The Battalion
The holidays may be over, but it
emed as though it was Christmas
Homing for the Texas Longhorns last
ight at G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The Aggies failed to score on the
nal possession of the game, and
lexas used 10 free throws in overtime
finally overcome A&M 86-76 in a
iarn burner in front of a sellout
iwd of 7,578 screaming fans.
After being down 10 at halftime,
he Aggies clawed back to take their
irst lead of the
[ame 50-49, with
2:26 to go. A&M
lever built more
han a three-point
idvantage after
hat, as the lead
eesawed back and
orth before knot-
ing at 72 points
ipiece. After the
nsuing time out,
Texas traveled on
the inbounds play,
and A&M had time
for one last attempt
to win the game.
“We were trying to get an isolated
post up with me on the block, where
(freshman guard) Brian (Barone)
would have dribbled over,” sopho
more forward Calvin Davis said. “But
slipped and fell, and Brian had
nothing to do with the ball, and he
justthrewup a desperation shot, and
it didn’t fall for us.”
“I have no criti
cism of our kids.
I thought they
played as hard as
they could possi
bly play/’

Once in overtime, the Aggies
seemed to run out of gas, as Texas
capitalized on one improbable three-
pointer and made its free throws to
pull away for the win.
“ (Texas senior guard Al) Coleman
hit a ridiculous shot to start the over
time — it was an incredible shot he
made,” A&M Head Coach Tony
Barone said. “I think that shot in itself
probably broke our back more than
anything else. He was falling out of
bounds, right next to (Texas Head
Coach Tom) Penders.”
The Longhorns scored 36
points from the free
throw line on 36-of-48
(75 percent) shooting,
compared with just
15-of-24 for the Ag
gies. Besides the
point differential, sev
eral key Aggie players
were plagued by foul
trouble for much of
the game.
After freshman
guard Jerald Brown
fouled out with almost
10 minutes to go in the
half, the Aggies went
to a post up game to take some
pressure off the perimeter players.
“We had the guy at the bench sub
bing for Jerald when he got the fifth
foul,” Barone said. “Obviously, we
didn’t want him out of the game. He
had given us some threes and shot
the ball fairly consistently.”
Despite being at less than full
strength, A&M still had a shot to win
at the end of regulation. The Aggies’
inability to get off a good shot or
draw a foul hurt them in the long
run, though Davis said they were
still very much in contention head
ing into the overtime period.
"I think we were still confident,”
Davis said. “We thought we were
going to beat them in the regular
period, but when we went into the
overtime, we were in foul trouble,
but we still had guys who could
come in and play so we weren’t re
ally concerned.

Texas' free throw clinic helps
key victory over upstart A&M
By Chris Ferrell
The Battalion
On the same day that classes got
under way for the spring semester,
the 23rd-ranked University of Texas
Longhorns (9-4,3-1) taught the Texas
A&M Men’s Basketball Team (6-8, 0-
4) a valuable lesson — the art of free
throw shooting.
Texas was hot from the foul line
connecting on 75 percent (36-of-
48) of its free throws, outscoring
the Aggies by 21 points from the
stripe. The Longhorn’s free throw
exhibition included 10 of their 14
points in overtime.
Texas’ All-American senior
guard Reggie Freeman paced the
Longhorns by converting 15 of his
17 free throws on his way to a
game-high 30 points.
“They shot a lot of free throws,”
A&M Head Coach Tony Barone said.
“I don’t know if they were fouls or not.
They’re a good penetrating team.”
Every time the Aggies began to
make a run or seemed to be poised
to take over the game, Texas was
able to get to the foul line and re
establish themselves.
“Our effort was real good to put
them in that situation and then go
up,” said sophomore forward
Calvin Davis, who lead the Aggies
with 10 rebounds. “It hurt our team
a lot with all the little fouls that got
us in trouble.”
During a three-minute stretch
in the first half the Aggies fell vic
tim to a Longhorn 10-0 run, with
six of Texas’s points coming from
the line. The stretch ended an Ag
gie 7-2 run A&M had put together
following a timeout.

Lady Ags lose fifth straight, 100-63
Staff and Wire Reports
AUSTIN — The Texas A&M
Women’s Basketball Team (6-8, 0-4)
continued its skid when the 16th-
ranked Texas Longhorns defeated the
Aggies 100-63 Wednesday night.
A&M was led by senior Melissa
Rollerson and freshman Kerrie
Patterson, who both finished with
16 points.
Both A&M and Texas came
tearing out of the gates. Texas shot
10-of-13 from the floor and the
Aggies connected for 8-of-10.
However, the Longhorn’s pressure
defense wore down the Lady Ag
gies, creating turnovers and easy
baskets for Texas.
While the Lady Ags cut down
their turnovers from the Nebraska
game, 18 compared to 39, Texas col
lected 14 steals and 10 blocks.
Texas forward Amie Smith lead
all Longhorn scorers with 22
points and center Angela Jackson
had 20 points.
The Lady Aggies ended the
game 20-of-38 from the floor and
scored only 19 points in the sec
ond half.

PUBLIC NOTICE
CLASSROOM COMMUNICATION ENHANCEMENT
PROGRAM (CCER)
PURPOSE:
The Classroom Communication Enhancement Program is designed
as an integral part of efforts to continue to enhance Texas A8JV\ University’s tra
dition of excellence in undergraduate education. In any classroom setting oc
casional problems which impede communication between a professor and a
student may arise. The Classroom Communication Enhancement Program pro
vides an effective mechanism for solving such problems at the level where they
occur and by the individuals of responsibility. Moreover, the procedures are
designed to effect resolution in an expedient manner.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CCEP
A student who has a concern about classroom communication should
first discuss the concern with the instructor of the class. If, despite discussion
with the instructor, the issue is not resolved, the student then may bring the
matter to the attention of the department head of the instructor’s department.
At that point, a form (Classroom Communication Concerns Form) is complet
ed by the student. If the matter is so sensitive that discussion with the instruc
tor is impossible, the student may report the concern to the department head;
at that point the form mentioned will be filled out.
The Classroom Communication Enhancement Form describes later
steps in the procedure.
Types of Problems Not Covered By CCEP
