Don’t lot this opportunity pass you by? THn Aggies return home to face Tec By Matt Mitchell The Battalion ^ ! yr*3l o r*%\ HI. -y? ; The Texas A&M Men’s Basket ball Team is headed toward the only place they have won a con ference game this year — home. After a two-game road hip that took them to Oklahoma and Col orado, the Ag gies return to G. Rollie White Col iseum tonight to take on the Texas Tech Uni versity Red Raiders at 8 p.m. The Aggies are hoping to snap a three- game losing streak and col lect a breakout win that will end their month-long habit of los ing close games to conference opponents. The Aggies are looking to bounce back from two close losses to the University of Okla homa and University of Col orado. The Oklahoma game saw A&M lose in overtime after miss ing a chance to win in regulation. Against the Buffaloes, the Aggies led for much of the first half before running out of gas, partly because of the limited play of freshman guard Jerald “Every team has a couple of really good players, especially Tech.” Dario Quesada Junior center Brown, who was slowed by ill ness. Tech is coming off an 87-74 pounding of Nebraska Saturday in a performance that largely typified the Big 12’s season. The Red Raiders boast two of the conference’s best players and perhaps it’s premier inside-out side combination in the tandem of senior guard Cory Carr and junior center Tony Bat- tie. Carr scored 33 points against the Buskers while Battle hauled in 17 rebounds. Bat tle is averaging 20 points and 12 re bounds per game; Carr is scoring at a 23 point-per-game clip. “Every team has a couple of really good players, especially Tech,” senior center Dario Que sada said. “He (Battie) is a guy who I think, in the last three games, has not scored one sin gle basket that wasn’t a dunk. So they’re going to throw alley-oops and run special plays for him.” A&M Head Coach Tony Barone said he is equally im pressed with the duo. “I think Cory Carr is the toughest player in the league (Big 12) to guard,” Barone said. “He is a 40-minute guy — he plays 40 minutes and does not stop working to get open. He’s a physical specimen, and his toughness on the court is real ly amazing. “Battie is obviously a player. He presents problems for you because he’s quick — he runs the court and blocks shots, and they look for him in certain sit uations where they try to out match you with his size and quickness, so you have to be ready for it.” Aside from the obvious task of containing Battie and Carr, the key for the Aggies may bepressuringTech guard Stan Bonewitz, a gym rat who sets up his more celebrated teammates by making the en try pass as well as knocking down jumpers. “He is a blue-collar worker in that he doesn’t try to do any thing he can’t do,” Barone said. “He’s an outstanding long- range shooter and he’s very un derrated as a passer. “He’s a basketball junkie and consequently has a tremendous knowledge of the game — he plays very intelli gently. So any deficiencies he may have, I think he over comes with savvy.” Baseball I hose wh( serve.

We had a chance to win the ballgame. We haven’t died [in any game].” However, Johnson was not pleased with the rest of the team’s effort. “We’re not playing to our po tential right now,” Johnson said. “We seem to have the monkey on our back every game, where every game js in a pressure situation. “We need one of those games where we can get out to a 10-run lead and relax and get it going. We haven’t got over the hump, and that’s what we’re working on right now.” .last votes in fa A&M soccer signs seven for 199pffi ,,,, . . ,,, „ .... icausewebe The Aggie Class of 2001 Staff and Wire Report team in America this year.
