Regents raise tuition, fees during spring break by Luke Holmen
TUNNEL VISION
holmen@unm.edu
During spring break, the Board of Regents proposed an initial budget which called for an $77 increase in student fees on top of the increase recommended by the Student Fee Review Board and the Strategic Budget Leadership Team. The new budget also calls for a 3-percent increase in tuition. SFRB Chair and GPSA President Katie Richardson said the regents went behind the backs of students by raising tuition and fees during spring break. “The regents tried to pull one over students by suggesting a fee increase during spring break when everyone is out of town,” she said. “Not a single student was in the room at the time. It’s outrageous that the regents would suggest an arbitrary and unfounded fee increase over the recommendations of students and the SFRB and the SBLT.” During the regents’ meeting on March 12, the board discussed the proposed student fees submitted by the SFRB, calling for an increase of $77 from the $503.20 fees recommended by the SFRB. This would bring fees to $580 and the increase would be split between Athletics and UNM Libraries, according to the board. Regent Gene Gallegos said the increase in fees will support the availability of journal subscriptions, computers and research technology that UNM students need to graduate. Richardson said these expenses should not be paid by student fees. “Students recommended that fee increases should cover a 24 hour (library),” she said. “Journal subscriptions essential to research at UNM and student education … should be funded by appropriations from the state or by tuition, not student fees.” President David Schmidly told the Albuquerque Journal that UNM needs to maintain its competitive Division I sports teams. “We are underinvested in terms of what we’re doing with student fees and Athletics, and I know it’s a lot to

ask the students to give more, but we have to think about this not only in the short term — we have to think about this in the long term,” he said. “And I would hate to see us begin to drop sports.” But Richardson said the University needs to focus on academics. “The fee applications of Athletics did not remotely justify an $77 increase,” she said. “Fees for Athletics cover student tickets. More fees to Athletics would only be wasted on covering the more than $1 million in
departmental debt.” SBLT representatives said the tuition increase would help pay for a one-time 1.25 percent increase in pay for instructors, and pay a portion of the $4.2 million required to hire new faculty as part of Provost Chaouki Abdallah’s five-year academic plan. The plan would also pay for a $1.5 million loan to Athletics in an effort to eliminate about $1 million in departmental debt. The increase of $2.9 million in tuition would cost full-time, in-state
undergrads about $87 based on current tuition rates. In town hall meetings sponsored by GPSA and ASUNM earlier in the semester, some UNM students said they would not be able to attend next year if tuition increased by more than $100. UNM student Thomas Rogers said he may not be able to continue to attend UNM if tuition continues to rise. “I came here this year as an freshmen because UNM has a lot more to offer than CNM, but to be
honest I may go to CNM next year and get all of my core classes out of the way,” he said. “It’s just ridiculous how much costs are rising when I can get the same classes done for less than half the cost.” The regents will continue discussing the budget for the University this Friday and finalize the budget April 27. Members of the Board of Regents were unavailable for comment as of Sunday afternoon.

Lindquist, the director of this program and one of two faculty sponsors for the trip, said students dedicated themselves to hard work during a time that is normally a break in academic life. She said the reward they find is written on the faces of those they help. Student Nate Faust-Shucker said the woman whose house the volunteers helped repair was incredibly grateful for the volunteers’ time. “This house was in a neighborhood surrounded by finished houses but this one was just so bare … it wasn’t fair that her house is not done while everyone else’s is,” he said. “She (the owner of the house) was so emotional and grateful for us to be there to help her out.” Faust-Shucker said the house was not finished by the time they left, but
Students visit New Orleans for charity during break gutz55@unm.edu
Spring break is a time for rest, but several dedicated students volunteered their time to build a house for a woman whose home was destroyed in New Orleans. The second UNM Alternative Spring Break offered students a chance to volunteer and give back to the New Orleans community for five days last week. UNM teamed up with the St. Bernard Program, a nonprofit organization dedicated to disaster relief, to rebuild destroyed homes in New Orleans that are still in ruins eight years after Hurricane Katrina. This year the volunteers helped rebuild Pamela Clark’s house by putting up sheetrock, painting walls, and decorating the interior of the home. Lisa

Modified chile irks devotees by Victoria Carreon vcarreon@unm.edu
Now that New Mexico State University owns a patent for genetically modified chile, the debate over genetically modified organisms is heating up. NMSU received $1 million from the state Legislature in between 2008 and 2012 to experiment with modifying chile through biochemical and genetic research. “It’s just research in basic biochemistry,” says Champa Sengupta-Gopalan who works on the project at NMSU. “We’re looking at how we can protect chile plants, how we can increase nutrition properties, characterizing genes and what makes these plants resilient.” According to Sengupta-Gopalan, the research at NMSU has developed an improved plant. Genetic modifications produce larger plants that are more resistant to pesticides, herbicides and extreme temperatures. However, some groups are against the new plant. UNM students are volunteering with the Save New Mexico Seeds, a coalition of farmers, citizens and organizations concerned about the intro-

but thanks to the volunteers’ help, the house should be done going through final repairs and be habitable by April 19. Last year, three UNM students and a graduate intern went to New Orleans. This year, the number of students who went to New Orleans tripled and the volunteers raised $300 from a car-wash fundraiser to donate to the St. Bernard Program. Faust-Shucker, who went on the trip this year for the second time, said

duction of genetically engineered chile to New Mexico. Save New Mexico Seeds is attempting to shut down the market for genetically modified chile, which they say could harm the local crop said William Thomson, copresident of the group. “The farmer is liable to lawsuit from the person who owns the patent for the genetically engineered crop and it also destroys the heritage breed that has been bred over a long period of time,” Thomson said. The introduction of genetically modified chile into the market would require New Mexican chile be certified by NMSU, the patent holder of the new chile. The issue of pollination and patents could create several problems for small growers in the state, according to Thomson. The group is working on a petition to deliver to local businesses to demonstrate that consumers want to keep chile on the market in New Mexico unmodified. Thomson said that the group has collected about 2000 signatures so far. The signatures are collected on individual cards that will then be taken to businesses that sell chile. The card reads, “As a consumer of
your chile products, I am against the development of genetically engineered (GE) chile.” It also reads, “GE chile could contaminate our native and modern chile varieties that are loved by locals and tourists.” Vendors who agree not to sell the chile will be given a decal as “a symbolic way that businesses can show they don’t want genetically modified chile,” Thomson said. Thomson said that consumers do not seem to want modified chile, citing an ongoing KOAT 7 poll in which 83 percent of people said they would not eat it. “Genetic chile talks about the cultural imperialism of a company coming in and patenting a variety of chile and is sort of threatening New Mexican heritage,” Thomson said. Thomson said the goal is to stop funding from the state legislature supporting the research of modified chile. “We really think the community is behind us, and the other goal is just education about what’s going on with chile, but more generally what is going on with genetically engineered crops and the industrial food system,” Thomson said.
traveling to New Orleans last year made the devastation caused by Katrina a reality. “It opened my eyes knowing Hurricane Katrina actually happened eight years ago, and the city still has so many problems,” he said. “It was overwhelming to see all the destroyed houses.” Student Amber Aragon said the volunteers worked about 30 hours during the week. “When we got back from work,
we just ate and went to sleep; we were so tired.” But Aragon said the trip wasn’t all hard work. When the volunteers weren’t repairing houses, they were immersing themselves in the culture of New Orleans. The itinerary included a haunted-house tour, a voodoo tour, as well as opportunities to shop and eat out at local restaurants. Students each paid $520 to go on the trip, which included transportation, food and lodging.

COLUMN
Attacks on Fluke sign of US misogyny By Jason Darensburg Daily Lobo columnist
Why is the greatest nation on earth still debating sexual politics? U.S. political discourse is becoming dominated by bitter debates over personal morality and “family values” at the expense of real, substantive issues. The recent controversy surrounding Rush Limbaugh’s comments regarding the testimony of Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke at a House Oversight hearing is another classic example of American prudishness and religious ideology attempting to disrupt the democratic process. It’s also a troubling indicator of how much backlash still exists in this country over the sexual revolution of the late sixties. Ms. Fluke’s testimony unleashed a firestorm of hate and condemnation from shock-jock Rush Limbaugh and others — an illuminating example of the deep, lingering misogyny so prevalent among the country’s neoconservatives. Despite Limbaugh’s pathetic attempt to apologize for his “choice of words,” his latest hate screed is, unfortunately, yet another case of “he’s just saying what we’re all thinking” for many Americans. There was nothing shocking or even mildly controversial about any of Fluke’s testimony, but originally she wasn’t even permitted to speak before the committee. Three Democrats walked out of the hearing to protest Republican chairman Darrell Issa’s initial refusal to allow any women to testify in favor of the Obama administration’s contraception rule. The panel was made up exclusively of men representing conservative religious organizations: Lutheran and Baptist clergymen were joined by an Orthodox rabbi and a Roman Catholic bishop. This is 2012. Birth control is used by the vast majority of American women, whether they’re Democrats, Republicans, college students, doctors, professors, Catholics, Jews or atheists. Yet Limbaugh spent three days defaming Fluke just because she believes that birth control should be considered basic health care. “What does that make her?” Rush asked his audience. “It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She’s having so much sex she can’t afford contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.” If Rush Limbaugh and his listeners consider Sandra Fluke a slut for simply advocating birth control, they obviously have a pretty low opinion of women in general. No surprise there. It wasn’t just Limbaugh on the attack, however, and, sadly, it wasn’t just men.
—Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin called Fluke a “femme-agoge tool.” —Jawa Report posted a story about Fluke with a picture of a tattoo that reads “Semen Demon.” —Popular hate-blogger Pam Geller was even worse than Limbaugh. She wrote that Fluke is “banging it five times a day” and that “calling this whore a slut was a softball.” —Don Irvine from Accuracy in Media called her a “skank.” —Blogger Ace of Spades called Fluke a “shiftless rent-a-cooch from East Whoreville.” Does anyone really think that attacking women is a viable political strategy? And since when have so many women joined the misogynist cause? Is there such a thing as a “self-loathing female”? Case in point: the odious Liz Trotta, one of Fox News’ most outspoken pundits. Last month, she attacked the Department of Defense for proposed spending increases on support programs for victims of sexual assault — the majority of whom are women. Later in the broadcast, Trotta reacted angrily to a Pentagon report showing a 64% increase in violent sexual assaults in the military since 2006. “Well, what did they expect?” she asked. “These people are in close contact.” Public statements like this — while always quickly retracted — reveal a lot about the mentality of the ideologues currently waging the war against women. Trotta later tried to blame “feminists” for blowing her comments out of proportion. Huh? It’s depressing that women are the target of hate and suspicion simply because they possess wombs. Suppressing the rights of women is morally wrong — whether it’s the Taliban or Christian fundamentalists. America could be entering a new dark age where women’s reproductive rights are once again a political battlefield. The impassioned, tearful arguments used to be over a woman’s legal right to have an abortion. Now they’re going after contraception? How can birth control still be an issue in this day and age? I find it ironic that politicians who are so viscerally opposed to “big government” have absolutely no problem with the government’s intrusion into the most intimate, personal business of its citizens when it comes to women’s reproductive choices. But while many Americans hold deeply conservative views regarding so-called “family values,” it’s clear that sex has never played a bigger role in our society. It’s everywhere — on TV, in movies, magazines, music videos, etc. — but
we are still a sexually repressed nation. This dichotomy has created an unhealthy and negative impression in this country that sex is somehow “dirty” or unwholesome. In America, the naked human body is considered inappropriate, yet treating women as sex objects is perfectly acceptable. In Europe and much of the rest of the world, television shows — even commercials — feature full-frontal nudity and no one bats an eye. Americans are always shocked to learn that the civilized world doesn’t really consider sex that big of a deal. It’s simply a natural part of a healthy, normal life. In America, a national uproar was caused by the accidental exposure of Janet Jackson’s nipple for .07 of a second at the Super Bowl. Due to the potential psychological damage to America’s youth caused by that tragic event, huge fines were levied against the network by the FCC, and all “live” broadcasts on U.S. television must now be delayed 5 seconds. In 2007, a theater in Florida was forced to change the display on their marquee for the production of “The Vagina Monologues.” The reason? A woman complained that she was “offended” because she had to explain the play’s title to her niece, who had asked her, “What’s a vagina?” as they drove by. The theater owners changed the play’s title to “The Hoohaa Monologues” in order to avoid any further controversy. Keep in mind, this complaint came from a woman who was too offended to discuss a very important body part she presumably shares with her own niece. Clearly, the sexual revolution still has a long way to go in this country. Utah recently passed a law that bans any sex education which mentions homosexuality, birth control techniques or any discussion of sex outside marriage. Instead, schools will be required to give “abstinence only” sex education or refrain from mentioning the subject at all. In Texas, Gov. Rick Perry cut Planned Parenthood out of the state’s women’s health program. The state senate in Virginia just passed a law requiring women to have an ultrasound before having an abortion. Originally, the law also mandated a vaginal probe aimed at detecting a heartbeat in the fetus. To counter the ultrasound bill, a female lawmaker introduced an amendment that would have required men to undergo a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before getting prescriptions for Viagra or other erectile dysfunction drugs. The bill was narrowly defeated by a margin of 21-19. Apparently, there just aren’t enough women in the Virginia Legislature to make the point.

Badgers corner Vanderbilt by Nathan Farmer

Men’s Basketball
defeated Air Force 79-64, UNLV 72-67 & San Diego State 68-59 to win MWC Tournament Long Beach State 75-68 in NCAA Tournament
Down two with six seconds left, Vanderbilt’s John Jenkins put up a 3-pointer that would have won his team the game, but it didn’t go in. No. 4 Wisconsin came out with the 60-57 victory over No. 5 Vanderbilt in the third round of the NCAA tournament on Saturday in The Pit. Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan said his team was lucky Jenkins missed that last-second shot. “That was as wide open of a shot that we gave up all game,� Ryan said. “It just didn’t happen to go down.� In the first half, Wisconsin’s AllAmerican guard Jordan Taylor struggled with just five points, and shooting 2-6. It didn’t matter, as the rest of the team shot 53 percent. Vanderbilt’s Brad Tinsley hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the half, to cut the Badgers’ lead to 32-31. Ryan said his team was successful because they don’t rely on one person to score. “We have unselfish guys who understand what we have here at
W. Basketball
Wisconsin,� he said. “I think our team has been really good at that.� Vanderbilt’s Jeffery Taylor, a native of New Mexico, didn’t have a point in the first half, but hit a basket 19 seconds into the second half to give his team its first lead of the game. The Commandeers then fell apart. They turned the ball over on four straight possessions as Wisconsin rattled off eight straight points to go up 40-33. Vanderbilt stayed in the game and whittled the Badgers’ lead to just one with 3:20 to go and went ahead 57-56 from Festus Ezeli’s layup with 2:21 left. That would be the last time Vanderbilt would score. Wisconsin responded with an immediate 3-pointer from Jordan Taylor to take the lead for good, as Jenkins’ last-second, game-winning shot failed to go in. Wisconsin now advances to the Sweet 16 next week to take on No. 1 Syracuse. Jordan Taylor said since the end of last year, he knew this team would make the Sweet 16. “Last summer, before the season
started, we knew we had it coming,� he said. “We had a pretty balanced scoring attack. We felt like we had guys that could put the ball in the hole.� The Badgers only had eight turnovers to Vanderbilt’s 12. Wisconsin took 33 3-pointers, but only made 10 of them and shot 42 percent for the game. Vanderbilt shot 44 percent. Wisconsin had five players in double figures, with Jared Berggren adding 12 to Jordan Taylor’s game-high 14. It was Taylor’s 30th game this season with 10 or more points. Ezeli finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds off the bench for the Commandeers and Jenkins chipped in with 13. Jeffrey Taylor finished with nine, well below his average of 16.3 per game. Jeffrey Taylor said Wisconsin didn’t play good defense on him, and he said he just wasn’t finding a way to hit his shots. “I think it was more of a matter of the ball not going in,� he said. “All of my shots pretty much felt good. They were just a little bit short or a little bit too long.�
four straight 3-pointers and went on a 16-3 run to win. During the regular season, UNM lost seven games by five points or fewer, and against No. 5 Boise State in the semifinal, it looked like it was going to be eight. Again, UNM surprised everyone with a last-second block from Torrance to give them a 51-50 win and carry the Lobos to the final against No. 1 SDSU. In the final, SDSU was the better team, but the Lobos continued to fight and were only down four in the second half. The Aztecs went on a late run to win 57-43. This tournament embodies the Lobos’ season. After going 3-11 in conference, it would have been easy to quit in the first game of the tournament and just go home. Down late in the first game, they
could have given up, but they didn’t. In the second game, UNM could have lost on the final play but refused to. SDSU was the superior team in the final, but again the Lobos battled and refused to quit, just like they did all season. Torrance averaged 15.6 points per game in the tournament, and Sanchez at one point said she was carrying the team and the rest were just along for the ride. A huge amount of credit needs to be given to Torrance, Durbin and the rest of the Lobo team, but most importantly to Sanchez, who instilled a fighting spirit in her team who refused to quit. The amount of adversity the team went though is more than Sanchez will see in her next five years combined at UNM, and with a spirit like that soon this team won’t be on the losing end of MWC tournament finals.

healthy players. The team hoped for a better record. But the Lobos were hit by injuries again and UNM lost six straight games in open conference play. They ended up going 3-11 in conference and went 9-19 during the regular season. The team was led by junior guard Caroline Durbin and senior forward Porche Torrance, averaging 15 and 11.7 points per game, respectively. Durbin was named to first team AllMWC and Torrance was named the MWC defensive player of the year. Luckily, Air Force had a worse record in conference play and the Lobos were awarded the seventh seed and took on No. 2 UNLV with a full roster for one of the first times this year. UNLV was playing at home but a majority of the fans were supporting UNM. Down nine with seven minutes left, the Lobos hit

Baylor bucks Colorado in The Pit by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com Colorado had no answer for Baylor’s Brady Heslip. Heslip hit nine 3-pointers and finished with 27 points as No. 3 Baylor knocked off No. 11 Colorado 80-63 in the third round of the NCAA tournament in The Pit. The Buffaloes were winning 5756 with 9:39 remaining, when Baylor went on a 24-to-7 run to close out the game. Baylor head coach Scott Drew said the run to close out the game was crucial to the victory. “I was very proud of the second half, especially the last 10 minutes, how we clamped down on the defensive end,” he said. “Brady was absolutely on fire, but his teammates did a great job getting him the ball.” After upsetting No. 6 University of Nevada-Las Vegas on Thursday, Colorado came out with the same intensity but couldn’t account for Heslip, who had 18 in the half. Baylor took the lead within two minutes and pushed it all the way to eight. Colorado closed the gap to just two and the Bears took a 37-35 lead into half. “Nobody wanted to go home today. We played like that in the
Adria Malcolm / Daily Lobo Baylor guard Pierre Jackson jumps to make a layup during the third round of the NCAA tournament against Colorado Saturday night in The Pit. Baylor won 80-63, advancing to the Sweet 16. second half,” Heslip said. Baylor took its lead to six in the first five minutes of the second half, but Colorado came back. The Buffaloes took a two-point lead, the first since 1:01 into the contest, by means of a layup from Carlon Brown with 12:17 left. Colorado would only score 10 points the rest of the game. With 7:31 left, Baylor went on
a 17-3 run to close out the contest. The run was aided by four straight 3-pointers two by Heslip. Heslip had a game high of 27 points and was 9-12 from behind the arc. The only other player in double figures for the Bears was Pierre Jackson with 14. Helsip said his great shooting was due to his teammates’ finding him open.
“When they make passes that are on target and on time, it’s easy for me,” he said. “Especially if I am in rhythm and feeling good shooting.” Colorado had four players in double figures, with Askia Booker leading the team with 15 off the bench. There were only 15 turnovers in the game, eight by CU and seven by Baylor. Baylor was 28-64 shooting
compared to the Buffaloes’ 23-51. The Bears now play No. 10 Xavier. Baylor is just one of two teams left from the Big 12 in the tournament and Ryan said they will fight hard for their conference to be recognized. “We’re going to work as hard as we can, not only for Baylor University, but for the Big 12,” he said.

New Mexico Daily Lobo
Weekly Horoscopes by Alexandra Swanberg
Flow with the go... Capricorn—The month ahead is
Taurus—It’s time to crawl out of the cave and be stunned by the world you’ve kept yourself from. There’s nothing wrong with being a homebody, but when it skews your perception of the world in a negative way it’s time to re-acquaint yourself with all the beauty out there. This is a time for broadening your social horizons and benefitting from connections with others. The energy is right for expansion in all spheres of life; abandon caution for once and just go with it. Gemini—You will have difficulty getting what you want by taking the traditional avenues this week. The world is unpredictable and quick-changing under the influence of Aries, but fortunately you have a sharp mind to contend and keep up with the will of the Ram. Encourage yourself and others to be innovative, try different approaches and lighten up the daily routine with some spontaneity. You can be serious about what you want without casting a heavy, dark shadow onto the outlook. Cancer—The next few weeks, be prepared to deal with some ferocious attitude from even the meekest of your colleagues, friends and family. Aries lights the fire under us all, driving us toward our goals at all costs, including diplomacy and sensitivity. You’re like a sponge the way you absorb the energy in a room, so you may need to focus on yourselves as intensely as everyone else is on their own tasks or you’ll exhaust yourself trying to work out all the emotions. Leo—You’ve searched your soul to the fringes and depths these last few months and now you’d like to just be. You’re not a shallow individual, but you prefer to reside on the lighter side of life where there’s not so much self-evaluation and questioning. Though unpleasant, this period has left you feeling surer of yourself. With this comes a feeling of security, freeing you up for frolicking without a care in the world. Tend to your responsibilities, of course, but don’t let them consume your spirit.
full of opportunities for you to advance in any area of your life you wish. Whether you choose to refine a project or endeavor you’ve been exploring, or to start something completely different, is unimportant. What matters is not the tangible, final product, but what you learn about yourself in the process. You have reserves of personal power that can change the way the wind blows; now is the time to harness that power and learn the extent of your potential. Aquarius—Something is apt to pique your interest around Wednesday, though you may not immediately grasp its significance. Spend some time mulling over this new concept or phenomenon you’ve caught onto and figure out what it has to do with your own life. Discuss it with others; you’ll likely find a captive audience of members who’ve either noticed this themselves or are as intrigued as you felt. It may be something more ground-breaking than you initially realized. Pisces—The new moon on Wednesday and the energy it provides for growth and new beginnings throughout the week is just what you need. You are thoroughly fed up with waiting for people to help you out, especially where emotional strife is concerned. Perhaps you’ve been giving more than receiving. You don’t usually mind, but this is a time when you need strength the most. Learn how to be your own support system and try not to be bitter when people congratulate you on your new sense of self. Aries—You’re considering trying something completely different where your career, studies or public life is concerned. At first, you were fired up but, slowly, doubt has dampened your entrepreneurial spirit. Accomplish what is actually possible, but thinking you’re not good enough to see the thing through to the end is like being frightened of the boogeyman. It can scare you, but there is no reason to let fear stop you from getting what you want.
Virgo—Even if your daily life has nothing to do with art, you will benefit from supplementing your usual analytical thinking with some creativity. You don’t have to whip out the smock and paints, but try to relax your mind, let down mental barriers that have predetermined what is and isn’t possible. Avoid criticizing what you’re working on until it is finished and ready for it. Encourage yourself gently and focus on the positive or you risk crushing what could be a lucrative idea for yourself and possibly many others. Libra—It is as if a new spirit has taken up your body, but you’re not so ready to evict it. You lifestyle has become rejuvenated with this new sense of possibility, the air is electric and the world works together harmoniously and efficiently. With everything as it should be, you feel lifted out of the melancholy mood that’s plagued you the last few months. Expect yourself to easily fulfill all responsibilities and then some; this is an effortless wave to ride. Scorpio—If you become overwhelmed and confused in the whirl of activities that is to come the next couple of weeks, it is probably because you are giving them too much thought. As contrary to your character as this is, you don’t need to question everything until you drained the world of mystery. Times like this call for learning through experience, not deep thought and rationalization. Learn to live in the moment. Sagittarius—You’re not one to toot your own horn, because your confidence tends to speak for itself. With the Aries influence over the next few weeks, everyone is becoming self-involved to a greater extent than usual, leaving them blind to you and your potential. You may need to clue people into the ways in which you work and how you might be mutually beneficial to each other. Anything you’ve been putting off should be started Wednesday for the new moon.

Men’s NCAA hopes end with March sadness by Cesar Davila
hendrix@unm.edu In a one-point game with 4:47 left in the first half, shades of 2010 seemed to come back to haunt the men’s basketball team. Fifth-seeded UNM lost to fourthseeded Louisville 59-56 in the third round of the NCAA tournament in Portland, Ore. Two years ago, Lobo captain Dairese Gary suffered a torn ACL against BYU in the semifinals of the MWC tournament — Saturday, senior forward Drew Gordon went down with a similar injury after senior forward A.J. Hardeman fell on him. Gordon said that when the injury happened he saw his life flash before his eyes. “So when I was going up, he (Hardeman) was coming down and forced me back down and he fell kind of against my leg in an awkward position. I felt a couple of pops, but the doc checked it out and it was okay,” Gordon said. Gordon returned minutes later and showed no ill effect as he finished with his nineteenth doubledouble of the season with 21 points and 14 rebounds. The Lobos were knocked out of the round of 32 for the second time in three years and failed to make the Sweet 16 once again — a feat they have yet to accomplish. The Lobos trailed by just one point at the intermission, but the Cardinals exploded offensively to take a commanding 15-point lead after a Chris Smith 3-pointer with 13:03 left in the game, taking the score to 44-29. “We were just out of rhythm, out of sync offensively, I thought,” head coach Steve Alford said. “And then to start the second half, I think they really came at us and got some easy baskets, which we hadn’t given up in the first half.” The Lobos slowly clawed back and cut the lead to two points with 1:36 left in the game after sophomore guard Demetrius Walker hit a 3-pointer from the baseline. But Louisville’s Payton Siva closed out the show with his assist that led to a Gorgui Dieng dunk and two clutch free throws. Siva was held in check for most of the game by the Lobos as he finished with six points and six assists.
“I didn’t feel tonight Peyton was going to have a great game because of the way they (UNM) play the pick-androll,” Louisville head coach Rick Pitino said. “At the end of the game when they needed stops, he made a great move. And he did something that he hasn’t done with us in two years, that pass he made to Gorgui, he came to a jump stop and made the play.” Aside from Gordon, sophomore guard Kendall Williams was the only other Lobo in double figures, with 11 points off 5-of-11 shooting. Sophomore guard Tony Snell had another subpar performance, making just 1-of-5 shots from the field for three points. Louisville guard Russ Smith came off the bench and sparked the offense as he led the Cardinals with 17 points, making just five of 12 shots. “When you coach Russ Smith, you have a nervous breakdown on every possession,” Pitino said. “He wasn’t shooting the three well. And to show you how dumb I am, I’m yelling, ‘Take it, Russ,’ but he always comes up big for us. When we struggle for points he’s always there. I’m real proud of him.” The Cardinal bench outscored the Lobos’ bench 19-13. UNM made 23-of-58 from the field for 39.7 percent. The Cardinals shot 45.8 percent from the field making 22-of-48. Louisville controlled the glass as it rebounded UNM 34-23. UNM was the lone member of the Mountain West Conference in the NCAA tournament to make the third round this season. UNLV, Colorado State and San Diego State all lost in the second round. Seniors Phillip McDonald and Hardeman finished their careers with 102 wins at UNM, tying Marcos White for the winningest players in school history. Gordon also played his final game as a Lobo, breaking Tom King’s singleseason record for rebounds. Gordon passed King’s 375 mark, to finish with 388 rebounds. “(I am) very proud of these three young men,” Alford said. “They’ve had brilliant careers, Drew for a year and a half, and A.J. and Phillip for four years. All three of them (are) on pace to graduate. They’ve just been tremendous seniors.”

Women’s season proves tenacious by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com
Adria Malcolm / Daily Lobo Head women’s basketball coach Yvonne Sanchez pumps up her team playing UNLV in the first round of the MWC Tournament on Mar. 7 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev. Sanchez and the Lobos were the seven seed in the tournament but made it to the final, where they lost to SDSU.
With the hype surrounding the men’s basketball team, it would be easy to forget about women’s basketball’s Cinderella-story run in the MWC tournament. UNM lost in the final to San Diego State on March 10 in Las Vegas, Nev., after winning back-to-back tournament games as a No. 7 seed to reach the final. To put in perspective how improbable this run was, it’s best to start at the beginning. Before the season started, first-year head coach Yvonne Sanchez already had her work cut out for her. After former head coach Don Flanagan resigned from the program last April, Sanchez took over after being the assistant at UNM for 11 years. Eight players left the program; three to graduation and five women
from the freshmen class transferred or quit the team. Sanchez had to quickly bring in players to fill the void, but some of them weren’t the quality of players needed to bring success to a Division I program. To make matters worse, preseason MWC player of the year Sara Halasz tore her ACL before the season started. The year started off with three straight losses, including a two-point loss to No. 13 Oklahoma when UNM was winning for all but the last minute of the game. It got worse as injuries forced Sanchez to have as few as seven healthy players to choose from during games. In December, to add depth to the squad, Sanchez recruited UNM senior volleyball player Ashley Rhoades and added freshman guard Jamie Parker. When conference play began, the Lobos were 6-8 and had 10
