January 27. 2000 THE BATTALION Page 11 Ags lose close one to Cyclones BY JASON LINCOLN The Battalion After two late rallies to take the lead, the Texas A&M basketball team could not hang on to Iowa State University down the stretch. Cyclone guard Kantrail Horton hit a three-pointer that launched the Cyclones into a late 10-0 run to cap otTa 65-58 win over the Aggies on Wednesday. The win marks the 15th straight home win by Iowa State (17-3; 5-1). However, the Cyclones were forced to try new tac tics for the win as the Aggies took away their inside game early. A&M (6-11; 2-4) could not maintain their advantage after a number of costly fouls, falling in the final minutes. “We're pleased with our efforts,” A&M men’s basketball coach Melvin Watkins said. “We had a good bal anced attack from everybody. Iowa State is a very good team and I'm proud that my kids competed well.” Behind by 10 points midway through the second half, the Aggies marched off to an 11-1 run finished by an Aaron Jack three-pointer to take a 52-51 lead with 4:20 remaining. After one more bucket by A&M, the Cyclones went on their own 10- point run, sealing the game. The Aggies’ inside defense was not without repercussions as A&M had 20 personal fouls compared to the “Iowa State is a good team and I'm proud that my kids competed well.” — Melvin Watkins A&M men's basketball coach Cyclones’ 12. Yet, it made the difter- ence on the boards as the Aggies won the rebound battle 34-25. Meanwhile, A&M only had eight opportunities at the line while the Cyclones hit 19 of 25 from the charity stripe to propel them into the win. “I thought this was a dull perfor mance,” 1SU men’s basketball coach Larry Eustachy said. “This is the most disappointed I’ve been with this team. “Texas A&M is a strong team. We got beat in every facet of the game except scoring and we got out- rebounded by nine.” The Aggies were ultimately hurt by ISU forward Marcus Fizer who is aver aging 20-plus points a game. After A&M’s zone defense held Fizer to three points in the first half, Fizer hit seven of eight free throws on his way to 15 points. The Cyclones’ five starters combined for 57 points. Leading A&M were freshmen guards Jamaal Gilchrist and Bernard King who had Hand 10 points respec tively. “We played a very good team tonight,” Gilchrist said. “We lost the game because of mental mistakes. We played with great intensity, but we had too many unforced errors. Every time we hit a key shot, it seemed like Iowa State would hit one of their own.” The game was also one of the few where the Aggies have not been hurt by the team’s lack of depth, playing 10 players to the Cyclones’ seven. This is the fifth straight conference game where the young Aggies have bat tled against teams with depth, experience and a better record than the young A&M. The Aggies have completed two of those contests with wins over Texas Tech University and Oklahoma State University.

One of them is the turnovers. The Aggies turned the ball over 18 times giving Oklahoma 17 points as a direct result. The Aggies’ next chance for a Big 12 win will come this Saturday at 2 p.m. in Reed Arena when they take on Texas Tech University. Cinderella Continued from Page 9 over 16,()()() yards in college), he has put his ego to the side to help his team win games. Rather than airing the ball out as he did in college, he has been running (91 yards against the Jaguars) and handing the ball off. So which Cinderella will be the belle of the ball? I’m picking the Rams, and here is why: defense. The Titans do not have the iiery defense that Tampa Bay used to contain Warner’s passing game. Without free safety Marcus Robinson, who broke his leg against Jacksonville, the Rams’ passing game will be active. If the Rams take the lead early, Mc Nair will not be able to throw his way to victory without star receiver Yancey Thigpen at full strength. Although Thigpen said that it would take a "miracle” to keep him from play ing in the Super Bowl, he sustained a fracture in his foot that kept him out of most of the game against Jacksonville. In all likelihood, he won’t be at 100 percent come Sunday. The Rams defense, which until the Jacksonville game had gone largely un noticed, will shine against the Tennessee running game if the front four, led by for mer Nebraska defensive end Grant Wistrom, plays with the intensity they have all season. Sunday, at Super Bowl XXXIV, we will see which Cinderella the clock strikes midnight for. Rich Bray is a sophomore journalism major. Doctors meet to discuss Spurs’ Elliott SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Sean Elliott moved closer to returning to the NBA on Wednesday as his doctors met with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich about the player’s recovery from a kid ney transplant. “We expressed everything we were concerned about as far as what this really means to compete at this level. The doctors are very aware of our con cerns,” Popovich said. Elliott’s kidney specialists will keep meeting with Spurs doctors and coach es to work toward Elliott’s medical clearance for contact practices, possi bly by Tuesday or the following day. “Then it becomes a basketball deci sion over the next weeks or months, whether he gets into games or not,” Popovich said. “Once he gets back on the court, it’s not going to be three practices and play.” The 31-year-old forward has been doing light workouts and conditioning training for weeks but has not taken part in a full practice. While sidelined, he has been a commentator for Spurs television broadcasts.
