SALLIE TURNER/The Battalion
IiM freshman guard Bernard King drives the baseline against
jxas Tech’s Ronald Hobbs, in Saturday’s loss at Reed Arena.
Men’s basketball falls to Tech, 76-64
BY AL LAZARUS
The Battalion
Texas Tech may have finally found
a strategy for winning conference
games.
For the Red Raiders, less is more.
Forced to use just five players for
most of the second half, Tech withstood
a late Texas A&M rally and a boister
ous crowd of 5,439 to defeat the Ag
gies, 76-64, Saturday afternoon at Reed
Arena.
“Tin very proud of the way our guys
played today,” said Tech coach James
Dickey. “Not just that we won, but the
way we did. We basically played the
second half with only five guys.”
The Red Raiders improve to ll-l2
on the season with a 2-10 conference
record. The Aggies fall to 7-16 and 3-9.
Tech's already-thin roster was pared
further 14 seconds into the second half
when senior forward Mario Layne, the
Red Raiders’ second-leading scorer,
took an elbow to the lip from A&M
freshman center Andy Slocum. Layne,
who had 10 points at the time, left the
game for good and would later receive
12 stitches.
Fortunately for the Red Raiders,
someone was there to fill the void.
Freshman swingman Ronald Hobbs,
who saw only three minutes of playing
time against the Aggies in the two
teams’ first matchup on Jan. 15, led
Tech with 22 points.
Hobbs was averaging just 2.7 points
prior to the contest.
“We played A&M early in the con
ference season, and he wasn't quite as
ready as he is now,” Dickey said of
Hobbs. “The difference is we are much
further into the conference season.”
Leading 42-27 at halftime, the Red
Raiders stretched their lead to as much
as 19 in the second half before the Ag
gies mounted a run. Freshman guard
Bernard King, who led A&M with 21
points, nailed three 3-pointers in a little
over two minutes to cut Tech’s lead to
51-39 with 13:18 remaining.
The Aggies continued to whittle
away until a 3-pointer from freshman
forward Larry Scott cut the A&M
deficit to 68-63 with a minute remain
ing. The Red Raiders responded,
though, and hit 6-of-8 free throws in the
final minute.
“1 thought we could pull it out at the
end,” King said. “We had some good
looks, but it just wasn’t meant to be.”
The Red Raiders led at halftime af
ter shooting 51.5 percent from the field
compared to the Aggies’ 37.9 percent
clip. After starting the game playing
man-to-man and trading baskets with
the Aggies, Tech switched to a zone
and promptly began to pull ahead.
“I thought switching to zone would
help us shade King, and also conserve
some energy,” Dickey said.
The strategy worked on both parts.
King was held to l-of-8 shooting and
two points in the first stanza. The Red
Raiders, meanwhile, had enough left to
fend off A&M’s late comeback attempt.
“Their zone defense caused us a lot
of problems,” A&M coach Melvin
Watkins said. “I thought we came out
ready to play, but the zone got us. We
were not making good decisions.
“We have got to get better at the
things we don't do well.”

Ags sweep Aggie Invitational I
BY BREE HOLZ
The Battalion
The Texas A&M Softball Team bounced back from a
four-game skid with six straight wins and a tournament
championship at the Aggie Invitational 1 this weekend at
the Aggie Softball Complex.
The Aggies (8-4) began the tournament Friday night
with a shutout against Colorado State University, 6-0.
A&M scored two runs in the third inning and four in the
fourth to give junior pitcher Amy Vining her third win of
the season.
Immediately following their first win of the tournament,
the Aggies took on New Mexico State University. With the
Aggies leading 4-0 in the top of the fifth inning, NMSU
came out swinging and scored three runs on three hits. The
Aggies put one more run on the board in the bottom of the
fifth when senior center fielder Angie Shetler singled up the
middle to score junior right fielder Tiffany Esters. NMSU
struck again in the top of the sixth, scoring two more runs
and tying the score, 5-5.
The Aggies were held scoreless in the bottom of the
sixth inning, but in the bottom of the seventh, senior short
stop Jamie Smith scored from third base after freshman
third baseman Jennifer Davis was thrown out at first.
A&M started the second day of competition with anoth
er shutout against the Centenary Ladies, 9-0. Freshman
pitcher Kara Weikel posted her first win of the season, giv
ing up four hits. The Aggies scored five runs in the first in
ning, three in the second, and one in the fourth, giving
A&M its third win of the tournament. '
The Aggies started the second round of play with a dra
matic come-from-behind win against NMSU, 3-2.
A&M was held scoreless through six innings, while
NMSU scored once in the third and once in the fifth. In the
top of the seventh, with senior first baseman Angie Long on
first and junior left fielder Hollee Hayden on second,
sophomore second baseman Lisa Klam stepped up to the
plate and blasted a three-run home run over the center field
wall. NMSU could not manage any runs in the bottom of
the seventh, and the Aggies went on to win their fourth
game of the tournament.
“A lot of pitches had been a little outside, and [the um
pire] hadn’t been calling them,” Klam said. “I didn’t want
to go down looking, and 1 was hoping my pitch would be
there. It felt really good coming off the bat.”
A&M coach Jo Evans said she was happy that someone
finally found their rhythm.
“We had our opportunities, but we couldn’t get the time
ly hit,” she said. “We had some hits early, and had our
chances, and I felt someone would set up at some point.”
On Sunday, A&M proved unstoppable with its fifth win
A&M sophomore pitcher Grant J
Gregg pitched well for the Aggies in i
the loss. Gregg (1-2) also pitched a ,
complete game, giving up four runs j
on 11 hits with eight strikeouts.
After the win, Diggins said that ]
playing at Olsen Field was one of his ‘
best experiences in college baseball. ’
“This is the most incredible place
I’ve ever been as far as far as baseball >
and tradition and everything,” Dig- j
gins said. “Makes you wish you [
would have gotten some recruiting i
letters from here. I just wish Arizona |
had a tradition like this. This is in- i
credible.
“The atmosphere and fans make [
this the most incredible thing I’ve i
seen as far as baseball. Hopefully at |
Arizona we can start a little tradition. •
The fan support here is off the wall.” t
The Aggies next take the field [
Tuesday as they travel to Huntsville >
to take on the Sam Houston State !

out and getting four runs today, it gets
more exciting in the dugout and gets
the enthusiasm up and we just hit the
whole game.”
Sepulveda, who finished the series
4-for-10 with a home run, four RBI
and four runs scored, added some
padding to the A&M lead in the fifth
inning when he sent a pitch from
Wildcat pitcher Tony Milo over the
left field wall for his third home run
of the year to give the Aggies a 7-0
advantage.
Sophomore pitcher Khalid Ballouli
picked up the win for the Aggies. Bal
louli (1-2) gave up one run on six hits
in 5 1/3 innings pitched.
Arizona pitcher Mike Crawford
took the loss for the Wildcats. Craw
ford (3-3) gave up five runs on five
hits in just two innings pitched.
Saturday’s game featured another
early start for A&M as the Aggies
scored four first-inning runs to cruise
to an 8-3 win over the Wildcats.
A&M freshman first baseman
Travis Wong led the Aggies, going 3-
for-5 in the game with 3 RBI, two of
which came on a double in the four-
run first inning.
A&M freshman pitcher Todd
Deininger got the win for the Aggies.
Deininger (2-1) gave up three runs on
six hits in eight strong innings of
work.
Wildcat pitcher Brian Pemble was
saddled with the loss for Arizona.
Pemble (3-1) gave up four runs on
five hits in just one inning.
Friday, the Wildcats used a big
fourth inning and the pitching of
sophomore Ben Diggins to take the
first game of the series, 4-1.
Diggins (3-0) kept the Aggies at
bay all day, throwing a complete
game, six-hitter. He struck out nine
while walking four.
