SPORTS
THE BATTALION
Women
Continued from page 1 B
Toccara Williams had a career-
high nine steals as part of the
Aggies 4 22 steals that night and
will be playing her first game as
Big 12 all-time steals leader, a
title she earned last Saturday after
gaining her 419th steal during the
game versus University of
Oklahoma.
For the past two games, the
Aggies have instituted a press
defense, but it is still unclear if the
Aggies will continite it during the
game tonight.
The Aggies will be led by
Williams along with sophomore
forward Tamea Scales, who
gained a starting spot on the
squad after her performance ver
sus Texas in December.
Freshman guard Tiffany Jackson
and senior forward Stacy
Stephens will lead Texas.
“(Stephens) doesn’t take any
crap,” Blair said. "The nine-player
rotation (Texas) has is just tremen
dous. They just don’t miss a beat.”
Despite not starting, Jackson
was the high scorer for Texas last
time the two teams played with
15 points. She has since become
a starter.
A&M head coach Gary Blair
said he looks forward to the
opportunity to play such highly
ranked teams.
“This is why I am here (at
A&M),” Blair said. "I want to
play teams in the top 25.”
Blair said Texas has a good
chance at staying No. 1 and win
ning the National Championship.
The last time the Aggies played
a No. 1 team in women’s basket
ball was December of 1997 when
they lost to Tennessee 105-81.
However, he also said that the
Aggies have a chance against
Texas because of the rivalry that
exists between the two schools.
“It is not always decided by who has the
best team,” Blair said. “It is whoever plays
the best that particular day. Who can get their
team to rise above, whatever the talent level.”
There are still seats left on a charter bus
John C. Livas • THE BATTALION
Big 12 record-holder and Aggie guard Toccara Williams attempts a steal from OSU guard Deidra Johnson
going to the game. The bus, sponsored by
the Maroon Club, leaves Reed Arena at 4 p.m.
and returns after the game. Seats are $20 and
include a snack.
The Aggies have only one conference
win this year and are entering one of the
most difficult parts of their schedule. Their
next three opponents are all top ten teams;
No. 1 Texas on Wednesday, No. 7 Texas
Tech on Saturday in College Station and No.
9 Kansas State next Wednesday in College
Station.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Continued from page 1 B
elbow, it’s really tough.”
The difference between the
two teams is simple: Nebraska
wasn’t expected to win this sea
son while the Aggies were
poised for a breakout year with
Big 12 Freshman of the Year
Antoine Wright returning for
his sophomore campaign.
Wright has been a disappoint
ment thus far after being billed as
a potential NBA lottery pick by
NBADraft.net, averaging just
13.7 points and 4.3 rebounds per
game after averaging 14.5 points
and 6.6 rebounds during the
2002-03 campaign.
With the departure of guard
Bernard King after last season,
Watkins said Wright has
become the target of opposing
teams.
“He’s just really got that
sophomore-itis I guess,”
Watkins said. “After coming in
after that freshman year where
he didn’t have that Bulls’ Eye on
his back, he’s got it now. We
surely thought he’d be doing a
little more than what he’s been
doing offensively and defensive
ly this season.”
With the mounting losses,
it’s easy to see the frustration
on the faces of Aggie players
as they walk off the court. The
Cornhuskers on the other hand
have been uplifted by their
double-digit win over
Missouri.
“The coaching staff has kept
this team together,” said
Nebraska senior guard Nate
Johnson. “Anything can happen,
the season is not over, anything
can happen in the next seven,
eight games. We have to have
confidence in ourselves and be
humble.”
If the Aggies want to regain
the confidence they had and gain
the sense of confidence that
Nebraska has gained, then a win
over the resurgent Cornhuskers
is a must.
Without a win Wednesday,
the Aggies could never circle
another win this season.
“There is still some good bas
ketball to be played with this
team,” Watkins said. “I know it’s
there, but saying it is one thing
and doing is another.”
Rain postpones Aggie
women’s softball game
Mother Nature proved too much for the Aggie
Softball Field as recent downpours have caused the
double-header between No. 18 Texas A&M softball
and the University of Houston, originally scheduled
for Wednesday at 3 p.m., to be postponed until
Wednesday Feb. 18 at 3 and 5 p.m. on the Aggie
Softball Field.
The Aggies next game will be against the
University of Ordgon this Friday at 1:15 p.m. in
Phoenix, AZ, in the first of five games they will play
this weekend as part of the Fiesta Bowl
Tournament.
The Aggies overcame three rain delays to win their
home opener last Wednesday versus the University
of North Texas. Since the Aggies have gone on to
win both their games.
Texas A&M recruit arrested
after alleged robbery
Texas A&M football recruit Quentin Gardner was
arrested in Tyler Saturday for allegedly robbing two
women outside a department store, according to the
Dallas Morning News.
He was charged with robbery, a second-degree
felony, attempted theft from a person, a Class A mis
demeanor and evading arrest, a Class B misde
meanor, according to the article.
Gardner is a senior at Robert E. Lee High School
in Tyler. He signed a letter of intent to play football
for Texas A&M last Wednesday.
Gardner was a defensive back for Lee and was
expected to remain at that position for A&M.
Knight’s former house to be
sola on Internet
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - A 4,660-square-foot
home that once belonged to former Indiana men’s
basketball coach Bob Knight has been put up for
auction on the Internet.
The home, spread across nearly five acres of
secluded land in Bloomington,
features five walk-in closets, a
546-square-foot study, skylights
and a nearly 300 square-foot
master bathroom equipped with
a “jetted tub” and steam room
for two.
A posting on the Internet auc
tion site eBay seeks $397,500
for the home, or more than three
times the median value of a
home in Bloomington.
Knight, 63, who now coaches at Texas Tech, sold
the house to Bloomington resident Scott E. Swaffar
in March for $375,000, according to Monroe
County property records.
The house, which was built in 1982 and is
assessed at $275,000, has four bedrooms and four
bathrooms.
The Jan. 23 posting on eBay makes no secret of
the home’s famous previous owner: “Rare opportu
nity to live in the house The General’ lived in for his
last 16 years while he was the basketball coach of
Indiana University.”
Knight was fired from Indiana in September 2000
for what then-school president Myles Brand called
his “pattern of unacceptable behavior.” Knight had
led the Hoosiers to three national championships
and 11 Big Ten titles.
Nolan Ryan may work for
Houston Astros
HOUSTON (AP) —Now that he's cut ties with the
Texas Rangers, Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan is
free to start working again with the Houston Astros.
The possible move makes sense. Ryan already
owns the Round Rock Express, which is the Astros’
Double-A team and is expected to become a Triple-
A team in 2005. He also is co-owner of a Corpus
Christi minor league team, which will become the
Astros' Double-A team in 2005.
Astros general manager Gerry Hunsicker said
Tuesday that Ryan and Astros owner Drayton
McLane Jr. have had several conversations about a
possible position with the organization.
Ryan has said that he would be able to walk
across the parking lot to the Round Rock stadium
and be involved. He said it was natural that if he
develops a relationship with another club that it
would be Houston.
Ryan ended his formal relationship with the
Rangers on Monday by deciding not to sign a new
personal services contract.
Ryan pitched for the Astros from 1980-88.
He was 324-292 with 5,714 strikeouts and a 3.19
ERA in 27 major league seasons with the New York
Mets, California, Houston and Texas. The Angels,
Astros and Rangers have all retired his jersey.
He spent the final five seasons of his career
(1989-93) with the Rangers, throwing the last two of
his seven no-hitters and recording his 5,000th
career strikeout during that span.
Rice, University of Houston
accused of holding parties
with strippers for recruits
HOUSTON (AP) — Students from Houston’s two
Division l-A schools hired topless dancers for par
ties possibly involving football recruits without the
knowledge of the institutions, the head of the com
pany that supplied the strippers said Tuesday.
The purpose of the parties wasn't completely
clear, said Steve Lower, president and chief exec
utive officer of Denver-based Hardbodies
Entertainment Inc., which has branches in
Houston and Las Vegas.
Lower said Tuesday that student-athletes were
involved, but later characterized them only as students.
According to NCAA rules on entertaining
recruits, a school “may not arrange or permit
excessive entertainment,” though it doesn’t
specifically mention what students may or may
not do on their own.
The NCAA didn't return a call seeking further
clarification.
