Men’s basketball team eludes setting conference losi
streak record, wins final basketball game in G. RollieWti
By Jeff Schmidt
Staff writer
Some things never change. G. Rollie White Coliseum
may have faded into Texas A&M basketball history Satur
day, but A&M’s home dominance over Baylor continued.
This time the Aggies defeated the Bears 80-75 for the Ag
gies’first Big 12 Conference victory of the season. A&M has
only lost to Baylor twice at G. Rollie in the Tony Barone era.
A&M will turn right around and play Baylor again on Thurs
day in the first round of the Big 12 Conference tournament.
Ironically, on senior day, it was freshman Michael
Schmidt who proved that Schmidt really does happen.
Schmidt scored 26 points and hit five three-pointers,
including one with 1:34 left in the game that broke
Baylor’s back and gave the Aggies a seven-point ad
vantage. The Bears would get no closer than the final
margin of five as the Aggies hit five free throws down
the stretch to clinch the victory.
Sophomore guard Steve Houston, who also made
some big plays down the stretch, scored 16 points and
handed out eight assists. Before fouling out, junior for
ward Shanne Jones continued his brilliant play, scoring
20 points, despite battling bigger players like Gabe
Ramirez and Brian Skinner.
Freshman forward Aaron Jack, battling the flu, and
senior center Larry Thompson played excellent defense
on Skinner all game long, limiting Skinner to only 10
points, eight below his average. Still, the Aggies could not
stop Baylor guard Roddrick Miller. Miller hit five three-
pointers in the first half and scored 20 points. However,
A&M managed to hold Miller to only nine points in the
second half. Miller finished the game with eight three-
point baskets, the most in G. Rollie history and the most
against an A&M team. The former record was held by
several others, including Latrell Sprewell, who hit seven
in 1992 while playing at the University of Alabama.
“The win isn’t a big deal,” Coach Tony Barone said.
“The attitude and effort (of the players) — that’s bigger
than the stupid win.”
Schmidt may disagree with that statement.
“I’m feeling so good right now,” Schmidt said. "We
wanted to get a win for Larry Thompson and Coach.
This is what should have happened all year long.”
Thompson said he felt the team rallied behind
Barone, who was coaching his last game for the Aggies.
“We just went out to try to do everything we could

It was Thompson and Jack’s defense that

But do not mourn for G. Rollie. It
is not going anywhere. G. Rollie will
now be the exclusive home to A&M
Volleyball. The volleyball team will
change locker rooms and take over
what used to be the men’s basket
ball locker room. There has also
been talk of another renovation, but
no definite plans have been set.
The $36 million Reed Arena will
officially open April 21 for Muster.
The 12,500 seat arena will also host
graduation ceremonies on May
15th and 16th. Reed Arena was sup
