Aggies return home to face Tec
By Matt Mitchell

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.”

“The thing I’m pleased about,
and of course we put ourselves in
these spots, is we came back,”
Head Coach Mark Johnson said.
“And we came back the first
game. 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.”

The Texas A&M Soccer Team an
nounced the signing of one of the
most talented women’s recruiting
classes in the nation.
The Aggies signed one All-
American, five southern United
States regional team players, two of
Texas’ top high school goal scorers
and the defensive standout of the
U-16 National Champions.
The Aggies lost nine players on
their 1996 squad to graduation, but
A&M Head Coach G. Guerrieri said
this class will fill that void.
“We are excited about this
group of young ladies,” Guerrieri
said. “I expect all of these players to
step in and make an immediate
impact next season.”

Highland Park High School.
