Aggies finish season against OSU
Women’s basketball team hopes to avoid losing season with win over Cowgirls
By Kevin Espenlaub
THE BATTALION
The Texas A&M women's basketball
team will look to avoid a losing record for
the season when the Oklahoma State
Cowgirls come to Reed Arena on
Wednesday at 7 p.m. for the final game of
the regular season.
The Aggies (13-14, 5-10 in Big 12)
fell under .500 for the first time this sea
son on Saturday after a lopsided defeat by
the No. 14 University of Texas
Longhorns. 91-63.
The offensive output of the Longhorns
was the most points they have scored in a
game this season.
“1 don't think our defense showed up,”
said A&M head coach Peggie Gillom.
“That’s not to take anything away from
them. They were playing hard from start
to finish in that game.”
The season already has been a record-
setter for the Aggies, and a victory against
Oklahoma State (14-14, 6-9) would give
the Aggies their first non-losing season
since 1996 when they finished with 20
wins.
The 13 wins this season already have
exceeded their win total in any of the past
five seasons, and the five conference vic
tories are the most in a season for the
Aggies since joining the Big 12 in 1997.
In the last matchup with Oklahoma
State, the Aggies accomplished their first
back-to-back conference wins in the Big 12.
The road victory against the Cowgirls
followed a streak of seven consecutive
games against nationally ranked teams for
the Aggies.
Junior forward Meg Banahan, the
Aggies leading scorer at I 1.9 points per
game, scored 23 points against OSU, but
the spark came from sophomore guard
Toccara Williams.
Williams led the Aggies with a near
triple-double performance recording 10-
points, 10 rebounds and nine steals.
Williams is currently leading the Big 12 in
steals and assists and is ranked fourth and
1 I th, respectively, in the nation.
“In that game, the girls played really
hard,” Gillom said. “We stuck to the
gameplan and were able to upset the
things that they were used to doing. It gave
the girls a lot of confidence, because they
knew that they could win on the road.”
The matchup will set up the Aggies'
seed for the Big 12 Tournament that begins
on March 5 in Kansas City, Mo. Their seed
could range anywhere between number
eight and 11 depending on the results of
the other Big 12 games Wednesday night.
The Aggies will look for their first
sweep of the Cowgirls, a team that owns a
15-5 all-time advantage over A&M, since
the 1997 season.
Wednesday will also be “Senior Night”
at Reed Arena as the team honors the final
home game for seniors LaToya Rose and
Celeria Washington.
Each has played for the Aggie team
for four years and will likely finish their
college careers at the conference tourna
ment next week barring an advancement
into a post-season tournament.

from beyond the 3-point line.
The Aggies had no answer for
the Colorado sharpshooters.
“We were not communicat
ing,” King said. “Coach told
us before we played them that
they had good shooters. We
had mental lapses and would
back off of them and they
would hit the three.”
While mental lapses are
common at the beginning of
the season, a team in its sec
ond to last game of the season
should not be worrying about
such things.
“It just didn't register,”
Watkins said. “The energy
level wasn’t high enough to
play tonight. I don’t- want to
say the guys have given in, but
losing has obviously taken a
toll on our mental approach to
game and it’s just difficult.
“The losing has worn on
them. So then, fatigue and all
those other things tend to be
more present than they should
be.”
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) —
Texas has been through the Big
12 tournament enough to know
what is at stake late in the reg
ular season: a first-round bye
that no tournament champion
has done without.
Brandon Mouton scored 25
points as the Longhorns coast
ed past Texas Tech 96-71
Tuesday night to pull into a
four-way tie for third place in
the league standings with
Tech. Oklahoma State and
Missouri.
The top four teams in the
league will earn a first-round
bye in the conference tourna
ment. No team has won the
tournament without one.
With just one game left in
the regular season, Texas owns
the tie-breaker over Tech with
two wins over the Red Raiders
this season. The Longhorns
grabbed a 74-71 overtime vic
tory in Lubbock back on Jan.
14.
The Longhorns have won 1 1
in a row over their ih-state
rivals and avoided a three-
game losing streak, what
would have been their longest
of the season, with the win.

After stretching the lead to
73-65, Colorado’s Michel
Morandais made one of two
free throws, but instead of the
Aggies capitalizing on the miss,
the Buffaloes got the rebound
and Wilson knocked down a 3-
pointer to make it a 77-65 lead
with 4:15 left, effectively end
ing the Aggies’ chances.
“The big part was the free
throws,” King said. “When they
kept getting the rebound off a
of urgency,” Mouton said. “We
have to play every game like
it's our last, a championship
game.”

tournament with 10-of-16
shooting from 3-point range
and a dominating 39-18
rebounding advantage. The 25-
point win was Texas’ largest in
league play this season.
Andy Ellis led Tech (20-7,
9-6) with 17 points. The Red
Raiders shot 53 percent for the
game but couldn’t compensate
for the Longhorns ability to
miss, it seemed like they would
hit a three or get back to the
free-throw line. Everytime we
tried to get over hump, they just
hit big shots.”
Free throws were the big dif
ference down the stretch as
Colorado hit 22-of-29 in the
second half, while the Aggies
managed only 7-of-l 1 from the
line.

grab seemingly every ball off
the rim.
“They just absolutely buried
us on the boards,” said Tech
coach Bob Knight. “The differ
ence was just so monumental.”
It was also a complete turn
around from Texas’ last game
at home, an 85-80 loss to
Oklahoma State last week in
which the Longhorns were out-
rebounded by 20.
“We knew we had to get to
the glass,” said Texas center
James Thomas, who scored 18
points and grabbed a game-
high eight boards. “Our main
objective was just to go down
and get physical.”
Texas was just as effective
shooting the ball, hitting 57
percent from the floor as
Sydmill Harris chipped in 14
points and Royal Ivey added
12.
Mouton hit 5-of-6 3 point
ers. Texas point guard T.J.
Ford, who leads the nation in
assists, dished out 10 more
against the Red Raiders.
Texas never trailed and led
45-32 on Thomas’ tip-in at the
buzzer to end the first half. The
Longhorns held a 26-7
rebounding edge by halftime
and never let up.
The Longhorns opened the
second with a 13-6 run with a
3-pointer by Mouton and took
its first 20-point lead at 63-43
on Harris’ 3 with 12:41 to play.
While his players are focus
ing on earning the bye in the
league tournament, Texas
coach Rick Barnes said he has
not even discussed it with
them.
“I guess it’s important. I
just told them it makes a differ
ence in being 10-6 instead of 8-
8,” Barnes said.
“It just looks a lot better.”
