The Colorado Buffaloes entered Wednesday
night’s game against Texas A&M with a seven-
game road losing streak, while the Texas A&M
Men’s Basketball Team owned a six-game con
ference losing streak. Something had to give,
and Colorado found a way to send the Aggies
to a 68-67 defeat.
Texas A&M found itself leading by as many
as 20 points in the first half but was unable to
put the game away late in the game due to its
inability to hit free throws.
With the score 67-61, guard Jerald Brown
missed the front end of a one-and-one that
could have put the Aggies ahead by eight points
with 3:31 to go in the game. However, the poor
foul shooting that has plagued the Aggies all
year haunted them in the waning moments of
the game.
On the ensuing Colorado possession, three
offensive rebounds led to an eventual three-
pointer by CU forward Marlon Hughes that cut
A&M’s lead to 67-64. Two missed A&M shots
coupled with a made jumper by Colorado
made it a one-point game at 67-66. Colorado
never staked a claim to the lead the entire game
until Hughes drove the lane and nailed a diffi
cult leaning shot with six seconds left to play.
The game ended when a missed jumper by
A&M guard Steve Houston fell short as time ex
pired, leaving A&M with its seventh conference
loss of the season. Texas A&M Coach Tony
Barone said that despite the hard play by A&M,
Colorado earned the win.
“We had chances to end the game with a
free throw, but we missed it,” Barone said.
“They made good shots, and they deserved to
win. The kids are devastated right now. It’s a
very tough loss.”
A&M forward Aaron Jack fouled out of the
game with 4:13 left when he received a technical
foul for apparently arguing a call. When he left,
he was leading the Aggies in rebounds with nine.
Barone held players out of the post game press
conference but said the loss of Jack hampered
the team down the stretch.
“(Losing) Jack was a loss for us because he
was doing a good job on the glass,” Barone said.
“The technical foul was really a quick whistle. 1
thought you should warn the kid.”
Shanne Jones led the Aggies in scoring with
24 points and added nine rebounds. Chris Clay
ton had 10 points on 2-of-3 three-point shoot
ing. Brian Barone dished out six assists to go
along with four steals. Texas A&M travels to Nor
man to face the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday.
