Aggies down Sooners to ear
first Big 12 victory of the yea
A&M puts up big numbers despite blackout at G. Re

By Michael Taglienti
Staff writer
And on the third day God said, “Let there be light."
And light shone throughout Aggieland. Then he said,
“Let there be a storm that throws out the power at half
time of the A&M-OU women’s basketball game." And
there was darkness at halftime of the basketball game.
Okay, so maybe it did not happen exactly that way.
but in one of the weirder basketball games in recent
memory, who would argue with you. In a game that
featured 65 fouls, 48 turnovers, and a 48-minute de
lay because of a power failure the Texas A&M
Women’s Basketball Team defeated the Oklahoma
Sooners 91-83 last night at G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The game was termed “bizarre” by A&M coach
Candi Harvey. Harvey is a veteran of games with
blackouts, having coached against current A&M as
sistant coach Shell Robinson’s TCU Horn Frogs two
years ago in a SWC game that included a blackout.
The team spent the 48-minute delay in the locker
room, stretching and trying to stay loose.
“I was moving around, because every time it gets
dark, I end up going to sleep,” juniorguard Kim Tark-
ington said.
Evidently, moving around helped Tarkington to
the best game of her Aggie career, scoring 22 points
to go along with four assists and two steals.
The win was the Aggies first in Big 12 play this year,
and ended a six game losing streak and a four game
conference losing streak. With the win, the Aggies
record improves to 5-10 with a 1 -4 mark in the Big 12.
Harvey said the win was a great relief.
“It felt like a large gorilla has been taken off our
back,” she said.
“It feels great to get back into the win column," Ag
gie forward Prissy Sharpe said. “We knew we could
beat this team, we just had to go out there and prove
it. This is something we can build off of as a team.”
The game featured an offensive explosion by the
Aggies, who came into the game shooting only 40
percent from the field. The Ags shot 47 percent from

The Aggies started the game with an 8-0 run to
take a lead they would never relinquish. OU pulled

half. The Aggies responded with a 12-2 run to end the
half and take a 42-31 lead into the break.

The
Rockets almost land StoudamV
NEW YORK (AP) — Damon Stoudamire was nearly
traded to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, but the
Toronto Raptors decided to reconsider offers that came
pouring in from other teams.
The Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks,
Vancouver Grizzlies, Portland Trail Blazers and Orlan
do Magic were in contention to acquire Stoudamire, ac
cording to several league sources who spoke to The As
sociated Press on condition of anonymity.
The proposals were much better than what Hous
ton was offering: Kevin Willis, Mario Elie and a third
player— either Brent Price, Matt Maloney or Emanuel
Davis — and a No. 1 draft choice in 1998 for
Stoudamire, Walt Williams and ZanTabak.
The Lakers’ offer was said to include Nick Van Exel
and Elden Campbell. The Knicks offered Chris Mills,
Chris Childs and-or Charlie Ward, along with the Rap
tors’ own lottery-protected pick in 1998. New York also
offered to pay most of the salaries for the players it
would send to Toronto.
The Grizzlies were offering rookie point guard An
tonio Daniels and the Trail Blazers were offering a pack
age including Kenny Anderson.
Nets general manager John Nash said New Jersey
had dropped out of contention in its bid to acquire
Stoudamire. He denied that Sam Cassell and a draft
pick had been offered, but acknowledged talking to the
Raptors about obtaining Marcus Camby.
The Trail Blazers’ chances were enhanced by the fact
that Stoudamire is from Portland — and team owner
Paul Allen is a billionaire who could afford to pay
Stoudamire’s highest asking price after he becomes a
free agent next summer.
It was not clear what Orlando was offering. An in
quiry by Golden State was rebuffed because^
would not want to re-sign with the Warriors ^
A possible deal between the Raptors ant g
was reported Wednesday by the Houston^
and Toronto Sun. ESPN reported tliattherfe
