Joey Trisolini / Daily Lobo Dairese Gary leaves the floor at the HP Pavilion following the Lobos’ loss to the Washington Huskies in San Jose, Calif., on Saturday. Gary will return to the Lobo lineup next year as a senior.

The Graduate and Professional Student elections for president and council chair are open to graduate students. A candidate to fill GPSA President Lissa Knudsen’s shoes is yet to be decided, as no applicants applied for the position. Danny Hernandez, GPSA Council Chair, is running for re-election and is unopposed. “The deadline for candidates to file will be this coming Wednesday,” Hernandez said. The term for both elected offices is one academic school year. This year will be a challenge for any elected position — especially with tuition increases, Hernandez said. Any graduate student is eligible to run for either council chair or president. Hernandez said that Knudsen will run for re-election, but

Clean energy Q&A with senate staff Missing UNM student turns up near Socorro by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo

Bard College is helping college students and their state senators talk directly about issues concerning climate change and clean energy. Eban Goodstein, director of the Bard Center for Environmental Policy, organized the nationwide 2010 Campus to Congress: Let’s Talk. The UNM Sustainability Program hosted a conference call Friday with Jonathan Black from Sen. Jeff Bingaman’s staff, and Andrew Wallace of Sen. Tom Udall’s office to answer questions submitted by UNM students.

Bingaman

Both Democratic senators are up for re-election in November. Daily Lobo: What is Senator Bingaman’s biggest hesitation to implementing alternative energy in New Mexico? What is one of his biggest concerns?

Jonathan Black: There are obviously technical concerns about making sure there are transmissions lines and ways to get that electricity to areas that are using it. I think we’ve spent a lot of time and effort trying to find ways in which to deploy these technologies and create incentives for energy efficiency and for renewable (efficiency) and to get access to them. DL: As a state that boasts more than 300 days of sunshine, why has New Mexico not invested more in solar energy? Could there be subsidies available to promote the switch

Mayor amps up bike safety campaign by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo

Mayor Richard Berry recently got on board with a new bike safety campaign that aims to help drivers see the road from a bicyclist’s point of view. The campaign, called “Easy to Miss,” includes a Web site, a billboard and displays at malls and the airport — all to raise drivers’ awareness of bikers. The site includes the top ten things that drivers should know about bicyclists. According to the site, over 100 people are killed each year in Albuquerque from accidents. Chris Ramirez, City of Albuquerque communications director, said he hopes the campaign will decrease bike accidents and increase motorists’ awareness of bikers. “We know that bicyclists can be easy to miss, as we’ve seen from tragic results when motorists miss a bicyclist on

the street,” he said. The campaign began after Heather Reu – avid cyclist and mother – died after being hit by a car last June, said Bart Cleveland, creative director of McKee Wallwork Cleveland, a local marketing company. A friend of Reu, who works at the company, first came up with the idea for the campaign, Cleveland said. “It was just a very sad story,” he said. “She was a mother of four young children, very involved with her community and church. It was a tragedy.” Cleveland said that his company has recently partnered with the mayor to decrease future tragic bike accidents. The billboard can be seen by drivers going south on I-25 by the west I-40 exit. Cleveland said the billboard has a picture of a biker on it and is designed to show how easily

A missing UNM student is now safe and sound after taking a road trip across five different states. Student Sheena Jain drove through New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas by herself, said Hector Terrazas, UNM Police Department officer. Jain went missing on March 6 and was last seen at her family’s home in Las Cruces, said Dan Trujillo, Las Cruces Police Department spokesman. Jain’s mother reported her as missing to Las Cruces Police that day, he said. Jain was found on March 15 near Socorro by New Mexico State Police, he said. She did not have contact with her family during the time she was gone, he said. “Her family hadn’t heard from her,” Trujillo said. “We had reason to believe she may have left the state voluntarily.” Terrazas said Jain left the state due to frustration with her family. She will voluntarily seek counseling services, he said. Terrazas said UNMPD aided in the search for Jain by locating her current residence near campus. He said that contrary to what other media outlets are reporting, her apartment was not searched

by UNMPD officers. He said that after failing to locate Jain’s car in the apartment complex parking lot, officers asked the landlord to open Jain’s apartment and make sure that nothing looked out of the ordinary, while UNMPD officers stood outside. “We told the landlord that if she saw anything to leave the apartment and lock it up for investigation by (Albuquerque Police Department),” he said. Jain’s credit card statements were inspected after nothing was found in the apartment, Terrazas said. Jain used the card in the five states she traveled to mostly for food and gas, he said. But he said that before Jain returned to New Mexico UNMPD did not know who was using her credit card. Trujillo said that after the state trooper located Jain, she was removed from the missing persons’ list. “She is an adult,” Trujillo said. “She didn’t do anything illegal so there was no reason for her to be taken into custody.” Terrazas said UNM, Las Cruces, State, and Albuquerque Police departments combined efforts to locate Jain. “We were very worried,” he said. “But we were all working together to find her.”

Former U.S. presidents to assess needs in Haiti by Jonathan M. Katz The Associated Press

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti— One restored a Haitian president to power; the other flew him back out again. Former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are visiting Haiti on Monday, reminding the country of its tumultuous recent past just as frustration over an uneven earthquake relief effort is bringing politics back to the surface. The ex-presidents are spearheading U.S. fundraising in response to the Jan. 12 earthquake. Tapped by President Barack Obama for the role, they are making the one-day visit to assess recovery needs. Charged memories of their policies toward the impoverished Caribbean nation are already mixing with frustration over deplorable living conditions among the 1.3 million homeless quake survivors. Supporters of ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide have scheduled protests for Monday — demanding the return of their exiled leader and pleading for more aid. “We are going to bring our message to the presidents, that our situation here is no good. The way people are living in Haiti is no way for anyone to live,” said Fanfan Fenelon, a 30-year-old resident of the Bel Air slum. Monday will be Bush’s first trip to Haiti. Clinton, who is the U.N. special envoy to the country, has made two visits since the quake and five in the past two years. He also visited as president.

The pair will arrive in a country struggling to feed and shelter victims of the magnitude-7 quake, which killed an estimated 230,000 people. Hundreds of thousands still live in dangerous camps, some already flooding ahead of the April rainy season. On Sunday, a small earthquake caused an apartment building to collapse in the northern city of CapHaitien, killing two people, according to U.N. spokesman Louicius Eugene. Three people were rescued from the rubble and authorities are searching for more survivors. President Rene Preval’s government has criticized nongovernmental organizations for not being accountable to the Haitian state. In turn, Haitian officials have been accused of ineffectiveness and corruption. On Tuesday, a group of Haitian and U.S. human-rights advocates will ask the Organization of American States for an inquiry into why $2.2 billion in aid has not helped more people. Those exchanges will only grow more heated with the approach of the March 31 donors’ conference at the United Nations, where the Haitian government will ask for $11.5 billion. Enter Clinton and Bush, an unlikely duo that have arguably shaped Haiti’s history as much as anyone alive today. Clinton presided over a refugee crisis borne of the 1991 ouster of Aristide, Haiti’s first democratically elected president. He returned Aristide to power in 1994 with a force of 20,000 U.S. troops.

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: The U.S. started mediation between India and Pakistan over water rights. As both countries’ technology and populations grow, the demand for water is increasing past the point of sustainability. India expresses its concerns about terrorism coming from Pakistan — as the lack of water threatens their stability. The leadership of Lashkar-e-Taiba — the terrorist group who carried out the Mumbai attacks — warned that “Muslims dying of thirst would drink the blood of India.” Scientists have been warning that with global warming and overpopulation there would be a fight over water. If America was forced to fight its neighbors — would you support a war over water? Out of 60 responses

Yes, these pretzels are making me 18% thirsty! Yes, we need to maintain the U.S as 18% number one. No, water is everyone’s resource — we 50% need to share. No, not if I have to kill someone for a 14% glass of water.

THIS WEEK’S POLL: Tito Ingeniert is giving a new meaning to “99 bottles of beer on the wall.” Six million bottles later, a man in the town of Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina has made his home entirely out of beer bottles. He said he didn’t have anything else to make his home out of, so he just started building with bottles. With a campus of thirsty students, we end up with a surplus of empty glass bottles every year.

LETTERS Pot laws create criminals, squander public resources Editor, Regarding Zach Gould’s March 8 column, I would like to comment that the drug war is largely a war on marijuana smokers. In 2008, there were 847,863 marijuana arrests in the U.S., almost 90 percent for simple possession. At a time when state and local governments are laying off police, firefighters and teachers, this country continues to spend

The ugly effects of smoking can change the way you live Editor, This letter is in response to the Opinion column by Brock Lightstone in the March 12 Daily Lobo. It’s been said there’s no greater zealot than a convert — whether it be to a religion, jihad or a reformed smoker. I’m not quite sure how much of Mr. Lightstone’s diatribe was tongue-incheek and how much is legitimate concern. I smoked less than a pack a day for 37 years and quit in 1982 cold turkey. I really enjoyed smoking. I could smoke at work; I’d take that first drag, put the cigarette in the ashtray, and by the time I got back to it, more than half of it was ash. Most enjoyable were the cigarettes after a meal, during a coffee break, out at a club or playing cards or a board game. But I had asthma and had been

Javelinas and pronghorns in Petaca Pinta need protection Editor, I wanted to share with you the breathtaking weekend I had over spring break. I just arrived back from my first trip with the UNM Wilderness Alliance. After only an hour drive on a brain-rattling dirt road into the desert, we arrived at Petaca Pinta country — a beautiful wilderness only 60 miles southwest of Albuquerque. Unfortunately this area is not yet a protected wilderness, and that’s exactly what we gathered to discuss. The first night was bitterly cold,

enormous public resources criminalizing Americans who prefer marijuana to martinis. The end result of this ongoing culture war is not necessarily lower rates of use. The U.S. has higher rates of marijuana use than the Netherlands, where marijuana is legally available. An admitted former pot smoker, President Obama has thus far maintained the prohibition status quo rather than pursue real change. Would Barack Obama be in the White House right now if he had been convicted of a marijuana offense in his youth? Decriminalization is a long overdue step in the right direction. Taxing and regulating

marijuana would render the drug war obsolete. As long as marijuana distribution is controlled by organized crime, consumers will continue to come into contact with sellers of hard drugs like meth and heroin. This “gateway” is a direct result of marijuana prohibition. Students who want to reform marijuana laws should contact Students for Sensible Drug Policy at SchoolsNotPrisons.com.

hospitalized several times with severe attacks. I knew smoking exacerbated the asthma, but I closed my mind to that knowledge. Almost 20 years after I quit, I was diagnosed with COPD — chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It’s incurable; its disabling effects continue to increase, and I brought it on. This is my second semester at UNM. I’m a senior, non-traditional student, working toward my Bachelor of University Studies degree. Many readers of the Daily Lobo may have seen me, or bumped into me — literally — on the Smith Plaza, in the SUB, Zimmerman Library and various classrooms. I’m that little old lady toting a liquid oxygen tank belted round my waist, or carrying a larger tank in a backpack. I’m the one who’s liable to stop unexpectedly and stand stock still, causing others, especially those intent on their cell phones or iPods, or whizzing around on their skateboards, to make hasty detours around me to avoid collision. Secondhand smoke is as harmful to lung

tissue as smoking itself. Every time I’m exposed to it, I try to hold my breath. Trouble is, my lungs have been so damaged I can neither take in enough oxygen nor hold it in long enough to get past the smoker(s). I hate having my hair and clothes stink of stale cigarette smoke. I resent having to lug oxygen with me wherever I go, but I can’t do without it. When I suddenly stop in the middle of mostly pedestrian traffic on campus, it’s not to admire the scenery or architecture; it’s so I can inhale enough oxygen to traverse another 50 feet. Most college students are on tight budgets. Smokers, think how much cash you’ll free up if you quit now, especially considering the new tax on each pack of cigarettes going into effect July 1. Most of all, think how much healthier you’ll be if you quit now, so you don’t find yourself walking in my shoes when you get older.

and I woke up at 2 a.m. with my feet frozen. Suddenly, I realized that I had an early morning visitor when I heard an animal chewing and snorting, which I’m convinced was a Javelina; yet I was too terrified and cold to move. The next day, we split into two groups and embarked to explore this spectacular redrock country. We encountered several pronghorns, stumbled across some ruins and experienced the amazing views of the surrounding mesas and mountains. The air was so fresh and the silence was very peaceful. As a New Englander, and a newcomer to New Mexico, this trip was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Being out in the wilderness like this was quite a rejuvenating experience. I was

able to get my mind off the stress of school and work and really enjoy the wilderness. After a full-day hike of clambering around the volcanic rocks, we all headed back to camp to enjoy enchiladas which our trip leader, Nathan Newcomer, expertly prepared in the Dutch ovens. Bowl after bowl, I couldn’t get enough of the tastiest enchiladas I’ve ever had. I encourage everyone to participate in getting out in the wilderness and helping to protect New Mexico from threats such as mining, military use and development so that not only we can experience it, but also future generations.

drivers can miss bikers. “You don’t see the bicyclist until you get at a certain angle of the board and then all of the sudden it appears,” he said. Cleveland said he is also working on getting more displays with information set up around the city, in addition to the ones at the Albuquerque International Sunport and Cottonwood and Coronado malls. Alyssa Martinez, UNM Lobo Cycling Team member, said she uses her bike to get to school and train with her team. She said she sometimes feels unsafe on streets in Albuquerque. “I do not feel comfortable riding on the west side at all,” she said. “My parents live out there and I will not ride on Coors (Boulevard).” Martinez said drivers should always be alert and on the look out for cyclists, especially in the University area. “I think drivers should have more patience with bicyclists,” she said. “Sometimes you get people who think

we’re a nuisance and it’s kind of unfortunate, but I think that we could work together.” Ramirez said the mayor is making an effort to increase bike lanes throughout the city as a part of the campaign. He said Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue is currently under construction to accommodate bike lanes. “Mayor Berry sees this as a quality of life issue,” Ramirez said. “He believes that our residents deserve to have a safe place to bike.” Ramirez said that the Web site — EasyToMiss.org — answers drivers’ questions about what bicyclists are allowed to do on the road. One tip from the site tells drivers to “maintain a minimum distance of five feet when passing a bicyclist.”

I don’t know if you have heard of the Property Assessed Clean Energy program (PACE). It’s kind of an interesting thing where folks can go and take out loans to do energy efficiency or renewable programs at their home, but they would do it instead through the banks through municipal or state counties who would then fund the programs. The payback would be enrolled through their property taxes. My colleague said that New Mexico is also participating in the program here, so that is something to look into as well. DL: Would you be willing to offer land, water or financial incentives to organic non-genetically modified organism farmers who are sequestering carbon from the atmosphere in their organic rich soil? JB: The issue of offsets, whether it’s organic farms or regular farms or trees in forests, is certainly an issue that has caught my boss’s attention. We’ve tended to look at offset projects as a good way to keep costs down in a cap-and-trade program, but when you’re creating financial incentives to these projects, you want to make sure the carbon that’s sequestered stays there. It is something my boss wants to promote and look into.

The graduate student council was created in 1969 as an offshoot of ASUNM — the undergraduate student government, he said. Many departments have graduate student representation, including fine arts, English, the School of Law, and political science, according to the GPSA Web site. GPSA funds many events and programs, provides funding for health care to graduate students and grants for research programs, the Web site said.

to clean available energy both on a residential and utility wide scale? Andrew Wallace: There are federal incentives for doing both of those things. Certainly New Mexico is a top quality location for solar power and so there should always be more. What we’ve heard from various project developers is that transmission is an issue, particularly if you are talking about large utility scale solar projects. A lot of the demand is to the west of New Mexico — Arizona and California. So, we would want to make sure that if you’re building a new transmission project you want to do it the right way and not disrupt the land as you’re going through. But for New Mexico to really realize its full potential it wants to be able to export that power to a large population center, so there is a transmission issue. Solar power is not yet what they call “grid parity” — meaning it’s not the same price as conventional electricity from coal or natural gas fired power plants. But, the cost for solar comes down every year and we certainly hope that as you scale up and build more of it, with some support from government, the costs will continue to come down and then you’ll really see a ramp up.

After the eighth-inning walking exhibition, Daniel Gonzalez hit a line drive down the left-field line, scoring two runs which UNM thought gave them insurance going into the final inning. Birmingham said it plain and simple: UNM should have beaten Utah on Sunday. “The one thing I am proud of,” Birmingham said. “There’s fight in our kids. No matter what, they keep battling and put themselves back in a situation to win. We were one pitch away from winning that ballgame and one base hit away from winning that ballgame. The fight in this young team is really important to me, because there is still a long season ahead of us, and I can’t let this get to us.”

had a scoring surge of their own. UNM scored four runs without placing the ball into play in the bottom of the eighth. During this span, Utah went through three different pitchers and accumulated five straight walks. With two outs and a full count, UNM freshman John Michael Twichell, who was pinch hitting for Kenny Held, took the fifth walk from Brock Duke. It gave the Lobos a one-run lead at 6-5. “I just really wanted to get a hit and get on base,” Twichell said. “I was trying to move the runner over and (get the rest of the guys to score). It has been a while since I have been in a situation like that.”

The Utah and UNM baseball teams exchanged rallies on Sunday like people exchange phone numbers with each other. But in a series finale that needed extra innings on Sunday, the Utes got the last call over the Lobos, with a 9-8 win at Isotopes Stadium, taking two of three games from the Lobos over the weekend. “It was very hard to stomach,” said UNM head baseball coach Ray Birmingham. It was probably the pitching that made Birmingham want to vomit in the dugout over the weekend. In the three-game series, the Lobos’ pitching staff allowed 51 hits

to the Utes. And the 51st hit for Utah was the game winner. In the top of the 10th inning, Utah’s All-American catcher C.J. Cron laid down a suicide bunt with the bases loaded down the infield left foul line. The death-defying squeeze scored Michael Beltran from third. Preceding the game-winning score, Utah was able to turn in a three-run inning in the top of the ninth that tied the game, 8-8. “We have something bigger to fix than that ballgame,” Birmingham said. “It’s obvious and it jumps out at you. I would say the big indicator (is pitching).” Before UNM’s bullpen imploded in the final inning, the Lobos

Column

Reflections on the direction of a rising star by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

Dear Darington Hobson, What’s all this speculation I hear about you considering leaving school for the NBA? I thought you wrote off those swirling rumors months ago, when I asked you the same question, before all this hoopla began. Remember this? “Right now, my response to that is I love school. I love my teammates and I want to graduate from school. I want to get a degree. I haven’t really thought about what I want to do after playing basketball. A lot of people think that I will go on to the NBA. I like it here. I don’t see myself leaving early.” But when the NBA beckons, is there really an alternative? Ultimately, the answer to that question resides with you. Nobody should scoff at you should you decide to forgo your final year here at the University. Don’t let anyone badger you into staying or let anyone make you feel guilty for leaving. Yes, you did all but guarantee UNM would partake in a trip to the Elite 8, but you don’t owe Lobo fans jack. If anything, you’re entitled to do what’s best for your career. If that means going to the NBA — by all means, go. I can’t say I’d blame you. The current NCAA system is exploitative of student-athletes. CBS makes a lot of money off your likeness, all the while hoarding the money and not dispersing it among its amateur

cash registers — the capital-driving players. At the same time, I can’t help but recognize the horror stories, for every sprinkle of fortune. For every Danny Granger, you have a Kenny Thomas — the deified Lobo, who, perhaps, turned out to be the biggest NBA flop in recent memory. In no way am I likening you to Thomas, though. Understandably, Thomas isn’t necessarily an apt comparison. I’d venture to say you have a hell of a lot more upside than Thomas. Thomas was an undersized forward/center. You, on the other hand, are more point/forward, as you like to refer to yourself. I’ve said it before: You remind me of Granger and J.R. Giddens. While we’re on the topic, consider Giddens’ story. Look at the year he had as a senior — 16.3 points per game, 8.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists. Sound remotely familiar? Then look where he landed in the draft — as the Boston Celtics’ last selection of the first round. That means he merited a guaranteed contract. However, had he gone in the second round — mind you, only one spot further down — he wouldn’t have been promised one. I’m sure you have other advisers filling you in on all this. If Steve Alford hasn’t told you this already, I’m sure he will in the subsequent weeks. But, by the nature of college basketball, Alford has a vested interest in you staying. Don’t get me wrong. Knowing Alford,

I would like two ads -- they can look similar (re-card logo and all). One needs to announce the Design Competition that kicks off on March 22nd. Prizes will be $300 (1st); $150 (2nd); $50 (3rd) in LoboCa$h. Deadline for designs to LCO 4:45 pm on April 16th, 2010, and you can direct them to the website recard.unm.edu for more details. The website will go live on the 22nd as well.

folding chair on the bench, an NCAA towel draped over his left arm, wiping the sweat from his brow — the game decidedly over. There they all were: Gary, Hobson, Martinez — the three Lobos that made this 30-win season possible, watching helplessly, in an almost catatonic state: arms folded, emotionless and all on the bench as the final second expired. “We couldn’t respond in any way, offensively or defensively,”

Martinez said. Nothing worked, Alford said, no matter what he jotted down on the clipboard in timeouts. They solved everything the Lobos threw at them. “Sometimes you just have to take your hat off and shake the opponent’s hand and say, ‘Job well done,’” Alford said. “That’s tonight.” A night that won’t soon be forgotten.

Spotlight from page 12 beat six ranked teams. We’ve won championships. We’ve done a lot this year. Now here on the national stage, he proves himself as well.” Not only proved himself, but legitimately pushed himself into the early conversation for consideration in next year’s MWC Player of the Year honor. Yes, his performance warrants that type of attention. Throughout the year, several coaches and writers echoed a similar tone when it came to the Lobos. Without Hobson, the dynamics of the team would have been different, but without Gary, UNM wouldn’t have amassed nearly the amount of wins it did. In many minds, Gary

Hobson

was the deciding cog which powered the Lobo machine. Romar felt the same way. “He’s just a bull with that basketball,” Romar said. “He’s got great quickness and we had not played against him before. We watched him on film. We watched him in person the other night, but, until you’re in front of him, you don’t understand how quick and strong he is.” Nor how instrumental he is. As it stands, the Lobos, Gary said, will be “amazing” should Hobson return next season. What’s even more amazing, though, is how long Gary’s been shortchanged on credit. Until next year.

from page 8

he will stand by your decision, no matter which route you decide to take. In the same breath, he has to be thinking, “Imagine how good we can be next year if Hobson decides to stay?” The NBA is just as full, if not more so, of swindlers, looking to leech off your brand. It’s possible they will lead you in a roundabout direction, similar to the one you embarked on to get to college. It takes a wise and weathered soul to navigate the pitfalls. You have a strong support group at UNM. Call Granger. Call Giddens. Seek their advice. Ask every question imaginable. They’ll tell you what it takes to be

successful in the NBA. All I know is that whether out of necessity or by the luck of the draw, those guys transferred schools and ended up finishing their college careers. Right now, you’ve played but a year at the Division I level. Would staying another year be such a bad choice? At the very least, I hope you take this as a cautionary tale. I’d hate to see such a likable, talented player make a decision he’d later regret. In the event that you do leave, I wish you the best. Sincerely, Isaac Avilucea

Curtains Closed by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

Joey Trisolini / Daily Lobo Roman Martinez walks toward the Huskies’ bench, his eye bloodied from a mid-air collision with an elbow during Saturday’s game in San Jose, Calif. The Lobos watched their season end as Washington pulled off an 82-64 win in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — In an Iditarod-style basketball game, the Husky outran the Lobo. The languishing Lobos watched their Sweet 16 hopes dissipate, as No. 11 Washington raced out of the second round at the HP PaWash. 82 vilion at San Jose with an 82-64 victory. The lack of UNM 64 depth finally caught up with UNM, as seven of its players logged double-digit minutes. Washington, on the other hand, dipped into its bench, filtering in nine fresh guys. “They were just too much,” said UNM forward Roman Martinez. Way too much. Head coach Steve Alford said it best. “We ran into a combination of San Diego State and BYU wrapped together,” the Lobo coach astutely reasoned. “They got the size and athleticism of San Diego State and they play the style of BYU. That’s kind of scary.” In fact, with Washington possessing the lead and the momentum for 30 of the 40 minutes, it was utterly terrifying. It didn’t help that the Lobos were unfamiliar with double-digit halftime leads, having just one memorable 16-point rally to its name — that one coming against Creighton on Dec. 19, nearly three months ago. It didn’t help that UNM started the first half 3-of-5 from the 3-point line, only to miss its next nine shots from beyond the arc. As the shots continued to ricochet off the rim — UNM missed 12 of 15 shots during one first-half stretch — the flustered Lobos frittered away, all but checking out at half time. The resignation was present in their languid dribble. They looked emotionally and physically spent to start the second half, gasping for air, their legs rubbery. Darington Hobson hunched over, hands on his knees and mouthpiece protruding from his mouth. All the Lobos huffed, waltzing back on defense. They gave it all they had, but all they had wasn’t enough. They lost by the largest margin of the season (18). “You could start to see their heads go down a little bit, starting to see them get tired.

Beat up,” said Washington forward Quincy Pondexter. “It came from great team help defense.” And the Huskies’ hastiness, pushing the ball relentlessly up court, after, not only a Lobo miss, but a made basket. When asked whether the plan was to run the Lobos until they dropped, Isaiah Thomas, Washington guard, responded with a level of sarcasm. “You could say that,” he said. Dairese Gary, Lobo guard, was too proud to give the Huskies much credit. “I wouldn’t say they beat us at our own game. They had more easy shots than us,” Gary said. “They killed us. Layups after layups.” Punch after punch — until the mighty Lobos spilled to the canvas as Washington’s rapturous, riotous crowd roared in approval. Adding to the pain, at the 11:54 mark in the second half, Martinez took an arm to the side of the head, splitting his left eyebrow, blood profusely dripping down his side as he brought his jersey toward the wound to nurse it. “Seeing his uniform in one of those timeouts — that’s just the way Ro plays,” Alford said. Martinez deliriously walked toward the wrong bench, before being escorted out of the arena and into the locker room to receive medical attention. He received a handful of stitches, before re-emerging from the tunnel and checking back into the game with about seven minutes left. But in his absence, the Lobos had done nothing to whittle away the lead. “Tried to get back as fast as I could,” Martinez said. “Felt like a long time. I was trying to ask them, ‘What’s the score — if we were coming back?’ I just wanted to get back on the floor. It’s my last game. Just wanted to try to make a difference at the end.” He would soon depart for the bench, receiving a hug from everyone down the Lobo line. Unfortunately, the clock wound down on Martinez’s brilliant senior season as he sat two seats to the right of the end of the last

Guard steals spotlight in final game by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

SAN JOSE, Calif. — As he sat there, hands folded in the locker room, a pained expression on his face, Dairese Gary recounted the agony he felt when the UNM men’s basketball team’s magic-carpet-ride season was expiring before his eyes. The season witnessed the Lobos win their first NCAA Tournament game in 11 years. “You’re feeling like you’re in quicksand,” he said. “Everything is going wrong and you keep sinking. You’re trying to get back, and, you know if you win this game, you get to the next level, but you can’t get there.” Gary had yet to take his uniform off, as if to take in a few more moments of a 30-win season experience in the same basketball shorts and sweatsoaked jersey, before it went into a laundry basket, on its way to a stow-away closet, where it will be suspended from a hanger until next season. This loss, an 82-64 drumming by Washington in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Gary said, “It’s going to stay with me until we play the next game. I hate losing. It’s going to stick with me until I redeem myself.” An ironic statement, considering Gary was the only redeeming value in a game gone awry, a second-round thumping at the hands of Washington. In it, Gary did all he could to help his team find its way back from a 12-point, first-half deficit. Had Gary not been there, the disparity would likely have been worse. While Darington Hobson — the Mountain West

Conference’s Player of the Year — faded to the background, bothered by a sore, achy wrist, Gary took center stage. So much of the attention diverted toward Hobson’s wrist, few knew Gary was battling bruised ribs. Even so, he had 15 points in the first half, finishing with 25 for the game. “Gary, wow,” said Huskies head coach Lorenzo Romar. “He hurt us singlehandedly. All those different shots that they were getting were directed by him. We noticed he was controlling everything.” Quietly, Gary’s been doing it all year, the forgotten member of the Three Lobo-teers — the other two, of course, being Hobson and lone senior Roman Martinez. And while Martinez departs Lobo land, and while Hobson mulls over the prospect of a professional career, Gary will definitely be back next year, a year older, a year wiser, imparted with the knowledge of what it takes to get back to the NCAA Tournament. “I want to get back to this spot,” Gary said. Who wouldn’t? Lobo head coach Steve Alford said, with the Lobos winning 30 games this year, added to the past success they’ve had the last two years, Gary has an opportunity to be the winningest UNM player in Lobo history. “I think he goes into his senior year being the best guard in our league, if not one of the best throughout the country,” Alford said. “We won 30 Joey Trisolini / Daily Lobo basketball games. There’s only four teams that beat us this year. We played a very difficult schedule. We Dairese Gary charges toward the hoop and scores in the second half of Saturday’s game. Gary was the Lobos’ leading scorer, matching his own career high of 25 points. see Spotlight page 9
