Cyclones keep Ags
winless in Big 12 play
with 72-53 victory
By Doug Puentes
The Battalion
The Texas A&M men’s basketbal 1 team and the
17th-ranked Iowa State Cyclones had the unenvi
able task of having to play a basketball game on
Super Bowl Sunday.
Unfortunately for the Aggies, someone forgot
to tell them to show up.
A&M played uninspired basketball and saw
its losing streak climb to seven games as Iowa
State defeated the Aggies, 72-53, Sunday at Reed
Arena.
A&M (6-13,0-7 in Big 12) came into the game
with some hope after staying with Oklahoma State
for 37 minutes in a 76-64 loss to the Cowboys on
Wednesday.
But the Aggies came out flat on their face
against the Cyclones.
“We did not play,” said A&M head coach
Melvin Watkins. “We showed no emotion and
that's what’s disappointing. When we think we’re
getting close and doing some good things, we come
back home and totally not show up ready to play.
“I don’t know if we could have beaten Iowa
State, but I know we can play better.”
The Cyclones (17-3, 5-2) started out quick,
jumping out to a 6-0 lead behind six points from
center Martin Rancik. i
A&M managed to close the gap, making it ah
8-6 game on a layup by junior Andy Leatherman
with 16 minutes, 44 seconds left in the half.
Then, the Aggies could not find the basket.
A&M went scoreless for almost seven minutes
as the Cyclones went on a 10-0 run to increase their
lead to 16-6 with 10:21 in the first half.
Iowa State kept the pressure on as they contin
ued to use the combination of inside play and free-
throw shooting to take a 40-26 lead at halftime.
The Cyclones were efficient in the first half,
shooting 47.8 percent from the field and making
16-of-18 free-throw attempts.
Meanwhile, the Aggies could not find their
rhythm in the first half, shooting only 34.4percent

Aggie netters begin
season with victories
By Jason Lincoln
The Battalion
In just 30 hours, the Texas A&M
tennis team kicked off its 2000 sea
son in grand fashion.
The No. 5 Aggies dominated a
marathon weekend at the Varsity
Tennis Center on Friday and Satur
day, notching a 4-0 record in their
first home matches of 2001.
In wins over UT-Pan American,
Texas Wesleyan, Texas A&M-Cor-
pus Christi and Trinity, the Aggies
showed what is in store for the
spring season as they look down the
road to defending their Big 12 title.
“I thought all in all, the weekend
was a test on us both mentally and
physically to play 4 matches in less
than 36 hours,” said A&M coach
Tim Cass said. “I knew it would test
us and give us a chance to see a lot
of our players play.”
The Aggies survived a scare from
the TAMU-CC Islanders, 4-2, after
defeating their first two opponents
without losing a set in 7-0 victories.
Then they capped it off with a 6-
0 win over the Division III Nation
al Champions, Trinity, without los
ing a single set.
The Aggies did not play doubles
on Saturday as weather threatened
to postpone the matches.
“We knew Corpus was a good
team coming in here,” Cass said. “A
lot of times in sports we often look
at the names of schools and we think
it should be associated with their lev
el. But Corpus in the fall beat SMU,
who was 15th in the country — the
average person doesn’t know that.
“They tested us today both men
tally and physically, and we need
ed that. You’re going to have tests
