T he Texas A&M men’s basket
ball team continued on the
right track last week, splitting a
pair of home games.
The Aggies (9-16,2-10 in Big 12)
held off the University of Texas-Pan
American Broncs, 81-78, on Valen
tine’s Day. A&M had its three-game
winning streak snapped Saturday
when the Missouri Tigers held off a
late charge by A&M to defeat the
Aggies, 97-90.
The Aggies stay in Big 12 play
this week as they host the Oklahoma
State Cowboys at 8:30 p.m. on
Wednesday in a game televised by
Fox Sports Southwest.
A&M finishes up its home sched
ule Saturday against the Texas Tech
Red Raiders at 5 p.m.
of 132 free throws were shot in the
two games.
“It does take away from the con
centration of our team,” said A&M
men’s basketball coach Melvin
Watkins. “But if we foul, they should
call them. Once again, I think with
the new rules, there’s been inconsis
tencies going on through out college
basketball, not just our games.
“It’s hurt some kids, and in partic
ular, our young kids in trying to ad
just to what’s a foul and what’s not a
foul. It’s hard to tell them because I
understand what they're saying. You
bump sometimes, it’s OK. Other
times it’s a foul.”

The Aggies have discovered
their shooting touch in the month of
February.
A&M has shot over 45 percent in
its five games this month, including
50.8 percent against Missouri on Sat
urday, its best mark in Big 12 play.
The Aggies have averaged 47.4 per
cent in the five games this month.
It’s a big turnaround for the Ags,
who averaged only 35 percent from
the floor in the six games prior to the
month of February.
‘The difference is that one, we
have different options now with Nick
[Anderson] picking up his scoring,”
Watkins said. ‘That means that
Bernard [King] doesn’t have to force
it as much.
‘Two, I think we’ve reached a
comfort zone, and the kids are get
ting more confident and understand
ing what we consider good shots.”
