where for four years I don’t
think (the A&M Athletic
Department) gave him any help.
I don’t think there was any
emphasis placed on it. I do think
that’s changed over the last year
and a half. Things have gotten a
little different, but things are
tough if you don’t get help.”
This season has seen the
largest differential between the
two squads as Texas (17-4, 8-2)
is a game and a half out of first
place in the Big 12 conference.
A&M is two games behind
Baylor for 11th in the 12 team
league.
”1 don’t know (why A&M
hasn’t won a conference game),”
Barnes said. “I watched a little
bit today of their game with
Oklahoma, and they were right
there again. They do play hard
and they haven’t thrown the
towel in or any of that. I can’t
put my finger on it, and obvious
ly, Melvin can’t either, because
Wednesday, February 18, 2004
if he could he would. From the
outside looking in, 1 don’t
know.”
The losses are getting frus
trating for the players as well. In
every conference game this sea
son the Aggies have been in
position to win, but they just
couldn’t finish.
“It’s frustrating, 'but we’re
going to get it done pretty
quick,” said A&M senior center
Andy Slocum. “We’ve been in
every game so sooner or later
everything is going to fall our
way.”
The Aggies have only six
games left before the Big 12
tournament to finally get into the
win column.
A win at Texas, and Watkins
might be able to breathe a little
easier.
“We haven’t quit and we
haven’t laid down, and I don’t
expect to go over to Austin and
have our kids lay down,”
Watkins said. "The kids seem to
keep a level head; they know its
conference play, and they want
to get one.”
Tennis

TCU head coach Joey Rive
said he is glad to see his team’s
recent success and hopes the
success continues Wednesday.
“It’s going to be a big chal
lenge for us,” Rive said. “We’re
neck and neck right now though,
so there shouldn’t be any
blowouts.”
The national No. I A&M
doubles team of juniors Lester
Cook and Ante Matijevic should
he ready and we 11-rested after
having the weekend off. The
pair will face the national No.
19 TCU duo of Rafael Abreu
and Fabrizio Sestini in what
should be the most intense
match of the day.
Cook said the break was
much needed because both he
and Matijevic had been a little
banged up from playing indoors.
“They’re going to be tough -
we’re going to have to step it up
and take care of business,”
Cook said.
On the singles side. Cook is
going to have to face his one pet

Ohlde and junior forward
Kendra Wecker, who both aver
age more than 15 points a game.
“They start four great players
and one good one,” Blair said.
“(Kansas State head coach) Deb
Patterson in her fifth year hit the
lottery when she found three
players within 100 miles of
Manhattan, Kan. How often is
that going to happen.”
Patterson said she has been
impressed recently with fresh
man guard Claire Coggins,
whose shooting percentage went
up from 3.9 to 4.4 percent during
conference play.
Patterson said she respects
Blair and his team despite their
last-place Big 12 ranking.
“I definitely don’t remember
a 12th place team being as com
petitive and as scary as Texas
A&M,” Patterson said.
Blair said his team is starting
to believe in their potential.
“What good teams do is find a
way to win at the end,” Blair
said. “Sometimes when teams
are in losing streaks like we are,
you are playing not to lose too
much instead of finding that spot
on the floor to celebrate.”
Blair said his team is ready to
take on another top opponent.
“Our kids couldn’t tell you
the difference between (No. 1)
Texas and (No. 9) Tech,” Blair
said. “It is just one more some
one who is better than us, lets
just tee it up and see.”
players.
Cook is slated to face lefty
TCU senior Alex Menichini who
is undefeated this season. Cook
said the angles left-handers can
hit give them an advantage.
“It’s always a challenge for
me to play them,” Cook said.
“I really really hate playing
lefties.”
A&M senior Mohamed
Dakki said he is prepared for the
challenge that TCU will present
and hopes the rest of the Aggies
are as well.
“Every guy is going to have
to step it up a little bit,” Dakki
said. "I’m ready to fight.”
Cass said the result of the
TCU meet won’t dictate the rest
of the weekend, but it could help
set the tone. A win was not only
important for the road trip and
season, he said, but for the old
rivalry between the schools.
“It’s one of the ones we
always want to win every year,”
Cass said.
A&M is set to play TCU
Wed. at 1:30 p.m. The Aggies
will face Neb. on Friday and will
finish off the w£5icend on
Sunday against Colorado.
