Williams took the ball from tm Howard V Derek Carocciolo in S the manner of a defensive back wresting a pass from a wide IT receiver. The. 6-foot-7, U i05-pound Williams turned his H pickoff into an unmolested slam dunk and a 59-44 A&T lead. The Aggies proceeded to run the H argin to 70-50 with 6:27 left en I route to their ninth win over the B Biaon in their last 11 meetings. , F "I just anticipated the ball," ^ Williams said afterward. "I was lucky I didn't get a foul because H referees tend to react to any steal H attempt, but I got all ball." Indeed, the Aggies got all of the Bison, who entered with a five-game winning streak and some competitive early-season H play against the likes of H Villanova, Ohio State and Providence. The winning streak in- W eluded championships in the ^ Utica Tournament and McLen- t# don Classic in Chicago. wk But A&T, which was coming fl off a loss at previously winless CoppTn State, derailed the Howard express with a rousing He start at Corbett Sports Center. ne The Aggies, behind the outside shooting of No. 2 guard George te Cale, opened a 17-2 lead that set fe the stage for a lone nieht for the w -~W W W--W Bison. * "The kids wanted to beat them so badly they lost perspective," ^ Coach A.B.

After the lopsided loss to A&T last week, these North Carolinians were hoping that their return here for the MEAC Tournament in March is more successful.

Play some ball tonight," Corbett responded. The Aggies themselves did play some ball, especially Williams (14 points, eight rebounds, two blocked shots, two steals), Cale (23 points) and sophomore guard Corvin Davis (a career-high 17 points). Cale, a 6-6 long-range shooter who made nine of 13 from the field, was astonished byHoward's lack of a second-half surge and urge. "With eight minutes left all they could say is, 'You guvs have to come to the Capital,' " Cale said. "I mean, don't they have I enough pride to play their hearts out the entire game? They were only 15 points down or so. With the three-point line, they could be back in the-game with five shots. And they're eighth in the NCAA in three-point percentage." ft But credit Cale with boggling the Bison's minds with his early- P game barrage from downtown Greensboro. Cale opened the I scoring with a line-drive three- I pointer. He Jft^nt on to score * I A&T's first 10 points and 12 of its first 17. Cale said his effort against Howard was ^ atypical of his previous three outings, including a one-for-nine night against Coppin State. _ "I'nrrelieved because I was in ft a three-game slump," said the I senior from Middletown, Del. - W "Coach (Corbett) took me out to shoot the other day. He told me 1 was pushing my shot. He told me to sling the ball because that's my normal shot and it doesn't have a whole lot of rotation on it." While Cale was counting spins, point guard Thomas "Ice" Griffis was getting the offense synchronized.
