Mix of bills take different approaches to solvency by John Tyczkowski news@dailylobo.com
One of the Lottery Scholarship bills passed by the House and sent to the Senate would drastically cut the money given to students, while the other would maintain award amounts but expand the amount of time students have to enter higher education institutions. The two bills are substitutes of two other House Bills addressing Lottery Scholarship that were defeated in the Senate. The Lottery Scholarship, which provides tuition for eligible New Mexicans attending state universities, is slated to effectively run out of funds this July if full tuition continues to be awarded to the group of eligible students starting school this fall. HB 27, sponsored by Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton (D-Albuquerque) passed the House by a vote of 49-13 and HB 309, sponsored by Rep. James P. White (R-Albuquerque) passed 46-17. The bills are slated to be heard by the Senate Education committee, hearing date to be determined. HB 27 would give high school students two years rather than 120 days after graduation to enroll in a two-year college or a technical or vocational school, and would give military veterans two years rather than one year after an honorable or medical discharge to enroll in a four-year university. Nonmilitary students attending four-year colleges would still have 120 days. HB 309 would increase the required number of credit hours taken per semester to receive and keep the award from 12 to 15, and decrease the number of semesters of awarded tuition from eight to seven. It also reduces the amount of tuition received by four-year university students to $1,200 per semester, but would still pay full tuition for two-year college students. In-state tuition at UNM for full-time students was $3,024 this semester. Hearings began Monday in the House Education Committee on HB 586, co-sponsored by Rep. James E. Smith (R-Sandia Park) and Sen. Tim Keller (D-Albuquerque), and will continue throughout the week. This bill was drafted with

UNM wins cyber defense competition by John Tyczkowski news@dailylobo.com
In its second year of competing, UNM’s team won the Rocky Mountain Regional Cyber Defense Competition. It failed to place last year. The team informed the Daily Lobo of their victory, which had not been officially announced as of press time. UNM’s victory breaks a winning streak by the Air Force Academy, which won the regional competition in 2011 and 2012, its first two years of competing. The competition was a roleplaying scenario in which teams composed of students managed a business network, and teams of network-penetration testing professionals attempted to compromise the network, at random times disable systems or steal private information. The competition forced the student teams to meet the technical demands of maintaining network security while satisfying “clients” and providing business services. Professor Alex Seazzu, director of the Center for Information Assurance Research and Education in the Anderson School of Management, which offers the information assurance concentration for MBA students, worked closely with UNM’s team. “We tried to emphasize lessons learned from the past. The team had more resources and experiences to draw from than from the first time we participated,” he said in an email. “They clearly were very good at adapting, which is a key element in cyber security.” Members of the team said they were surprised by how well they did.

We even had our ‘company’s CIO’ come in and scold us from time to time.” The sole undergraduate member of the team, Colin Williams, a computer science major with a minor in business, said the technical side of the competition was
just as varied. “They hit us with denial-of-service attacks and changed the settings of our printers, to name some things,” Williams said. “One time they even made the LCD screen on one of our printers display an Aggie.” Despite its win, UNM’s team will not be allowed to participate in the national competition, to be held in San Antonio next month.

According to a UNMPD report, “a male subject was threatening and menacing a couple as they walked on the sidewalk” along Central Avenue on Feb. 27. Two patrolling officers saw a group of three people arguing and one of them was holding a large rock. When the officers approached, the subject ran across the street. The officers caught up with him, and the subject told them he was upset about the way the man was escorting his wife down the street. The officers caught up with the other subjects who said the other man was threatening the husband, stating that he was going to “kick his ass.” They also said the man was simulating kicks and

Assault with car door reported at clinic A woman pulled into her parking space at the Family Health Clinic and opened the door when the wind reportedly blew the door out of her hand. It struck the SUV parked next to her. She grabbed the door and tried to get out, but the man in the SUV next to her opened his door and pinned her leg between her car and her car door, according to the report. He then reportedly tried to hit her with the door when she got out of the car. She then got back inside and closed the door, called UNMPD and drove to another area. Police checked the area for a dark blue SUV with a partial New Mexico license plate of 1UNM, but the woman did not know the entire license plate number or make and model of the vehicle. There was no further information available at the time of the report.

Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez dies
CARACAS, Venezuela — Some in anguish, some in fear, Venezuelans raced for home and stocked up on food and water Tuesday after the government announced the death of President Hugo Chavez, the larger-than-life firebrand socialist who led the nation for 14 years. Vice President Nicolas Maduro’s voice broke and tears ran down his face as he appeared on national television to announce that Chavez died at 4:25 p.m. local time (3:55 p.m. EST) “after battling hard against an illness over nearly two years.” He did not say what exactly killed Chavez, although the government had announced the previous night that a severe new respiratory infection had severely weakened him. A few hours later, Foreign Minister Elias Jaua affirmed one of Chavez’s final wishes: Maduro would be interim president and then be the ruling party’s candidate to carry on Chavez’s populist “revolution” in elections to be called within 30 days. It was a day fraught with mixed signals, some foreboding and some violent. Just a few hours before announcing Chavez’s death, Maduro made a virulent speech against enemies he claimed were trying to undermine Venezuelan democracy. And he said two U.S. military

Professors driven to advertise own classes Instructors not paid for classes canceled for low enrollment
by Elizabeth Cleary
editorinchief@dailylobo.com Between 2008 and 2011, the English department approved professor John Knapp to teach a number of upper-division courses at UNM West multiple semesters in a row, but the classes continuously failed to meet the enrollment quota. The classes were canceled, and he wasn’t paid for them. Knapp decided to take matters into his own hands, and when he was assigned to teach a class called Lucifer in Literature at UNM West last semester, he printed fliers on bright yellow paper and posted them around the UNM West and main campuses. “I used to be in a band that played on the strip in Hollywood, so fliering was something you really need to know how to do,” he said. After fliering, eight students signed up for the class, the minimum number for the class to not be canceled at UNM West. This semester, when asked to teach the course again, he “went nuts” with the fliers. “I worked hard to make something that looked appealing and then I put it everywhere I could possibly think of,” Knapp said.
This semester, the number of students who signed up for his class doubled. The practice of advertising classes with fliers is a fairly common one. Adjunct professors such as Knapp, and particularly those who teach more subject-specific, upper-division courses, must promote their classes themselves to ensure the classes are not canceled. Self promotion can be crucial because often for adjuncts, no classes means no money. Professor George Sieg, who teaches three upper-division history courses at UNM West and one lower-division course at the main campus, said he depends on teaching his classes to pay off his education. Sieg has a doctorate in esotericism. “It was actually a bit stressful to me, because I knew if these courses didn’t make it I would be economically crushed, (I depend) on teaching the maximum, like four classes for an adjunct, just to pay off my education,” he said. Sieg teaches three classes at UNM West: History of Esotericism, History of Occultism and History of Magic. Like Knapp, Sieg put in work to promote his classes to ensure enough students enrolled.

“I went to all the advisers and advisement offices and gave them fliers and course descriptions,” he said. “I fliered the main campus a number of times — I even took fliers off campus a number of times to stores and places on Central.” UNM West struggled for a while to fill its classes. The Rio Rancho campus, which moved into a new facility in January 2010, only offers 300- and 400-level classes and employs only adjunct professors. UNM West Executive Director Beth Miller said that this semester, the campus planned for 88 sections of classes, but had to cancel nearly a quarter of them, or 21 sections, due to low enrollment. In comparison, 6 percent of the courses on main campus were canceled due to low enrollment, said Terry Babbitt, the vice president of enrollment management. At UNM West, classes must have a minimum of eight students enrolled. On main campus, that number varies across departments. But fliering to promote classes is not exclusively a UNM West phenomenon. Professor Xuan Chen, for example, hung a number of elaborate fliers to promote his “Experiencing the Arts” class. The
class is taught online and was not canceled. Chen declined to be quoted for this article. Members of UNM West’s administration said that as they work more closely with departments and students to see what classes would be best to offer at their campus, they anticipate the number of classes canceled due to low enrollment to go down. And it already has, if only slightly. In the spring 2012 semester, 35.1 percent of classes were canceled due to low enrollment. In the fall 2012 semester that number fell to 25.5. In spring 2013 it was down to 23.8 percent. Sieg said that only once was a class he was slated to teach at UNM West canceled. The class was History of Christianity and it was scheduled for last summer. “I also didn’t understand that I was supposed to be advertising,” he said. Sieg said that although departments don’t formally announce to instructors that they should promote classes themselves, it’s becoming the norm. “I think it’s becoming assumed by some of the more enthusiastic instructors that they should advertise their courses,” he said.

next Monday. All across downtown Caracas, shops and restaurants began to close and Venezuelans hustled for home, some even breaking into a run. Many people looked incredulous or anguished. “I feel a sorrow so big I can’t speak,” said Yamilina Barrios, a 39-year-old clerk who works in the Industry Ministry, her face covered in tears. “He was the best this country had.” “I hope the country calms down and continues the work that he left us, continues in unity and the progress continues,” Barrios said. Chavez leaves behind a political movement firmly in control of the nation, but with some doubt about how a new leadership will be formed. Chavez’s illness prevented him from taking the oath of office after he was re-elected to a new term on Oct. 7 and the constitution says the speaker of the National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello, should take over as interim president under such circumstances. But Jaua said Maduro would assume the rule as that was Chavez’s will.

Column
Strong nations rise despite tyrants overseas by Jason Stafford
Daily Lobo guest columnist opinion@dailylobo.com
What greater pride can a nation have than that for having stood up and exercised self determination to free itself from tyranny? What better feeling can a nation feel when each July they see their flag — that red, white and blue — rise high, knowing the legacy that stands behind it? Every nation should be so fortunate to have a group of patriots willing to lead it from subjugation into self determination. Consider this small group, patriots in a colony ruled by a distant empire across the sea. With leaders foisted upon them, supporting policies not for the benefit of the citizens but for foreign businesses. They labored under laws enacted to advance all but themselves and finally came to see they were not citizens at all, but mere subjects. These patriots rose up to shed themselves of tyranny and a government in which they had no representation. In the U.S. Constitution, the Founding Fathers put the preamble first for a reason. It is a mission statement of sorts; the laws in the rest of the document are meant to support it. These ideals in the preamble are essential to liberty, intrinsic to freedom, invaluable to self determination. Without them you cannot have a secure nation, a healthy nation, an educated nation and, most importantly, a sovereign nation. There is no free will nor self determination, as they are a colony; they are subjects, not citizens. At least until a small group revolts. A government with no vested interests but profit, distant from its colony, is no perfect union. A government without presence lacks compassion for its people and cannot establish justice. Force of arms and soldiers used to enforce colonial rule for profit could provide no domestic tranquility. When people have no means to protect themselves or resist, there’s no common defense. When profits are more important than people, there can be no general welfare. These are the basic tenets of our preamble. But one nation and its patriots threw off these shackles of colonialism and imperialism, and
in doing so improved the lives of their citizens at every basic level. Gone were the chains of a government across the sea. Gone were laws made to profit foreign business. Gone was the idea they were mere subjects to an uncaring empire. In its place came education, health care and the knowledge that these things weren’t just changes for the now and for themselves, but for their posterity and future. So their children could grow and have access to the kind of life only the privileged were entitled to before. Education and an ability to rise above. Health care that would raise life expectancy and lower infant mortality. Their children could work for the betterment of their nation, not just to enrich businesses and a government overseas. That their future would have a government of the people, for the people and by the people. That their nation would not be a colony, but a sovereign nation. With a vision and perseverance their desires were accomplished. In fewer than 50 years, the average life expectancy increased from 59.5 years to 77.1. Infant mortality decreased from 32 in 1,000 to five. Mortality in children under 5 years of age decreased from 54 in 1,000 to 6.1. The building of hospitals flourished and preventative medicine and simple hygiene were brought to all in urban and rural areas. During the next 50 years, education became a focus and the dividends were seen in this. Literacy across the board rose from 75 percent to 99.8 percent. In rural areas, often paid no attention while in colonial status except to supply labor, literacy rose from 45 percent to 98 percent. Their efforts can now boast of 100 percent literacy rates among children. Schools and universities exploded across the nation as education became paramount. These patriots led a revolution that pushed off a history of colonialism and imperialistic rule, and replaced it with the betterment of its people — core concepts lost on many of us today as we benefit from a healthy system in place for hundreds of years. It’s easy in retrospect to lose sight of what gifts these must have been for those subjects who became citizens. Not just to those living in those times, but their children and their children’s, know-
ing their children would have access to the fruits of a system they were previously denied. A system that now provides education, health care and life expectancy, concepts that are difficult to comprehend as lacking today, yet rarities to these subjects in the past. These ideologies came about because a nation had a small group of visionaries willing to fight against a corrupt and abusive colonial system. A group willing to embrace the ideals of our preamble ensuring a future for their growing country. This was a group who suffered through hardships and deprivation to fight not just for their freedom and that of their countrymen, but for the changing and removal of a system that was designed to make them subjects. Led by the father of their country, against all odds, against the will and wishes of the largest empire in the world at the time, succeeded in securing their right to self determination and a government led by their own people. This nation was Cuba, and its patriots were men such as Raul Castro, Camilo Cienfuegos and their leader, the father of their new country, Fidel Castro. They took up arms to oust a government that worked not for the benefit of their people, but for vested business interests of the United States. United Fruit Company was the exploiter here, much like the Saint Johns Bay company was for England in the United States colonies. They chose to fight for the opportunity to lead Cuba and remove the control of a far-flung empire across the sea. And despite American claims to support free will of the people and self determination, it was not supportive it in this case, despite all evidence that this colony of subjects suffered under its reaching rule. Instead, the United States immediately enacted a policy and efforts to work externally to subdue and remove a government that came about from the will of the residents of the nation itself. A policy they would repeat in Vietnam and seek to repeat today in Egypt. Because these countries acted in self determination, but contrary to the desires and wants of the United States. Despite financing and supplying invasions of Cuba, a plethora of failed assassination attempts on Fidel Castro, and a decades-long embargo imposed on Cuba, the nation has
thrived. To actually best the U.S. in literacy rates, life expectancy and infant mortality rates — core needs of a people. What couldn’t Cuba have done if it hadn’t had to work against the constant attempts of the U.S. to undermine it? It could probably be a nation filled with a population that matched the standards of what Americans hold dear: a flat screen TV in every room to watch reality television. It’s easy to judge Cuba from an American point of view, in terms of what it lacks, but the perspective of a nation whose citizens have been assured of quality of life and education for hundreds of years might be a flawed perspective to judge a nation that has had it for mere decades. A nation that had to fight for itself against corrupt leadership supported by the largest empire in the world. An empire that at its foundation speaks of a government of the people, for the people and by the people, but seems determined not to let it happen elsewhere. It’s time for America to look at its perspective on how it judges and treats other nations and the desires of their people. Even if those people in those nations choose to have a nation that does not fit into America’s view of what a nation should be. Those people in those nations live there with a vested interest in their country outside of profit and political morals. It’s time for America to not just espouse self determination as an ideal, but to embrace it as an idea and justice for all.

contributions from ASUNM President Caroline Muraida and former Student Regent Jacob Wellman. The bill would turn the Lottery Scholarship into a need-based award. The bill would grant partial scholarships to some students based on family income. Students whose families make less than $54,000 a year would receive a full award. Students whose families have combined annual incomes between $54,000 and $100,000 would receive 85 percent of the scholarship and students whose families make more than $100,000 would receive 70 percent of the award. The fiscal impact report released for the bill cites as an issue the fact that the bill bases the scaled award on total family income. The report suggests instead basing the award on a total family contribution, including family income and other financial assets, to the student’s education.

The UNM baseball team dominated La Salle 16-3 Tuesday to snap a four-game losing streak, but head coach Ray Birmingham wasn’t satisfied with his team’s performance. Birmingham cited poor at-bats and the three errors the team committed as to why he wasn’t pleased. Sophomore first baseman Alex Real made all three of the errors during the third inning. “It wasn’t a very well-played ball game at all,” Birmingham said Tuesday at Isotopes Park. “We just can’t go a game without a defensive error. We haven’t had any trouble before … we led the Mountain West Conference in fielding percentage last year. It’s high school stuff, and it’s not just one guy — you can’t even get these guys to do the routine things.” Senior outfielder Luke Campbell said the Lobos played a solid game
and that the team needed this victory. “This is huge for us right now to just get back into town,” he said. “We just need things to start going in the right direction.” The Lobos were down early to the Explorers 3-2, but in the bottom of the third UNM took its first lead of the game after junior outfielder John Pustay hit a two-RBI single to give the Lobos a 4-3 advantage. Junior outfielder Chase Harris added a run to UNM’s lead after Pustay was caught stealing a base. UNM added two more runs in the bottom of the fourth thanks to an RBI single by senior catcher Mitch Garver and junior third baseman DJ Peterson. In the bottom of the sixth inning, leading 7-3, UNM broke open the game with four runs for an 11-3 edge. The final two runs of the inning came off Campbell’s two-run home run. It was Campbell’s first dinger since May 6, 2011 against Air Force.
UNM added five more runs in the bottom of the eighth to seal the game. Senior outfielder Josh Melendez brought in the final two runs of the game with his third hit of the game a two-RBI double. Junior pitcher Josh Walker picked up his first victory of the season by tossing three shutout innings of relief with four hits and five strikeouts. Sophomore starting pitcher Alex Estrella went three and two thirds innings giving up three runs on five hits. Senior left handed pitcher Gabe Aguilar and freshman pitcher Taylor Duree joined for two and a third innings, allowing zero hits. “I know my job is to go in and throw strikes,” Walker said. “I was able to do that tonight and I got some good defensive play behind me tonight.” Three Lobos had three or more hits and as a team UNM had 16 hits combined. La Salle (2-6) had nine hits with sophomore right fielder Justin Korenblatt leading the way with three hits and two RBIs.

Champs get stress-free week by J.R. Oppenheim
assistantsports@dailylobo.com @JROppenheim Mission accomplished? Not quite yet. The No. 12 New Mexico Lobos may have wrapped up the MWC regular-season title race, but there is still work to be done. Two games are on the schedule before next week’s MWC Tournament
at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev. The Lobos travel to Reno, Nev., to battle Nevada tonight and continue the road trip to Colorado Springs for a Saturday matchup with Air Force. Because this week has no effect on the conference tourney, head coach Steve Alford said the games are a chance for his team to play in a pressure-free environment. The Lobos will be
able to go out and have some fun, he said. “It’s been a grind after grind after grind and the players have been under all kinds of pressure,” he said. ”It’s no pressure this week; it doesn’t affect our seeding in the conference tournament. We’re conference champs. We’re the No. 1 seed.”

Dog-tired is the norm during Iditarod race by Mark Thiessen and Rachel D’Oro
The Associated Press ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Imagine standing on a sled behind a team of 16 dogs, traveling mile after desolate mile in the Alaska wilderness without any sign of other human life. All of a sudden, lights shine off in the distance, the first village to come into view in a very long time. Whether it’s a single cabin or a booming village of several hundred people, for mushers on the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, the villages are not only checkpoints to eat, rest and recharge, but a chance to interact with someone other than their dogs. “There are no checkpoints that I dislike,” said defending champion Dallas Seavey. “Every time you come around the corner and see the lights of a checkpoint approaching, it’s a great sight.” Four-time champion Martin Buser rested at the checkpoint in Rohn after a blistering fast 170mile run that had put him hours ahead of the other teams.

Italy the underdog in WBC by Jonathan Dalton The Associated Press
PHOENIX — Anthony Rizzo knew playing for Italy for the World Baseball Classic was different as soon as he heard his name announced. “Everything is more pronounced down here,” said Rizzo, who was introduced with emphasis on the “Ree” in “Riz-zo” before Italy’s 4-3 exhibition loss to the Oakland Athetics on Tuesday. “It’s pretty cool.” Rizzo homered off the right-field scoreboard in the fourth inning, one of Italy’s four hits against five pitchers. “We didn’t get the bats going today but we’ve got some guys who can hit,” said Rizzo, who is joined by fellow major leaguers Nick Punto, Chris Denorfia, Alex Liddi, Pat Venditte and Drew Butera. Italy’s baseball history dates to the end of World War II, when the game was brought to the region by American servicemen. While the soccer Azzurri are an international power, the country’s greatest baseball moment came in the 2009 WBC, when it eliminated Canada with a 6-2 victory in a preliminary round.
Italy’s only other WBC victory came in the inaugural 2006 tournament, a 10-0 rout of Australia that was shortened to seven innings. “I hope we can shock the world,” said Tyler Latorre, a catcher in the San Francisco organization who caught the final three innings. “We have to do that since we’re in a group that includes the USA, Canada and Mexico. No one is giving us a shot, but that’s the nature of baseball. We’ll go out and have fun. We’re a scrappy team.” Italy begins the first round Thursday against Mexico. “It was kind of cool hearing the Italian anthem and the national anthem,” Rizzo said. “But once you get between the lines, it’s baseball and I’m playing the A’s, and I’m familiar with them. I think once it’s Mexico versus Italy or Canada and the USA, it’ll be pretty neat.” John Mariotti, a right-hander who last year pitched for Quebec of the independent Can-Am League, started and allowed two runs on two hits. Alessandro Maestri pitched a scoreless second but Christopher Cooper, a left-hander for San Marino of the Italian Baseball League, gave up two runs and three hits,
including a single that left fielder Mike Constanzo appeared to lose in the sun. Chris Colabello, an infielder in the Minnesota organization, homered to lead off the seventh for Italy. Oakland left-hander Brett Anderson cruised through three innings, giving up only an infield single and a walk while striking out three. “It’s just another day,” Anderson said. “I got my work in, got some good innings, have some positives and some things to work on. Hopefully I can build my stuff, keep throwing scoreless innings and keep up with the other pitchers.” Coco Crisp and Jed Lowrie singled and scored in the first. In the third, Crisp reached on an infield single to shortstop, stole second and scored on a double by Lowrie. Yoenis Cespedes drove in Lowrie on a single to deep left that Washington farmhand Mike Costanzo shied away from at the last moment. It was the Cuban outfielder’s second hit of spring training in 14 at-bats. Constanzo added an RBI double in the ninth. He was thrown out at home, ending the game when he tried to score on a wild pitch

Basketball from page 6 Tonight’s matchup features two teams on opposite extremes in the MWC standings. UNM (25-4, 12-2 MWC) clinched the regular-season title Saturday afternoon with its win against Wyoming and Colorado State’s 78-65 loss at Boise State. Nevada, meanwhile, sits in last place with a 3-11 MWC mark. The Wolf Pack is 12-16 this season, the second-worst overall record among conference teams. It enters tonight’s game off an 80-63 loss to in-state rival UNLV. In their previous matchup on Feb. 2, UNM captured a 75-62 win over Nevada. It was the first time the two teams had squared off on a basketball court. Though Nevada sits in the MWC cellar, sophomore center Alex Kirk said UNM doesn’t take any team lightly. “We know how important this week is, even though we’ve still won the title,” he said. “We’re still going to be focused on Nevada … and then we’re going to move on to Air Force, then move on to the tournament.” Nevada ranks at or near the bottom in many statistical categories. Through 14 conference games, the Wolf Pack is last in scoring defense (71.1 points per game), scoring margin (losing by 9.1 points per game), field goal percentage defense (.468) and 3-point defense (.390).
Offensively, Nevada has scored 62.1 points per game in MWC play. Only Fresno State and Wyoming have fewer points per game in conference games. The Wolf Pack shoots .415 from the field and .302 from the 3-point line. Senior guard Malik Story leads Nevada in scoring, netting 16.4 points per game this season. He put up 24 points against UNLV. Junior guard Deonte Burton joins Story in a double-digit scoring average with 15.8 per game. UNM’s Kendall Williams has climbed to ninth among MWC scorers. The junior guard averages 13.9 points per game in 28 contests, conference and nonconference. Kirk’s average has increased to 12 points and eight rebounds per conference game, and junior Tony Snell has 11.7 points per game. The Lobos are still No. 1 in the MWC in scoring defense, limiting conference foes to 58.6 points per game. Even without much on the line this week, Alford said his team is still focused for its upcoming games. “They wouldn’t be in this program if that wasn’t the case,” he said. “Our program has always been about that, and we’re very good on the road. I expect us to be good on the road this week.”

sports@dailylobo.com @ThomasRomeroS
Consistency hasn’t been the mantra for the UNM women’s basketball team during MWC play. Since the start of conference action Jan. 9, the Lobos have alternated losses with victories and will continue that pattern if they manage to defeat Nevada today and Air Force on Saturday. Head coach Yvonne Sanchez said the final two games of the season versus the Wolf Pack and the Falcons are important in trying to garner some muchneeded momentum. “That’s all about it this week, is gaining some momentum for the conference tournament,” she said at Monday’s weekly press conference. “We’re fortunate to stay home. Nevada isn’t a walk in the park — they beat Fresno (State) at Fresno. We just have to play our game.” The Lobos are coming off a 72-50 loss at Wyoming, while the Wolf Pack has gone 1-7 since losing to New Mexico 69-66 on Feb 2. Nevada’s last win came at Fresno State 60-54 on Feb. 20. In the first contest, Nevada outrebounded UNM 45-35 and freshman post Whitney Johnson said keeping the Wolf Pack off the glass is a high priority.
“We need to pick it up in transition defense because they like to run,” she said. “They’re very physical and very scrappy. They really crash the boards and that’s something that we emphasized in practice today.”
“They’re going to be the foundation of something very good in the future.” ~Yvonne Sanchez head coach UNM averages one more point per game than Nevada at 58.7, and the Lobos are 12-2 when scoring 60 points or more, but are 3-10 when they allow 60 plus points. Junior guard Danika Sharp leads the Wolf Pack in scoring, averaging 13.4 points per game, while senior guard Chanelle Brennan is second on the team with 13.3 points per contest. The Lobos are led by senior guard Caroline Durbin who scores 12.1 points per game. The Wolf Pack is last in the MWC in field goal percentage, hitting .352 percent of its shots,
but the Lobos normally allow opponents to hit .378 percent of their attempts. These will be the final two home games for seniors Jourdan Erskine, Jayme Jackson, Chinyere Nnaji and Durbin. Sanchez said she can’t put into words what the seniors have meant to the team, particularly Erskine, Nnaji and Durbin. “I can’t thank them enough,” Sanchez said. “Jourdan, Chin and Caroline have been through the gambit — they’ve continued to play hard and they’ve represented the University of New Mexico very well. They’re going to be the foundation of something very good in the future and we’re not going to forget them.” Sophomore Antiesha Brown said she wants to send the seniors off right with two home wins. “It’s a really big deal,” she said. “Our seniors have really gone through a lot with this program and it’s a really big deal to us as a team to show them how much we appreciate them. We want to play hard for them, so when it’s our turn, the underclassmen will play hard for us.” Women’s basketball vs. Nevada Today 6:30 p.m. The Pit

Column
Lobos may take top spot in NCAA brackets by J.R. Oppenheim
assistantsports@dailylobo.com @JROppenheim It’s easy to get caught up in March Madness this time of year, especially when the hometown Lobos make a lot of noise. New Mexico, up to No. 12 in the media poll and No. 11 in the coaches poll this week, has already won the Mountain West regular-season title and clinched the No. 1 seed for next week’s MWC tournament in Las Vegas, Nev. With two games remaining and a conference tournament on the horizon, head coach Steve Alford’s squad still has work before NCAA tourney begins. That won’t stop the ever-present speculation, however. What seed will the Lobos be for the national tournament? With the Lobos at 25-4 overall on the season, will they be a No. 1 seed?
Sledding
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi, known as the network’s premier “bracketologist” for predicting the NCAA tournament, on Tuesday morning had New Mexico at a No. 3 seed playing in Los Angeles’ West Region. Another tournament expert for CBS, Jerry Palm, puts the Lobos as a No. 2 seed. That seeding feels much more likely if New Mexico wins out and claims its second-consecutive MWC tournament crown. It would be the highest seed yet granted to the team. However, earning one of the top four seeds is asking an awful lot, even with the strong résumé UNM boasts. As of Monday, UNM has the nation’s third best strength of schedule, according to information from the Athletics Department. Surviving a grueling conference race that included a sweep of Colorado State and two-game splits with San Diego State and UNLV, the Lobos also have key nonconference wins against
Cincinnati and Davidson. UNM went 13-2 in nonconference play, and those foes have a .622 winning percentage. The Lobos are also No. 2 in RPI, or ratings percentage index, a confusing formula that considers a team’s record, its opponents’ records and the records of its opponents’ opponents. Bottom line, high RPI is good — and UNM’s is high. That’s the argument Lobos fans have for a top seed, but there are some other things to consider, such as the other teams up for top seed consideration. This season Gonzaga is the top team in the land, holding a 29-2 record, cruising through the West Coast Conference without a loss. The Zags, ranked ninth in RPI, will play in their conference semifinal tonight and should capture that title. The NCAA selection committee will be hard pressed not to give Gonzaga a No. 1 seed.
Indiana is expected get a top seed as well. This top team in the preseason polls has a one-game lead over Michigan in the Big Ten, hands-down the best basketball conference this year. The Hoosiers are sixth in RPI as well. The winner of the Atlantic Coast Conference will also get a top seed — if the winner is Duke or Miami, that is. The Blue Devils are the only team with a higher RPI than New Mexico and, heading into Tuesday’s night’s game against Virginia Tech, had the same overall record as the Lobos. If Miami wins, the Hurricanes will likely have to go through Duke to do so. Miami, third in RPI, has already proven it can beat Duke with a 27-point beatdown Jan. 28. When the two teams played against each other last Saturday, Duke won by just three points.
If it’s a Duke-Miami ACC final, perhaps both teams can get a No. 1 seed. Arguments can also be made for Kansas, Georgetown and Michigan — all teams with more name recognition and ranked ahead of UNM in the AP poll. Everything hinges on how the conference tournaments shake out. That includes the Mountain West Conference, which isn’t a walk in the park for UNM. UNLV, San Diego State and Colorado State have proven they can hang with the Lobos, so anything can happen. Even if UNM doesn’t get one of those top seeds and settles for a two or a three, that still puts the Lobos in an excellent position for NCAAs. Given the closeness of its games this year, UNM is a battle-tested team that will give any tourney team fits, regardless of seeding.
“And it’s an open-armed greeting, where they want to make sure all the dogs are OK, and they get straw for them and food for them,” said Zirkle, running her 13th Iditarod. “Then they say, ‘How are you doing, Aliy?’” There are two ghost towns that serve as checkpoints along the trail, including the race’s namesake, the former mining village of Iditarod, which once boasted a population of 10,000 people. The ghost towns fill up with support staff during the race, but are empty the rest of the year. But other villages are just like small towns in the Lower 48. “They have schools, they have
post offices, they have a runway,” race spokeswoman Erin McLarnon said. “They’re basically like any small town community except inaccessible,” she said of the state’s limited road system. “You can only get there by dog team, snowmachine or air.” The checkpoints serve a purpose. Veterinarians staff the checkpoints to examine the dogs, and race officials make sure the mushers are fit to continue. Mushers are required to take three mandatory rest periods during the race. They take one 24-hour layover any time during the race. They must take one eight-hour rest at a checkpoint along the Yukon River, and the other eight-hour rest
at White Mountain, 77 miles from the finish line in Nome. The village of Takotna is becoming a popular place for mushers to take the longer rest period. It comes 329 miles into the race, at a time when the dogs are ready for a break and mushers need a good meal. And why not at a foodie village? The town of about 50 people on the Takotna River is renowned for filling the school gym with homemade pies, moose stew, moose chili, steaks and made-to-order breakfasts for grateful mushers. Seavey takes his 24-hour layover at Takotna, where the town’s volunteers provide mushers hot food and other things that might seem minor,
such as “a microwave with a hot wet towel to take care of a quick — well, I wouldn’t call it a shower, but wipe your face off and get some of the grime off your hands and face.” Some mushers are finding Takotna a little too crowded these days. “It doesn’t matter if you’re first or 50th, it seems like the whole damn race is in Takotna at the same time,” four-time champion Lance Mackey said. Overcrowding is leading some mushers to continue 23 miles to the next checkpoint at Ophir — another ghost town where they, and the dogs, can recharge for the next grueling stretch.
from page 7
Buser reached Rohn Monday and took his mandatory 24-hour rest there, watching other mushers arrive and leave, before he departed at 12:03 p.m. Tuesday. Buser’s layover put Aaron Burmeister in the lead Tuesday. He was the first in and out of the Nikolai checkpoint 75 miles past Rohn, arriving at 8:11 a.m. and departing a little more than four hours later. Running second was last year’s Iditarod runner-up, Aliy Zirkle, who left Nikolai at 1:13 p.m. Tuesday. There are 26 checkpoints along the 1,000-mile trail from Anchorage to Nome, and for Zirkle, the reception that teams receive are truly Alaska events: Villagers welcome the dogs first.
