Each day will give stu-dents from different UK col-leges the chance to explorethe opportunities that awaitthem in another country.

“Education Abroad is notabout traveling as it is aboutdeveloping knowledge andskills necessary to competesuccessfully in a globalworkplace,” EducationAbroad Director Anthony

Ogden said.The center of

#blueabroad week will bethe annual Education Abroadfair Wednesday from 10 a.m.to 3 p.m. in the Student Cen-ter Grand Ballroom, butevery UK student is encour-aged to take advantage of the opportunities #blueabroadweek has planned throughoutthe week, said Seth Riker,promotion and outreach co-ordinator for EducationAbroad.

Education Abroad workswith students concernedabout being in a new countryor about finances to helpthem have the best experi-ence possible, Riker said.

Many of the#blueabroad week eventsfeature presentations onscholarships and financialaid offered to students in-terested in studyingabroad.

A scholarship work-shop will take place Tues-day in The Hub at theW.T. Young Library from3 to 7 p.m.

“I know how dauntinga normal college experi-ence can be on a personand on a pocketbook, letalone a semester abroad.Nevertheless, no studentshould think these oppor-tunities are out of theirreach,” said Riker.

The FarmHouse Fraternityrang in a new era Saturdaywith the groundbreaking of itsnew house on Rose Lane.

The $4 million project in-cludes new additions, such asa chapel.

“FarmHouse began as aBible study group, so we feltthat having a chapel would befitting and unique,” saidAustin Sipp, a mathematicaleconomics junior.

Preparations for the proj-ect have been in progress foreight years and the money forwas raised by FarmHousealumni and friends, as well asmembers themselves.

Alumni and campaigncouncil co-chairs Bill Moodyand Lynwood Schrader de-signed the house.

The 20,000-square-foot,three-story house planned tobe completed by January 2014is expected to look differentfrom the other fraternity hous-es on campus.

The plan is to make itlook as much like an actualfarm house as possible be-cause a lot of members comefrom farm backgrounds.

The house will bring anew beginning and providemore growth for the fraternityas a whole, said John-TaylorTurley, president of Farm-House and a biosystems and

Wiggins show rolled into Cincinnation Friday night, as Huntington Prep(W.Va.) dismantled Aiken (Ohio),68-41, at the Play-by-Play Classic.

Earlier in the evening, Coving-ton Catholicground out a winover the host With-row Tigers, andDayton Dunbaredged out SummitCountry Day in atense encounter,but make no mis-take, the night wasall about Wiggins.

Posters adver-tising the eveningbore his name,those entering the

Withrow high school athletic facili-ty spoke of how they “only cameout to see Wiggins play,” and theprogram vendor excitedly quippedabout how he hoped John Calipariwould make the short trip fromLexington.

In a city that hosts two Divi-sion I basketball programs, dozensin attendance wore not the red andblack of the Bearcats nor the silverand blue of the Musketeers, but in-stead of the blue and white of UK,hoping to remind the No. 1-rankedrecruit in the class of 2013 thatthey would very much like to seehim in a Cats uniform next season.

Eyes and cameras focused inWiggins’ direction when he walkedinto the gym an hour before histeam was due to take the floor.

Covington’s student section chant-ed for his attention rather than con-centrating on their own school’sgame while Huntington’s playerssat courtside watching theColonels’ game with Withrow.

That and the previous gamewere almost treated as an under-card. Only the Huntington Prep andAiken players were allowed theprivilege to have individual playerstats displayed in the gym score-board. Heck, the national anthemwasn’t sung for the first time untilthe Express and Falcons lined thesideline hand over heart.

When the main bout of theevening finally did get under way,it didn’t take long for those in thegym to get on their feet, including

UK toughens up in win over LSU

UK head coach MatthewMitchell talked about toughnessand redemption after his No. 5UK Hoops (19-2, 7-1 SEC) lostto No. 18 South Carolina onThursday, the Cats’ first losssince November.

The Cats got that redemptionSunday with a 73-60 victory overLSU (12-8, 3-4 SEC), andMitchell was confident in histeam’s toughness.

“It’s a great win for the Wild-cats today,” Mitchell said. “Theyshowed a lot of determination, alot of tenacity, a lot of grit to winthat one. That was a difficult ballgame to win, and I couldn’t behappier for our players. Theygave great effort today.”

Losing at South Carolina leftthe Cats with clouds over theirheads, and practices prior to theLSU game were not promising.

“When you don’t lose a lot,maybe sometimes losses are hard-er to process and I just didn’thave a good feeling about howwe were processing the loss,”Mitchell said. “We seemed to letit linger into practice on Friday.We weren’t particularly energeticor peppy (Saturday). I was veryworried about the loss lingering.”

Sophomore forward AziaBishop emerged from those poorpractices to play a large part inbreaking through LSU’s tightzone defense that gave UK prob-lems in the first half. By the endof the night she had scored a ca-reer-high 17 points and had also

pulled down five rebounds.In the final minute of the first

half, Bishop missed an openlayup on a fast break, but shequickly bounced back by scoringthe next five UK points in quicksuccession. Later, in the final 10minutes of the second half, Bish-op kept finding the gap in LSU’szone.

Finding Bishop in those gapswere sophomore guard JenniferO’Neill and freshman guard Ja-nee Thompson. The two aren’tusually on the court at the sametime, but Mitchell found the duoto be effective against LSU.

“In this game it was one of ourbetter combinations because both ofthem could make threes and both ofthem could make good decisionsand both of them could push thetempo,” Mitchell said.

After battling the Tigers for a31-26 halftime lead, the Cats aban-doned their usual man-to-man de-fense in favor of a more foreignzone set. This led to fewer LSUturnovers, helping the visitors stayclose, but UK’s zone defense heldthem to 12-of-39 (30.8 percent) sec-ond-half shooting.

“In our conference you’ve gotto be able to change it up, andthat was very smart of CoachMitchell to change it up and giveus a different look,” said second-year LSU head coach Nikki Cald-well. “They still played their zoneaggressively with man-to-manprinciple.”

Though the Tigers made it afour-point game with two minutesremaining, UK managed to hold on

NEW YORK — Fans of Sarah Palin will haveto look a little harder to find their favorite vicepresidential candidate-turned-media-personalityon the airwaves in 2013. After three years as ahighly paid contributor on the network, Palinhas officially parted ways with Fox News.

The news was first reported Friday by thepolitical website Real Clear Politics, and waslater confirmed by The New York Times. AFox News representative was not available forcomment.

It was not immediately clear whether thebreakup was mutual.

“We have thoroughly enjoyed our associa-tion with Gov. Palin. We wish her the best in herfuture endeavors,” said Fox News executive BillShine in a statement to The New York Times.

Palin signed her deal with Fox in early2010, not long after resigning as governor ofAlaska, and was, for a while, one of the net-work’s most popular personalities. Her lucrativedeal earned her $1 million a year, making herthe highest-paid contributor on the channel. Butas her star began to fade, rumors began to swirl

that she was on the outs at Fox News.Network chief Roger Ailes stoked the fires

when he publicly claimed that he only hiredPalin because “she was hot and got ratings”and said she had “no chance” at being electedpresident.

The spat heated up once again this August,when Palin took to her Facebook account togrumble about being shut out of the network’scoverage of the Republican National Conven-tion. She has not appeared on Fox News sinceDecember.

No word yet on what Palin plans to dowith the studio Fox built in her Wasilla, Alas-ka, home in 2010, but there’s little doubt thepublicity-friendly family will find a use for it.Husband Todd competed on the NBC series“Stars Earn Stripes” last year, and daughterBristol followed up the poorly received “Life’sa Tripp” with her second stint on “DancingWith the Stars.” The former governor alsotook a stab at nonpartisan morning television,guest-hosting “Today” in April.

One member of Farm-House is excited about whatopportunities the new house

will bring.“The new house is less

about leaving our currenthouse and more about thehouse representing a new erain FarmHouse,“ Sipp said.

Vice President for Facili-ties Management Bob Wise-man said in October that thearea on Rose Lane could beconsidered for a “greek

park.”Family sciences junior

Emily Pfabe had a positivereaction to this possibility.

“It would be really coolto have all the sororities andfraternities in one spot in-stead of spread out overcampus. It could bring theGreek community closer,”Pfabe said.

FARMHOUSEContinued from page 1

the Cincinnati police officerswho swapped patrolling thegym lobby for the baseline inorder to get a glimpse of theAndrew Wiggins show.

Three and a half minutesinto the game, Wiggins threwdown a monsterous dunk thatwas met by “oohs” and“ahhs.” Soon after, anotherdunk was followed by ahigh-rising block on the de-fensive end.

While it wouldn’t be fairto say he was static, it wouldbe fair to say Wiggins didn’tneed to expend too much en-ergy to dominate his oppo-nents.

Any time the ball camehis way or a teammate put upa shot, Wiggins sprung intoaction.

When collecting the ballon the perimeter, he’d dartinto life, ducking and divingthrough the paint before cre-ating space to put up a shot.He battled with defenders —well, chose to nudge themout of the way, under thebasket to get into reboundingposition before soaring abovehis smaller defenders to grabthe board or attempt to tip inthe rebound.

Aiken’s 5-foot-10 guardA.J. Johnson tried to spin offWiggins when the Canadianwas boxing out at freethrows, a tactic useless withthe physical mismatch.

The crowd saw a glimpseof what Florida State fanscould see plenty of next sea-son if Wiggins spurns UK infavor of joining teammate andfellow Toronto native XavierRathan-Mayes at his parents’alma mater in Tallahassee.Rathan-Mayes, a former UKrecruit who committed to FSUin October, broke down courtwith Wiggins and threw a lobto his teammate. Wiggins ele-vated from distance, collectingthe ball 4 feet from the rim be-fore being denied a spectacu-lar slam by a strong foul froman Aiken defender.

It wasn’tjust on high-light-reeldunk attemptsthat Wigginswas noticed,however. Herolled offscreens withease thanks tohis muscularbuild, anddished toopen team-mates whenhe drove thelane and tooktwo, three oreven four de-fenders with him.

His legs appeared to besprings, and they needed tobe. After comfortably gainingposition around the basket,Wiggins would easily reachthe rebound first, but histouch around the rim whennot dunking needs somework. Although, it’s not

much of a problem whenyou’re a man playing againstboys and can afford multipletips before finding nothingbut net or a ticket to the foulline.

In one play midwaythrough the third quarter, Wig-gins rose for a defensive re-bound, then ran down thecourt like a rush-hour train.His defender, 6-foot-2 forwardAnton Dean, was literallybowled over by Wiggins, whothen followed through with athunderous slam, before beingcalled for the offensive foul— which was sheerly due to

his opponent’sstrength beingno match forhis own.

Dean,who wasguarded byWiggins formuch of thegame, washeld to justtwo points allnight. Later,Wiggins roseover bothDean and 6-foot-6 fresh-man

KameronMoore but couldn’t finish thedunk. That is until a team-mate passed the reboundback to him seconds later sohe could throw down a two-handed jam.

Down low, Falcons play-ers were defending Wigginsas though he were an NFLwide receiver trying to break

free at the line of scrimmage.They simply couldn’t matchhis size, strength or power.Da’Mon Harris, a 6-foot-2junior, almost fell to the floorwhen trying to bump Wigginson another effort to stop himgoing to the hole. Shortly af-ter Wiggins took his first restof the night late in the thirdquarter with 13 points and 9rebounds to his name (whichtriggered a mass exodus fromthe stands for the parking lot),Harris was the one making hisopponent bounce off himwhen Rathan-Mayes drove thelane.

The FSU commit, alongwith teammate DominicWoodson, a 6-foot-10, 290-pound Baylor commit, willneed to spend some serioustime in the gym if he hopesto see big minutes at the nextlevel. One Huntington playerwho looks to be more thanready for the fall is 6-foot-10,220-pound forward MosesKingsley. The Arkansas com-mit impressed all night withhis size, strength and rebound-ing ability. Also helping outthe Huntington cause wasTennessee commit TevonLandry, who looked morethan ready for his freshmanseason in Knoxville. Anothername to watch out for in thecoming years is sophomoreguard Austin Grandstaff, whoplayed beyond his age, takingover the contest when Wig-gins took his seat on thebench.

Grandstaff displayed anice touch from the field,playing with poise and com-mand that would suggest hewas older than his 15 years.The 6-foot-5, 175-poundTexas native finished with 12points and, like Wiggins, wasalso prevalent in the boardsand assists columns.

“My whole team is reallystrong and athletic,” Wigginssaid. “So we tend to get aload of boards. We workhard offensively and defen-sively and our rewards arerebounds.

When Wiggins cameback into the game a coupleof minutes into the fourthquarter, Aiken players re-sorted to tangling elbowswith the 200-pound forward,realizing their inferior bod-ies could find no other wayto prevent him driving to thebucket.

Three minutes later Wig-gins came out of the gamefor good, sitting down with

17 points, 11 rebounds andtwo assists.

“I think I played good,”Wiggins said. “(I) could haveplayed better offensively. Buton the defensive end, re-bounding and everything likethat, I did good.”

Perhaps the best way tosummarize the hoopla sur-rounding the 17-year-old iswhen he had to cut short hispostgame interview – the facthe had one and not one otherplayer at the event did istelling in itself – because ofthe line of 50 people waitingto greet him outside the Ex-press locker room.

Wiggins waited patiently,signing, smiling, shakinghands and posing for photoswhile his teammates lookedon, until the last fan had got-ten their piece of the mosthyped high school basketballplayer since LeBron James.

Afterwards, the team bushit the road for the next tourdate of the Andrew Wigginsshow, the Dunk 4 DiabetiesClassic in North Canton,Ohio.

In Saturday’s gameagainst Mentor, Wigginsturned on the heat, provingthat he can play at more thana stroll when needed againsttough competition. Scoring 30

points, grabbing 14 rebounds,swatting five blocks and col-lecting two assists, he helpedthe Express nudge their wayto a 61-59 point win. On Sun-day, Huntington steamrolledBenedictine, 81-40, with thestar of the show scoring 24points and 10 rebounds.

Were it not for theNBA’s minimum age rule,Wiggins would perhaps bethe first overall pick in the2013 draft. Instead, he’ll bewalking onto a college cam-pus in the fall for surely oneseason of college basketballbefore departing for the bigtime.

With a decision on hiscommitment not expecteduntil after he makes officialvisits to North Carolina,Kansas and UK followingthe last game of Huntington’sseason on March 9, it re-mains to be seen where theAndrew Wiggins show willland next season. If it doesroll into Lexington and jointhe No. 1-ranked recruitingclass in college basketball,get ready for daily chimesfrom the national mediaabout how the collegiate legof the tour will end with thehanging of a banner in RuppArena, before the showmakes its way to the NBA.

Azia Bishop had been a“disaster.”

At least that’s what hercoach, Matthew Mitchell, saidafter his team’s game against the

LSU Tigers.Bishop herselfadmitted tohaving a roughcouple of prac-tices afterThursday’s lossat South Car-olina, whichended the Cats’17-game winstreak.

But by thefinal buzzer onSunday, Bishophad led UK to a

73-60 victory with 17 points on7-of-10 shooting in 20 minutesof playing time, a new careerhigh.

Bishop, who missed sometime after fracturing her wrist,admitted to not being mentallyfocused the past couple of prac-tices this week and thought sheneeded to make up for it.

“I’ve had a couple roughpractices and coach had got onme a lot and told me to comeout, play hard and produce offthe bench, so that was where myconfidence came from,” Bishopsaid.

Safe to say, mission accom-plished.

Bishop was huge on a day

when UK’s usual standout for-ward DeNesha Stallworth strug-gled to get going. Stallworthdidn’t log a point in the firsthalf and finished with fourpoints and five rebounds on 2-of-5 shooting in, what for her,was a lowly 20 minutes of ac-tion.

Any other game with thattype of performance from Stall-worth, UK loses. Mitchell de-pends on his frontcourt toomuch to have a flat performancelike that, especially when UKstruggles to shoot from outsidelike it did against the Tigers (5-of-19 for 26 percent from behindthe arc).

Even with Samarie Walker’shard-fought double-double (10points, 13 rebounds), UK neededsomeone else to attack the weakparts of LSU’s zone.

Bishop was happy to stepinto that role.

“It was great to come andproduce for our team knowingthat I had a couple roughweeks,” she said.

Mitchell was equally ecstaticto have the sophomore’s produc-tion.

“Really happy that sheplayed that way; that is how weneed her to play,” he said. “Youcould see today why I might befrustrated when she doesn’tpractice well and isn’t en-gaged.”

Bishop, who wears a splint

on her injured wrist, has thehabit of losing focus, Mitchellsaid.

“She just gets out of sortsand the injury with the splint Ithink she worried about, ‘Can Icatch?’ instead of just catchingthe ball and playing,” he said.“Those kinds of things she getsdistracted. Today was unexpect-ed from her. I did not expectthat kind of performance, but Iam happy that we got it. ... Ithought that she played with thekind of grit and tenacity that weneed all of our players to playwith.”

If the Cats can get even halfof Bishop’s output against LSUon a game-by-game basis,Mitchell will be wearing a per-manent smile. Stallworth shouldbe back to her old self nextgame, Walker will continue toscrap and battle for rebounds,making Bishop the proverbialcherry on top.

Now the trick is getting herto play well with increased ex-pectations.

“It just puts her in a toughspot now because we all seewhat she can do and she just hasto come back and try to becomea dependable player for us,”Mitchell said. “If she does, itwill transform our basketballteam.”

A new and improved UK?That’ll be a disaster for the restof the SEC.

WICHITA, Kan. — Aprofessor at Wichita StateUniversity plans to create auniversity center with an am-bitious name: The Center forthe Internet of Everything.

Step one: Plant a smallgarden on campus whereplants will message irrigationpipes telling how much waterthey need.

Ravi Pendse, helped byInternet companies NetAppand Cisco, hopes to createother innovations he sayscould put WSU in the high-tech big leagues.

The garden will modelhow to save water and bil-lions of dollars in the world’scrops and lawns.

In the second and subse-quent steps, Pendse’s studentsand partners would developinnovations linking comput-ers, smartphones, social me-dia and the billions of sensorsnow being attached to —everything.

Pendse as a technologisthas collaborated with NetAppand Cisco for years, creatingtechnology and many WSUgraduates who went to workfor those companies.

Stan Skelton, director ofstrategic planning and ad-vanced development at Net-App, said his company hopesto work out plans withPendse this semester to growthe garden and establish thecenter.

The cen-ter will notrequire taxmoney orbu i l d ings ,Pendse said;it will oper-ate as a mo-bile group ofs t u d e n t s ,faculty andb u s i n e s spartners, andbe financedwith privatemoney. Theonly expens-es necessary so far: a fewhundred dollars for seeds andsensors.

WSU President John Bar-do endorsed Pendse’s plansafter he became WSU presi-dent in July.

“What Ravi is talkingabout in part is that we’re allseeing a massive increase inlow-cost connectivity … and

this allows you to think verydifferently about what youcan do.”

NetApp and Cisco are in-ternational companies thatcreate data storage and net-work underpinnings for theInternet. They’ve partneredwith Pendse and his studentsfor years.

“Students get firsthandexperience working with anindustrial partner,” said Ne-tApp’s Skelton. “And theywith their projects allow us totry riskier innovations, orprojects that we might not doourselves.”

Pendse was so concernedabout how to explain his ideasthat he prepped for the inter-view for this story by writingout pages of notes and careful-ly arranged note cards. (He didall this with handwriting, usingan ink pen.)

He and his business part-ners think an “Internet ofEverything” will be in-evitable, and that WSU couldhelp create it.

Currently, he said, thereare actually several “Inter-nets.”

There is the Internet thatis actually an Internet of “in-formation.” With Google andother search engines and thestorage of machines and theCloud, it has been a powerfultool humans use to organizeinformation.

Facebook, Twitter andother social media are “theInternet of people,” network-ing on a planetary scale.

There can be an Internetof “places”:for example,WSU, Cow-town, CityHall, restau-rants.

Unseen bymost of us,however, is the“Internet ofthings” — bil-lions of sen-sors attachedto machines orpeople, allwith wirelesscapability. The

OnStar driver protection sys-tem installed in many cars isa system of sensors that com-municate to machines andpeople hundreds of milesfrom the car, for example.

The “Fitbit” Pendse wearsrecords his every step,whether on the treadmill orwalking across campus. Onthe day we saw him, by 2

p.m. he had walked morethan 14,000 steps from thetime he got on his treadmill.

These sensors, billions ofwhich surround us already,will multiply and play a bigrole in our lives, he said. Carswill drive themselves, talk toeach other and to roadwaysand destinations, which willreply.

There will be smart fabrics— if we have a medical prob-lem, we can put on a shirt, andthe shirt will talk to our doc-tors, giving information aboutwhether we’re sick. Soon,Pendse said, there will besmart pills we can swallow,which will message from ourintestines about whether wetook our prescription, whetherwe’re sick, whether we haveearly-stage cancer.

Skelton said Pendse firstcame to the attention of hiscompany more than a decadeago, when Pendse and his stu-dents startled executives andtechnologists pioneering a wayto use handheld devices(PalmPilots) to monitor andmaintain data storage remotely.

Skelton was at a confer-ence of engineers in Europeat the time and saw their jawsdrop when the WSU innova-tion was demonstrated. Upuntil then, engineers had towork on storage systems byhand, including at night afterbreakdowns.

Remote technology likethat might seem old hat today,but it thrilled engineers then,Skelton said.

What Cisco and NetAppalso noticed about the sametime was that they were hir-ing a large number of WSUgraduates trained by Pendse.

One other result of thisrelationship with WSU: Net-App says it now has 525 em-ployees in Wichita, includingSkelton, a 1977 graduate ofWSU.

Pendse and the quality ofWSU students are part of thereason NetApp is here, Skel-ton said.

By most estimates, Pendsesaid, about 15 billion to 16 bil-lion “smart” devices — suchas desk computers, laptops,smartphones and tablets — arepermanently connected to theInternet. There are only 7 bil-lion people on the planet, sothat’s how ubiquitous these de-vices are, he said.

There also are currentlyabout 50 billion to 60 billionsensors in the world.

By the year 2020, only

seven years from now,Pendse said, technologiststhink there will be 50 billionsmart devices, and 200 billionsensor devices, talking toeach other, doing tasks for us,doing some thinking for us.

What his “Internet ofEverything” will do, Pendsesaid, is more coherently bringall these devices in line, en-hancing our world.

Many people in Wichita,Pendse said, are already capa-ble of developing many ofthese technologies, and creat-ing new jobs, new industriesin Wichita. It might be possi-ble, he said, to turn the entirecampus into a lab. For exam-ple, he said, parking is a hugeproblem, including on WSU’scampus.

He wants to put sensorsin every parking space, capa-ble of communicating withevery car in Wichita if neces-sary.

Anyone who parks atWSU regularly could obtainan app for their smartphone orcar. On their way to the cam-pus, the app could talk simul-taneously to every parkingspace on campus. The emptyspaces would talk back.

The technology to makethis possible will be createdsoon, he said. Why not createit here, using WSU as the lab?

A relentless recruiter — un-doubtedly the best in theone-and-done era of collegebasketball.Five consecutive top-rankedclasses have solidified the

perceptionof UK headcoach JohnCalipari.His coach-ing style,however,has oftenbeen de-scribed as“roll theballs on thefloor and let’em play.”Calipari isnever men-

tioned among the top benchcoaches in the country.Calipari’s coaching acumenwas tested Saturday againstlowly LSU, as the Catsavoided a potentially cata-strophic loss by holding offthe Tigers, 75-70.Although he made crucialdecisions in the final minuteto help secure the victory,the mostapplaudedmove wasintentional-ly foulingthe Tigerswhile nurs-ing a three-point leadin the finalseconds.This debatehas ragedthrough thecollege bas-ketballcommunityin recentweeks. On Saturday, No. 3Syracuse lost at Villanovawhen it allowed a late 3-pointer to tie the game andsend it to overtime.

Why would you foul whenup three? Why wouldn’tyou?Sports Illustrated’s LukeWinn determined that ateam has a 96 percentchance of winning whenfouling, as he analyzed thisvery situation statistically in2010.Too many things have tohappen just perfectly to losein that fashion. The foulshooter first has to drain thefirst shot, then purposelymiss the second — whichisn’t always easy to do, es-pecially in such a high-pres-sure situation. The shootingteam would have to some-how garner a rebound andget off a shot before timeexpires, just to earn over-time.So with the Cats clinging toa 73-70 lead with 3.1 sec-onds to go, Calipari instruct-ed the Cats to foul LSU be-fore the Tigers were able toget a shot off.“I’m not one to usually doit, but the way that gamewas playing, he would have

made thatthree,” Cali-pari said.“There ain’tno questionhe wouldhave bankedit and thatthree wouldhave gonein. So that’swhy I decid-ed to dothat.”A couple ofdribbles pasthalf-court,LSU’s soph-

omore guard Anthony Hick-ey was fouled by UK fresh-man guard Archie Goodwin.“He (Calipari) said to makesure they aren’t shooting

when you foul,” Goodwinsaid about the final instruc-tions before the play.“That’s pretty much com-mon sense. I wanted tomake sure he wouldn’t beable to get a shot off, so ashe took three dribbles I wasgoing to foul him before hecould gather himself to getup a shot.”Hickey, Kentucky’s Mr.Basketball in 2011 and a ca-reer 56 percent foul shooter,was charged with the diffi-cult task of hitting the firstfree throw and perfectlymissing the second to createan offensive rebounding op-portunity for the Tigers. Heclanked the front-end of the1-and-1, however, and theCats salted the game awaywith a pair of AlexPoythress foul shots.Other strategies employedby Calipari late in the gamealso stood out.With the lead trimmed totwo at 70-68 at the :49mark, Calipari went withoutGoodwin on the floor for ar-guably the most importantoffensive possession of thegame.“I don’t even remember,”Calipari said. “I didn’t wanthim getting fouled, so I justput the better free-throwshooters on the court.”After graduate student guardJulius Mays hit a free throwto push the lead to threewith 30 seconds left, Cali-pari inserted junior guardJarrod Polson for sophomoreRyan Harrow for defensivepurposes.“Just size,” Calipari said.“And because it worked.”With just a one point 71-70lead and 3.9 seconds to go,Calipari kept Nerlens Noelon the bench (or did he?)when he knew LSU was go-ing to intentionally foul.Noel wasn’t in the lineup,but came precariously closeto being a sixth person onthe floor before being pulledback to the bench by assis-

tant coach John Robic.Robic saved the Cats a tech-nical foul, which wouldhave likely cost them thevictory, but may haveyanked Noel a bit too fer-vently.“He almost ended my careerright there,” Noel said, jok-ingly, after the game.Calipari’s strategy coupled

with solid execution led tothe narrow win for the Cats— a win that at least on pa-per shouldn’t have been sotight. The Tigers came intoRupp with a 1-4 conferencerecord, including a 22-pointhome drubbing at the handsof the sole elite team in theSEC, the Florida Gators.“We should be gapping the

game, but that’s who we areand that means I’ve got tocome up with — foul thisguy before he shoots a three,stuff I don’t like to do,”Calipari said. “Oh, Cal, thatwas really smart. Youfouled.“Whatever you do — if youwin you’re a genius, if youlose you’re a goofball.”

Last-minute decisions were key inCats’ 75-70 victory over LSU

Calipari steps out ofcomfort zone for a win

PHOTO BY KALYN BRADFORD | STAFFNerlens Noel gets a rebound in the first half of UK’s game vs. LSU on Saturday. Head coach John Cali-pari kept Noel on the bench toward the end of the game when he knew LSU would intentionally foul.

The UK men’s andwomen’s track and fieldteams dominated the 3,000-meter run in the highlight ofthe teams’ effort in the RodMcCravy Memorial Meet onSaturday at Nutter FieldHouse.

Junior Cally Macumberset the Nutter Field Houserecord in the women’s 3,000-meter run with a time of9:10.34, the fastest time inthe nation so far this year.

Senior Chelsea Oswald(9:19.01) also broke the meetrecord as she finished second.

The men’s 3,000-meterrun was taken by UK juniorMatt Hillenbrand (8:10.04)for his first-ever collegiatevictory at the distance. Thewomen’s 4x400 team, con-sisting of sophomore Angeli-ca Whaley, senior ShiaraRobinson, sophomoreDevinn Cartwright andfreshman Morganne Phillips,followed with the third con-secutive win for the Cats at atime of 3:43.81. Junior Kay-

la Parker finished third inthe women’s 60-meter hur-dles.

“Cally (Macumber) andChelsea (Oswald) stepped up.I think Kayla Parker steppedup. She had a big personalrecord and she’s very close. Ithink Morganne Phillips alsostepped up,” head coachEdrick Floreal said.

Even though both teamsfinished with three victoriesduring the final hour of themeet, those would be the onlywins by either team at the endof the meet, which boasted a

relatively weak field. OhioState, Georgia Tech, Missouriand Louisville were the onlyschools in BCS conferencesin the majority of the events.

Floreal was admittedlyfrustrated.

“We’re just not very con-sistent. Sometimes whenyou’re building somethingnew, people get a spark thensometimes revert back towhat they were doing,” hesaid. “Instead of going backand forth, what we’re tryingto get done is get (the ath-letes) comfortable with some-

thing new. They’ve beencomfortable doing whatever(they do). And we have tochange that, and people haveto get uncomfortable.”

Floreal also said that helacks patience, but he’s“working on” trying to gainpatience with the team.

“I refuse to compromise,I refuse to accept status quo,”he said. “That can be difficultfor some people to handle,but we are all going to begood. I got innovation in mymind and big goals anddreams for the team.

“Frankly, for some peo-ple, (this competition) is notfor them. I don’t mean thatin a bad way. The SEC is notfor everybody. This is notyour mama’s conference.This is not your grand-mama’s conference. This is aserious, intense conference.You either belong here oryou don’t. And some peopledon’t belong here. They aregoing to have to realize thatby themselves, and some-times (coaches) will have tohelp them realize that theydon’t belong here.”

UK men’s tennis securedqualification for the ITA Na-tional Indoor Championshipson Saturday after winning theITA Regional Kick-Off Tour-nament at the Hilary J. BooneTennis Center.

No. 9 UK (5-0-1) firstknocked off Michigan State inthe regional semifinal beforeovercoming No. 17 Texas inthe final.

“This win is big,” UKhead coach Cedric Kauffmannsaid following the win over

Texas. “Other than our fansand players there were not alot of people around the coun-try who had faith in us to wintoday.”

The Cats defeated Michi-gan State on Friday afternoon,4-2. The Cats again won thedoubles point, which Kauff-mann had stressed in practicewould be vital if his squadwere to qualify.

“It’s always important toget the doubles point,” he said.“It is very hard to win four ofthe six singles matches, sofrom a confidence standpointit is very important.”

Junior Tom Jomby andfreshman Kevin Lai won, 8-5,to continue their strong start tostart the year, while senior An-thony Rossi and junior GrantRoberts clinched the pointwith another 8-5 victory.

Heading into singles, theCats got another solid per-formance from Jomby, whoneeded less than an hour tobeat Michigan State’s DrewLied, 6-0, 6-1. The Cats gotanother boost in the singlesfrom Rossi, who won 6-2, 7-6over Aaron Pfisterto to givethe Cats a 3-0 lead overall. A6-3, 6-0 win for sophomoreCharles Minc gave the Catsthe 4-2 win.

Heading into the final,Kauffmann noted how histeam’s performance wouldhave to be “much better” Sat-urday to win the regional. TheCats got strong performancesfrom Jomby/Lai and juniorsAlejandro Gomez and RyujiHirooka to capture the doublespoint as the match with Texasgot under way. UK has wonevery doubles point so far thisyear.

Heading into singles, Jom-by again showed his prowess.The Frenchman dispatched hisopponent in quick fashion with

a 6-0, 6-1 win to move to 4-0in singles on the year, winningevery first set 6-0 in theprocess.

“Tom has always been thistalented,” Kauffmann said.“We really had to work men-tally with him to get him tobuy in.”

After taking the 2-0 lead,the Cats needed a pair ofthree-set thrillers to win thematch. Rossi improved to 5-0on the year with his victoryover the Spartans’ Soren Hess-Olesen, 4-6, 6-4, 7-5. Minuteslater Gomez upset MichiganState’s Daniel Whitehead 4-6,6-2, 7-5 to give UK the winand qualification to the nation-al championships.

“I am so proud ofGomez,” Kauffmann said.“He is coming off surgery andwas feeling down after losinghis matches against IU (Indi-ana University) and MichiganState, but he told his team-mates that he was not going tolose today. That took a lot ofpride, and I am very proud ofhis win today.”

UK is next in action Sun-day against No. 8 Oklahoma.The match gets underway at 1p.m. at the Boone Tennis Cen-ter.

We are a Big Blue Nation United.That statement has never been more true — and never

more evident — than two weeks ago when we were joinedby Gov. Beshear and more than 30 legislators in support ofour proposal to self-finance three critically important facil-ities on our campus.

These facilities — a renovated and expanded GattonCollege of Business and Economics, a new Academic andScience Building, and a renovated Nutter Training Facilityand Commonwealth Stadium — underscore our commit-ment to putting students first in everything that we do.

The support of you and so many legislators representsa crucial step in making these buildings a reality.

But our work is not done. The legislature returns onFeb. 5 to begin its work in earnest.

As a member of the Big Blue Nation, we are askingyou to continue to express your support for the legislature

in authorizing UK to move forward in self-financing theseprojects, all without one dime of state funds.

The best way you can show that support — and reachout to your legislator — is by going towww.BBNunited.com. Click on the link, showing howyou can get involved. Provide us the information requestedand we can match you with your legislator to facilitateasking them to move quickly to support UK’s request.

We are close, but still need the approval of the legisla-ture before we can move forward with projects that willcreate hundreds of jobs, improve learning and researchspace for students and faculty and give our student athletesand fans facilities that match their skills and passions.

Please take a moment to go to www.BBNunited.comto get involved and ask for support.

We are a Big Blue Nation United and we are proud tojoin together in the effort to revitalize our campus.

BBN should stand united on proposal to revitalize campus

Wow. (Tuesday’s) article in the opinions sectionby Andrew Stith was well written and well argued.

I am beyond impressed. As someone who identi-fies myself to be heterosexual but not narrow-mind-ed, I appreciate how Mr. Stith’s argument had factsto back up his opinion — and that he did not quotethe Bible to discuss an issue concerning “the separa-tion of church and state.”

My favorite quotes include:— “The question is not “whose perspective has

more weight in the argument?”, but rather “what isthe legal rationale behind denying marriage equali-ty?”

— “Differing options are both normal andhealthy to debate over social and legal values, and Iwould never berudge any respectful, rational personthat difference.”

This article was also well articulated, and wellpunctuated.

Thank you, Andrew Stith, for being the highlightof my Tuesday.

UK hockey (9-19-0) fellin both contests against No.4 Lindenwood this weekend.Friday night saw a score of11-2, and Saturday the Catsfell 14-3.

The Lions made quickwork of the Cats on Fridaynight, exiting the first periodahead by three goals.

In the second period, af-ter sending the puck pastUK’s senior goaltender SalOlivet for the fourth time,Lindenwood’s sophomoreJosh Prygon scored a short-handed goal, which skippeddown Olivet’s back andacross the line. They wouldscore their sixth goal notlong after.

After a hooking call onsophomore forward ChadHickson, the Cats’ junior de-fenseman Jeremy Schmidtscored UK’s first goal of thenight. The Cats would exitthe second down by fivegoals.

Lindenwood added a fur-ther six goals in the third pe-riod, including one into itsown net, which counted forthe Cats.

Saturday the Cats beganthe game skating with theLions much better than theyhad Friday night; however,that didn’t stop the visitorsfrom going ahead early. Tenminutes into the game, a shotsnuck behind Olivet, hit apost and bounced into thenet. Within two minutes, theLions had added to their leadby an additional two goals.

Shortly after junior for-ward Matt McLaughlin wasfreed from the penalty boxafter a roughing call, his old-er brother, senior forwardSean McLaughlin, scored thefirst goal of the night for theCats. Lions sophomore for-ward Luke Hayes sniped an-other puck behind Olivet be-fore the end of the period,

putting the Cats down bythree going into the first in-termission.

Early in the second stan-za, junior forward BrendenChurch scored Linden-wood’s fifth. After two moreeven strength goals, UK’sfreshman defenseman GregIson was whistled for highsticking and the Lions werequick to make the Cats payfor that penalty. Lindenwoodfired another shot not longafter between the legs ofOlivet to increase their leadto eight.

The crowd got back intothe contest soon after whenCats fresh-man for-ward Dy-lan Higginsand Hayesgot into afight. Bothp l a y e r swere is-sued agame mis-c o n d u c tand ejectedfrom thegame.

Higgins was issued anadditional two-minuteroughing penalty, which wasserved by another Cats play-er.

The fight seemed to givemomentum to the home side,with junior forward MattHudzinski scoring short-handed for his second goalof the season, cutting the Li-ons’ lead to seven after twoperiods.

Ninety seconds into thethird, Lindenwood extendedits lead by two goals onceagain, going up by nine, be-fore the lead was quicklystretched to 10.

Lindenwood snuck an-other puck behind Olivet,extending the lead to 11.

With 30 seconds remain-ing, the Cats would add oneadditional tally, but the Lionswould show them no mercy,
