THE BATTALION
ursday, Febi
Ags fall to Bears at home, 81 -7:p a
BY JASON LINCOLN
The Battalion
On the back of the Texas A&M men’s basketball
team’s jerseys are the stenciled words “Defense
Wins.’’ That philosophy held true on Wednesday night
when the Aggies faced off against Baylor. However,
it did not hold true the way A&M coach Melvin
Watkins intended.
The Aggies’ defense could not get in a rhythm for a
game which tjuickly turned into a perimeter shoot-out.
The Aggies’ poor transition play and relaxed pressure
on the Bear guards allowed Baylor to shoot its confer
ence high from the floor, 51 percent, to outscore the Ag
gies 81-75.
“We don’t like to lose any of them, but did we de
serve to win — no, we didn’t play well enough,’’
Watkins said. “We didn’t come out and play with any
enthusiasm. Give Baylor some credit for the win, but
we played some very uninspired basketball.’’
Baylor’s win marked its first conference win on the
road in 19 games, while A&M is now 0-3 since de
feating the 12th ranked Oklahoma State University on
Jan. 22.
“It is always good to get a road win,” BU coach
Dave Bliss said. “[Tevis] Stukes shot the ball well, and
we made our free throws down the stretch when it
counted. We made our open shots today.... It is just a
terrific win for us on the road in conference."
The Bears’ perimeter players established the game
early. Baylor was able to stretch out to several first-half
leads by dominating the outside. After 50-plus percent
shooting from the floor and a 6-11 performance outside
the arc, the BU players looked to control the court.
Where the Aggie guards may have had few answ ers
for Baylor in the first half, A&M’s big guys inside made
up for it on offense. After the Aggies fell to an early 8-
2 deficit, freshman center Andy Slocum took over.
In a matter of minutes, Slocum added new life to the
Aggies on both sides of the court. The 6-11 big man for
the Aggies had four defensive rebounds and followed
them up on offense, hitting three-of-four free throws
and closing it out with a 3-pointer.
The Aggies’ other big man, senior forward Aaron
Jack, was there for the rest of the early turnaround with
a lay up, a steal and a pair of rebounds.
After Jack and Slocum’s eight-point run, the Aggies
were ahead by a narrow two points.
Slocum would score two more points finishing
the night w ith 10 points and seven boards, both career
highs for the young center.
BU guards DeMarcus Minor and Tevis Stukes con
tinued to make A&M pay from outside, stretching Bay
lor back out to a 40-32 halftime lead. Stukes and Minor
combined for 26 points of the Bear offense.
“Every time you didn’t have a hand in his face, he
made us pay,” Watkins said of Stukes.
Watkins knew the Aggies would need to become
more aggressive outside the paint for the final twenty
minutes, if A&M hoped to fend off the Bears.
“We tried to get our perimeter to be a little more ag
gressive,” Watkins said. “I tried to tell them: If you get
a good shot, take a good shot, so we could get a little bit
of energy flowing.”
With the original starting line-up in the game, the
Aggies gave up seven straight points to be down by 15.
At one point, A&M missed the transition onto de
fense and allowed three BU players under the basket
for an uncontested two.
Watkins quickly called a timeout and made some
drastic changes to the Aggie line-up. The team that took
the court was comprised only of the Aggies’ perimeter
shooters — Carlton Brown, Jamaal Gilchrist, Andy
Leatherman, Tomas Ress and Larry Scott.
Scott quickly ended the Aggies’ second half drought
by hitting back-to-back threes. Ress and Leathennan
added one each as the Aggies hit four three-pointers
without a miss.

Freshman guard Bernard King returned to

The Aggie perimeter players hit 13 3-po

are. A&M also hit 12-of-14 from the free-throw li
In the next 10 minutes. Baylor would stretch the
out to 17, and A&M would close it back to 10.
Just outside the three-minute mark, the game w <
take a turn for the worse for the Aggies. Baylor center
John Flippen was on his way up for an uncontested
dunk after the Aggies missed the defensive transition.
However, a hustle play by Ress resulted in Flippen
rimming the easy jam. Ress drew his fifth foul, but Flip-
pen subsequently missed both free throws.
The play had the potential to turn the momentum
in favor of the Aggies. Yet, in a mistake characteris
tic of the Aggies’ defensive performance that night,
the Aggies did not box out BU forward Jamie
Kendrick, who got the rehound and converted it into
a pair of points.
A&M could not recover from the play. While A&M
scored 18 points in the final 3.5 minutes, Baylor hit 12-
