End of the road After an improbable run to the NCAA Tournament, Ole Miss’ journey came to an end Sunday night after falling to La Salle, 76-74. BY TYLER BISCHOFF tfbischo@go.olemiss.edu
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Ole Miss saw its NCAA Tournament run come to an end at the hands of La Salle, as the No. 13 seed kept Ole Miss from advancing to the Sweet 16 Sunday night, 76-74. “It just hurts,” Marshall Henderson said, fighting back tears. “I wanted it so bad for them, everyone.” Ole Miss had the ball in a tie game with 44 seconds left. Henderson got the ball, drove baseline and misfired on a jumper. He grabbed his own offensive rebound but couldn’t get a second shot off before the shot clock expired. “They put the ball in my hands to make a play,” he said. “It didn’t happen.” On his second shot with one second left on the shot clock, it looked as though Henderson was fouled on the arm, but no call was made, and the shot clock expired. “He fouled me. The ref told me he fouled me,” Henderson said. “He told me he’s not going to call a foul with one second left on the shot clock. I told him it was B.S. I don’t care if there is point second left on it, you got to call that.” After the no-call, La Salle put the ball in Tyrone Gar-
land’s hands, and he delivered, making the game-winning layup with 2.5 seconds remaining. Garland finished the game with 17 points. “I’ve always said winning teams make winning plays,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “To La Salle’s credit, they made winning plays down the stretch, and therefore, they move forward.” But it was Ramon Galloway who torched the Rebels and sent them home. Galloway had 24 points on 8-of-13 shooting, including 6-of-10 from beyond the arc. He had 19 of his points in the first half. “He’s probably an NBA player,” Henderson said of Galloway. “He extended us, knocked down shots. That’s what Sweet 16 teams do. They make plays.” Henderson, who became the NCAA Division 1 single-season record holder of three pointers attempted with 394, led the Rebels with 21 points, but it took him 21 shots to reach that mark. He made all four of the Ole Miss 3-pointers, but was 4-of-15 from deep. There has been some speculation to whether Henderson would return for his senior season or try to go play professionally somewhere. After the game, when asked if he would return, he said, “As far as I know.” Ole Miss got key contributions from several guys, including sophomore point guard Jarvis Summers, who had 12 points and six assists, senior guard Nick Williams, who had 10 points, senior forward Reginald Buckner, who added seven points, six rebounds and See NCAA, PAGE 5

investment opportunities,” Hendrickson said. The falling rates mean different things for different groups of investors. People who save may be negatively affected by lower interest rates because they get lower returns on their statements, Hendrickson said. Borrowers, however, may find the lowered interest rates beneficial. Henderson also said these individuals who borrow money may find themselves locked into favorably lower
Mississippi savings rates have dropped an average of 45 percent from 2011 to 2013. While there are multiple potential causes, assistant professor of economics Josh Hendrickson does not deny the personal impact of declining savings in the state, adding that the basic problem was the currently weak economy. “If the economy improves, you would expect interest rates to go back up and provide more See SAVINGS, PAGE 3

On Sunday, March 17, an Ohio judge handed down a sentence in the case of the two Steubenville high school students accused of raping one of their classmates. The boys, Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond, were sentenced to oneand two-year sentences in a juvenile detention center. After the sentence was announced, it became disturbingly apparent that the way we deal with rape and sexual assault in the country is horribly flawed and doesn’t do justice to anyone. One of the worst offenders is the media. Immediately after the conviction was handed down, CNN began airing sympathetic commentary for the rapists. The coverage be-

thing that is responsible for her rape is her rapist. The judge also mishandled this case. When he was announcing the sentence, he admonished the boys for using social media to broadcast their crimes. Instead of telling the boys that what they had done was reprehensible, he marveled that they had thought to record it. The judge was far more concerned that the boys had recorded their wrongdoing than that they had committed a heinous crime. When it comes to rape, the justice system also frequently gets it wrong. The vast majority of rapes go unreported, and for those that do get reported, only 3 percent of rapists are actually convicted. The problem is that the justice system doesn’t favor the victims of rape and sexual assaults. These cases can be difficult to prove, there is huge backlog for processing evidence and the life of the victim often gets dragged through the mud in the process. The media
reaction and the treatment of the victim and the public sympathy for Mays and Richmond are unlikely to do anything to positively impact reporting statistics. The 3 percent of rapists who are actually convicted, like Mays and Richmond, are sentenced to jail time. While in jail, they’re subjected to a prison culture of extreme sexual violence. Instead of any kind of rehabilitative therapy to correct the behaviors that contributed to their initial crimes, most sexual offenders emerge from prison an even greater threat than when they went in. The Steubenville rape case exemplifies that the way we deal with rape is problematic, and it ensures that for anyone involved in a rape, justice is never really achieved.
two, I just want to cut loose in dance, if that’s even a function of truth with my abysmally stiff movements. But Terpsichore loves dancing so much that she’s always patient with me. I have a good time with her even if the sheets, of paper, look like I’m trying to draw waves with curved words instead of calm, settled paragraphs. Only after hearing a song so much do I come to learn the words and chords. Euterpe visits me when I desire to know such songs. Though it’s difficult toning down her volume as we work the sheets, of paper, she always brings insight. By far my favorite muse is Erato, but don’t tell the other eight about that, please. It’s just that Erato deals in the business of love poetry, and my room feels empty when she’s not present. When she speaks, every syllable feels like a special kiss on my ears. My sensory perception then supercharges, and the
prose we extract on the sheets, of paper, turns bodies of paragraphs and words into living compositions. The joint movements in each sentence traverse around as a hand acts like a gramophone needle, revealing those vintage tunes in the night. When I wake up the next morning, I’m alone in my room. No matter the prose written the night before, the respective muse disappears sometime while I sleep. Though sometimes I have a calling card left on my desk: a history book opened, or YouTube videos, or tragic blog accountants or a story. Like every woman I’ve ever known, I spend the day building the opportunity for one of those muses to visit me again in the night. We all need inspiration, or else our fingers make dull sounds.

My writing harem BY Daniel Purdy dbpurdy@go.olemiss.edu
Everyone needs muses in their lives. When these vixens or reynards come around, inspiration comes from their symbolic representations. I usually call on visits from the nine muses; it’s been said that I just love women too much. When I want to be profound, I take the muse Calliope into my bed (the blank sheets of paper), and we get to making an epic night in words. The next day, melancholy might happen on my mood, and it’s Melpomene visiting my sheets, of paper. She brightens me by making the clouds overhead darker, and don’t ask how sadness plus tragedy equals happiness. But I’m usually perky the next day — so happy, in fact, that I need Thalia to visit me. She strolls in wearing clown makeup, and through the giggles and laughter, I don’t know how we get anything done T H E D A I LY

moaned the ruined futures of the “promising” high school football players. Mays and Richmond will have to serve their sentences and then register for sexual offender status for the rest of their lives. It is true that their lives will be forever changed, but so is the life of their victim. Their victim isn’t culpable: They are. Mays and Richmond committed a crime, and they are currently paying the price for that crime. Any tragedy in this situation is the direct result of their own actions. The way we talk about the victim is also problematic. Instead of sympathy for what has happened to her, we blame her in part for her own rape. Much has been made of the fact that the victim was heavily intoxicated at the time of her assault. Until we acknowledge that the victim plays no role in her rape, the way we deal with sexual assault will never change. A victim’s level of intoxication or her clothing does not make her responsible for her rape. The only

on the sheets, of paper. Since I’ve been from comedy to tragedy in the course of two days, I need a soothing hymn for some motherly peace. Polyhymnia always wears a veil when she comes onto the sheets, of paper. It may be sickening to some that she’s so parental, but variety is the spice of life. I can almost guarantee that Clio and Urania visit on backto-back nights. The former brings history topics as foreplay before we get down on the sheets, of paper. The latter chooses stargazing and astronomy for her conversation. I tried mixing the two in a three-way, but I didn’t anticipate Clio and Urania arguing the whole night. Clio believes that evaluating what humans have done in the past matters more than outward progress, and Urania believes just the opposite. It’s a real perspective fight.

rates in the future. “There are two basic competing reasons why savings rates are falling, one is monetary policies,” Hendrickson said. “The federal reserves control short term interest rates, and their current monetary policies are pulling short term rates down.” Integrated marketing and communications junior Blair Jackson said she believes her family was positively affected by the drop in savings rates. Jackson’s family is from Hattiesburg and recently bought a house. “If interest rates were where they was two years ago, then they probably wouldn’t be able to buy it,” Jackson said. Even though the decline of the savings rates takes a toll on
residents as a whole, the decline has a more drastic effect on particular demographics. “The low interest rate would affect retired or older people who still look at CDs as a viable investment method because they don’t want to put their money in the stock market or the debt market, they would rather save it for the bank,” said John Mulkey, assistant vice president at the Bank of Commerce in Oxford. Like Hendrickson, Mulkey said he believes the economy plays a part in the decrease in rates. “The economy has some role in it, but you have to look at the policies of the federal reserves because money from the reserves is at a very low cost,” Mulkey said. “As long as the federal reserves are keeping everything as low as they have, then we are going to see savings rates continuing to stay low.”

are here, marketing to them the other opportunities to come back to Oxford – other events or activities that they might be interested in,” said Will Hunt, a representative of the Downtown Council. Mary-Kathryn Herrington, director of tourism for the Oxford Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the tourism office will wrap up a year-long research project that has provided a wealth of information which will be used to influence future decisions. Although promoting tourism is a component of the alliance’s purpose, it is not the sole purpose. “Obviously each group that is involved brings their own agenda and issues to the table, and I think as this group continues to meet and work together, we’ll have to establish more defined goals for the group,” Herrington said. Each group involved in the alliance has specific goals. Ole Miss Athletics is striving to generate increased attendance at events, the Downtown Council’s mission is to promote more people visiting downtown businesses and the Chamber of Commerce exists to support all

Obviously travelers to our community can make an impact on all those areas, whether it’s attending a sporting event, eating in a downtown restaurant (or) spending the night in a hotel,” Herrington said. Economics junior Grant Simms said he thinks the alliance will benefit Oxford. “I think it’s a good idea that
the alliance is meeting to discuss improving the Oxford experience,” Simms said. “I know events like Double Decker and home football games generate lots of revenue to the town, but Oxford is such a unique and historic place that I’m sure there are areas where it can improve its revenues.” Herrington said the alliance does not have any specific action plans at this point. The group has met twice and is still in the process of opening the conversation.

two blocks, and senior forward Murphy Holloway, who ended his career, scoring 14 points and 13 rebounds. The Rebels came up short, however, at the free throw line, where they finished 10-of-21 from the stripe, while La Salle went 13-of-18. Despite the loss, the season as a whole has been one of the best in Ole Miss basketball history.
Marija Milutinovic and sophomores Erin Stephens and Iris Verboven both got wins in doubles to take an early lead over the Tigers. LSU won the first two singles matches to take a lead, but sophomore Julia Jones got the best of Mary Jeremiah at No. 2 singles in two tightly contested sets 7-6(4), 6-4 and knotted the match up at 2-2. Milutinovic was dominant at No. 5 singles to give the Rebels the lead before Stephens clinched the win for Ole Miss, beating Ariel Morton 6-3, 6-4 at No. 4 singles. “My adrenaline was really pumping towards the end,
but I felt like my teammates really helped me through it,” Stephens said. SUNDAY: No. 36 OLE MISS 4, No. 51 ARKANSAS 2 The No. 36 Ole Miss (59, 3-5 SEC) women’s tennis team saw its three-game Southeastern Conference winning streak snapped with a loss to Western Division rival No. 51 Arkansas (10-10, 3-5 SEC) on Sunday afternoon at the Gillom Sports Center. The Rebels won the doubles point, taking two of the three doubles matches from the Razorbacks.
No. 66 nationally ranked El Kamash made quick work putting Ole Miss up 2-0, but the Razorbacks would answer with two straight singles wins. Stephens gave the Rebels the go-ahead point with a 6-3, 2-6, 6-2 win at No. 4 singles, but the Razorbacks tied the match again with Brittany Huxley’s 7-5, 1-6, 6-3 win over freshman Marija Milutinovic at No. 5 singles. Ana Hernandez clinched the win for Arkansas with a 6-2, 7-6(2) victory over Vief Vlaar at No. 6 singles. Ole Miss will host a doubleheader against Jackson State on Wednesday at noon.
After Ole Miss had what seemed to be a season-ending loss at Mississippi State with a week left in the regular season, the Rebels went on an incredible postseason run. They defeated Alabama and LSU to close out the regular season before winning three games in three days to win the SEC Championship and came within two points of moving on to the Sweet 16, which would have matched the farthest any Ole Miss team has gone. “I’m kind of caught up in the moment right now,” Hender-
son said. “But I know when I sit back and think about, it’ll be pretty happy. A pretty successful year. But we should have won that game. We had it. Time
to get back to work.” For continuing coverage of Ole Miss men’s basketball, follow @ Tyler_RSR and @thedm_sports on Twitter.

He finished with 98 blocks this year and fifth in the SEC in career blocks. “Reggie Buckner is able to block shots and alter shots,” Holloway said. “I think it scares other teams going to the rim sometimes after he blocks a few.” Buckner’s shot blocking has allowed Ole Miss to change their defensive strategy and allowed their postseason run to happen. Ole Miss had been dominated by forwards who could stretch the floor and knock down threes. Kyle Wiltjer of Kentucky had 26 points and knocked down five threes. Erik Murphy of Florida
dropped 19 on Ole Miss, also knocking down five threes. Then, Colin Borchert of Mississippi State lit up the Rebels by scoring 21 and hitting three threes. All of those games resulted in a loss for the Rebels. Ole Miss had a problem, and the adjustment in postseason play was to switch every ball screen. This presents a problem as small guards like 6-foot-2 Henderson or 5-foot10 Derrick Millinghaus get matched up with forwards. That’s where Buckner was critical. He has used his biggest strength, coming from the weak side to swat shots, to eliminate the advantage opponents should have due to the mismatches. Buckner swatted three Florida shots in the SEC Tournament final. Holloway chipped in with two blocks of his own against the Gators. Buckner continued that success by sending five Wisconsin shots away. More attention has been paid to the Twitter account of Marshall Henderson than to the two seniors, but they were responsible for the Rebels’ run into March.

Texas A&M (15-8, 3-1 SEC) answered with two runs of their own in the top half of the sixth before the Rebels added one in the bottom half of the inning. Ole Miss also scored a run in the eighth on a sac fly from Turner. SUNDAY GAME ONE: TEXAS A&M 2, No. 6 OLE MISS 1 After Saturday’s game was rained out, Texas A&M evened the series in the first of two seven-inning contests Sunday, defeating Ole Miss, 2-1, led by an impressive performance by sophomore right-hander Daniel Mengden. Mengden (4-1) kept the Ole Miss (21-3, 3-2 SEC) hitters frustrated all day on his way to a 5.2 inning game that saw him give up just one run on six hits with a walk and two strikeouts. Junior right-hander Jason Jester picked up his seventh save of the year with a perfect 1.1 innings of work. 5 BEDROOM HOUSe 1/2 MILE FROM CAMPUS CONTACT Will Guest at Guest Realty (662)832-3987 2BR/2BA $850/MONTH 662-816-2700

“In the first game, I didn’t think we played poorly. We played OK. We just didn’t do enough to win the game,” Bianco said. “We didn’t have a lot of opportunities to score, but the couple that we did, we didn’t get the clutch it.” The Aggies (16-8, 4-1 SEC) got on the board in the first inning, as Ole Miss’ junior righthander Mike Mayers (2-2) had command issues walking two, hitting a batter and giving up an RBI single to sophomore catcher Mitchell Nau. Nau, who finished 2-for-3, got another RBI in the third on a solo home run to left field. Junior catcher Stuart Turner got the Rebels on the board in the fourth with a solo shot of his own. It was his third home run of the season. SUNDAY GAME TWO: TEXAS A&M 10, No. 6 OLE MISS 5 After Ole Miss scored five runs to open up the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader, Texas A&M scored 10 unanswered runs on 13 hits to claim the series for the Aggies (17-8, 5-1 SEC) with a 10-5 win over the Rebels (21-4, 3-3 SEC). “In game two, very disappointing,” Bianco said. “AnyPregnancy Test Center Pregnancy Testing...

time you can score five in the first, especially in a short game at home, you gotta be able to close it out, and we weren’t. It was their day. They played terrific. We held them for two games offensively, but in game three, they were too good.” Ole Miss had six guys reach base in the first inning and jumped out to a 5-0 lead. However, Texas A&M brought in freshman left-hander Matt Kent to pitch to start the second inning, and Kent (2-1) shut the Rebels down from there, giving up just three hits and a walk with three strikeouts in five innings. The Texas A&M offense got going in the second inning with two runs before exploding for three in the fifth to tie the game. The Aggies kept it going in the sixth, scoring four more runs off sophomore right-hander Chris Ellis, who made his first appearance since the opening weekend of the season. Ellis (1-1), who has been sidelined with an abdominal muscle issue, gave up four runs on three hits with two walks and a strikeout. Ole Miss returns to action Wednesday when they host Arkansas State at 6:30 p.m.

FRIDAY: No. 6 OLE MISS 8, TEXAS A&M 2 No. 6 Ole Miss took game one of the three-game set against Texas A&M Friday, 8-2, behind 11 hits and a dominating performance by junior right-hander Bobby Wahl. “The story of the game was certainly Bobby,” head coach Mike Bianco said. “I thought this was his best outing of the year. He just said to me, ‘I felt
like I really pitched tonight,’ and he hit the nail right on the head.” Wahl (6-0) continued his impressive season, giving up two runs (one earned) on seven hits, while striking out nine Texas A&M batters in eight innings. “I think one of the biggest things is just coming in and pitching, throwing strikes and getting ahead early,” Wahl said. “Being able to locate my breaking ball was a big thing for me and being able to get ahead with that and throwing strikes was
huge.” Early on, it looked like a typical Friday night pitchers’ duel between Wahl and senior righthander Kyle Martin for Texas A&M, but the Rebels got to Martin the second time through the order to score two runs in the fourth and four in the fifth. Ole Miss (21-2, 3-1 SEC) was led at the plate by sophomore center fielder Auston Bousfield, junior shortstop Austin Anderson, junior catcher Stuart Turner See BASEBALL, PAGE 7
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Marshall. Marshall. Marshall. All anyone wanted to talk about was the quick-triggered shooting guard, but it takes more than one player to win an SEC Championship and play in the NCAA Tournament. Due to a Gator Chomp and witty press conference answers, the backbone of this Rebel basketball team went unnoticed. Senior forwards Murphy Holloway and Reginald Buckner were tremendous as the back-up dancers to the Marshall Henderson Variety Show. “He’s a guy that plays with toughness,” head coach Andy Kennedy said of Holloway. “He’s our swag.
People think Marshall’s our swag, it’s really Murph.” Holloway and Buckner gave Ole Miss a ferocious but forgotten frontcourt. This postseason, Buckner averaged 9.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.5 blocks, while Holloway put up 12.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.9 steals. They accounted for 31 percent of the Rebels’ postseason points and 46 percent of the rebounds. This year Ole Miss went 11-4 when Holloway grabbed 10 more rebounds and 9-1 when Buckner grabbed double digit boards. Holloway and Buckner are two of the most decorated Rebels in history. But somehow, they went unnoticed. Holloway is the all-time leading rebounder. He is the only Rebel to score 1,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds. He is also second all-time in steals at Ole Miss, trailing first by 17. Buckner became the See BASKETBALL, PAGE 7
