Last Prop Shot
Here's one last shot at Proposi\
tion 64 for the time being.
It seems likely that Division II
: black colleges will, as gracefully
as possible, move back to the National
Association for Intercollegiate
Athletics.
"iney re tne only group that
really ever dealt with our needs
- and our situation realistically/*
said one black-college conference *
; information director.
The NA1A has no such en'
trance requirement as the
minimum 700 Scholastic Aptitude
Test score that NCAA
- Division 11 adopted last week.
; r Many black colleges were
2 members of thefNAlA in the
1960s, including Winston-Salem
; State.

"We're a halfcourt team,"
.Williams said. "In the first half
we set up and did everything
: right."
Corbett agreed that the tempo
favored the Aggies,
Z "They're a good running team
- and we wanted to slow things
down," Corbett said. "We
wanted to force things inside and
'l try to get their big people in foul
Z trouble."
Howard committed 27 fouls,
I compared to 17 for A&T. Six*
foot-nine Landreth Baugh fouled
; out, and the 6-8 Caracciolo and
* 6-7 John Spencer had four fouls
I each. Only center Lee Robinson
' had as many as four fouls for the
] Aggies.
Corbett-also stressed the tm*
portance of shot selection to the
I Aggie victory. A&T made 28 of
* 47 from the floor, good for 60
? percent. Howard made only 38
Despite the convincing win, the
A&T coach believes the Bison are
the .team to beat in the MidEastern
Athletic Conference
race.
"Howard played three games
this week and had to make the
long flight from Chicago," Corbett
said. "I also think what happened
up at Coppin State really
had us pumped for this game."
Williams said Howard had improved
itself with the addition of
Baugh and 6-8 HowarcTSpencer,
who have made the Bison the
third-best shot-blocking unit in
Division I.
"They're much more physical
this year," Williams said.
"That's the big difference."
Williams was the difference in
an A&T team that lost 67-63 at
Coppin, yet beat Howard by 16.
Williams, who held Baugh to two
points, had not played in
Baltimore for disciplinary

team finished as the highest-rated _
black college team among the 191
Division I-A and I-AA schools.
The Tigers, who were
eliminated in the Division I-AA
quarterfinals, were ranked 105th.
A surprising second was Florida
A&M (155th), followed by
Grambling State (158th).
Southern (160th), Delaware State
(162nd), Howard (168th), Alcorn
State (169th), South Carolina
State (171st) and North Carolina
A&T (172nd). The
ratings, which appeared in
USA Today, were based on
schedule strength.
There's no argument with Tennessee
State being the highest,
but A&T and Howard both
should have come out higher in my
opinion. They were a combined
17-6.
For instance, the Aggies (9-3)
lost to eventual 1-AA champion
Georgia Southern (ranked 31st),
Appalachian State (81st) and
Howard.
This system does a good job of
rewarding teams that play tough
schedules, but something is missing
when it comes to rating some
of the Division 1-AA teams.

reasons. , Because of Williams'
presence, Corbett was unbeat
.about the A&T Howard mruvrefi
in Washington on Feb. 21.
"We can play as well in D.C.,"
Corbett said. "It's going to be
just as intense there as here."
Williamson could not put his
finger on why Howard has had so
little success against the Aggies,
especially in Greensboro. The
Bison's last win here was in 1983.
"I don't know what happens
down here," he said. "They
alway seem to get us early. After
that start tonight, we were sort of
in a state of semi-shock."
Other coaches have mentioned
A&T's propensity to get big firsthalf
leads in Corbett. Some have
speculated that the west goal - at
which the visitors shoot \n the
first half -- is too loose or not
level. But the Aggies have to
shoot at it in the second half.
Whatever the difference is, it
has^he best o?-Howard.
