Red-hot sophomore Calvin Davis leads
A&M to a 61-54 win over Illinois-Chicago
By Matt Mitchell
The Battalion
Sophomore forward Calvin Davis must have
looked at the Illinois-Chicago game on the Texas
A&M Men’s Basketball Team’s schedule and
smiled. Illinois’ mascot may be the Flames, but it
was Davis who was on fire Sunday.
Saddled with foul trouble and injury woes
in both of the Aggies’ season-opening victo
ries, Davis matched or set career highs in
points (22), rebounds (14), and blocked shots
(6) to carry the Aggies to a 61-54 victory over
Illinois-Chicago before 2,025 turkey-stuffed
fans at G. Rollie White Coliseum.
“This was a good game for me,” Davis said.
“I was slumping in the last two games, but I’m
glad my teammates had the confidence to
give me the ball.”
The Aggies fed Davis the ball numerous times
in the second half with the game still in doubt,
and Davis responded by scoring five points in
the final 1:23, including three free throws and a
sensational follow dunk on a Steve Houston miss
to seal the win for the Aggies.
“I thought that Calvin Davis stepped up to
the table today,” A&M Head Coach Tony
Barone said. “He had a good game focus and
really rebounded well.”
Davis’ play was one of the few bright spots of
fensively for the Aggies, who struggled to get into
any kind of offensive rhythm the entire night.
A&M shot just 30 percent from the floor and had
only one other player in double figures in scor
ing, sophomore forward Shanne Jones with 11.
But as bad as the Aggies were offensively,
the Flames were worse. Illinois was unable to
capitalize on foul-prone A&M, making just 12-
of-29 shots from the line.
Despite their problems putting the ball
through the hoop, A&M maintained a lead for
the majority of the game with its tenacious
defense. The Aggies contained Illinois’ high-
scoring guard Mark Miller in the second half
after allowing him 17 points in the first. Miller
shot just l-for-8 after halftime and scored a
quiet three points.
After forging a tie at 41 with just over 10
minutes left in the game, the Flames’managed
only two points in the next six minutes as the
Aggies clamped down on defense.
However, the Aggies were able to muster
just a few free throws and jumpers by Davis
and Jones over the same span, keeping the
game very, much in doubt.
With the score 49-44, the Aggies steadily
pulled away behind steady free throw
shooting and rebounding, as well as a large
helping of Davis.
"I thought our kids played really good de
fense today,” Barone said. "We had good shot
contesting, and the steals, blocks and re
bounds were there. The things we needed to
win the game, we did.”

McNair, George help Oilers down Jets, 35-1
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
(AP) — All that is wrong with
this dismal season for the New
York Jets came together Sunday,
and the Houston Oilers were
the beneficiaries.
The Oilers (7-6) stayed in con
tention for a playoff berth with a
35-10 victory in the rain and wind
and before 55,985 empty seats —
a Jets record.
Of course, the Oilers are used
to such small crowds as the
21,731 who braved the awful
weather — they’ve had three
home games with fewer than
28,000 fans after announcing
they’re leaving Houston for Ten
nessee for the 1998 season.
Rookie star Eddie George car
ried 28 times for 141 yards and
two touchdowns, and Steve Mc
Nair operated the Houston of
fense like a veteran. The second-
year quarterback didn’t let the el
ements bother him in guiding a
conservative attack.
“This is definitely a confi
dence-booster,” said George, the
1995 Heisman Trophy winner. “I
thought I played a solid ballgame.
“We needed this win to get our
momentum back and our confi
dence back. We do unde™
this is the Jets, and we contiw^ AN 1 O
