Rebels hope to dance past Badgers The hardcourt Rebels begin their journey in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002 when No. 12 seed Ole Miss takes on No. 5 seed Wisconsin from Kansas City at 11:40 a.m. The contest will be televised by TruTV. BY TYLER BISCHOFF tfbischo@go.olemiss.edu

Ole Miss is in the NCAA tournament for the first time in a decade and will look to knock off the Wisconsin Badgers in the second round today at 11:40 a.m. from the Sprint Center in Kansas City on TruTV. Sophomore point guard Jarvis Summers was cleared to play and practice with the team Wednesday before participating in a shootaround Thursday, according to Ben Garrett of OMSpirit.com. This will be Summers’ first game back after suffering a concussion against Missouri last Friday in the SEC Tournament. In his absence, freshman point guard Derrick Millinghaus had been moved into the starting role, and sophomore guard LaDarius White had switched from wing to point guard. Fifth-seeded Wisconsin brings a slower tempo and a stifling defense. Wisconsin ranks 321st out of 345 teams in pos-
sessions per 40 minutes, while Ole Miss ranks 16th in the nation in that regard. Defensively, the Badgers allow just .9 points per possession, 12th best in the country, while Ole Miss scores 1.09 points per possession, good for the 29th-best offense in the country. Wisconsin allows 13.4 attempted 3-pointers per game, but just 3.9 makes. The Badgers’ 29.2 percent 3-point defense ranked 11th in the nation. “I’m sure that they’re going to try to chase our guys off of that 3-point line,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “But (junior guard) Marshall (Henderson) is so unusual in that everybody tries to keep him from getting shots. Some have kept him from making shots, but no one’s kept him from getting them.” Henderson has attempted at least six shots from beyond the arc in every game this year and is averaging 10.8 attempts per game with 3.9 of them going in. Ole Miss will not have to play perfectly to knock off Wis-
consin. In the Rebels’ run to the SEC title, they were outrebounded by opponents and had more turnovers than assists. “It was all about the grind for us,” Kennedy said. “It was all about defending. It was all about coming up with 50-50 balls, loose balls. Friday’s going to be a battle. We’ve got to take the same approach.” The Badgers are led by junior guard Ben Brust, who averages 11.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists. Senior forward Ryan Evans averages 10.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game for Wisconsin. Wisconsin finished tied for fourth in the Big Ten, but made a run to the Big Ten title game with wins against Michigan and Indiana before getting knocked off by Ohio State. The Badgers have played 13 games against ranked teams and went 7-6 in those contests. That list includes a 74-56 loss to the Florida Gators in Gainesville back in November. See DANCE, PAGE 5
Medicaid expansion debates
Own a piece of Oxford history
State legislators are working to decide if all Mississippians will benefit from the expansion of the Medicaid program despite the sizeable financial implications involved in doing so.

Mississippi legislators are debating whether the state should expand its Medicaid program at the risk of negatively affecting the state’s finances. This debate stems from a statement released last week by Moody’s Investors Service, which said that states that choose not to expand their Medicaid programs may face large uninsured populations.
All of this is happening while federal payments to hospitals are declining, according to an Associated Press article. “This is actually for people who are out there working but don’t make enough money to provide their own health insurance,” said Mississippi Rep. Bobby Moak, D-Bogue Chitto. “They’re classified as the working poor.” Medicaid is a nationwide program that helps to pay

Steubenville has a guilty verdict, but it barely feels like a victory for women. The case, which garnered national attention due to social media, put two teenage boys on trial for raping a 16-year-old girl last summer. Cell phone pictures and text messages composed much of the evidence. The girl did not remember anything from the night. Trent Mays, 17, was sentenced to at least two years in the state juvenile system, and Ma’lik Richmond, 16, to at least one year. Both could end up being there until they are 21. Sounds like a pretty harsh sentence. I have no idea what Mays and Richmond are going to do without that one or two years of their life, which are definitely wasted spent in T H E D A I LY

the state juvenile system (read: not real jail) reflecting on their abhorrent behavior of callously committing rape and feeling absolutely no remorse about it until there was an inkling of a chance that their football careers were being derailed. Before this angry tangent spirals out of control, let me get to the heart of the matter. People only cared about this rape case because it concerned young football stars and YouTube. Rape and sexual assault happen literally every day to young women all over this country, and not a word is said about it. The American public looks at this Steubenville debacle as if it’s a novelty. It’s suddenly breaking news because social media is involved, but really, the basic story is the same story that unfortunately remains untold for millions of women. I’m not exaggerating when I say millions. Roughly 17 million American women have been victims of attempted or completed rape. One out of every six American women has been the victim of an at-

tempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Every two minutes, someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted. In fact, 97 percent of rapists will never spend a day in jail. I guess a few years in the state juvenile system sounds like a real achievement then, in comparison. Is it naïve of me to expect more from the American public and from our judicial system? Probably, but it doesn’t mean I should lower my expectations of society’s moral compass. Rape is the most unreported crime. Part of that can be attributed to the fact that many women are raped by people they know: friends, acquaintances, husbands, boyfriends. Women are less likely to go to the police and turn their boyfriend in, but even more worrisome, they often don’t recognize that it’s rape. That aside, our society’s approach to rape and sexual assault discourages women from reporting the crimes against them. People are apt to blame victims, attributing a girl’s fate to her choice of dress or alco-

hol intake. Women also feel ashamed. Our society puts so much worth on a woman’s sexual reputation that women don’t want to report they’ve been raped. And if a woman actually does report the crime, the system makes it almost impossible to follow through with prosecution. Out of 100 rapes, 46 get reported. Out of those, 12 will lead to arrest, nine will get prosecuted and five will lead to felony conviction. Does it disgust anyone else to know that out of those 100 rapes, three of the rapists will spend even a single day in prison? The sensationalism of Steubenville might bring attention to the rape culture we have in this country, or people may only care when there are offensive pictures and videos online involved.

for medical services for lowincome people who cannot afford the services on their own. Each program varies in funding by state. According to the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid expansion applies to anyone under the age of 65 whose income falls below 133 percent of the federal poverty level. Moak said he supports the expansion because he believes it will bring more direct jobs in the medical field and save taxpayer dollars if these health costs are covered by Medicaid expansion instead. Clyde Deschamp, professor and chair of general health professions at UMMC, said the issue is not about who supports expansion, but whether the state can afford it. The federal government would provide funding for the expansion for the first few years, but eventually the state would be required to match federal funding and ultimately take over payment entirely. “Getting more low-income people on Medicaid is certainly good from a humanitarian perspective,” Deschamp
said. “However, the question centers around whether or not Mississippi can afford the extra cost as the responsibility for funding of the program begins to shift to the state.” Eventually Mississippi would have to pay a considerable amount to continue Medicaid expansion. Unless these federal funds were redistributed, the state would have to significantly cut funding to programs such as education or social services, increase taxes or require a mandatory contribution by health care facilities in order to continue funding, according to Deschamp. He said the decision needs to be made whether Medicaid expansion is worth the cuts to other programs and the likely tax increases it would require. Deschamp said hospitals that serve large numbers of low-income patients have the potential to benefit significantly from the expansion, but hospitals located in more affluent areas are likely to be only slightly affected. “We have to determine whether we want to take the federal money … and provide health care to our citizens or not.” Moak said. “I think that once legislators start seeing that this is going to be a huge financial loss to the state

the public. In addition to updating the balcony, a deck built in 1986 will be replaced as well. The total cost for this will be $30,000. “We’re all having a bit of fun with this,” Howorth said. “And enjoying the opportunity to connect with the people who support Square Books.” According to Howorth, since the sale was announced on the store’s Facebook page and website two weeks ago, 340 pieces have been sold, raising a total of $1,750. These funds will go toward the renovation costs as well
as bonuses for the employees. Charles Berry, an employee at the store, said the success of the sale is due to the historical importance of the pieces. “Lots of authors have sat up there (on the balcony),” Berry said. Howorth gave credit for the idea to Square Books employee Travis Smith, a graduate student in The University of Mississippi’s English department, and to a carpenter who asked to have a plank for his stepsister after she asked to have a piece of the building’s history. “The balcony has been such a public space, and so many former students and visitors have good memories of being there,” Howorth said.

of Mississippi if we don’t take these funds, they’re going to think about it again.” State Rep. Brad Mayo, ROxford, is opposed to the expansion. Mayo said the state will lose a disproportionate amount of money if legislators decide to expand the Medicaid program due to the eventual expectation of full funding coverage by the state. “I don’t think anyone believes that the (federal government will) be able to afford this program,” Mayo said. “I really think we’ll end up being on the hook for what would be equivalent to our matching funds of every other Medicaid dollar.” The consequences of the decision could be far-reaching, according to senior pharmacy major Jess Xie. “Our state is not in that good of an economic situation right now, and the increase in costs translates into a big burden on us,” Xie said. “But at the same time, it might end up saving us money six to 10 years down the road.” Moak said he would like to see a decision made by the end of the current legislative session in April, but it is more likely that legislators will come to a decision this summer.

DIY: How to buy tires and know which ones you need BY MATTHEW BISHOP mtbishop2@gmail.com
SUSAN HOLT | The Daily Mississippian
It may not seem like it, but buying tires is one of the most important and crucial aspects of vehicle maintenance. The tires affect all aspects of performance from handling, braking, acceleration, comfort and fuel economy. They are also one of the most expensive forms of maintenance, so it’s important to do research before buying.
1
Determine if you need new tires
The easiest way to tell is to use a quarter. Put the quarter in the tread of the tire with Washington’s head up, and if the tread doesn’t reach the base of Washington’s neck, you need new rubber. Also, cracks from dry rot and bulging are signs that you need new tires, regardless of the tread depth. However, if the tire is flat and has enough tread and no signs of bulging, cracking or tearing, you do not necessarily need to change it. It could be flat because A) there is a crack in the wheel (which will need to be replaced or repaired), B) there is a hole in a tire from a sharp object, like a nail, that can be plugged with a $10 kit from Walmart (or patched professionally if you prefer) or C) you forgot to put air in it.
2
Determine what tire you need
The easiest way to determine what tires you need is to find the code on your current tire’s sidewall. It will look something like this: P275/60R20 114S. Each part gives information about the tire in relation to your car. The “P” stands for passenger vehicle, “275” is the tire’s width in millimeters, 60 means the sidewall’s height is 60 percent of the tire’s width. “R” stands for radial tire and “Z” indicates that the tire is rated for speeds above 149 miles per hour. “20” is the diameter of the wheel in inches, “114” is the load index and “S” is the maximum speed the tire can safely travel. “M+S” stands for “mud and snow” and means that the tire can manage these types of surfaces. You can always just get identical tires to what you already have, too.
TODAY

Determine where to buy your tires
Because tires are expensive purchases,it is advised to shop around before you buy. You pretty much have three choices: online, tire store or dealership. The cheapest places are online retailers like Tire Rack or Discount Tire. That’s also sometimes the only place to find uncommon tires. However, they only ship you tires, so you’re going to have to pay someone to mount and balance them. Tire stores are more expensive, but they have the added benefit of mounting and balancing the tire for you. The best thing is to get your tire size and call around to find the best price. Dealerships are usually the most expensive, but they are the place to go if you want original tires. However, the online stores may have them, as well.
4
Take care of your new tires
Make sure you take care of your tires so that they will last the 40,000-50,000 miles they are supposed to. Always keep them at the recommended tire pressure (this also helps with fuel economy) and check to make sure there are no pointy objects in them every once in a while.

Houston Baptist last week, sweeping Georgia this past weekend and picking up another midweek win over Dallas Baptist earlier this week. The Rebels and Aggies have a history, but not enough for Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco to say his team is familiar with them. The teams have met five times overall, with Texas A&M leading the series 3-2. Most recently, the Rebels won a matchup, 6-3, in a 2012 NCAA regional hosted by the Aggies. “I wouldn’t really call it familiarity,” Bianco said. “Just because we finished there (last year). A lot of those guys aren’t there. It was only one game. I know Coach (Rob) Childress does a great job. They won a world series a couple of years ago, but we don’t know much about their program.” The Rebels will send junior right-hander Bobby Wahl to the mound to open the series Friday night. Wahl is 5-0 on the year and is coming off a solid start in his last outing against Arkansas, going seven innings and only allowing one run, while striking out five. The Aggies will counter with senior right-hander Kyle Martin. Martin holds a 2-2 record on the year and is
second on the team with 30.2 innings pitched so far. Junior right-hander Mike Mayers will get the nod Saturday against the Aggies in his second career outing against them. In the regional last season, Mayers earned the win after going 6.1 innings and striking out nine. Mayers is currently 2-1 on the year. Texas A&M will send sophomore right-hander Daniel Mengdon to the mound to face the Rebels on Saturday. He holds a 3-1 record so far this season and leads the team with 34.2 innings pitched. Ole Miss will turn to sophomore right-hander Sam Smith Sunday to wrap up the series. Smith is 2-0 on the year and has stepped up to fill the gap left when sophomore right-hander Chris Ellis went down with an injury early in the season. The start will be Smith’s sixth of the season. Ellis, who was originally Ole Miss’ Sunday starter heading into the season, said he is close to being ready to make an appearance on the mound. “It’s coming along great,” Ellis said of his rehab. “I threw a bullpen Sunday and threw one (Tuesday), and I feel really good now. No soreness at all, just ready to get out there on the game mound.” Ellis said there is a possi-
bility he could see action this weekend in relief, but ultimately, the decision will be made by Bianco. “It looks like I’ll throw an inning or two in relief hopefully,” Ellis said. “(Bianco) didn’t really specify a day, but probably Sunday; that’s my guess.” At the plate, the Rebels will be led by junior catcher Stuart Turner, who is off to a hot start. He leads the team and the conference in batting average at .474 and also leads the team in hits (36), doubles (9) and RBIs (30). The Rebels will also look to sophomore center fielder Auston Bousfield to produce hits. He is currently second on the team with 30. The Aggies are led by senior infielder Mikey Reynolds, who holds a .448 batting average, which leads the team and ranks him second in the conference only behind Turner. He has 39 hits on the year with five doubles and 11 RBIs. Sophomore catcher/infielder Cole Lankford will lead Texas A&M in power with three home runs on the year and a team-high 15 RBIs. First-pitch times are set for 6:30 p.m. (Fri.), 7:30 p.m. (Sat.) and 1:30 p.m. (Sun.)
