FEWER STUDENTS, MORE ADVICE Athletes reap the benefits of improved advisement
Undergraduate studentto-adviser ratio for degree-granting colleges at UNM*
by Hunter Riley hriley@unm.edu
Anderson School of Business and Management:
The Athletics Department has almost four times more advisers per student than UNM undergraduate degree-granting colleges, and athletes enjoy access to clinical psychologists, learning specialists and student services. Compared to the College of Education’s 350-to-1 undergraduate student-to-adviser ratio, student-athletes have a 90-to-1 ratio. Because of this, said Henry Villegas, manager of Academic Advising, student-athletes get more one-onone time with advisers compared to traditional students. “They get a chance to work with students from their freshman year till the end,” he said. “I think that’s critical to developing relationships. They know a lot more about the students’ lives.” Teams are an assigned an adviser, and those advisers have copies of student-athletes’ syllabi to make sure he or she is on top of assignments,

Expect tests for ADHD meds SHAC combats recreational use with evaluations, policies, waits by Barron Jones
Student Health and Counseling on main campus provides ADHD evaluations for students, but, due to high demand, students generally have to wait months to get an evaluation. SHAC representatives said they are worried about students abusing the drugs.
bjones36@unm.edu Students may have to wait nearly three months to get an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnosis and prescription from Student Health and Counseling. Counseling Director Harry Linneman said that the center has seen a spike in students wanting ADHD evaluations, but the center does not have the resources to see every student immediately. He said the media plays a role in increasing evaluation demands. “Television documentaries and other publicity about adult ADHD is increasing the awareness of this as a possible issue,” Linneman said. Linneman said SHAC does not compile data for the prescriptions it writes. He said SHAC takes precautionary measures when diagnosing the disorder. Students must undergo a battery of examinations before getting a diagnosis, Linneman said, and SHAC is careful not to over-prescribe for ADHD because students can misuse the medication. “We don’t pretend that our system at SHAC is perfect, but we try to provide a reasonably thoughtful and thorough diagnostic process and limit our prescription of stimulants,” Linneman said. SHAC’s policy, Linneman said, differs from many colleges and

universities. The University of Arizona, for example, does not diagnose ADHD, according to its health care website, because evaluations are time consuming. Health officials will, however, treat students if they can prove they were previously treated for the disorder. The University of Colorado in Boulder’s system is similar to UNM’s. CU’s student health center has a maximum three-week wait time for evaluations, according to its website, and evaluations cost $661, more than double what SHAC charges. Barbara Krause, a family nurse practitioner at SHAC, said Ritalin and Adderall fall under the Control Substance Act, a federal drug policy that regulates the use of substances and medications. She said that on a five-
point scale, ADHD stimulants are level-III controlled substances. Krause said doctors can prescribe only a month’s worth of ADHD drugs. “Like other controlled substances, if they are taken as prescribed and at appropriate doses, this usually can be avoided,” she said. “We also do not want these medications to get into the hands of those they have not been prescribed.” Linneman said if students can’t wait for an evaluation, other community resources offer costlier treatment methods. “It is our goal at SHAC not to make them available for parties, all-night study sessions, or last-minute cramming for students who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD,” he said.

Memorial set for student, mother by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu
UNM community members will remember student Beatrice DominguezMeiers’ life at a memorial service Saturday morning. Her son, James Meiers, said his mother was dedicated to serving people until the very end. “It wasn’t until the last couple of months where she really got so sick that she couldn’t help people,” he said. “She wanted to go back to work until the very end. The doctors told her, ‘You can’t go back to work. You’re sick.’ But that was her life — helping other people.” The rosary and Mass service begins at 9:30 a.m. Dominguez-Meiers, 65, died of liver failure Saturday. She served as the GPSA Lobby Committee Chair in 2007-08. Friend Louis Martinez said Dominguez-Meiers treated everyone with kindness. “She always helped you, and that was why people liked her so much,” he said. “When I was getting discouraged working on my master’s degree, she came to my side and encouraged me to finish.” Dominguez-Meiers is survived by her two sons, Steve and James. She graduated from UNM in 2009 with a master’s degree in public adminis-
tration. A lifelong activist with the Democratic Party, she was working on her doctorate, even through 18 months of chemotherapy. “She was involved with the party for a long, long time,” friend Danny Hernandez said “She always gave me sage advice, and she took sides on just about every political issue.” GPSA President Lissa Knudsen said Dominguez-Meiers’ passage is a loss to the graduate student community. “She was a dedicated student and public servant who contributed in many ways to improving the academic experience for graduate and professional students at the University of New Mexico,” she said. Donations will be accepted in lieu of flowers, with the proceeds going toward establishing a scholarship fund in her name. “She was such a good friend to so many people,” said Martinez, who knew her for 35 years. “Students, adults, children — she is one of those persons everyone seems to like and talk to. She was a really good listener. That’s why so many people also had a good relationship with her.”

Would you mind spending an additional $40 in student fees if the money went to Athletics? “I wouldn’t mind it necessarily. I would rather see it go somewhere else, but I feel athletics are what people put us on the map. So if it improves how people look at UNM, I think it could be beneficial.�
“I really feel it should go more toward things we need. I know some professors are losing their TAs, and some major professors don’t even have offices or paper to print. I don’t mind paying higher tuition if it means something is going to be beneficial.�

homework and tests. About four years ago, Villegas said, the Athletics Department decided studentathletes needed more support. Built on south campus in 2008, the Student Success Center — which houses the Lobo Center for StudentAthlete Success — gives student-athletes access to tutors, a clinical psychologist and a learning specialist. Villegas said athletes have access to tutors from 6 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday. The center closes at 5 p.m. on Fridays, and tutors are available Sundays from 6-9:30 p.m. Villegas said the center has a psychologist available because in the past, a student-athlete committed suicide, and others left UNM because of personal problems. Non-athletes can study at the center, but they don’t have access to the psychologist, advisers or the learning specialist, Villegas said. “(Athletes) come here with baggage, so she is here to help athletes deal with the variety of psychological issues that are affecting them,” he said. Student-athletes can also rent laptops to use while traveling with their team, and mentors help them develop life skills, such as time management and test-taking. With more access to advisement, Villegas said, student-athletes’ GPAs increased. “We have a number of teams,
such as men’s cross country, swimming and golf, that have perfect scores and are recognized every year by the NCAA,” Villegas said. If student-athletes don’t maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher, he said, they have to go to study hall hours each week. Professor Marie Lobo, a member of the Faculty Senate Athletics Council, is writing a report for the NCAA to show the academic support UNM offers its student athletes. Lobo said the report serves as oversight to ensure UNM meets NCAA academic requirements. She said the report includes interviews from campus departments and looks to identify whether student-athletes get special treatment. “We interviewed people from the Provost’s Office, CAPS, Athletics and from admissions to look at ‘Do athletes get special treatment?’ and we added faculty to this. …We know that there are faculty on campus that no matter what an athlete does, they don’t support college athletics.” Not only do student-athletes have advisement support, but Lobo said coaches emphasize academics to their players. “You can see the turnaround in graduation rates,” she said. “UNM had the lowest graduation rate and the lowest GPA in all Division I basketball. That has totally turned around under coach (Steve) Alford.”

Letters UNM is not a bargain, despite what administrators tell you Editor, I’m writing the nearly identical letter to one I wrote several years ago when a previous University president, upon announcing a tuition increase, earnestly commented that ”UNM really is a bargain — cheaper than most of its comparable state universities.” The problem with this statement, repeated over and over again by university administrators, is that New Mexico was, and still is, one of the poorest states in the union with high unemployment levels, even in good times. Furthermore, most of our employed citizens earn less for comparable jobs than their peers in other states. UNM is a bargain — for out-of-state students. For native New Mexicans, the percentage of their income required to pay tuition is the same, or sometimes higher, than that percentage students pay elsewhere. By comparing salary levels to tuition levels in any given state, a far different picture emerges than the one painted by the University president. I guess it’s still true that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will come to believe it. Sharon Karpinski UNM Student
Be mindful of how you live every moment; save Earth Editor, If you truly desire happiness, become aware of what is truly happening in each moment. Immerse yourself in that and deal with it as best as you can and leave everything else to whatever is the Source of All That Is. Our species has two choices: 1) Refuse to mature to our potential, continue to divide into warring camps and play the juvenile game of “win/lose,” which makes us all losers and ensures that our species cannot survive. Or 2) Understand that we are not interacting with each other and the planet in our best interest. It will result in the planet no longer sustaining us, which means we can no longer survive. We must begin interacting with each other and the planet in a “win/win” way. That means we speak and act in ways that demonstrate that we have compassion for the planet and its inhabitants. These are our two choices, and each is living by one of these two every day of our lives. Become mindful of the choice you are making on a moment-to-moment basis and determine if you are living your life in a way that is ensuring our demise or enhancing our survival chances. The choice is yours, and you are making it. If the outcomes of the choices you are making don’t feel good, make other choices. Until our species’ main agenda matures beyond focusing on winners and losers to focusing on what makes us all winners, the likelihood we will survive much longer is questionable. As if we did not already have enough to worry about, a news report said that gray squirrels are attacking people in Vermont, and it’s a concern that they’ll migrate to other states.

Letters We can either fight wars or rebuild America’s economy Editor, What kind of leader would you like to be? Our involvement in Libya may not seem related to the health of our planet, but it brings up interesting issues. President Obama said that we are in Libya because we have a responsibility to be a world leader. I say that we are hardly a world leader, except perhaps in military. Would you rather lead the world in battles won or smallest carbon footprint, enemies engaged or research funded? Here are a few categories that are ahead of the curve:
The good • Country with the most coastline: ninth • Overall potential for renewable energy: second • Percentage of waste recycled: seventh
GPSA presidential candidate could fix top-heavy structure Editor, The completion of the 2011 legislative session in Santa Fe is just the beginning of the new year for UNM. With tuition increases looming and line items decreasing University-wide, the ability to converse, negotiate and compromise diplomatically is a necessary attribute to our leadership in the upcoming year. As student leadership elections approach, graduate and professional students can find that leader in GPSA Presidential Candidate Joseph Dworak. From working alongside GPSA as an undergraduate and within the executive branch, I have witnessed firsthand the deficiencies in GPSA’s structure. The organization is top heavy while the council, a board composed of representatives from campus departments, has little ability to
The bad • Most carbon emissions: second • Highest water polluters: second It’s estimated that we spend millions each day fighting wars. Meanwhile, our economy is bad, there aren’t enough jobs, and our carbon footprint gets bigger every day. The president is right. We should be a world leader. But being a leader is about more than just having a stellar military. Obama said our involvement in Libya is a response to a threat to our “interests and values,” but what about our other interests and values, ones that have a foothold here in this country, and also all over the world? A fraction of the money we spend in one day fighting wars could open an aquarium, set up a renewable energy company, or build 10,000 hybrid cars. Each provides more jobs, strengthens our economy and helps save Earth just a little bit. The United States ranks ninth for the most coastline, but we hardly utilize this resource, at least for more than fishing and beachfront hotels. participate in the GPSA’s organizational process. Much of the organization is cumbersome to navigate, and separation of legislative and executive branches is blurry. Dworak sees this disorder and is committed to strengthening and legitimizing GPSA. Dworak streamlined organizations in the past, such as creating an electronic application system that allowed for an organized, accessible and transparent funding process as chair of a committee that appropriated $800,000 in student fees. This semester alone, Dworak put in hundreds of hours working with the Constitutional Committee to rewrite and reorganize the GPSA constitution, a document approved by the council this weekend. He wants to ensure that the president does not overstep his or her position and accords the appropriate powers to GPSA’s legislative branch — a reflection of our nation’s democratic process. Past leadership experiences around the University have allowed Dworak to form solid and respectful relationships with faculty, staff
Marine preserves are an excellent way to protect vital ecosystems, and they also bring in more sustainable profits than destroying the land for property development or overfishing. Ecotourism creates jobs in industries, and provides essential protection to resources that are disappearing. When you think about our “interests and values,” shouldn’t they include sustainability, conservation, economic growth and lower unemployment? Being a world leader should mean leading the way in moving our world forward. It should include fighting for interests, but not the kind of fighting done with no-fly zones and anti-aircraft guns. I want to be a leader that values the world’s long-term health, instead of one focused on the short-term reordering of a country. I want to lead the world into an age of sustainable coastline practices, one that values economic success and protects natural resources. And I hope that you do, too. Jessica Stephens UNM student
and students by acting as a representative of their interests and dedicating his time to work towards their goals. Dworak understands that, if elected, he must represent and collaborate with undergraduate and graduate students and gain respect from both groups. He understands that strengthening the organization of GPSA will help increase its legitimacy, much of which has been decimated in past years. As an active member of GPSA, I believe that Dworak is committed to increasing GPSA’s legitimacy, accessibility and transparency. He is familiar with the University and its operating system while also experiencing the process on a state and national level. He is well-rounded, approachable and dedicated to improving GPSA and affording the students he will represent the best outcomes possible. Vote for Dworak online from Monday through Thursday.

GOP battles tea party expectations by Laurie Kellman Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The tea partyers who helped drive GOP gains in the last election rallied in the city they love to hate Thursday, urging Republican House leaders — Speaker John Boehner above all — to resist the drive toward compromise in the protracted fight over the federal budget. Even, they say, if that means Congress fails to do its most important job: pay for the government. “Cut it or shut it!” several hundred tea partyers chanted from their gathering place outside in the rain. But across Constitution Avenue and inside the Capitol’s thick walls, the lawmakers themselves huddled over the first glint of a deal with President Barack Obama to keep the government running for the next six months. And it was shaping up to cut $33 billion, far less than the $100 billion that Republicans promised on the campaign trail and the tea partyers are demanding. Boehner, a House veteran of two decades, tried to prepare the no-compromise crowd earlier in the day. Like it or not, he made clear, a budget compromise loomed on the horizon. “We control one half of one third of the government here in Washington,” Boehner told reporters at his weekly briefing. “We can’t impose our will on the Senate. All we can do is to fight for all of the spending cuts that we can get an agreement to.” Bullfeathers, shot back tea partyer Tom Altman. “They’re chicken. They’re cowards,” said the 60-year-old resident of Westmoreland County, Pa., who says
he’s been active in Republican politics. Nonetheless, he said of the House’s ruling GOP officials: “They’re our employees. We need to fire them.”
“What I tell folks is: this is like Fort Sumter in the Civil War. This is the first fight. The big battle is still ahead of us.” ~Adam Kinzinger U.S. Representative “It’s not the Republican freshmen, it’s Boehner and the Republican leadership,” said Cincinnati retiree Richard Ringo. “Last year, a lot of people thought, ‘Well, the Republicans are in power now, we can relax.’ But they’re doing the same thing they always do, whether it’s the Republicans or the Democrats.” The intensifying talks are as much a test of credibility and clout for the tea party as they are a measure of Boehner’s ability to lead. There’s evidence that some of the 87 members of the freshmen class have been educated by their real bosses — their constituents — on the fact that governing is what lawmakers get paid for. And sometimes compromise is the only path to making policy. “Compromise on the subject of spending is a tough sell. It doesn’t mean it’s an impossible sell,” said freshman Rep. Steve Womack, RArk., a member of the Appropriations Committee who won his seat with
Evan Vucci / AP Photo Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) gestures while addressing a tea party “Continuing Revolution Rally” on Capitol Hill on Thursday.
72 percent of the vote. Though he acknowledges the voters’ mandate to cut spending, “I also live in a realistic world.” Another freshman suggested the tea partyers save their powder. The current, slow-motion showdown is only over a budget to fund the rest of this fiscal year. Just wait, said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, for the fireworks over next year’s budget, as well as a mustpass bill to allow the government to borrow more money to meet its commitments. Republicans hope to use that measure to force further spending cuts on the president. “What I tell folks is: this is like Fort Sumter in the Civil War,” the Illinois Republican said Wednesday. “This
is the first fight. The big battle is still ahead of us.” Such rhetoric reflects an assumption that budget negotiators have harbored for weeks: that with time, those new to Capitol Hill would learn that the only way a budget passes is with spending cuts that all sides agree on. And that means reductions in the end of somewhere South of the $61 billion in the budget the House passed last month. Talks centered on $33 billion in cuts, and there was evidence that members of the broader Republican caucus weren’t balking. “I don’t believe that shutting down government is a solution to the problem. Republicans and Democrats
need to work out a compromise,” said Rep. Charles Bass, R-N.H. “Let’s get this over with and get on to the budget.” The tea party rally Thursday offered headline-grabbing rhetoric aimed at reminding lawmakers of the populist budget-cutting furor that propelled them to power. Headlining the event was the movement’s star and possible presidential contender Michele Bachmann, the top Republican fundraiser in the House. The House’s top Republican leaders did not attend the event. But Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell defended the tea party movement on the Senate floor against Democrats who have suggested it has lost popularity.

managingeditor@dailylobo.com The Bracketbusters are breaking down college basketball’s classist narrative. Little attention has been devoted to the Connecticut-Kentucky Final Four matchup, so much diverted to the little guys’ coming-of-age. Soak it up, Butler and Virginia Commonwealth. No matter how much analysts and pundits try, there’s no trivializing these teams’ arrival on the national scene. Don’t call Butler and Virginia Commonwealth Cinderellas.
They are far more. They’re statistical aberrations. They’re don’t-ever-beton-these-teams-unless-you’re-a-seer long shots. Together, they represent a counterimage to the ever-present pecking order in collegiate athletics. History tells us to embrace this. History tells us this doesn’t happen very often. History tells us this probably won’t happen again for awhile. And unfortunately, after Saturday’s showdown between 11th-seeded VCU and eighth-seeded Butler, one team will be history, a footnote in America’s collective sporting conscious.
It’s a shame that the two teams find themselves on the same side of the bracket. An all-mid-major final would carry so much more weight in legitimizing mid-major teams across the nation. Such an occurrence would guarantee a win for the oft-forgotten on the biggest national stage not named the Super Bowl. What’s not a shame is that in getting to the Final Four both whitehot teams have beaten some of college basketball’s bluebloods. And in the setup of the modern-day

The UNM men’s soccer team is doing its own version of spring training. The Lobos will play two exhibition games Sunday against Fort Lewis at 10 a.m. and CSU-Pueblo at 3:30 p.m. “It’s a funny situation when you play Division II teams,” head coach Jeremy Fishbein said. “Our players may not respect them as much as they should, and for Division II teams, these are huge games for them.” Fort Lewis is a familiar opponent. The Lobos faced the Skyhawks in their 2009 preseason match. UNM defeated the Division II 2009 national champions 2-1 in overtime thanks to two goals from forward Devon Sandoval. Midfielder Lance Rozeboom said games against Division II opponents are always tough. But he said he is confident that the Lobos will come out with two wins. “We have the game against Fort Lewis and that is always a big rivalry,” he said. “They think they can play with us, so we will see what happens there.” Between games, the Lobos will have only a few hours of rest before playing another 90 minutes. Redshirt freshman Carson Baldinger said his team can cope with playing two games the same day. “Well, we don’t have as many players as we would like, but it’s the spring season,” he said. “We are all real fit, and we have done a lot of work this spring, so two games in one day is not that hard. We have done them before in club days, so I think we will be fine.” For many of the six redshirt freshmen, including Baldinger, the spring
season allows them to fight for a starting spot in the fall. After losing standouts like Michael Reed and Matt Armstrong to graduation, Fishbein will be looking to find players to fill voids. “They are going to get to assess themselves against the competition,” he said. “They are going to get to play in the fall, and we get to start working on some combinations of players and see who can play where. This will set the tone for next fall.” So far, the Lobos are 1-1-1 during their spring season after playing Edmonton Football club twice, a Canadian professional team. The Lobos tied Edmonton FC 1-1 in their first game before falling to them 4-1 in their second game. UNM also played Grand Canyon University in Arizona. The Lobos beat Grand Canyon University 2-0. “That first weekend was good,” Rozeboom said. “We had a tough day the second day against the Canadian team, but we did tie them the day before.

Labor issues dominate sports summit talks by Tim Reynolds Associated Press
MIAMI — Jeffrey Kessler and Howard Ganz were attorneys on opposite sides of the dais in a hotel ballroom Thursday, which seemed strangely appropriate given that they were discussing labor issues facing professional sports. Among Kessler’s clients: NBA
Disruption
players. Among Ganz’s clients: the NBA itself. And already, concern is ramping up that the NBA could soon be in the same situation the NFL currently faces. Many in a field of top sports business experts appearing at the World Congress of Sports believe that all major sports leagues — other than baseball — are likely facing labor trouble, with
some predicting that next season’s NBA schedule will be shortened by a work stoppage. Talk of labor issues dominated the two-day event, which ended Thursday. “I think certainly a lockout is by no means inevitable,” said Ganz, the cochair of Proskauer’s Sports Law Group and someone who has advised the NBA on labor issues for more than 30 years. “There is plenty of time left to reach a
new agreement. The parties have been engaged in negotiations. ... I’m sure there will be bargaining sessions scheduled shortly.” The NBA’s current labor deal expires June 30. With the NFL already three weeks into its lockout after talks on a new labor agreement broke down, and with baseball involved in talks on a new deal — its collective bargaining agreement expires
in December, though there are no signs of major trouble looming in its negotiations — there’s widespread speculation across the sports world about what may happen with the NBA. The NBA has said it expects a loss of about $350 million this season, and commissioner David Stern said late last year that owners would aim to reduce player salary costs by about $750 to $800 million annually.

NCAA competitive arena, that’s worth remembering. Conventional wisdom holds that because of the NCAA tournament, college basketball is more egalitarian than the BCS, but it’s just as much an elitist caste system, marked by the same inherited divisions of royalty and peasantry — of wealth, power and tradition. Even filling out a bracket is a reinforcing exercise in conformity. Save the occasional upsets, who would have ever picked this Final Four? It’s an established, and oftentimes proven, practice to pick the dominant programs. It’s the way it always has been, but as the Bulldogs and Rams are proving, not the way it will always be. The Dukes, the Kansases, the Kentuckies, the North Carolinas — teams that stand symbolically as the haves — have but one leg left to stand on (the fourth-seeded Wildcats), and maybe to some extent, two with Connecticut, if they’ve assumed a seat among college basketball’s royal court. What’s troubling is that even after everything they’ve proved in getting to this stage of the tourney, some will continue to think Butler and VCU are nothing more than court jesters — here for our entertainment now, gone later. Yet the fact remains that Butler, with two Final Four appearances in consecutive years, is exhuming its
mid-major roots and scrapping its subservient implied meaning. You can’t write off that last year the Bulldogs were a bucket and a lucky bounce away from pulling out the most improbable, haywire upset that would have turned the classist system on its inflated head. This year, without star player Gordon Hayward, they’re back in the Final Four. From first four to final four, Virginia Commonwealth, led by the scholarly coach Shaka Smart and the Little Engine They Said Couldn’t (Joey Rodriguez), has become the Yuletide story in March that’s gripped the country’s short attention span. And to think, if not for NCAA tournament expansion (from 64 to 68 teams), VCU likely would have missed out on the madness. So don’t take this for granted. Take Saturday’s matchup for the experience it is. Revel in it. These teams not only represent themselves; they represent the underrepresented, the working class, the marginalized, the underappreciated. They are an ever-evolving metaphor for equality. They are not the rule(-ing), but the exception(al). The hope is that one — it doesn’t matter which — can write the storybook ending to a captivating counterculture narrative. Only then will Bracketbusters no longer be thought of as an underclass, but a class of their own.

Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana — Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer feels as if she’s coming home to the women’s Final Four. She played at Indiana, coached at Ohio State and won four Big Ten titles before turning Stanford into one of the most prestigious programs in women’s basketball. Even her college coach, Bea Gorton, plans to be around for the games in Indianapolis. Now, that’s a Hoosier welcome. “She’s actually in assisted living and will come down to go to the game,” VanDerveer said Wednesday. “That was a long time ago. It’s very exciting and it does have a little special feel to it — and I love the arena.” VanDerveer isn’t the only one eager to get inside Conseco Fieldhouse this weekend. Two-time defending national champ Connecticut, 2001 champion Notre Dame, first-time Final Four participant Texas A&M and VanDerveer’s team, which has finished second twice in the past three years, are all ready to play for a national title. Three of the schools have strong ties to Indiana. There’s VanDerveer, an Indiana University Hall of Famer; UConn forward Kelly Faris, who played prep ball at Heritage Christian; and Notre Dame guard Skylar Diggins, the 2009 Indiana Miss Basketball. And, of course, South Bend is just a short drive away. “We’re hoping a big Notre Dame crowd follows us down to Indy,” Fighting Irish coach Muffet McGraw said. “We are so excited to be playing close to home and hoping for a lot of green in the stands.”
“When you get to the Final Four, you’re going to have to play somebody really, really good. And so are they.” ~Geno Auriemma UCONN Women’s Coach Organizers could benefit from the field, too. With roughly 18,000 seats in the arena and tickets still available, the composition could generate enough excitement locally to sell out the fieldhouse. Spokesman John Dedman acknowledged Wednesday he expects most of those tickets to be gone before Sunday’s two semifinal games, but having Notre Dame, VanDerveer and Faris in town will help. “I think local fans will get to see some really good basketball,” Dedman said. “Hopefully, they were excited about all the teams in the Elite Eight, but now that we’ve got some local story lines, hopefully, they’re even more excited.” Besides, it could be a historic weekend. UConn (36-1) is trying to become the third team to win three straight NCAA titles. Tennessee won three in a row from 1996 to 1998, a mark the Huskies matched from 2002-04. This will also mark the end of Maya Moore’s incredible career. The second four-time

All-American in history reached 3,000 points against Duke on Tuesday night. To win the title, they’ll have to get past homestate favorite and Big East rival Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish (30-7) ended a 20-game losing streak against Tennessee to reach the Final Four, and now get UConn for the fourth time this season. The Huskies swept the previous three games — and they’ll be at a home-court disadvantage. “You don’t like it, but you can’t avoid it,” coach Geno Auriemma said of the matchup. “When you get to the Final Four, you’re going to have to play somebody really, really good. And so are they.” If any team understands the opportunity that comes with playing the same team four times, it’s Texas A&M. The Aggies (31-5) lost three times this season to Baylor, but won the game that mattered most — the Dallas Regional final. Leading scorer Danielle Adams is the first All-American in school history and coach Gary Blair has Final Four experience with Arkansas. Texas A&M draws VanDerveer’s Cardinal (33-2), who are making a fourth straight Final Four appearance. Stanford hasn’t won a title since 1992, but ended UConn’s record 90game winning streak in December and comes to town with two players — Kayla Pedersen and Jeanette Pohlen — who are determined to go out winners. “More than anything, it’s not about me or me going back there but what I feel is to be able to be going with this team,” VanDerveer said. “To share this four times with Jeanette and Kayla.” Whatever happens, Faris wants people to leave with a better idea of what Indiana is all about — basketball. “I don’t live on a farm. I’m more the basketball girl in the driveway,” she said. “When people think of Indiana, they think corn. For me, it’s more than that. It’s home. It’s where I feel comfortable. My shell. It’s the home of basketball.” And now the women’s Final Four.

ing 114 pitches in short sleeves on a frigid afternoon, but Phil Coke served up a tiebreaking homer to ex-Tiger Curtis Granderson in the seventh and Detroit dropped its season opener 6-3 on Thursday. “I just felt absolutely not right. Nothing else to blame but myself,” said Coke, scheduled to move into the rotation April 9. “You’ve got to do your job. I didn’t do my job today. I’m irritated with myself because of it.” Third baseman Brandon Inge, normally a reliable fielder, committed a costly throwing error, and a pair of wild pitches by young relievers Ryan Perry and Daniel Schlereth led to insurance runs for New York. Victor Martinez singled in his first at-bat for Detroit, helping his new team build an early run, and Miguel Cabrera hit a sacrifice fly and scored twice. But by the time Mariano Rivera closed it out for a save, the final 10 Tigers hitters had been retired by New York’s imposing bullpen. “Their bullpen and the long ball is what did us in today,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. “I thought it was actually a decent game for the conditions. It was pretty rough.” Granderson, traded to the Yankees in a December 2009 deal that sent Coke and Austin Jackson to Detroit, also made two terrific plays in center and homered in his third consecutive opener. Jackson, coming off a strong rookie season, struck out three times in the leadoff spot. He also singled and scored. Coke (0-1) was brought in to face Granderson in a lefty-on-lefty matchup to start the bottom of the seventh. Coke fell behind 2-0 and Granderson drove the next pitch into the second deck in right. “Couldn’t throw a strike until he hit it out of the yard,” Coke said. Said Leyland: “He just got behind Granderson and left no doubt what was coming.” With the flags above the lights in right field whipping toward the foul pole, Mark Teixeira connected off Verlander for a three-run shot in the third. “It was a fastball in. He did a pretty good job of turning on it. Not too many hitters can do that,” Tigers catcher Alex Avila said. Slimmed down by 25 pounds after having surgery on his right knee this winter, Yankees starter CC Sabathia gave up six hits and three
runs — two earned — in six innings. Making his third opening day start in three seasons with New York, Sabathia struck out seven and walked two. Joba Chamberlain (1-0), Rafael Soriano and Rivera each pitched a perfect inning. “We’ve got to score early in the game,” Cabrera said. “They’re tough.” Verlander was making his fourth straight opening day start, most for the Tigers since Jack Morris went 10 in a row (1980-90). He was hoping to get off to a quick start after going 1-2 with a 5.29 ERA last year in April before finishing 18-9, and he altered his offseason workout routine to help accomplish that. “Obviously, coming out of the spring that I had, this is not the result that I wanted,” Verlander said. “I felt pretty calm considering opening day, Yankee Stadium — it’s hard to keep your adrenaline in check.” The right-hander reached 97 mph on the radar gun in the first, but walked Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez before striking out Robinson Cano with his 31st pitch of the inning. Verlander gave up just two other hits, including Rodriguez’s oneout double in the sixth that hit the fence in right-center just above the 385-foot marker. He walked Cano, but struck out Nick Swisher and Jorge Posada with two deceptive changeups. “I’m trying to change things around in April. Last April I wore long sleeves,” Verlander said. “The only issue when I felt it was really cold on my body was coming out of the dugout. They have heaters in there.” Jhonny Peralta drove in his first run of the month. After going without an RBI in 66 spring at-bats, he hit a sacrifice fly in his first plate appearance to give Detroit the lead in the second inning. Cabrera lined a single and Martinez hit a hot shot to shortstop that Derek Jeter couldn’t corral. The ball squirted into center for a base hit. Sabathia walked the bases loaded before Peralta flied out. “We did center some balls pretty good off CC, especially early,” Leyland said. “We didn’t have a lot of luck with it.” Detroit closed to 3-2 on Inge’s two-out single in the fourth and tied it on Cabrera’s sacrifice fly in the fifth.
