Hand to interview for Graduate Studies job amid controversy By CM Life Staff Reports news@cm-life.com

An administrator from West Virginia University who is a candidate for Central Michigan University’s Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies Dean is linked to a controversial non-profit group that accepted money from Coca-Cola while promoting the idea that a lack of exercise may have a larger impact on obesity than unhealthy diets. Gregory Hand, West Virginia University special assistant to the Vice President for Health Sciences, will be the final candidate to interview for the position. He will be speaking at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 18 in Park Library Auditorium. The New York Times reported in August 2015 that Coca-Cola gave Hand funding to establish the Global Energy Balance Network — a non-profit group that promoted the view that weight issues were caused more by lack of exercise than unhealthy diets and sugary drinks. The soft drink company gave Hand $806,500 for an “energy flux” study in 2011

and $507,000 to establish the Global Energy Balance Network, according to the Times. “As long as everybody is disclosing their potential conflicts and they’re being managed appropriately, that’s the best that you can Gregory Hand do,” Hand told the Times. “It makes perfect sense that companies would want the best science that they can get.” Vice Provost for Academic Effectiveness Claudia Douglass is leading the search. Douglass declined to be interviewed Wednesday but sent a prepared statement to Central Michigan Life. “CMU always conducts background checks before bringing candidates to campus for formal interviews,” Douglass stated. “The background check on Gregory Hand did raise concerns, but these concerns were effectively addressed by the candidate. As a result, we were confident moving forward with inviting him to campus to interview for this position.” Harvard’s School of Public Health De-

partment of Nutrition Chairman Walter Willett and 34 other researchers wrote to the Times that “the scientific nonsense being peddled by the Coca-Cola-funded Global Energy Balance Network is outrageous.” “The Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee provides compelling evidence for the causal link between sugary drinks and disease, as well as the need for exercise,” they wrote. “Unfortunately, CocaCola and its academic helpers won’t accept the well-documented evidence that sugary drinks

are a major contributor to obesity, heart disease and diabetes.” In June 2016, WVU announced Hand, the founding dean of the School of Public Health at West Virginia University, would step down from that role and serve as special assistant to the Vice President for Health Sciences. His current job is “developing partnerships that enhance the mission and work of health sciences at WVU,” according to a university press release. During Hand’s tenure as dean, the School of Public Health achieved national accreditation for the first time, and expanded its offerings to include an undergraduate program. David Ash, interim Vice President for Research and Dean of Graduate Studies, is also a finalist for the position. On Jan. 9, Ash presented his case for the permanent position. Ash said he wants to improve Central Michigan University’s research standing and broaden the research portfolio.

Trump’s Defense pick is a master of temperance, art of war

MICHIGAN LAW ENFORCEMENT

FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS MICHIGAN

February 18, 2017 O’Kelly’s / Wayside 2000 S. Mission St., Mt. Pleasant 10AM REGISTRATION • 11AM PLUNGE AFTER SPLASH BASH IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING PLUNGE

In the age of Donald Trump, uncertainty and hostility from the outside world are certain. The president-elect stressed pulling out of NATO throughout his campaign, while also denigrating people from the Middle East. The confirmation of retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis as Secretary of Defense may bring a sense of ease to those fearing Trump’s outlandish views on foreign policy. Respectfully referred to as the “Warrior Monk,” Mattis has stood out in his 44 years of service as someone dedicated to the study of war and his devotion to those who serve with him, according to Slate. He is a longtime supporter of NATO and its duty to protect its members against Russia and terrorism. The retired general told the Heritage Foundation in May 2015 that he believes Russia is trying to break NATO apart, and that Trump’s views of Russia and NATO are ill-informed. There is no question that Mattis believes America should be engaged — and aware — of the threats Russia poses to the international community. A Secretary of Defense Mattis would not only be a vocal and tempering voice to Trump’s outspoken admiration of Russia and its President Vladimir Putin, but also Trump’s opposition to NATO. Even as Trump rails against political correctness in Washington’s current policies toward the Middle East, Mattis has taken a markedly different approach. Before leading his Marine division to war in Iraq, he specifically called for all of his troops to undergo cultural sensitivity training. Other Marine Corps groups later adopted this program. Mattis has always been a firm believer that sheer power does not always win wars. This was on clear display when he toured Iraq. On those tours, he frequently told Marines to grow mustaches and beards to look more like the people they were

there to work with. His temperance in the Iraq War was most evident when he told his fellow Marines, “Every time you wave at an Iraqi civilian, al-Qaeda rolls over in its grave,” according to a profile on Mattis published by The Los Angeles Times. This apparent penchant for self-restraint would be a welcome thought in a White House where the prevailing thought is to “bomb the shit out of them.” As an intellectual who is constantly noted for being a voracious reader of history, Mattis believes the only solution to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is through the two-state solution. To him, Israel is damaging and creating an unsustainable situation that threatens the fragile peace talks between the two states. As Trump has called for defunding of the United Nations, after the UN voted to condemn Israel’s building of settlements, Mattis has argued that these settlements hamper the peace talks. It should be noted that Mattis is a vocal supporter of Israel, but he does not let that blind him to the reality that Israel should tone down its claims to land, according to the Times of Israel. Trump foreign policy will be determined by a president-elect who has never had to deal with global crises. That’s why it is so important that Trump surrounds himself with people who have felt the weight of war — and more importantly, those who understand the gravity of leading people to that war. Mattis may not be the only voice to Trump’s ear, but it will be one that is sorely needed.

With a week’s worth of opportunities to get involved in social justice activism, now is the time for students to make their voices heard on campus

OPINIONS

EDITORIAL

n the cusp of the most polarizing transition of presidential power in modern politics, Monday America will celebrate the achievements of arguably our greatest civil rights leader. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was created around the activist’s birthday to celebrate his mission of fighting racial segregation through nonviolent protest. Most commonly remembered for his “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963, King spent the bulk of his life organizing peaceful protests across the country. He became known as the most prominent Civil Rights era activist by attempting to unify a divided country with powerful prose. His answer to segregation, discrimination and violence was to preach nonviolence, compassion and unity. Today, most educational institutions use the national holiday and the week surrounding it to educate younger generations on King’s legacy — and others who are still unaware or misguided on what King stood for. Ahead of King’s holiday, we honor that legacy. Thank you, Dr. King, for your struggle and sacrifice. At Central Michigan University, we pride ourselves in our community’s work to build on that legacy. At the beginning of the 2016-17 academic year, CMU was nationally recognized with a Higher Education Excellence in Diversity award for demonstrating its efforts to make oncampus diversity and inclusion a top priority. Next week, student groups, professors and university offices plan to live up to those ideals. A host of events highlighting King’s contributions to racial equality are scheduled all week. For busy college students, it’s easy to see Mon-

day as nothing more than a day off of classes — an extension of the weekend after syllabus week. But as students representing a new generation of change makers, we must stay vigilant in propelling King’s vision for common ground across all demographics, colors and creeds. We encourage CMU students to take part in MLK Week activities, no matter their racial backgrounds or political ideologies. There are endless opportunities to continue the historic momentum King started. While we have a day off on Monday to honor

King, we encourage students to use that day to keep fighting for equality. We ask CMU students to question their commitments to social justice. Will you take part in the peace march on campus Monday, and walk with fellow community members in the name of civil rights for all men and women? Will you work to protect the freedoms of both birthright citizens and immigrants combined? We hope your answer is yes. Our most recent presidential election showed the nation that many people in this country are

failing to grapple with a stark reality: Soon, America will no longer be a predominantly white nation. This shift toward a multicultural society is reflected in our microcosm at CMU with the university’s diverse 2016-17 freshman class. With more people of color than ever before, in a chilling climate of polarization and echo chambers, we must intentionally try harder to seek the common ground sought by King and others. Standing idly by is no longer an option we can afford.

Trash, housing violations discussed at City Commission By Greg Horner News Editor news@cm-life.com

A city commissioner called a proposed fine structure for rental owners “a joke” Monday during the Mount Pleasant City Commission meeting. The commission postponed the approval of an ordinance amendment that would fine rental owners who fail to obtain a housing license. A housing license shows that a rental owner has provided the “minimum requirements for the health, safety and welfare of the general public and the owners and occupants of certain residential buildings,” according to the Mount Pleasant Housing Licensing Code. The new ordinance would charge violators $50 for a first offense, $250 for a second offense and $500 for each subsequent offense. An offense would be imposed every day a rental owner fails to obtain a permit. Some commissioners said the fines for the proposal are too lenient.

“If you want to make a statement and stop the illegal rentals out there you have to set it in stone and make it hard,” said Commissioner James Holton. A work session will be held for commissioners to alter the amendment and come to an agreement. A public hearing will likely be held after revisions are made. An ordinance amendment that would restrict trash pickup in residential areas and adjacent commercial areas was also introduced. The ordinance would limit pickup in residential and adjacent commercial areas to no earlier than 7 a.m. and no later than 8 p.m. A public hearing to discuss the amendment will be held on Jan. 23. Holton said it would be “impossible” to enforce the proposed limits. “I’ll be looking forward to the public hearing because my stance is that this is absolutely cumbersome and hard to enforce,” he said. The committee also scheduled a public hearing for Feb. 13 to discuss the potential rezoning of the former SBX Bookstore building.

Eight students walked into the first Student Government Association meeting of the spring semester on Monday as nominees. They left as senators. In addition to swearing in new senators, SGA’s budget of about $17,000 was approved during the meeting held at the Bovee University Center. The role of the Student Budget Allocation Committee, which has two open seats and helps decide what funds are allocated to registered student organizations, was also addressed. The eight students elected comprise: • Ludington junior Aubry Healy • Bad Axe sophomore Galen Miller • Saginaw junior Bryan Fettig • Sterling Heights freshman Christina Yunan • Ithaca freshman Emily Reeves • Muskegon junior Alyssa Ramirez • Farmington Hills sophomore Mary Chiejina • Elkton junior Connor Ewald Each nominee was able to nominate themselves or be nominated by any person in SGA. The nominations were then required to receive a second vote of confidence and acceptance by the nominee to be considered. Before they were nominated, each senator gave a one-minute speech followed by two questions from members of SGA. Fettig was the only exception as he could not speak after oral surgery. Biernat delivered his speech for him. Nominees needed just one vote to be elected

to the senate. “Some of the goals I have for them is to come up with great ideas that will be beneficial to everyone here on campus,” SGA president Jazmin Biernat said. “I want to take these new leaders and push them towards the great leaders they can become to help anyone here on campus.” Ramirez stood before the packed auditorium and described giving her speech “nerve-wracking,” adding she had stage fright. After her testimony, which involved the push of a gender and sexuality center on campus, she found out she was elected. “I want to make a difference on campus and in the community and eventually further my political career,” Ramirez said. “I want to get my foot in the door and get a start.” Those interested in joining the Student Budget Allocation Committee can email SBAC Chairperson Matthew Boak at boak1mc@cmich.edu. The committee meets at 5 p.m. each Tuesday. The House re-elected Belding junior Cody Van Buren as its House Leader, while the senators elected Onaway senior Emilee Madison as its Senate Leader. Owens, who was the Senate Leader last semester, said she is excited to see what Madison can do in her former role. She also wants to see the new senators pick a project they’re passionate about and work on it this semester. “It’s exciting seeing new faces because new faces means new ideas,” Owens said. “It will be really nice to see what they do with the semester.” The next SGA meeting will occur Jan. 23.

MLK Celebration Week to feature seven events over five days By Evan Sasiela News Editor

“I think sometimes we look back at the civil rights movement and it can be intimidating to think about making a big change, the whole day of service reminds people they can do little things like this to make a change in their community.”

news@cm-life.com

Tradition marches on with the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Week starting Jan. 16. Nearly 54 years after King made his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, Central Michigan University will honor the former civil rights activist with seven events from Jan. 16 to Jan. 20 presented by Multicultural Academic Student Services (MASS). Jonathan Glenn, MASS assistant director of scholarships and mentoring, said while the university is closed for the holiday — it is not a day off. The celebration begins with the annual CommUnity Peace Brunch on Monday at 10 a.m. in Finch Fieldhouse. Glenn said about 700 people attended the brunch last year. The brunch will feature guest speaker Russell Harris, who serves as principal of the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy in Detroit. In addition, freshman Caitlin Crutcher, senior Johnnie Buck and graduate student Dillon Dillard will compete in the annual oratorical contest. The trio will give speeches with education as the theme, Glenn said. Each will receive a plaque and stipend, but the winner of the crowd vote will receive the highest dollar amount. The brunch will transition into the MLK Day of Service in the Bovee University Center, an event sponsored by the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center. Robert Zinger, a graduate assistant for campus programs in the Volunteer Center, said participants will have an opportunity to register for service projects on OrgSync before they are passed off to brunch attendees. Registration is first come, first serve. Zinger said volunteers will meet at noon in the UC Rotunda to learn about the day and who’s benefiting from the projects before breaking off into groups. Day of Service options include making fleece blankets for local foster care children through the Department of Health and Human Services and transforming the Volunteer Center glass walls into an “I Have a Dream” mural, Zinger said. “I think sometimes we look back at the civil rights movement and it can be intimidating to think about making a big change,” Zinger said. “The whole day of service reminds people they can do little things like this to make a change in their community.” The day will finish with the CommUnity Peace March & Vigil at 3 p.m. The route will start at the University Center before the group marches toward downtown Mount Pleasant, where a vigil will take place, said D’Wayne Jenkins, MASS assistant direc-

tor for cultural programming and mentoring. MASS will screen the 2014 film “Selma” at noon Tuesday in the Center for Inclusion and Diversity Bovee UC, Room 108. Jenkins said a discussion will follow. “It’s one of those midday things where it gives students something to do if they have some break time in between classes,” Jenkins said. “I would love to see them come out.” Jelani Cobb, the week’s keynote speaker, will address students and faculty at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the UC Rotunda. Cobb is a staff writer at The New Yorker and a journalism professor at Columbia University. On Thursday, “A Night of Reflection: Inspired Poems and Spoken Word,” is slated for 6 p.m. in the Center for Inclusion and Diversity. The event will feature poems from CMU students and staff, Glenn said. The celebration concludes with the Staff/Student Charity Basketball game at 6 p.m. Friday in the Student Activity Center Small Sports Forum. Donations are accepted and will be donated to a charity that has yet to be determined, Jenkins said. He said last year’s proceeds were donated to aid those affected by the Flint water crisis. The week is unique because it coincides with the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, who will be sworn into office on Jan. 20. Glenn said he believes if King were alive today, he feels he would work with Trump and advises others to do the same. “Once (Trump is sworn in) on Jan. 20, I believe alongside him there will be a lot of people who (understand) he’s our president now,” he said. “Let’s pray for the best for him. Let’s hope he does his job well and let’s wish him the best.”

Jenkins said he hopes to see a larger turnout than last year at the brunch and is hopeful for a good week overall.

“Sometimes in today’s world we lose sight of what’s going on,” he said. “I think it’s a beautiful thing that it’s at the beginning of the semester so it motivates us throughout the year.

Guevara leads women’s basketball back to MAC glory while inspiring players, next generation of coaches

By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter

Watch on cm-life.com

hen Sue Guevara isn’t on the sideline calling plays or on the road meeting potential recruits, she’s staring out her office window — peering at an image hanging on the wall in an athletic building hallway. The image is a picture of the Central Michigan women’s basketball team from 2013, the year it won the Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship. Guevara calls it one of her greatest accomplishments as a head coach. “I want to see more of those,” Guevara said. The Chippewas came close a year ago. CMU fell to Buffalo 73-71 in overtime in last March’s MAC Tournament Championship game. This season, the team returned the bulk of its roster and is picked by the media to win the MAC Tournament this time around. The Chippewas started their 2016-17 season 11-4 overall and 3-0 in the MAC — as of Wednesday — winning those games by an average of 19 points. On Jan. 4, Guevara coached her 300th game for the Chippewas in an 89-62 win over Akron. After the victory, Guevara was asked about her tenure at CMU. Her response gave observers a peek into who she is and how she feels about CMU and its students.

“I am very grateful for the administration.” she said. “Ten years ago, they took a chance on a recycled coach. They’ve been so supportive and I’ve been very fortunate to have good staffs. We’ve been able to recruit good kids, and they have really made it easy.” Ask anyone she’s worked with, or coached, and you’ll get a picture of a woman who routinely puts others before herself. It’s one of the reasons Guevara has become the coach she is now.

DEVELOPING A PASSION Today she eats, breathes and sleeps all things Chippewas basketball. But Guevara’s career didn’t begin with a love for hoops and hardwood. Both of Guevara’s parents were softball coaches. That was one of the main reasons she started off her coaching career in a dugout instead of sitting on the bench. “Way back in the day, I was the head softball coach of Saginaw Valley (State),” Guevara said. “I liked it, but I started to look into coaching basketball. My first thought was, ‘You don’t have to deal with bad weather.’ I just happened to be fortunate enough to land an assistant (basketball) coaching job at Saginaw Valley.” The rest is history.

Aside from her gig at Saginaw Valley State, Guevara was an assistant coach at Ball State, Ohio State, Michigan State and Auburn. The Saginaw native was also the associate head coach at MSU for one season before landing the head coach position at the University of Michigan in 1996. After coaching at Auburn from 2004-2007, Guevara wasn’t looking for a new challenge. If you ask her, Guevara will tell you the decision to lead the

Chippewas wasn’t hers to make. “I didn’t pick CMU — they picked me,” she said. “At the time, I was well aware of Central Michigan. They gave me a chance, and it was an opportunity for me to come back home. I was aware of the glory days at CMU, so I thought if I got the chance to get an interview with them that maybe I could help bring them back.” After 10 years at CMU, Guevara has helped turn the Chippewas into one of the top teams in the MAC. Under Guevara’s guidance, the Chippewas have won 153 games — including 116 wins dur-

ing their last six seasons. CMU has eight seasons of 20 or more wins, five of which have been with Guevara at the helm. To her credit, Guevara has had inimitable success, but it didn’t happen overnight.

RESTORING THE PROGRAM Before she became one of the most prolific women’s

basketball coaches in CMU history, Guevara had to rebuild a team that went 63-107 in six seasons under former coach Eileen Kleinfelter. It took just three seasons for Guevara to turn it around. During her first season at CMU, the Chippewas finished 7-22 and 2-13 in MAC play. They were also bounced in the first round of the MAC tournament. During those three seasons, Guevara’s overall record was 37-54. Still, she continued to recruit talented players and made moves that brought her closer to that championship mo-

Bradford finished her career as the Chippewas’ all-time leader in points, rebounds and blocks. She became the second MAC player to be drafted into the WNBA when she was selected seventh overall in the 2015 WNBA Draft. Assistant coach Raina Harmon has spent the past five years on Guevara’s staff and has watched her bring the program renewed prominence. “Coach Guevara is the heart and soul of this team,” Harmon said. “She can get any of these players to run through a wall for her. She does a really good job of having a personal relationship, which causes

ment — the one she sees when she looks out into the hall. The 2013 season gave CMU its first MAC Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament berth since 1984. “Winning that championship and getting to the tournament was a great feeling for not just our team, but the entire program as a whole,” Guevara said. “It’s the kind of feeling you work all of the days and hours in the gym for, to get back to games like that one.” Even with a “MAC Coach of the Year” award under her belt, Guevara frequently minimizes her role in those wins. She always opts to praise her players first. “I really believe a lot of it comes from the recruits we have been able to land here and the players we have found all over the state of Michigan and elsewhere,” she said. “When the program started to gain more visible success, we were able to capitalize and get the players we wanted.” With Guevara leading the team, CMU hasn’t had a lack of talent. She has coached three MAC Freshmen of the Year recipients, four different Sixth Player of the Year award win-

first coaching job from Guevara in 2008. “She’s my basketball mom,” Ferrara said. “There is no one better in this profession than her at empowering her staff and her players. She has a special gift of making everyone feel special.” For three years under Guevara, Ferrara helped diagram the offense she still runs today. It has been one of the top scoring offenses in the country. If he is advanced to head coach in the future, he believes the things he learned under Guevara will help him for years to come. “She said, ‘Mr. Bill, I’m training you to be a head coach,’” he said. “She allowed me to think like a head coach. I’ll always empower my assistants (when I become a coach) like she did for me.” CMU Associate Head Coach Heather Oesterle played under Guevara at Michigan from 19982002. She has served on Guevara’s staff since 2010, and said Guevara has helped mold her for when she is awarded a team of her own. “She taught me about the game,” Oesterle said. “I felt like she always had my back. She was hard on me, but it was because she expected a lot out of me. I learned from her that you have

A PLAYER’S COACH Senior forward Jewel Cotton, who has been with Guevara for five years, said although she has learned a great deal under Guevara, she believes she isn’t done receiving advice. “I’m still learning and she is still teaching, that is one of the great things about her,” said the Harper Woods native. “As a fifth-year senior, she still is giving me new ways to learn. She’s a great teacher.” Cotton said another strength of Guevara’s is her ability to give attention to every individual on the team. “I love her fire. (Coach Guevara) knows our potential and knows us well,” she said. “She wants to make sure that everyone on the team feels like they have a role and is important to this team. What’s great about her is she values everyone on this team individually.” Her main focus now is seeing her players walk across a different kind of hardwood court when

they receive their diplomas during May commencement ceremonies. “What I look at is how we continue to graduate confident, strong women and that is what this is really all about,” she said. “Not just winning championships, but women who are ready to leave their mark on the world.” At 62-years-old, Guevara said she doesn’t know when she’ll step away from the game. In June, she signed a contract extension through 2021. As she looks at the future of the program, Guevara said the foundation is set for continued prosperity. With the Chippewas strong start to this season, Guevara would want nothing more than to look out her office window and see another MAC title photo next to the one she already has. “I think we are in pretty good shape,” she said. “We have really good student athletes. Our upcoming recruiting class is good, and I truly see us competing for more championships.”

University Health to offer free STD testing By Brianne Twiddy News Editor news@cm-life.com

As an HIV counselor, Lori Wangberg often hears students mention reading about sexually transmitted disease symptoms online, They “just know” they have it and get “worked up.” Health Services will begin offering free STD testing every third Wednesday of the month in Foust 205 starting Jan. 18. Wangberg, a health educator and HIV Test Counselor at University Health Services, said the STD testing process helps calm those fears and gets questions answered by professionals instead of “just a random person on the internet,” she said. “Prices can be a barrier for students. Another barrier is a lot of students are on their parents health insurance, so they’re more reluctant to get tested,” Wangberg said. “They don’t want their parents to know, even if (the students are) adults making their own decisions.” STD testing is offered on other days for a cost. The Health Department received a grant for the outreach program and, through a partnership, extended the program to CMU, said Erik Robinette, Director of Faculty Group Practice.

No additional funds flow through the clinic as all aspects of testing, resulting and reporting are the responsibility of the Health Department. “It’s been a of couple years since we had free testing,” Wangberg said. “We were able to get it approved late in the fall semester. We’re hoping it’ll be an ongoing thing, but we aren’t sure money-wise.” Center for Disease Control recommends annual testing for sexually active students, but Wangberg said the frequency should increase if they have multiple or anonymous partners. According to the Center for Disease control, the most common STDs exchanged between students is chlamydia, HPV and herpes. Wangberg said students don’t get tested often enough — a problem she doesn’t understand with the amount of clinics in the area. “Everything is confidential when you go into a clinic, but there may be that misconception that someone will find out. Something cool about the testing is that when they come in, they don’t only get tested for STD’s, but you get educated,” she said. “It’s about assessing risks and educating (students) so they make better choices. It’s not judgemental.”

Once completed, the student sits down with a nurse to ask questions, discuss the last time they had unprotected sex and how to be safer in the future. STD testing is “clientcentered,” said Wangberg, meaning students’ questions are answered personally. Once that component is done, the students undergo a blood or urine test. “(Good STD prevention is) getting testing done. It’s free now, so you get your STUDENT SEMESTER SPECIAL:

vices are hoping for an increase in students getting tested. “This is not the first time this type of service has been provided by the Health Department, and (we) understand that past efforts were well received and utilized,” Robinette said. “Offering free testing allows patients yet another way to be able to access care when they have no insurance or underinsured.”

Men’s basketball still seeking first conference win By Kullen Logsdon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Keno Davis has said all season it takes a different player to step up each game to be successful. In the Central Michigan men’s basketball team’s first 13 games, the head basketball coach was getting just that. Junior guard Marcus Keene and senior guard Braylon Rayson combined for 60 points on Tuesday in an 89-85 loss to Akron. The next-highest Chippewa scorer was Luke Meyer with only seven points. In the second game of the year, freshman forward David DiLeo came off the bench and scored 17 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and had four steals in a road win at Tennessee Tech. Senior Josh Kozinski led the team to a close win over Chicago State on Dec. 30 with 20 points. Junior forward Cecil Williams and freshman forward Kevin McKay

have had their moments this season and helped the team to victory in big games. However, since Mid-American Conference play started Jan. 3, the Chippewas haven’t had a consistent scoring option outside of junior point guard Marcus Keene — who leads the nation with 29.3 points per game — and senior shooting guard Braylon Rayson (18.7). The top-scoring duo in the country have led the team all season, but had teammates step up when needed earlier. The Zips, on the other hand, had four players score in double digits. Unlike CMU, Akron appeared to have a different player step up when one guy would go cold. Davis said Keene and Rayson have played so well that it is difficult to take the ball out of their hands, but he believes his team has that third option in terms of scoring. “I think we have it. I think we found it. It’s just right now, Keene and Rayson

are playing at such a high level that their shots are sometimes better than the next,” Davis said. “DiLeo has been scoring for us, Cecil is a guy that can score for us. There’s a variety of guys that can help. As most teams are narrowing their rotation, we are looking to expand ours.”

LACK OF SIZE Another problem that appears to be hindering the Chippewas is a lack of size in the front court. Meyer (6-foot-10, 220 pounds) and forward DaRohn Scott (6-foot-9, 230) are both tall, but don’t have the body size as many other big men in the MAC. The two were particularly at a disadvantage on Tuesday against Akron’s center Isaiah Johnson (6-foot-10, 290). Johnson used his size and appeared to get whatever he wanted around the hoop on his way to a 33-point, ninerebound performance. “Luke and DaRohn are getting much better, but you see that player and the im-

pact he has on the team,” Davis said. “Luke and DaRohn are only going to get better as players and learn from this game.”

TOLEDO The Chippewas will attempt to end their conference slide at 7 p.m. Friday when they host Toledo at McGurik Arena. The Rockets come in at 9-7 and 2-1 in MAC play. The Rockets lost to West-

ern Michigan 90-74 Tuesday. Toledo is led by guard Johnathon Williams, second in the MAC in scoring at 20.5 points per game. UT also has high scorers in Steve Taylor Jr. (15) and Jaelan Sanford (13.6). “We got to play hard and focus on the task,” Rayson said. “We have to play 40 minutes. That’s all we are thinking about right now.”
