Northwestern has raised nearly $2.77 billion as part of the “We Will” campaign, putting it nearly 18 months ahead of schedule, University President Morton Schapiro told The Daily. The “We Will” campaign, a $3.75 billion fundraising initiative, was launched in March 2014 to support initiatives across the University in four categories — discovery and creativity, campus and

community, student experience and global connections. Although fundraising for the overall goal is well ahead of schedule — the campaign wasn’t expected to hit the $2.8 billion mark until summer 2018 — not all of the four categories are being filled at the same rate, Schapiro said. “Some things we’ve raised completely and some we haven’t raised that much, so we’re in the process of looking where to go,” he said. Because of the overall success, though, Schapiro said he is looking to possibly increase the campaign’s fundraising goal,

noting that he would particularly like to focus on expanding undergraduate student aid. Schapiro emphasized that although NU is need-blind in its admissions for U.S. students, it is not “experience blind.” The cost of some experiences, including Medill’s Journalism Residency and the practicum for students in the School of Education and Social Policy, still restricts opportunities for low-income students, he said. “There are just so many aspects to financial aid that we’d want to support more generously,” Schapiro said. “There

are a lot of things that are on the table that are very expensive, things that we should do, and will do, to make sure that everybody who comes here can take better advantage of everything we have to offer.” Amanda Walsh, president of lowincome student advocacy group NU Quest Scholars Network, also said she would like to see more money from the “We Will” campaign go toward student aid. “It’s very important that one of the pillars of the ‘We Will’ campaign is making sure that we have a diverse student body, making sure that we have an inclusive

and accessible student body,” the Communication senior said. A portion of the money already raised has been directed toward need-based aid for international students, who, unlike domestic students, are not admitted needblind. Roberta Buffett Elliott’s (Weinberg ’54) January 2015 donation of more than $100 million — the first of four gifts that surpassed $100 million last year — helped support scholarships for international students.

City animal shelter to hold gala Faculty shadow
students for a day
By TORI LATHAM
daily senior staffer @latham_tori
At a gala this weekend, the Evanston Animal Shelter hopes to not just raise money, but celebrate how far it has come in the past few months, members of the organization that runs the shelter said. The Tails in Bloom Gala will be held Saturday at the Noyes Cultural Arts Center, 927 Noyes St. The gala was the idea of Shannon Daggett, director of fundraising and community engagement for the Evanston Animal Shelter Association, who said more than 100 people are expected to attend the event, which includes a silent and live auction, local musicians and speakers. She said one purpose of the event is to show residents “who we are and what we do.” “Since June, we’ve not only made it a goal to increase adoptions but to be a resource to the community,” Daggett said. EASA took over the animal shelter last year after City Council decided to cut ties with Community Animal Rescue Effort, the previous organization that ran the shelter. Originally funded by the city, the shelter transitioned to a nonprofit model in October, leaving EASA to take control of all expenses. Alisa Kaplan, co-president of EASA along with Vicky Pasenko, said early

fundraising efforts have gone well, but coming up with funds is challenging. The nonprofit has looked to partner with local businesses and Northwestern students to raise money, and more funds are likely to come from the gala. “What we do is very expensive, especially with all the medical costs we need to cover,” Kaplan said. “But, it’s important to the community that we provide that level

When Dean of Students Todd Adams shadowed Weinberg freshman CJ Patel last week, he realized by sitting in Psychology 228 that he didn’t know that much about cognitive psychology. Adams and Patel were one of eight administrator-student pairs who participated in the second year of the Day in the Life program held by Associated Student Government’s Student Life Committee. The goal was to allow administrators a look into the everyday life of an undergraduate, said student life vice president Wendy Roldan, a McCormick junior. By connecting students with administrators, the program allowed students to share their experiences and challenges they face to see how the pair could solve them, Adams said.
“I learned just how fast-paced a busy student schedule can be,” Adams said. “It reaffirmed for me the type of schedule and the amount of work — academic and otherwise — that students are doing everyday.” In its pilot year, the program was only available to ASG members. This year, the program was available for all students interested in participating. “A really cool benefit of this program is that it can give a voice to students who might not be as vocal in the university or within student government,” said Miles Kurtz, a McCormick junior. Kurtz was shadowed by Joseph Holtgreive, McCormick assistant dean for student career development, after a friend in ASG recommended him for the program. However, Kurtz said, selection next year should include a wider variety of students who may not have connections to people in ASG. Patel, a member of ASG’s Student Life Committee, said the program serves to bridge the gap between administrators who make policies and the students they affect. “We see that there’s been a disconnect » See DAY IN THE LIFE, page 6

Around Town Film festival focuses on environment
City chapter seeks to expand to larger venue next year By RENZO DOWNEY
the daily northwestern @renzodowney
With the first night sold out and the second on its way, the 2016 Wild and Scenic Film Festival will showcase two nights of films on environmental sustainability at the Evanston Ecology Center. The Evanston Environmental Association, which hosts the Evanston chapter of the festival, will show two different film lineups Feb. 5 and Feb. 19. Due to the festival’s success over the past few years — spurred by social media advertisements — the EEA plans to expand the festival to a bigger venue in 2017, EEA president Dick Peach said. “Right now our seating is limited to 110 people,” he said. “I could’ve sold probably twice that number of seats this year the way it looks.” The board has considered upgrading but wanted to see if popularity continued to rise before it made a decision, Peach said. “Next year, we may have to look into doing it someplace like the auditorium at Rotary International or some other venue,” Peach
Police Blotter Paintings reported stolen from Evanston apartment
Two paintings were reported stolen from an apartment complex in the 2200 block of Central Street on Wednesday afternoon, police said. A 51-year-old male who was doing floor maintenance on the apartment building told police he had propped the common area door open while he was working, Evanston Police Department spokesman Perry Polinski said. The worker briefly left the area, and when he returned he noticed the

community. EEA board member Jim Chilsen said this year’s films range from adventurous and humorous to serious and dramatic, each aiming to spark action. “What the film fest tries to do is inspire people and encourage them to bring about positive change in their communities,” Chilsen said. “You can’t really work for a better world until you’re inspired by it.” Kumar Jensen, the acting sustainability manager at the city’s Office of Sustainability, which helps city departments and organizations coordinate and collaborate on environmental projects, said he hopes people will be inspired to take part in a “larger campaign” after seeing how national and global issues matter to the community. “The broad range of the types of films that are shown at the film festival help people understand, not just in the Evanston context but in other places around the country, around the world, how the different issues are related to each other,” Jensen said. “We are then hopeful that they will … understand how some of those also have local implications.”
paintings — one depicting the Chicago skyline and the other the Philadelphia skyline — had gone missing, Polinski said. The worker called police around 3:30 p.m. to report the missing paintings, and said he and the resident checked video camera footage and saw two males aged roughly 18 to 25 years old enter and exit the area, Polinski said. The two paintings were valued at $500 total, Polinski added.
A Chicago man was arrested for attempting to shoplift items from Home Depot, 2201 Oakton St., on Monday at approximately 1:30 p.m., Polinski said. An employee told police he observed the subject place a torque tool and batteries — valued at approximately $300 — into his coat pocket, Polinski said. The suspect walked to the front of the store and past the checkout point before security stopped him, Polinski said.

On Campus Bazelon talks importance of sources in journalism Be careful whose voice you trust when it comes to news, New York Times Magazine writer Emily Bazelon told a crowd of about 30 students and professors on Thursday. The journalist, author and legal expert talked about the difference between advocates and journalists when it comes to understanding important social issues. Bazelon highlighted her expertise as a journalist throughout the talk as she addressed the importance of sources when it comes to storytelling. “In today’s world, there is an endless cornucopia of media outlets,“ Bazelon said. “Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish which voices or stories you should listen to.” In addition to being a staff writer for NYT Magazine, Bazelon is also a fellow of creative writing and law at Yale Law School, co-host of Slate’s Political Gabfest podcast and author of national bestseller “Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy.” The event was hosted by Northwestern’s Contemporary Thought Speaker Series, a student
committee that invites scholars to campus to speak about their interests and accomplishments. This is the second talk in as many weeks that CTSS has held an event, as Pulitzer Prizewinning author Junot Diaz spoke at Northwestern last Thursday. CTSS co-chair Sami Rose said Bazelon was a perfect fit for the type of speaker they were looking for. “We aim to bring intellectuals that can speak about some of the important issues going on in the world as well as at Northwestern,” the Communication junior said. “Emily is a great speaker because of her willingness to interact with students and engage in some important dialogue about media and understanding who to listen to.” Bazelon’s speech focused primarily on the difference between journalists and advocates. She used the national issue of Black Lives Matter to highlight some of the more important faces of media and advocacy, such as Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson and New York Times columnist Charles Blow. Bazelon made a clear distinction between the two categories. “As a journalist, my conclusions need to come out of facts,” she said. “For advocates, this isn’t always true. This is why it’s important to be aware of where someone is situated or reporting
from when dealing with trusting someone’s voice or story. ” However, Bazelon did not dismiss the credibility of advocates. “Advocates can fill the gap that media can leave open, especially in terms of on-the-ground perspective,” she said. “It’s better to have more people talking, anyway — it helps the marketplace of ideas.” A short Q&A session was held at the end of the event, in which Bazelon answered questions about her experience with Yale’s campus issues concerning race and free speech. She described the coverage of the issue as “just not really getting it.” “The media was turning it into a battle between free speech and those for censorship,” she said. “Assumptions were being made that did not match the reality.” Weinberg freshman Drew Johnson said Bazelon’s speech made him consider the difference between journalists and advocates in a way he had not previously. “There’s a question of bias that is a little clearer now, and it makes me think about which outlet or person is more trustworthy when it comes to relaying a story,” he said.
to commit a sex offense or engage in unlawful sexual conduct. Godby appeared in a Rolling Meadows, Illinois courtroom Wednesday morning, where his bond on the felony charges was set at $100,000, officials said. Godby was arrested Monday after an investigation revealed he used his relationship with family friends to take inappropriate pictures of and send sexual messages to a minor, according to a news release from the State Attorney’s Office. Godby, who works in the investigations unit of the police force, also has a home photography business and occasionally takes team photos for a northwest suburban high school, according to the news release.
The Mount Prospect, Illinois resident had taken photographs of the minor and her family on several occasions. He used that relationship to arrange a shoot with the then 13-year-old girl in which he took her to a remote location in Des Plaines, Illinois, and had her pose in provocative positions while he took “zoomed-in photos of a sexual nature” without her knowledge, according to the release. After the photo shoot, Godby began communicating with the minor using Facebook and other social media platforms, according to the news release. In fall 2015, she went to his house for a photo shoot, but cut the session short after his directions became sexually suggestive, according to the release.
After the girl told her classmates Godby had sent her sexually suggestive pictures of women and a photograph of a penis, they informed a teacher, who reported it to authorities, according to the release. Mount Prospect police searched Godby’s home, his vehicles and his office at University Police on Monday, and seized several computers, hard drives, data storage and professional cameras, according to the department’s website. Godby was placed on administrative leave and banned from entering University campuses, University spokesman Al Cubbage said Wednesday in a statement to The Daily.

Minority students belong on Northwestern’s campus CHERON Z. MIMS
GUEST COLUMNIST
the
Spectrum
This essay is part of The Spectrum, a weekly forum in our Opinion section for marginalized voices to share their perspectives. To submit a piece for The Spectrum or discuss story ideas, please email spectrum@dailynorthwestern.com. I remember the first time I felt like I didn’t belong at Northwestern. It was my freshman year during Wildcat Welcome. I remember going to the Diversity Essential NU, standing up for descriptions that I believed were salient to my identity, seeing fellow classmates of 2017 standing up with me and sitting down, watching me. That wasn’t the hard part. The hard part was going to the break out session afterward. I was convinced that despite our differences, our student body — freshmen, at least — could come together and support one another. However, this wasn’t the case. I remember being in a circle with my PA group and sharing the word we wrote down on the “Respect My ___” cards. I am a black American female who is a first
generation college student and who comes from a predominately black neighborhood. My card: Respect My Background. As we shared in the circle, a statement stopped us from our moment of solidarity. One of the members of my group began with, “You know what makes me upset? Affirmative Action. Because of it, deserving white men are unable to attend the best universities they would have normally been admitted to. Undeserving minorities,” — he looked at me and the two other black people in my group — “are taking up space at universities like this one.” I looked at him in shock. It felt like his words punched me in the face. He didn’t know my background, he didn’t know I graduated No. 4 in my high school, that I got straight A’s from the second half of my sophomore to my senior year or that I had to make it to college on my own. He didn’t know me, but he assumed that he knew my worth. This was the first instance of racism I experienced here at NU. Sadly, it wasn’t the last. This summer, I decided to stay in Evanston and work on campus. I usually worked 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Black House as a part of Multicultural Student Affairs and spent the evenings working at Phonathon. I love working at Phonathon and find it very refreshing to hear the stories of success and life experiences of our distinguished alumni. However,
one alumnus was not so admirable. I spoke to him the day the Sandra Bland arrest video was released with audio. I watched it before leaving for work and decided that I could not process it at that moment. As a black student, I had to schedule my time to grieve. I’ve realized, especially from being at a school like NU, that the world doesn’t stop when black people are killed, even when your heart does. I went to work at Phonathon. It was a normal shift. I was talking to great alumni and raising money. That was until he picked up the phone. He was an older man, having graduated sometime in the early 1960s. The conversation started with the basics: name, address, occupation, etc. Our conversation started on the topic of football. He wasn’t happy with the coaching and wasn’t hopeful for the season — clearly, he was wrong considering our 10-3 finish. As the call progressed, I decided to ask him to give to a student group on campus. It was all downhill from there. He paused and asked me if I was black. I said I was. Him: “I don’t give money to black people.” Me: “Excuse me — ” *dial tone* You can imagine how I must have felt — shocked, hurt, angry, confused. Then sorrowful as a rush of emotion overcame me. I ran to the bathroom and proceeded to sob helplessly. I cried for Sandra. I cried for racism. I
cried for myself. I cried for my blackness. Well, guy in my PA group from freshman year and Phonathon alumnus guy: I’m still here, “taking up space.” I fill that space with excellence, dignity and scholarship. I fill that space with superb blackness, consciousness and compassion for others. I deserve to be here just as much as anyone else. I don’t have to prove my worth to you. Your measurements are unworthy of my acknowledgement. To every person of color on this campus that thinks they don’t “belong” here: You do. Furthermore, to those who devalue you and refuse to support you because of the color of your skin: It’s their loss. You know your self-worth. You know how valuable you are to this world and this campus. People that have hate for you because of what you look like must truly hate themselves. Be who you are, unapologetically. It only matters what you think of yourself. If anyone tells you differently, their opinion doesn’t matter anyway. You are more than enough. Cheron Z. Mims is a Weinberg Junior.

Don’t generalize when discussing cultural appropriation NICOLE KEMPIS
DAILY COLUMNIST
I had never heard of cultural appropriation before I arrived at Northwestern. I was raised in Hong Kong by South African parents and spent most of my life in international schools. I am also white, which understandably confuses and surprises some people. Cultural identity was never straightforward for me, and I still feel like I’m from everywhere but also nowhere. My cultural confusion is not unique. I am part of a growing population of cross-cultural people, internationally and in the U.S., for whom cultural, racial and national identities often do not converge. In my experience, I have found that when we talk about cultural appropriation at NU we do so in an exclusive way that assumes race and culture are interchangeable identities. Moreover, we often adopt a U.S.-centric rhetoric when discussing these “racial-cultural” identities. The concept of cultural appropriation is a significant one, particularly in multicultural
and multiracial societies with dominantly white populations, such as the U.S. or Australia. These nations also have enduring histories with regard to colonization’s devastating effect on their native populations. In such circumstances it’s easy for the dominant race to systematically marginalize minority groups and disrespect their cultures in a way that perpetuates negative stereotypes. For example, Lady Gaga appropriates Muslim culture by sexualizing Muslim burqas in her song “Aura.” This is a clear example of popular culture trivializing minority identities and traditions. However, cultural appropriation is not always that straightforward. At NU it is often simplified to mean any time a white person engages with culture associated with a historically (and presently) oppressed race. In reality it isn’t that simple, because external racial appearance is not equivalent to ingrained culture. For example, if you see a white person dressed in a cheongsam at a party you could make the argument she is only wearing it to be “unique” or “sexy,” in which case it would be an example of cultural appropriation. However, you can never assume someone isn’t intimately connected with a culture just
because they don’t look like the race you normally associate with that culture. Perhaps he or she is actually mixed race. Maybe he or she grew up abroad. You cannot tell if someone commits cultural appropriation without first knowing his or her story. People of any race could live in any nation or be associated with any culture. We further blur the line between race and culture when we make references to “white culture” or “black culture” or “Asian culture.” Terminology that decisively links culture and race without regard for nationality is an example of American exceptionalism. In most cases when students use these terms, they are making reference to American culture and failing to acknowledge varied national experiences. For example, “black culture” in the U.S. is obviously different from “black culture” in Namibia, Cuba or England. Considering the diverse cultures that exist in Asian nations, the term “Asian culture” is so general that it’s insulting. In reality we should be using more specific terms like “African-American culture” or “white-American culture” or “Asian-American culture.” These semantic differences become important when discussing cultural appropriation
I am not lucky because I can be openly gay JOSEPH MADDEN
DAILY COLUMNIST
As a white male born in America to parents who could send me to a great university, I should begin this column by acknowledging that my luck cannot be overstated. I am lucky to have been born into the situation I was. I did not deserve it — at the least, I deserved it no more than those born into less fortunate circumstances. So call me lucky. Call me lucky because I got into Northwestern. Call me lucky because I have good friends and a loving family. But do not call me lucky, as so many have, because of my right to live as an openly gay man. I understand that people before me have not had that right. I understand that many people still do not have that right. The brave men and women who fought for me to have that right — at Stonewall, during the AIDS epidemic and against “don’t ask, don’t tell” — would not have wanted me to be called
lucky. Just because generations upon generations of intersex people have been systematically oppressed across the globe and across centuries does not mean people today are lucky for not being as Luck aggressively oppressed. implies I do not People in previous years were unlucky. deserve what I They were unlucky have, that I have beyond overstatement for being discrimisomehow won nated against for their the lottery in sexuality — for what being able to they could not and should not have had to openly express change. attraction to But, this is not a lucky time to be gay. whichever All other times were gender I am just unlucky. attracted.

“
of loving me regardless of my sexual orientation, being raised in a society centered around male-female attraction has its challenges. Up until 13 years ago, gay sex was illegal. Our country spent hundreds of millions of dollars in the past two decades investigating whether or not it had any gay people brave enough to serve in our less-than-accepting military. Gay people only just recently won a right — the right to marry the ones they love — that everyone else has had for millennia. That is the crux of my argument: Straight people have always had these rights and just because gay people were always deprived of them does not mean they do not deserve them. They have some of these rights today, not out of luck, but because of their own hard work. In short, gay people deserve the same acceptance straight people have. They are not lucky to have it.

partly because some people have crosscultural identities, but more importantly because cultural appropriation is a concept that attempts to protect cultural identities, promote intercultural understanding and facilitate respectful exchange. We cannot begin to do this if we generalize about culture and race, assume a U.S.-centric rhetoric or exclude people whose race and culture are not obviously coherent. The concept of cultural appropriation has huge significance in the U.S., but it’s not so obvious to people that have come from other countries with different racial demographics and cultural histories. I would encourage those confronting people about cultural appropriation to continue do so, but do so respectfully and without generalizing.

What is more important, she added, is the live release rate, or how many animals are able to leave to a permanent or foster home alive. As of now, the shelter has about a 99 percent live release rate, Pasenko said. This live release rate is what led to CARE’s departure from the facility in 2014 as its euthanization rate for canines was about 45 to 50 percent in 2012, a statistic

between the students and the admin,” Patel said. “The admins are making the policies for Northwestern, but the students are feeling the impact of these policies.” Administrators asked students their opinion on current issues, such as the possible implementation of a 10-5-5-10 quarter system, said Sandeep Bharadwaj. Bharadwaj, who participated in the program last year, was shadowed by Peter Civetta, director of undergraduate research. Civetta attended class with Bharadwaj, the McCormick junior said, and observed the preparations for an upcoming fundraiser for Global Brigades, the club which Bharadwaj is president of. Bharadwaj, ASG director for dining initiatives, said the shadowing could show administrators how small policies in one department can affect students in multiple ways. “They don’t really see how affecting one realm of student life affects everything else,” Bharadwaj said. “For a student, everything is affected at the same time.” Adams said he found common ground with Patel, with aspects of Patel’s day reminding him of his own
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2016 recognized NU in its “overall improvement” category for private research institutions with endowments of over $1 billion, University spokesman Bob Rowley said. “It’s just been remarkably successful,” Rowley said. “I think of all the great things that will enable Northwestern to do. Think of all the good that can be done — to improve research, to serve students, to enhance the strategic goals of the University — with this kind of generosity.” foxm@u.northwestern.edu the organization disputed. As of October, EASA had only euthanized three cats for medical reasons. Although much of the funds EASA raises go toward its animals, the shelter is also involved with providing services to the families that leave their animals behind, Pasenko said. If a family is dropping off an animal because they lost their home, the shelter tries to connect them with the city’s social service organizations or provide them with food if they cannot afford it, she said. “We make it more than just about the animal,” Pasenko said. “It’s about having that personal, people factor.” torilatham2017@u.northwestern.edu college experience. “I rarely get this deep of an inside peek,” Adams said. “It provides that next level of understanding and better context with how students are engaging with the campus community, what they see as valuable in that community, and where they also find challenges within it and how we might work together to address those.” ASG tries to remain in contact with administrators to foster changes students wish to see, Roldan said. The program will continue next year and may switch the roles, allowing students to shadow administrators, she added. Some pairings, like Adams and Patel, are already talking about independently organizing days when the students can shadow the administrators this year, Patel said. “ASG should be acting as a liaison between the student body as a whole and between administrators,” Roldan said. “Hopefully with this program, we were able to include more voices that weren’t essentially heard before because they weren’t directly associated with ASG.” ericasnow2019@u.northwestern.edu

With Demps, McIntosh clicking, Wildcats win big By GARRETT JOCHNAU
the daily northwestern @garrettjochnau
With just under 12 minutes remaining in Thursday’s home bout against Minnesota, the visiting Golden Gophers called a timeout. In response, a purple-clad Welsh-Ryan Arena rose to its feet. In the three minutes prior, senior guard Tre Demps scored 7 points. His backcourt partner, sophomore Bryant McIntosh, assisted on two of them and scored 5 of his own. The energy in the arena was palpable as Northwestern basked in a remarkable sequence unlike any it had seen over its prior five-game losing skid. “When every team’s two best players are playing well, usually that’s going to carry over to the rest of the guys,” coach Chris Collins said. “I just thought they had a great command of the game today.” For the first time in a while, both of the Wildcats’ starting guards were playing well together. They ran the floor in sync, shot the ball spectacularly from deep — combining to finish 7-of14 from three-point range — and collectively enjoyed their best performance of Big Ten play. In the end, McIntosh notched 20 points and 3 assists, breaking the program’s single-season

Player to Watch, said she is putting an emphasis on finishing her shots Sunday and getting ahead early in the scoring category. “Lacrosse is a fast game and I think that in every game it’s important to set the tone right at the beginning of the game,” Lasota said. “We just have to come out fierce and ready to play the game that we all know that we can play.” The Cats’ game against Duke will be the first of four straight games against opponents that finished in the top-25 last season. During the difficult opening stretch, NU will rely on younger players like Lasota and sophomore Shelby Fredericks, who recorded the most
assist record in the process. Demps, on the heels of a career-high 30 points against Iowa, tallied 23 and a career-high 8 assists. From start to finish, the Cats’ two offensive leaders powered what had been a lifeless NU scoring attack entering Thursday’s contest. “They shot a great percentage, but what I like is they had 10 rebounds and they had 11 assists and only two turnovers,” Collins said. “To me I’ve got those are great numbers. … I thought they were to give a lot of fantastic and that they credit to our led us all night long.” coaching staff Demps seems to be finally finding his touch and the guys after a start to Big Ten play he’d likely rather because they’ve forget. His career outing continued to against Iowa was indicabelieve in me. tive of a returning confidence that was missing Tre Demps, during a January stretch senior guard that saw him shoot 30 percent or worse on five separate occasions.

draw controls for NU last season. Although the team’s younger players will be vital for its game Sunday, the Cats will also depend on veteran experience from seniors like Craig who have already competed against Duke three times. Craig was a member of the NU team that defeated the Blue Devils in 2014, when the then-sophomore scored four goals. But this year, Craig and her younger teammates will have to set the tone early by finishing on their shots. “Finishing is going to be huge,” Amonte Hiller said. “You always have to capitalize on the opportunities you have, and that is something we have been focusing in on.” danielwaldman2019@u.northwestern.edu
the fifth-year senior released a 3-point attempt. But recently, the opposite has been true, with back-to-back vintage performances from Demps. “I’m starting to feel more confident,” Demps said. “But I’ve got to give a lot of credit to our coaching staff and the guys because they’ve continued to believe in me. And when you have that kind of support, you don’t quit.” But as he slowly re-found his shot, McIntosh’s dried up. The sophomore guard’s 2-of-6 outing from the field against Iowa was preceded by three-straight contests in which his shooting percentage failed to crack 30 percent. And in the four games leading up to Thursday’s win, McIntosh averaged just 4.5 assists. But against a struggling Minnesota defense, the starting lineup’s only shot creators executed in full force. From start to finish, the duo breathed life into an NU offense that — for the first time in a while — had no apparent weakness in the backcourt. “Unfortunately, I think throughout this year, either I’ve been going and he’s not played as well as he could, or it’s the other way around,” McIntosh said. “It’s nice finally having one night where we were both clicking on all cylinders, and we played really well off each other. I think it’s pretty fun basketball when you can see that.” garrettjochnau2019@u.northwestern.edu

In the first and third quarters, the Illinois offense seemingly disappeared as the Fighting Illini scored just 17 points in those periods combined. In the second quarter, the hosts went on a 16-2 run in fewer than 5 minutes, with the Cats committing three turnovers and the Fighting Illini shooting 7-of-10 from the field. Overall, Illinois outscored the Cats 25-8 in the period, turning a 12 point NU lead after one quarter to a 5 point Illinois advantage at halftime. “Even when they went with five guards …

in the second quarter, they played really well,” McKeown said. NU, however, climbed back methodically. The Cats were able to shake off recent fourth quarter struggles and put the game away as they continue their quest to return to the NCAA Tournament. Inman said Thursday represented an opportunity for NU to dig in its heels and end the 5-game slide. “We felt like we were really killing ourselves with self-inflicted wounds,” she said. “We felt like we had this game, we felt like it was in our hands to lose. We said we needed to buckle down and just focus on coming out with better intensity, better focus on offense and defense.” colepaxton2019@u.northwestern.edu

Demps, McIntosh lead Cats in romp over Minnesota By MAX SCHUMAN

Taking the podium after Thursday’s game, a hoarse coach Chris Collins said his Wildcats’ recent five game losing streak wore on him. “When you lose, you don’t get a lot of sleep. It’s just an accumulation of being in the fight,” he said. “I’ll be better tomorrow.” For one night, at least, Collins can sleep easy. Northwestern (16-8, 4-7 Big Ten) controlled the game and ran away from an overmatched Minnesota (6-17, 0-11) in a 82-58 victory at home, snapping the Cats’ five-game losing streak in resounding fashion. Senior guard Tre Demps followed up his careerhigh 30 points against No. 3 Iowa on Sunday with an efficient 23 points to go with a career-high eight assists, while sophomore guard Bryant McIntosh got back on track after a tough game against the Hawkeyes, scoring 20 points of his own on 7-for14 shooting. NU got off to a fast start powered by hot shooting from distance. Before the first media timeout, Demps and freshman forward Aaron Falzon each hit two 3s and junior forward Sanjay Lumpkin connected on one to give the Cats a 19-8 edge.

Coffey helps NU snap five-game losing skid Northwestern

By COLE PAXTON
the daily northwestern @ckpaxton
Northwestern did two things Thursday it hasn’t done in a long time: win, and win on the road. Junior forward Nia Coffey recorded a double-double with 20 points and 13 rebounds, and junior guard Christen Inman added 20 points as the Wildcats (14-9, 3-8 Big Ten) defeated Illinois (8-14, 1-10) 69-59 in Champaign. With the win, NU snapped a five-game losing streak and won on the road for the first time since Dec. 13. “We’ve had a tough stretch,” coach Joe McKeown said. “We’ve had some great games that have been tough losses, and I think our team stayed committed to each other. That was really important. It was one of the things that we’ve been preaching in practice.” The win, only the team’s second
It was the beginning of a solid shooting evening for NU, as a team that has so often struggled with its shooting in conference play connected on 12-of-27 3s on the night, a step up from its 27.7 percent average in Big Ten games. McIntosh said the team was focused on getting out and running to help their offense. “I felt that’s when we played our best, when we got up and down the floor, got an open court,” he said. “That just allowed the ball to move naturally.” On the other end, the Cats came out in their matchup zone and bottled up the Minnesota offense. The Golden Gophers struggled to get into the paint and create easy shots in the halfcourt, scoring just 18 points in the paint en route to a 33.3 percent showing from the field in the game. NU didn’t offer much else offensively beyond its shooting early — the Cats scored just 13 of their 37 first-half points from inside the arc or at the foul line — and allowed Minnesota to hang close despite their struggles to score, with the Golden Gophers cutting the lead to 29-23 with 3:32 remaining in the first half. But NU took a 37-23 lead into halftime after an 8-0 run to finish the first half, keyed by several big plays on both ends by Alex Olah. The senior center, struggling with injury and replaced in the starting lineup for the game by freshman center Dererk Pardon, scored a layup, swung a pass from the post to a wide open Scottie Lindsey in the opposite corner for an open 3 and blocked two shots to give the Cats momentum
heading into halftime. NU stretched its lead early in the second half behind McIntosh, who scored 12 of his 20 points after the break and quieted speculation that he was wearing down under the weight of heavy minutes. McIntosh drained 3s, hit difficult floaters in the lane and, with three assists on the night, set the school record for assists in a season with 159, surpassing Tim Doyle’s 157 set in the 2006-2007 season. “He’s the guy that we’re going to follow behind,” Demps said of McIntosh. “He had a strong voice, a strong presence that I think gave everybody a sense of relaxation.” McIntosh’s record-setting assist came on a feed to Demps, who lofted in a shot in the paint that gave the Cats a 61-34 lead and forced a Minnesota timeout with 11:46 remaining. From there, NU coasted to the finish line, with the Golden Gophers never getting the lead to less than 21 points the rest of the way. After a five-game losing streak which included four losses to ranked teams, the Cats got a reprieve against one of the Big Ten’s bottom-dwellers. But NU shot well, defended well and took care of business early, giving the team’s fans something to smile about for the first time in a few weeks. “It’s been a long couple of weeks,” Collins said. “I’m really proud of the guys. This was a big game for us.”

the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals to Maryland last year, NU is looking to get back to at least the Final Four. But before the team can even start to think about the tournament, it will first have to deal with its seasonopening game against Duke. “We are just really excited to go out and not only get the opportunity to play them in our first game, but also to just play such a great team and elevate our strengths,” coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said. Amonte Hiller praised Duke and said the team took advantage of her squad last year. Despite five goals from Selena Lasota and four goals from Kaleigh Craig in last year’s game, the Cats couldn’t edge out the Blue Devils, and the visitors handed the Cats their first loss of the season. The teams put up similar statistics, but Duke was able to convert on more of its shots. The Cats recorded more ground balls and committed fewer turnovers, but NU only capitalized on 9-of-24 shots while the Blue Devils shot 15-of-27.
