kind of thing you
really don’t want to rush back and
hurt it and have to be out even
longer,” Robinson said. “The team
is being extra cautious.”
Without Robinson — and
with the rest of the Spurs’ front
line (Charles Smith and Chuck
Person) — also out with injuries,
San Antonio has tumbled to un
accustomed depths.
“We’re so used to winning,” said
Vinny Del Negro. ‘‘We’ve been so
spoiled. This is my fifth year now
winning 50-plus, 60 games, whatev
er we win every year.”
DENVER (AP) — Bernie Bick-
erstaff resigned today as coach of
the Denver Nuggets, three days
after his team scored a franchise-
low 65 points in a loss to Portland.
He remained with the team as
president and was replaced as
coach by assistant Dick Motta.
Motta, the longtime NBA coach
who last season was with the Dal
las Mavericks, was to coach the
Nuggets tonight against Phoenix.
The resignation ended a tu
multuous tenure for Bickerstaff,
who had a 59-68 record in parts of
three seasons.
After Saturday’s 106-65 loss,
Denver was 4-9 this season, eight
games behind Houston in the
Midwest Division.
“I feel good about thisi
sion,” Bickerstaff said at an
conference.
The move marks the sed
