Williamson’s favorite part of shopping at thrift stores is the unexpected finds nestled in among the store racks.
ince Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were seen sailing through the aisles of Goodwill with giant fur coats, capes and footy pajamas, the thrift shop scene has gone mainstream. It’s clear that thrift stores aren’t just for old ladies and pennypinchers anymore. The trend has reached beyond the billboard chart topping song “Thrift Shop” and has been a consistently growing business. According to the National Association of Resale Professionals, the number of resale shops have increased by 7 percent in the last year. Goodwill currently operates 2,500 non-profit stores in the nation, and other similar stores are expanding. See THRIFT SHOP, page 3

Village could see zoning changes
City council discusses proposal to rezone area, have less parking CHOKEY STAFF REPORTER | ARIC aachokey@bsu.edu Zoning into four districts, less parking and sustainable standards are some initiatives proposed for Village revitalization in a City Council meeting on Monday. Council members voted in favor of considering the newly proposed Ordinance 7-13, which is an amendment to the current Muncie Zoning Ordinance that will redistribute use of the Village and the area south of it. The entire district will be split up into four distinct areas that will be reserved for university expansion, commercial space and two different residential areas for multi-family and single family housing, according to the plan. The commercial space that will be reserved addresses a desire of bringing businesses to the Village area, which was one aim of the University Village Development Plan, adopted in 2001 and absorbed into the bigger Muncie-Delaware Comprehensive Plan.

Scouts reject troop sponsored by gay rights group Organization attributes application rejection to different missions, views | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SALT LAKE CITY — The Boy Scouts of America have rejected an application for a scouting troop sponsored by a Utah gay rights organization. The Utah Pride Center recently asked permission to start a troop for 10 middle-school aged children with straight troop leaders, said executive director Valerie Larabee. Many of the boys’ parents had previously left Scouts or opted not to join because of their opposition to the Boy Scouts’ long-standing policy excluding gays and lesbians.

They were told that the mission of their organization didn’t properly align with the goals of Boy Scouts, said Charles Frost, Utah Pride Center director of community engagement. The Salt Lake Citybased group is an advocacy and service group for gays and lesbians. The rejected proposal was first reported by The Salt Lake Tribune. Rick Barnes, executive of the Boy Scouts’ Great Salt Lake Council, said it was a decision made by the national organization and forwarded inquiries there.

Sophomore Sebastian Gardenhire poses with his computer and keyboard. DN PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BOBBY ELLIS
PIXELATED SYMPHONY Student acts as digital composer in game soundtracks RYAN HOWE CHIEF REPORTER | rhowe@bsu.edu Sebastian Gardenhire’s fingertips hovered above his musical keyboard. Staring at a blank computer screen with headphones covering his ears, he waited. He waited for the inspiration to come, but the time passed too slowly and he grew impatient. Suddenly, he pressed his middle finger down, releasing the musical note from his keyboard, through his computer and into his ear. Like wildfire, his fingers scanned the keyboard, putting
pressure on the black and white keys as he built the foundation to his next song. “If I waited to get inspired I would be sitting here all day,” Gardenhire said. “I start messing around and continue playing different melodies until I find one that really inspires me, and I stick with that one.” Working from his 13 foot by 10 foot bedroom, the 21-year-old transfer student composes and sells his music to be used in indie video games, a task that he hardly considers work. He finds peace sitting in his swivel chair at the foot of his bed and making music after a day of classes and homework. Gardenhire has always been a fan of music, playing the classical violin since he was
10 and picking up guitar later in life. However, music isn’t his only passion. He loves video games. After getting into the hobby of playing independently made video games, he knew he wanted to pursue a career in game development. That inspired his illustration major, and his obsession began. Now his Wii is collecting dust. “I forget that I’m even a gamer sometimes,” he said. “I am constantly editing and rearranging the music so the game designers get what they want. When I was making music for myself, it was a lot less stressful, and I wasn’t racing against the clock.” Gardenhire started creating his own music two years ago. His passion in playing video
THRIFT SHOP: Students share secondhand tales about the thrifty world of resale
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Just as every garment on a thrift store clothes rack is distinctly different, identical thrift shoppers do not exist. Backgrounds, fashions, mind-sets, price. These are all potential influences on a thrift shopper’s style. These thrifty students aren’t ashamed to take your grandpa’s style — but, no for real, ask your grandpa — can we have his handme-downs?
ENDLESS WARDROBE
Tyler Grube was one of thirteen children being raised by a single mom. For his family, thrift shopping was the main means of finding threads to save on cash. Today Grube still shops only at thrift and vintage stores. As a sophomore fashion design major at Ball State, he is acutely aware of his sense of style. “I do it because part of what I consider to be fashionable is the illusion of having a seemingly endless wardrobe,” he said. “I just never want to be accused of always wearing the same thing and this system kind of keeps that from happening.” Grube began keeping a journal of what he wore everyday toward the end of high school, ensuring that he did not repeat outfits. After wearing a specific set of clothes one day, Grube will not be seen in that set of clothes again for at least two weeks.
THREAD OF A TALE
With every garment Koledon Lambright wears, he is conscious of the piece’s original owner. Whether it was his grandmother or a random Goodwill donator, Lambright is mindful of the garment’s background. “When I wear clothes, it’s a lot more about who had them prior to me,” Lambright said. “It’s a weird thing because usually people say, ‘Oh, my clothes identify me.’ But really, I use my clothes as a way to pay homage to the people who used to wear them.” Through his wardrobe of thrifted gems and family hand-me-downs, Lambright throws societal expectations to the wayside, instead dressing for his own personal satisfaction.
THE EXCAVATOR
Every weekend, Algier Williamson embarks on his own personal treasure hunt. He readies his bike, making sure that it will be able to transport any goodies he may dig up on his venture. When Williamson arrives at Goodwill, he expects to be searching for at least three hours. Upon arrival, he jumps into his routine, bouncing from section to section of the store, carefully scrolling through the racks of miscellaneous garments. “You go in there and you just keep an open mind,” Williamson said. “It’s just like a whole new world opens up at you because you’re scrolling through the wracks. Certain patterns, certain colors, certain fabrics — these
are all the things I pay attention to instantly as I’m scrolling through.” For Williamson, the ever-changing supply of clothes at thrift shops such as Goodwill is what truly makes them special. Being contained to his barbershop all week, Williamson’s weekend excursions allow for his mind to explore through means of fashion and style. “I could tell you exactly everything that’s in the mall right now, but when I come in here, you never know,” he said, carefully examining clothes at his usual Muncie treasure chest. “This is what makes it so special.” Another of Williamson’s hobbies is painting: an art that he believes defines how he goes about his clothing choices on a daily basis. “It’s like I get to paint a picture everyday,” Williamson said. “Some days I feel bright and colorful. Some days it’s playful. Some days it’s serious. I like being able to exude that through clothes and fabrics and the things I put together.”
games pointed him down the road to music production. The music used in video games inspired him to buy a keyboard and start playing. With the keyboard attached to his computer, he can replicate almost any instrument. Gardenhire began by making an album of his music and releasing it on his bandcamp profile. He made this to advertise what he can do and attract potential employers. He relied heavily on social media to advertise his album and get attention; he also sent out mass emails to independent game developers. It was through his email that he landed his first two clients and continues to get offers for work. Doug Schieber has been friends with Gardenhire for
five years. Most of the time they spend together Gardenhire has either a controller or his guitar in his hand. “It’s crazy how dedicated he gets into things,” Schieber said. “Everything he does he puts 110 percent into...I’ve never met a more dedicated person.” Schieber is one of many people that Gardenhire turns to for guidance and feedback concerning his musical tracks. He consults the person he is working for, his close friends and family and also complete strangers. Between classes Gardenhire asks students to take time and listen to a track. He approached a girl scrolling through her phone and asked for some feedback on something he made. She agreed and was ripped away from her

Twitter feed and emerged into Gardenhire’s world. Beats snaked through his white headphones connecting her ears to his iPhone 5. He watched as her head bobbed to the fast paced sounds of violins and pianos filling her ears. “It’s really good,” she said. “It’s something I would work on homework to if I was trying to get it done quickly, or if I was doing something important.” Gardenhire is still sending out samples of his work and looking for more projects to get started on. “It can get stressful, but making music is my favorite thing right now,” he said. “The fact that I am getting paid for it is just a bonus.”

THRIFTY BUSINESS
Stephanie Cater has made a profit from secondhand hunting. She runs Broad Ripple Vintage with her husband John Solhan. Selling only used items, the shop differs from thrift shops in its filtered shelf stocking; however, this hand-picked nature allows for Cater and Solhan to provide a curated thrift shop experience, sifting through the mounds of cloth to find gems to stock their racks. “There are very few identical items. There’s not one in another size,” Cater said. “Until you get used to shopping this way, it’s hard.” When it comes to used shopping, Cater believes an undoubted uniqueness comes with wearing used clothes, allowing for creativity to be channeled. “If you can see past what it is now and see how you wanna use it, then you’re really in business because you can meld your own style together,” she said. “You don’t have to look like you just stepped out of a Sears catalogue circa ’68.” Pat Jones, business coordinator at Muncie Mission Ministries, heads the operations at four Attic Window thrift shops, two in Muncie, one in Winchester and one in Hartford City. Through the shops, MMM raises funds to provide food and shelter to homeless people, among other community service initiatives. Jones said the store’s link to community betterment is what sets it apart. “We like to say shopping at the Attic Window is like a treasure hunt — you never know what you’re going to find,” Jones said. “A thrift store shopper is different than a typical, regular shopper. Their attitude is they’re trying to find the needle in the haystack. They’re trying to find that treasure item that we’ve put really cheap that they can claim that they found that day.”

Group looks to make Emens garage greener Team’s plan features LED lights, structure with solar panels
|
CHRIS STEPHENS CHIEF REPORTER castephens@bsu.edu
An immersive learning group is looking to lighten Ball State’s electrical load by installing energy efficient lighting in a parking garage. Cardinal Green Team will submit its proposal to retrofit John R. Emens parking garage with new LED lighting fixtures and solar panels. “Parking garages are looked at as ‘let’s just throw one up,’ [when first built],” Chris Klein, leader of the project, said. “Parking garages get overlooked [for sustainability]; if all our buildings are sustainable, then it would help to do the parking garages too.” The team will present their idea to several members of Ball State’s facility management team as well as industry professionals on April 10. CGT chose the Emens parking structure because it was not only the oldest and the busiest of the three on campus but, according to the CGT proposal, the least energy efficient. The structure was most recently retrofitted with 121 sodium halide lights in 1991, which never turn off and aren’t energy efficient, Klein said. Klein said the group’s plan involves changing all light fixtures to LED as well as attaching solar panels to the parking structure’s stairwell’s roof in order to power the structure
Student veterans face different challenges than other Ball State students, and one veteran wants to educate those not in the military through her presentation, “Understanding and Welcoming Student Veterans.” April Krowel will present from 1 to 3 p.m. on Tuesday at the L.A. Pittenger Student Center room 301. She hopes to help people better understand the different struggles veterans face. “There’s an influx of veterans on campuses,” she said. “More than likely people interact with veterans whether they know it or not.” Krowel’s presentation will go more in-depth on challenges such as transitioning to college, campus navigation and social challenges. “I’m trying to give a well-rounded perspective of what it’s like to be a student veteran in hopes that it can help those who interact with them,” she said. The session will be a combination of seminar-style learning with some activities and discussion. Krowel said it’s important for people to be knowledgeable about this topic. “There are high dropout rates for student veterans,” she said. “Not having that supportive environment is possibly one of those causes that are going on.” Krowel served in an Army military police unit and was deployed to Iraq in 2003. Ball State has about 200 veterans on campus.

and, hopefully, create an excess of power the university can sell back to the power company. “The cool thing about LED is they use very little energy — when you see the payback in years it’s a no brainer for me,” Klein said. According to CGT research, the program pays for itself in less than 7 years, and in 15 years the savings to the university will total over $156,000. Year one savings would be $10,441. Jim Lowe, director of Engineering and Construction Operations, said the university is always open to listen to suggestions by students who have studied an issue. “Students have an open end-
ed opportunity to basically create any study or project,” Lowe said. “It’s a two-way street — an opportunity for them to learn from us and we can get suggestions from [student groups],” Lowe said. Lowe also said the university has plans and people looking at LED technology to update existing lighting systems. CGT is taking part in a national competition called Green Energy Challenge presented by the National Electricians Contractors Association. James Jones, the faculty leader for Cardinal Green Team, said he believes the group’s proposition falls in line with the university’s focus on sustainability and energy conservation.
“We hope [Ball State] would at least consider this as they renovate and make a case that this should happen sooner than later,” he said. Jones said the proposition is not out of the norm, and the university probably already has long term plans to replace the lighting fixtures. However, he hopes the CGT proposition can show the university how much money they can save. Cardinal Green Team is one of many immersive learning projects Ball State students can take part in, something that greatly enhances the educational opportunities for students, Klein said. “It’s Ball State’s trademark, and they live up to it,” Klein said.
President has 1 year to assure peaceful nuclear program in Iran THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE ISSUE
President Barack Obama pledged during the 2012 campaign, and since, that he will not let Iran develop nuclear weapons. According to his own timeline, Obama has about a year left to see if his policy of diplomacy and sanctions can get Iran to slow its enrichment of uranium and assure the world its nuclear program is peaceful. If the United States and its partners cannot succeed, the stage may be set for an American or Israeli military intervention. Resolving the standoff while avoiding war ranks among the biggest foreign policy challenges of Obama’s second term. And time grows short. In his last debate with Republican candidate Mitt Romney, two weeks before the election, Obama more explicitly outlined his red line for Iranian nuclear advancement. He drew it at “breakout capacity,” or when Iran has acquired the necessary knowhow and enough enriched uranium to build a bomb. “We have a sense of when they would get breakout capacity, which means that we would not be able to intervene in time to stop their nuclear program,” Obama said. Since winning re-election, Obama has pressed on with his two-track Iran strategy of sanctions and diplomacy. In Kazakhstan in February, the U.S. and other world powers presented Iran with a new offer of eased sanc-
THE PROMISE • “ The United States will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.” — Speech to United Nations, Sept. 25, 2012. • “When it comes to preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, I will take no options off the table. ... That includes all elements of American power: a political effort aimed at isolating Iran, a diplomatic effort to sustain our coalition and ensure that the Iranian program is monitored, an economic effort that imposes crippling sanctions and, yes, a military effort to be prepared for any contingency.” — Speech to pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC, March 4, 2012.
tions for nuclear concessions. But the memory of countless failed negotiations with the Iranian government has participants and observers alike skeptical that a breakthrough can be reached, and almost certainly not until after Iran’s presidential elections in June. The president’s recent Mideast trip has taken some pressure off him for an immediate resolution. Burying their previous disagreements, Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed on the timeline remaining before Iran could build a bomb. The Jewish state’s leader also endorsed Obama’s efforts and toned down threats of any imminent Israeli military action. Still, Obama doesn’t have much time if he hopes to avert a military confrontation.
Sanctions are destroying Iran’s economy but not its will to enrich more uranium. U.N. reports have outlined worrisome research into possible warhead delivery systems. And as Iran gets closer and closer to nuclear weapons capacity, the concern becomes ever graver in Israel — which the Islamic republic has threatened to wipe off the map — and Iran’s Arab rivals in the Persian Gulf, such as Saudi Arabia. The clarity of U.S. intelligence assessments may prove decisive. Iran’s nuclear activity remains notoriously opaque despite years of international efforts to pry open sites for inspection. How Obama reacts in the coming months, and possibly years, could largely depend on the degree of certainty the U.S. has on whether any red line has been breached.
OFFICIAL SAYS MEASLES NOT AN ISSUE Ball State students with vaccine not likely to contract infection despite IU instance RACHEL PODNAR CHIEF REPORTER object on religious grounds, | rmpodnar@bsu.edu have had measles vaccinaA health official at Ball State said the confirmed case of measles in an Indiana University Bloomington student is no reason for students to be alarmed, as long as they have received the vaccination. Representatives from both the Ball State Health Center and Delaware County Health Department said the state has not issued any warnings or concerns of a measles outbreak related to the case. Medical Director of the Health Center Kent Bullis said all students, except those who

tions and one incident is not something to fear. “Given all the different things students have to worry about, I would say measles should be way down on the list,” he said. “Especially if they’ve had their measles vaccine there is not a reason they should spend a lot of time thinking about measles.” Bullis said it has been at least four or five years since he can remember a measles case at Ball State, but those who have not had the vaccine should stay aware if any cases
occur in the community. Preparedness nursing coordinator for the Delaware County Health Department Susan Morris said immunization is the most important mode of prevention and people should make sure their immunizations are up to date. Everyone outside of those who object for religious reasons is vaccinated by age one and again before kindergarten, Morris said. Measles is a highly contagious viral respiratory infection whose symptoms include high fever, cough and rash. “With sickness in general,” Bullis said, “the biggest thing to do is wash your hands frequently — after going to the bathroom and before you eat
and keep your hands away from your mouth. In terms of measles specifically, make sure they have had a measles vaccine.” Bullis said generally the months of December and January have the most cases of sickness for the overall population, but Ball State is fortunate to be out of session for much of December and some of January. With the worst months of the year in the past and no measles alert from the state, students are most likely in the clear, Bullis said. “Really the sickest months tend to be November and February,” he said. “Across the board in general November tends to be the worst month of the year for Ball State.”
| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The Boy Scouts national executive board is currently mulling a proposal to move away from its no-gays membership policy or create a local option that would give the decision to the individual troops. The board is expected to decide in May. The organization has sent out a questionnaire distributed to 1.1 million adult Scouts that uses fictional situations to discern where Scouting’s membership falls on questions of homosexuality, gays camping with children and gays in church leadership. They are also accepting feedback from local Scouting councils. In the Boy Scouts’ Great Salt Lake Council — one of the largest in the country with 5,500 troops and 73,400 youth — four out of five Scout leaders and parents that responded to a survey said they are opposed to lifting the ban on gays. Nearly half said they would quit the Boy Scouts if the ban on gays is lifted, according to results of a survey of 4,700 adults. Nearly all of the troops in the Great Salt Lake Council are sponsored by The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which teaches its members that marriage is only between a man and a woman and that samesex relationships are sinful. In December, however, the LDS church launched a website encouraging members to be more compassionate in discussions about homosexuality. “It does appear that this is almost a foregone conclusion the way it’s being spoken about here,” said Larabee, of the Utah Pride Center. “That’s very sad for Utah ... They are failing to recognize that they do have gay scouts within their ranks.” Frost said by turning away the offer, they missed an opportunity to bring in more minorities and disenfranchised youth. He insisted that the troop would have followed all of Boy Scouts’ current policies. Larabee said the proposal was not a stunt aimed at making a point. She added that they genuinely wanted to give the 10 boys an opportunity to take advantage of the valuable life skills offered by Scouts. “This is the most important time to really find out what the Boy Scouts believe in as far as supporting youth,” Larabee said.

COUNCIL: Plan to create more walk, bike focus in Village | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “One of the triggers for this whole initiative is the renewed interest which has occurred in development within the Village area,” said Marta Moody, executive director of the Muncie-Delaware County Metropolitan Planning Commission. Moody presented the plan to the city council at Monday evening’s meeting. The Village Overlay District is an area that extends from Ashland Avenue to White River Boulevard in between McKinley Avenue and North Dicks Street. The district also encompasses Jackson Street from McKinley Avenue to the White River Bridge. Some of those developers that expressed interest are Brinshore Development and Investment Property Advisors, a Cincinnatibased company that currently has investments in the Village area. IPA endorsed the overlay plan via a letter, which Moody included in Monday’s proposal. Although investors seems to favor the plan, some residents are concerned over the residential standards that will be imposed through the zoning. The current proposal mandates a parking space restriction that is different than the rest of the city. There would only be a one-half parking space to one bedroom
ratio for residential areas, which would decrease the amount of parking for housing within the district. Current housing code requires landlords to have one parking space per bedroom. “One of the basic principles for this overlay district area is to focus on walkability and bikeability,” Moody said. “In order to do that, you take a look at current parking requirements and basically its departure from traditional requirements.” At-Large counselor Linda Gregory said amendments to the color-coded parking areas would also have to be sought. The plan also includes requirements and standards for landscape, architecture of buildings, sidewalks, alleys and curbs. Each zone is also required to incorporate at least one form of sustainable method of treating rainwater which includes green roofs and porous pavement. “Another big question is ‘Are my taxes going to go up?’ and I say yes, I certainly hope so,” said William Morgan, historic preservation officer and member of the plan’s task force. “Because if this works the way we want it to, the Village area will be a much nicer area for people to live and for people to do business and everybody’s property values will go up.”

When the final buzzer sounded in the loss at Kansas State last Thursday, it stopped being about “this season“ for the Ball State women’s basketball team. It is now about next season. After the loss, coach Brady Sallee admitted thinking about the 2013-14 season is difficult. “It’s hard to even get to that point now,” he said. Ball State’s starting five will all return for the 2013-14 season. “This core group that returns, they did it,” Sallee said. “They’ve been there. They’ve done it. They’ve played at a high level. This experience is going to help tremendously in terms of where we’re going.” Point guard Brandy Woody and forward Katie Murphy will
be seniors next season, while guards Shelbie Justice and Brittany Carter will be juniors. Woody’s play took a step forward in her junior season. She was second on the team in scoring with 10.9 points per game. After a .75 assist-to-turnover ratio in her first two seasons, Woody’s decision-making improved in her third. She posted a 1.26 assist-to-turnover ratio in the 2012-13 season. The highlight of Woody’s season was unquestionably Jan. 23 at Buffalo. She scored a career-high 29 points, recorded 11 rebounds and grabbed seven steals, all in 40 minutes of play. She also went 4-of-8 from 3-point range and 9-of10 from the free-throw line against the Bulls.

The only 2013-14 returning underclassman that was a starter this season will be forward Nathalie Fontaine. Sallee has said repeatedly that Fontaine, the Sweden native, will need to spend a lot of time in the weight room bulking up during the summer for next season, saying she “needs to pay rent in the weight room.” However, her short-term future is up in the air. “They’re begging us right now to make sure she gets home for the summer to play on their under-20s,” Sallee said. “Of course I’m a little bit biased; I think she can get better if she plays here all summer. We’re in a tug-of-war.” The most obvious challenge Fontaine has faced this season
in her transition from playing basketball in Sweden to playing for Ball State is traveling. Fontaine committed 112 turnovers throughout the season, the most on the team. “Now the question is: How do we go about melding the six freshmen with these returning kids to get our team chemistry back to where we’re playing championship basketball?” Sallee said. The most highly-touted of the six incoming recruits is Winchester High School’s Jill Morrison. Morrison was named the 2011-12 Muncie Star Press Athlete of the Year, and she led the state of Indiana in scoring in her junior season with 27.1 points per game. She followed that up with a successful senior campaign, scoring 27.6 points per game. “Clearly the bar has been raised quickly,” Sallee said. “The culture has changed quickly. We’ll have time to start thinking about the future; there’s no doubt that we’re excited about it.”
Ware walks after gruesome injury
Sophomore had 11 points off 7 shots before breaking leg | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Louisville guard Kevin Ware was up and walking on crutches Monday morning, and coach Rick Pitino said his player’s spirits have been boosted by the outpouring of support from friends and fans. Ware isn’t in any pain after a 2-hour surgery Sunday night to repair a horrifying fracture in his right leg. Doctors reset the bone and inserted a rod, and are monitoring him to make sure there’s no infection, Pitino said. “He’s doing terrific, in great spirits,” Pitino, who visited Ware on Sunday night and again Monday morning, said on a conference call. “He’ll be with us in Atlanta.” Ware broke his leg in the first half of Sunday’s Midwest Regional final when he landed awkwardly after trying to contest a 3-point shot, breaking his leg in two places. He was taken off the court on a stretcher as his stunned teammates openly wept. Before he left, Ware urged his teammates to “just win the game,” and all said afterward there was no way they could have let him down. The Cardinals beat Duke 85-63 to reach their second straight Final Four. “That was the first time he just broke down and cried, when he heard the players talking about him,” Pitino said. “Now he’s in very good spirits and anxious to get out
of the hospital and get back with the guys.” They’re anxious to have him back, too. He has the regional championship trophy, which Pitino brought him Sunday night. “I said, ‘All right, just make sure you don’t lose it,’” Pitino said. Ware’s girlfriend stayed at the hospital overnight, and Pitino said Ware’s mother arrived Monday morning As long as there are no complications, Pitino said Ware should return to Louisville on Tuesday. The Cardinals travel to Atlanta on Wednesday night, and Pitino said they expect to have Ware with them. “As you know, Kevin is from Atlanta,” Pitino said. “He gets to go home, be with his family and be with us on the bench.” Ware has played a key role in the Cardinals’ second straight Final Four run, scoring 11 points on 5-for-7 shooting in 25 minutes in the regional semifinal win over Oregon, and on Sunday he was the primary motivator. Before leaving the court, he called his teammates over to prod them to win the game and not worry about him, a message he continued to express at halftime. And he was eager to return to Atlanta, where he played high school basketball. For television viewers, it was a gruesome sight that prompted many to express their sentiments on social media sites. CBS even stopped showing the replay, which was not seen inside Lucas Oil Stadium. For Louisville players and coaches, it was far worse. Guard Russ Smith said he didn’t see the play but he heard the bone snap. And forward
Chane Behanan, Ware’s closest friend, said the sight was almost unimaginable. Pitino, one of college basketball’s top winners, thought he had seen just about everything in the sport until Ware’s injury. “I went over and I was going to help him up and then all of a sudden, I saw what it was and I almost literally threw up,” Pitino said. Ware’s teammates were overcome with emotion, too. Luke Hancock patted Ware on the chest after Ware rolled himself to the sideline and right in front of the Louisville bench. Behanan and several other players sat on the floor as Ware was treated and some, including Behanan, cried. Duke guard Tyler Thornton covered his eyes when he realized what had happened, and Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski even told Pitino that he would agree to let the teams warm up again if they wanted. They didn’t, though Pitino did summon Ware’s teammates so he could speak to them. His message was simple: Win the game. “I said, ‘We’re going to dig in. We’re going to play this game to the end. We’re going to play this game to get him back home,’” Pitino said, explaining his halftime speech. “We’ll get him back home, nurse him to good health and we’re going to get him to Atlanta.” Louisville trainer Fred Hina told Pitino it was the same injury that derailed the Heisman Trophy hopes of running back Michael Bush, who also played at Louisville. Bush recovered from the injury and has had a productive NFL career with
Oakland and Chicago. As it turned out, he was watching. “I just cried,” he wrote on Twitter. “I feel so bad. Flashback of myself. Anyone if he needs anything please let me know.” The reaction was the same everywhere. “We won this for him,” Pitino said. “We were all choked up with emotion for him. We’ll get him back to normal.

nis team fell to No. 27 Notre Dame 5-2 Monday afternoon, snapping its season-best fivematch win streak. The loss dropped the Cardinals to 12-7 while the Fighting Irish rose to 12-7 with the victory. Ball State jumped out to an early lead by winning two out of three doubles matches. Senior Austin Sansone and sophomore Patrick Elliott earned the first point for the Cardinals, winning 8-6 at the No. 3 position. The Irish won the second match before the senior duo of Dalton Albertin and Cliff Morrison earned the point winning 8-6 at the No. 1 spot. The Cardinals were once again without sophomore Ray Leonard who sat out the nonconference match due to his back flaring up in practice. “We had to scramble and make some changes with our doubles lineup as a result of Ray [Leonard] being out,” coach Bill Richards said. Despite Leonard being out, the Cardinals took a muchneeded lead into singles play. That’s when the Irish took control of the match. The Irish swept five of the six singles matches including the top four positions. Irish junior Greg Andrews, ranked No. 109 in this week’s ITA rankings, defeated Morrison 6-2, 6-3 at the No. 1 spot. Andrews used a strong serve and persistent returns to wear down Morrison and force him into mistakes. Albertin put up a fight at the No. 2 position but came up short, losing 6-2, 6-4 to freshman Quentin Monaghan. Albertin led 4-2 in the second set after breaking Monaghan
but a key point penalty was issued to Albertin to start the seventh game. Ball State freshman Imanol Arconada smashed his racket against the ground after losing his match, earning a point penalty. By rule, the penalty is issued to the highest-ranking player that is still on the court, Albertin in this instance. Monaghan took full advantage of the point and broke Albertin to get back on serve. He then won the next three games to earn the match clinching victory for Notre Dame. The Cardinals lone singles point came at the No. 5 position where Elliott earned his second victory of the day by defeating Irish senior Michael Moore 7-6 (7-5), 7-5. Elliott has now won eight consecutive singles matches, with his last loss on Feb. 23 against Michigan State. Richards was given a scare when senior Alexandre Brym went down hard late in his match. Brym stayed down for just under two minutes before returning and finishing his match off. He looked to be nursing his knee once returning but after the match said the injury was not serious. Ball State had several chances to break through but were unable to take advantage as Notre Dame shut the door quickly. “I felt we played pretty well for the most part, the points were a pretty high level of tennis,” Richards said. “They were just enough better where we couldn’t win enough games to give ourselves a shot of pulling off the upset.”
