Aggies to face ’Horns at ho
BY AL LAZARUS

GUY ROGERS/Thk Battalion
A&M guard Clifton Cook and the Aggies
will continue their rivalry against the Uni
versity of Texas Saturday at Reed Arena.
After a 71-59 road loss Feb. 3 to
the University of Texas, one num
ber stood out to the Texas A&M
Men’s Basketball Team — 30.
Thirty Aggie turnovers led to
30 Longhorn points, providing
the difference in a game that saw
A&M outshoot Texas 44 percent
to 38 percent and trail the Long
horns by only five points with
4:52 remaining.
Heading into Saturday’s re
match with the Big 12-leading
Longhorns at Reed Arena , the Ag
gies have the comfort of knowing
that despite turning the ball over
30 times and receiving no points
from leading scorer Shanne Jones
they stayed close to Texas until the
game’s final minutes.
Combining to hold Jones
scoreless for the first time in his
career as an Aggie was the Long
horns’ frontcourt trio of forwards
Gabe Muoneke and Kris Clack
and 7-foot center Chris Mihm.
UT’s big men also got it done
offensively against the Aggies,
combining to score 42 points, in
cluding 19 from Muoneke.
“That frontline they’ve got
surely everyone agrees is the best
in the conference,’’ A&M coach
Melvin Watkins said.
Texas coach Rick Barnes goes
one step further, ranking his
frontcourt among the nation’s
elite.
“When they’re playing good
basketball, they can match up
with any front-line in the coun
try,” Barnes said.
Watkins said Jones has to be
more effective for the Aggies to
have a chance Saturday.
"We need Shanne to give his
best effort,’’ he said. “Inside, I’m
sure he'll haveal

There are rivalries, and then there is Texas
A&M versus the University of Texas.
The two adversaries will meet again Saturday
when the Longhorns host the Texas A&M
Women’s Basketball Team in a Big 12 matchup.
A&M coach Peggie Gillom said the Longhorns
(14-9, 8-5 Big 12) have stepped up their game re
cently but added that her Aggies would give their
best effort.
“Texas is playing very well right now,” Gillom
said. “I think it will be a competitive game if we
come out and play. We can hang with anyone
when we really play. ”
In their first meeting this season A&M (7-16,
2-11 Big 12) trailed for most of the game but
fought back to take a second-half lead before
falling, 78-74. Gillom said the decisive factor in
that game was the difference on the boards.
“We matched up with them, but athletically,
they just went over our backs and outrebounded
us,” Gillom said. “We’re going to have to do a bet
ter job of boxing out.”
Even though this will be only the second game
against Texas for Gillom, she said she understands
the animosity between UT and the Aggies.
“This is a big rivalry, and for us to go down
there and upset Texas would be big,” she said.
The Aggies will look to capitalize on the skills
of the Big 12’s top rehounder, forward Prissy
Sharpe (9.5 rebounds a game), to recover from
a 62-54 loss to the University of Nebraska
Wednesday.
Sharpe also leads the Aggie attack with 18.7
points per game and posted the 31st double-dou
ble of her career against the Huskers with 13
points and 12 rebounds.
Nebraska’s defense on Sharpe freed up Kera
Alexander, who led the team with 22 points.
Alexander leads the conference in a category
of her own, shooting 59.4 percent from the field
in conference games.
After the loss to Nebraska, Gillom said her
team needs to come out and make the game com
petitive in the early going.
“We want to come out with a little more ag
gressiveness,” Gillom said. “We need to come out
and put it in another gear.”
Texas shook off a poor first half performance
to beat Missouri 64-59 in the Longhorns’ last out
