| Transcript | Houston 62 Aggies 56 Houston 52 Aggies 51 In a match that had some of the earmarks of a typical early-season opener, the Cougars needed a 19 point third period to down the Texas Aggies 62-56, in the Cougars basketball season home opener. A sluggish first half, replete with some bad passing and some equally bad shooting, hardly enthused the gathering of 1,700 fans. But, paced by 6 foot 9 Gary Shivers, the Cougars overcame a 36-30 halftime Aggie lead to go in front and hold the lead from the third period on. Gary Shivers was top scorer with 15 points, while Kittman and Mosher followed with 12 and 11. JACK BELL Guard Foster taps in two points. Mosher tries a jump shot. Led by Jack Mosher, the Cougars nudged the Aggies 52-51 in their second encounter, the decisive points coming in the final ten seconds. Although the Cougars led most of the way, they fell behind in the last minute 51-48. But the never-say-die spirit of Mosher proved effective as he stole the ball twice in the fading seconds and hit two quick one- handers from the corner. Texas A&M's Jim Addison was the game's top point producer with 16 markers. Shivers and Mosher each connected for 12. Bell gets shot blocked. |
