‘Broad City’ stars talk success

Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, stars of Comedy Central’s “Broad City,” discussed Judaism and their comedy careers during this year’s A&O’s fall speaker event, cosponsored with Fiedler Hillel.

“One of my students, in an email, referred to you as the two most powerful Jewesses on television,” said Communication Prof. Catherine Carrigan, who moderated the event.

Although Glazer and Jacobson both agreed that they consider themselves “more Jewy than Jewish,” the pair said

Balancing the budget

City manager nixes end-of-year furlough day

There will not be a furlough day for city employees at the end of December, now that city officials believe state cuts to local governments won’t hit Evanston before the end of the year, the city manager announced Thursday.

After nearly five months without an Illinois budget, Evanston is still awaiting likely cuts to its share of state income taxes. However, Evanston’s 2015 budget seems like it can be balanced without the need for the money-saving furlough day on Dec. 31, which would require staff to take unpaid time off, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz wrote in a statement to city staff.

“What is clear is that it is very unlikely that the state will have a budget by the end of our current fiscal year, December

they consider “Broad City” a secular show. Glazer said the show is based more on comedy than on being Jewish, but is ultimately drawn from their life experiences in which Judaism plays a role.

Glazer and Jacobson said they both grew up as one of the few Jewish teenages in their communities. Jacobson was the first female in her family to be bat mitzvahed, but today she only attends synagogue when she is with her family. Glazer said although she is not observant, she still appreciates the religion’s role in her life.

“People don’t think I’m Jewish and it cracks me up,” Jacobson said.

The duo went on to discuss their comedy careers and success. Glazer and 31,” Bobkiewicz said in a statement.

“This allows city budget staff to have a clearer picture of our challenges as we look to conclude the current fiscal year 2015.”

Bobkiewicz first introduced the potential of furlough days as a budget balancing measure in July. Although city officials reneged on the idea of a furlough day in September, plans for a December furlough day remained on the table.

Bobkiewicz said the city’s 2015 budget is stable despite missing funds from motor fuel tax revenue, which Illinois has withheld from local governments since the state entered its next fiscal year without a budget on July 1. The Illinois House passed a bill last week to release certain funds to local governments including motor fuel tax revenue, which helps fund some Evanston staff.

Although the bill has yet to move forward, the city should receive the tax revenue by the end of the year, Bobkiewicz said.

Jacobson met through Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, an improv theater group based in New York, and went on to create a web series, “Broad City,” that was picked up by Comedy Central.

“It was truly experimental,” Glazer said.

“We weren’t aiming to check off boxes … we were truly trying to find our voice.”

When it moved to television, the show retained its original name and Glazer and Jacobson remained the stars of the series, a rare phenomenon in the television industry, Glazer said. Now, it is about to unveil its third season, which is set to premiere on Feb. 17. » See BROAD CITY, page 9

Evanston police have recovered a total of 15 guns as part of an initiative to reduce violence in the city that began about two months ago.

The program began after two fatal shootings occurred within a block of each other on Aug. 31 and Sep. 15.

Following the homicides and a rash of shots fired incidents, the Evanston Police Department now assigns two detectives every night to give specific attention to gun-related crimes, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan.

“Violent crime and guns are, of course, a priority for every officer,” Dugan said.

“But we dedicate two per night, (and) that’s all they do. If they get something else, if it’s unrelated … they hand that off to another detective that can handle it.”

Dugan described the program as a two-pronged effort. Every night, two detectives well-versed in gang and drug activity in the area strictly focus on recovering guns off the street, using tools like a heat map that tracks gun activity throughout Evanston. At the same time, officers that regularly patrol the city during the day have been collecting information and gathering community perspectives on the recent trend of gun violence.

In addition to recovering guns, the program has yielded various drug

retrievals and 21 gang member arrests as of Nov. 6, according to data from EPD. Previously, EPD has allocated officers to certain offenses and areas based on recurring crime patterns but started the initiative following gun-related incidents in the fall, Dugan said.

“It’s something we’ve done before, but with everything that’s going on and the concerns of the community, we decided to try this initiative,” he said.

In addition to the initiative, EPD has been operating a gun buyback program that allows Evanston residents to receive a $100 voucher by requesting an officer over the phone to pick up an unwanted operational firearm at any time.

Despite these measures, gun control activist Carolyn Murray said EPD’s focus with these programs has been misplaced.

Murray’s 19-year-old son was shot and killed nearly three years ago.

“There’s so many things they can do better,” Murray said. “We have problems with gun trafficking … those gangrelated crimes all go back to major issues of larger gun dealers in the area.”

Murray said that EPD should focus more on larger players in violent criminal activity such as gun traffickers.

“Going after the smaller fish is not the way to go,” she said.

Murray also appeared before City Council last month, asking city officials to reinstate gun buyback programs that » See VIOLENCE, page 9

Pro-Palestine activist talks at NU

By BEN WINCK

the daily northwestern @benwinck

Ali Abunimah, co-founder of online publication Electronic Intifada, and Northwestern Students for Justice in Palestine teamed up Thursday for a discussion on Israel’s occupation policies and the resulting retaliation from Palestinians.

Abunimah, a pro-Palestinian activist, came for the SJP discussion in an effort to answer questions relating to the recent violence throughout Palestine. During the discussion in Swift Hall, the author addressed how recent terrorist attacks around the world mirror events that have been taking place between Israel and Palestine for several years.

Abunimah, who had found himself the center of a censorship controversy when Evanston Public Library canceled, then reinstated his talk during a summer of

heightened conflict in the Israel-Palestine region, said he was happy to address Evanston residents and NU students once more. About 70 students, faculty and community members attended the event.

Starting with the 9/11 attacks that brought terrorism into the limelight, Abunimah said he thinks that although countless atrocities make headlines around the world, similar occurrences in Palestine remain ignored as media outlets focus on Israel’s side of the story. However, Abunimah declared that the issue of apartheid between Israel and Palestine has escalated enough to merit international concern.

He then walked the audience through what he said was the basic path a Palestinian citizen takes when he or she is accused of a crime by the Israeli government.

“The person has not been convicted of any violent act . . . Yet the punishment is delivered not merely to them, but to their family, their children and their neighbors,”

Abunimah said. “In just the demolitions that occurred this week, 47 Palestinians were made homeless, 20 of them children, and half of them in homes that weren’t even targeted.”

Abunimah noted that even though few Palestinian individuals were targeted in the demolition bombings, far more suffered as bystanders. This method of attack, defined as collective punishment under the fourth Geneva Convention, he said, violates international law.

The discussion continued with Abunimah addressing what he said was more lenient enforcement of the law for Israeli citizens compared to others, and said that few crimes committed by Israelis reach a court, and of those that end in convictions, the punishment incurred is far less severe.

Abunimah cited the July 2014 beating of Palestinian-American student Tariq Abu Khdeir in Jerusalem. He said when the » See ABUNIMAH, page 9

Around Town Evanston Public Library seeks to expand collection

By JULIA JACOBS

daily senior staffer @juliarebeccaj

Evanston residents visit the city’s public library less frequently than residents in nearby communities, according to data reported by the city that has spurred officials to try to add more materials to Evanston Public Library’s collection.

In Evanston, residents averaged about nine library visits each in 2014, compared with about 12 visits per Skokie resident and 15 visits per Oak Park resident, according to data sent by library officials to City Council on Oct. 29 and later made public. The primary reason for that disparity is the size of library collections, said EPL assistant director Paul Gottschalk.

Constraints on EPL’s budget prevent the library from buying as many bestsellers or DVDs as other institutions, Gottschalk said.

“We don’t have as much of what people want,” he said. “Our collection just is not as high quality as other locations, and we’re working to change that.”

The library’s 2016 proposed budget includes a nearly 5 percent increase, in part to purchase more materials and establish a pilot program to provide patrons with immediate access to materials over the Internet.

In Illinois, funding for libraries comes mostly from property taxes. While the average Evanston resident paid about $80 in property taxes for the library, the average resident in Skokie and Oak Park paid about $200 for their respective libraries.

Police Blotter Man robbed in downtown Evanston while looking for food shelter

A 20-year-old man was robbed Wednesday morning in downtown Evanston.

The Evanston man told police he was walking in an alley in the 1700 block of Sherman Avenue at about 7:30 a.m. when he asked two men for directions to a nearby food shelter, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan.

The man told police the two men were leading

EPL also receives a state grant for collection development amounting to about $94,000 per year, but this year’s funding is missing due to the state’s budget impasse, Gottschalk said. Illinois has been without a budget since the beginning of its fiscal year on July 1, resulting in missing funds for local governments and some social services organizations.

In addition to a smaller number of library visits him to the shelter when one of the men threw the victim to the ground and began kicking him.

The men took the $10 that fell from the 20-year-old man’s coat and fled, Dugan said.

The man said he was not hurt and refused medical assistance.

compared with nearby communities, EPL patrons also check out fewer items. Last year, Evanston residents checked out nearly 18 items fewer on average than Skokie residents.

Ald. Donald Wilson (4th) said another reason for lesser library use in Evanston could be the lack of accessibility of library space to the entire community.

The EPL has a main branch located downtown at 1703 The man was seen placing four bottles of Effen vodka in his backpack and walking out of the Jewel-Osco by a store employee in the 2400 block of Howard Street at about 2:15 p.m., Dugan said. The four bottles are valued at more than $100.

The man was charged with a misdemeanor for retail theft. He is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 10.

Orrington Ave., as well as a north branch on Central Street and a south branch near Main Street.

“As far as just being able to go to a library space or building, it’s a lot harder,” Wilson said. “If you draw a diagonal line through the city, the libraries are on one side of the diagonal line.”

To help alleviate this divide, there have been ongoing conversations among community leaders to include a library space in a redeveloped Robert Crown Center located about one mile west from the library’s south branch, he said.

However, Connie Heneghan, an EPL staff member who works in neighborhood services, said the library already places a strong emphasis on outreach to the community. Heneghan said she attends a meeting of senior citizens at the Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center each week, bringing library materials that individuals can check out remotely.

Those sorts of off-site outreach opportunities — which play a major role in the library’s mission — are not counted in library visitation data, Gottschalk said.

Although the smaller scale of EPL’s collections may require a visitor wait to check out a sought-after bestseller, the library aims to use it money to provide a wide variety of people with what they’re looking for, Heneghan said.

“I know that we don’t have as many of some of the popular titles as other libraries do,” she said. “But in terms of supplying a diverse community, we want to spend our money in a way that serves as many people as possible.” juliajacobs2018@u.northwestern.edu

Xbox creator talks console origins

By MUSTAFA ALIMUMAL

the daily northwestern

Game console guru Robbie Bach, one of the minds behind the Halo, Gears of War and Fable title, spoke Thursday about his journey leading the team that created the Xbox video game system.

The business leader was featured as part of the Farley Center’s e@nu speaker series at the Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center. About 20 people attended the event, where Bach drew on two decades of experience as a Microsoft Corporation executive and on the past five years as an engineer focused on civic engagement.

Bach stressed the need for cooperation in meeting team goals through an anecdote about the Xbox 360, the second generation of the console. Drawing on the difference between the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox’s approach, he lauded the centralized, one-team strategy behind the newer model compared to the original Xbox’s multiple business units, which each had its own jurisdiction.

That transformation, he said, made the Xbox 360 one of the best teams he worked with at Microsoft.

“We had to redefine the way people thought

Mudd renovations to expand building vertically, horizontally

Mudd Science and Engineering Library is next in line for a facilities revamp, with work beginning around December.

The construction will enlarge the library by adding two floors to the current three-story building and will increase space on each floor, new and existing. With a focus on collaboration and augmented laboratory facilities, the

about ‘team,’” Bach said. “There wasn’t a firstparty team, a hardware team, a software team; there was an Xbox team.”

Bach then spoke fondly about a self-titled meeting called the “Valentine’s Day Massacre” during January 2000 with former Microsoft CEOs Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer.

He said the three had joined other top Microsoft executives in highlighting the difference between Microsoft Windows’ operating system and the Xbox project: the software being run by the game instead of the other way around.

“Bill comes into the room and slams his hand on the table and starts yelling about why we’re screwing the business,” Bach said. “For two and a half to three hours, we discussed that topic. At that point I said, ‘if you’re not comfortable with it, let’s just not do it.’ That led to another hour and a half of arguing what would happen if we didn’t do Xbox.”

Bach also talked about the “business, experience, technology” model for a product, which he credits as the backbone for many successful products. He referenced this idea with respect to other products and services such as Uber and iTunes.

Caitlin Smith, associate director of the Farley Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, said she invited Bach to Northwestern

due to the innovative nature of his Xbox team.

“Robbie really stood out, because we focus a lot on entrepreneurship,” Smith said. “What they did was obviously incredibly innovative. It adds a really different perspective to our speaker lineup, our teaching and it is just a cool look at innovation from within a company.”

SESP sophomore Nick Serratelli said he plans to apply Bach’s advice in pursuit of his own goals.

“Especially how he was geared towards life lessons like the BXT was really cool because it was something that we can apply now,” Serratelli said. “I want to be part of a business someday … I can use those things in my work or later on in life.”

Bach finalized his speech by talking about challenges he personally faced with Xbox and how he pushed through those obstacles including deviating from public relations standards and convincing people to accept the violence in his team’s games.

“The other thing that was challenging for me was to get through my head that it was OK to be plain different,” Bach said. “I wanted the rest of the company to love what we were doing.”

renovations will spur long-term growth of research and faculty.

The project aims to work on adding about 150,000 square feet to the library, with existing floors increasing by 75 percent.

The construction will also shift pedestrian traffic to north of the library using various safety signs. However, despite the expansion of the top three floors’ science research laboratories and the collaborative student-study zones in the rest of the building, Mudd’s main library will stay on the second floor.

Once the project is finished, the library will boast a new ground-floor entrance and

a connection to the main library from a twolevel atrium. However, it will retain its key passageways to the Technological Institute and Cook Hall with new scientific features like climate-controlled space for experimentation and a computational laboratory. In addition, there will be a new wet laboratory and a research advising area.

The University said in a news release the goal of the construction is to fuse library and laboratory resources to create new opportunities for student teamwork in academics.

Sikhism needs a safe space on campus, nationally ASHA SAWHNEY

DAILY 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.

Although Halloween is a time of celebration for many, each year Oct. 31 brings painful memories for Sikhs worldwide. Starting in late October of 1984, almost 3,000 Sikhs were massacred in four days in India, mostly in the capital region of Delhi. These killings were in response to a series of tragic events in which Prime Minister Indira Gandhi ordered an operation to rid the Golden Temple, the holiest shrine of the Sikhs, of a Sikh militant group taking residence there.

Thousands of men, women and children, were gunned down for the crimes of a few.

In retaliation, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi

was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards, and immediately after her death every Sikh in Delhi became a target for murder by the Congress Party, the police force and rioting civilians. My father was studying engineering in Delhi at the time, but luckily the Indian Institute of Technology kept him safe.

I could talk about the events of 1984 for days, but that is not the focus of what I want my peers at Northwestern to understand.

Instead, I want my peers to understand the difficulty of being an underrepresented, silenced and erased minority on this campus. Sikhism is the fifth largest religion in the world with about 30 million adherents, yet there is not a single class focused on our religion or population at NU. It is unlikely for Sikhs to even be mentioned in South Asian history, despite being violently affected by the Partition of India, one of the world’s largest forced relocations.

Likewise, there is no student group or religious staff for Sikh students to access, and it was only this year upon my request, that Sikhism was mentioned in the Diversity and Inclusion Essential NU. The frustrating truth is that every one of us accepted our erasure long ago. I saw confirmation of this when Sikh students slowly stood up in surprise at the ENU, after making themselves comfortable with the expectation that they would not

be called to stand. We grew up with history textbooks that blatantly denied our religion, and attempted to wash us over with Hinduism, India’s majority religion, so why would college be any different?

Having no representation or resources on campus takes a physical toll on me as a Sikh student, because there is no space for me to talk through the pain of experiencing Islamophobia. Despite not being Muslim, Sikhs face Islamophobia at astonishing rates due to post-9/11 reactions to the turbans (dastar) that many men and some women proudly wear to go along with our often, but not always, uncut hair.

The statistics are utterly depressing.

According to the Sikh Coalition, 83 percent of Sikhs have been or are close to someone affected by a hate crime, around half of Sikh children face bullying based on their religion and nearly 1 in 10 Sikh adults in New York have been violently assaulted since 9/11. To add to the wounds, in 2012, a white supremacist gunned down six people just over an hour away from Evanston at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. When I go there to pray, I still imagine what the walls looked like when they were soaked with blood.

Here’s the thing — I want to see change.

I desperately do. But I’m tired. I’m tired of never seeing my religion represented except

when I ask for it to be. I’m tired of running through the bullet points of my religion, because it’s unfair to distill a beautiful faith based on revolutionary equality into digestible, “easy,” facts. I want to see a student group for us, but I know in my heart it would require hundreds of hours of my time to create that I don’t have.

Therefore, until I find these hundreds of hours, all I want is for students on this campus to take the initiative to educate themselves. Look up our faith, find out where the gurdwara nearest to your hometown is and lend a helping hand when you see either us or our Muslim brothers and sisters being treated like the enemy. I haven’t provided bullet points on our beliefs here on purpose.

And to my fellow Sikhs, I hope you read this and know our identity, culture and pain deserve affirmation. And if you’re looking to chat with someone who shares part of your story, please reach out.

The politics of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster JOE MADDEN

DAILY COLUMNIST

When a religion preaches the supremacy of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, blessed be his noodly appendage, it comes across as stupid.

Understandably, people preaching that God is real and made of pasta do not appear to be politically clever. But they are. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, in its intentionally ridiculous doctrine, is fighting to remove religion from government and demonstrate how certain ancient religious doctrines hurt the modern world.

Pastafarians — the followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster — are set on fighting the intersection of church and state. For example, they preach the Theory of Intelligent Falling (originated by “The Onion”): that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is forever using his many noodly appendages to hold us down to Earth.

It is a theory in which, obviously, nobody believes. But the church’s persistence in getting it taught in physics classes alongside the

theory of gravity is holding up a politically sharp mirror to the Christians who are trying to get the Theory of Intelligent Design taught alongside evolution. Pastafarians even make the same argument those Christian groups make when espousing creationism: The scientific theory, gravity and evolution, respectively, is just a theory. By satirically pushing the Theory of Intelligent Falling, Pastafarians show that a theory backed by science makes more sense and is more worth teaching to students than one backed by religion. They demonstrate how wrong it would be to teach impressionable children two theories on one phenomenon when one is infinitely more likely to be right than the other.

Though often downplayed, the intersection of church and state is nevertheless present in America. I am still angry that each of my classmates, regardless of his or her religion, would have to stand up every school morning and acknowledge God during the Pledge of Allegiance. We should have been able to go to American public school without recognizing Him or Her. America’s belief in the separation of church and state stems back to its foundation. Its failure to actually separate them does too.

The practices of using holy texts in inaugurations, swearing witnesses into court with their hands on the Bible and branding our money with “In God We Trust” are all examples of religion in government. They all show that America does not practice what it preaches on keeping the church out of the state. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is an effort to bridge that gap between American ideology and reality.

The insanity of the beliefs of Pastafarianism, which is essentially its entire point, shows how ridiculous other religious beliefs can be. David Niose, in his Psychology Today article, “In Wake of French Terror, Maybe Pastafarians Aren’t So Crazy,” points out that the doctrines of Pastafarianism reveal how misplaced ancient religious ideals are in “modern context.” The application of thought from thousands of years ago, thought that seems as crazy as that of the existence of a carbohydrate-based deity, is not just absurd but, as Niose notes, dangerous. Ancient interpretations of Islam that justify terrorism, usage of the Old Testament as an argument against homosexual marriage and the tenants of numerous religions that oppress women worldwide are all demonstrations of

old thought hurting the new world. In comparison, believing in his blessed Noodliness is completely harmless.

In its persistence in pretending to believe in a God made of pasta, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is performance art. Pastafarians’ clever mirroring of other religions’ practices — allowing religion to permeate their dress (pirates), state ID pictures (wearing colanders on their heads) and language (“blessed be his noodly appendage”) — puts those who do believe in God in the shoes of those who do not. The religion brings its viewers into a dialogue on what is and is not acceptable to say or do in the name of faith, showing them that forcing religion into government is unfair and that faith is too often used as a justification for violence and social regression. They just happen to do that with Italian food.

Navajo artist talks experience Filmmaker discusses Native American identity

By DANIEL FERNANDEZ

the daily northwestern @DanielAaron1007

Navajo filmmaker and artist Pamela J. Peters explored the “modern Indian” in discussion Thursday night around her latest multimedia project.

More than 15 people attended the gathering at Annie May Swift Hall, where Peters presented the project, Legacy of Exiled NDNz, and spoke on the challenges of Native Americans in modern, urban communities on Thursday night. The event, part of the One Book One Northwestern’s programming for the 2015-2016 school year as well as Native American Heritage Month, was co-sponsored by the Multicultural Filmmakers Collective and the Native American and Indigenous Student Alliance.

Peters’ project examines the lives of seven young Native American adults from various tribes in Los Angeles, who she said either have moved off their reservations or are the offspring of those displaced by the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ Relocation program in the 1950s and 60s.

“My entire mission is to dispel the image of the dying Indian,” she said. “I want people to understand American Indians without cliches.”

The short film is made up of black and I want people white photos and video, to really engage juxtaposed with clips from “The Exiles,” a and redefine 1961 film by Kent Mackand reimagine enzie that tells the story a group of young who we are as of Native Americans who Indians today. left the reservation during relocation for Los Pamela Peters, Angeles.

Navajo filmmaker Peters said her goal and artist was to create a similar, neo-realistic portrait of what Mackenzie did in “The Exiles.”

“I want my images to invoke a contemporary sensibility, the reality of the vibrant, passionate smiling Indians living in urban worlds of yesteryears to today,” she said.

Through these stories, Peters hopes to show the real lives of young American Indians living in urban environments and counter inaccurate portrayals of Indians within mass media, including television, fashion, sports and movies “Our existence is something of a relic, something that is counted, something that is commodified,” Peters said. “Most people believe in the negative and fictional ideologies conveyed by people from non-native land.”

Peters said that contrary to popular belief, Native Americans have not disappeared and maintain tight-knit, communities in urban environments, especially Los Angeles, which she called a “Pan-Indian reservation.”

“We have a history to Los Angeles but the contributions have never been told,” Peters said.

“I want people to really engage and redefine and reimagine who we are as Indians today.”

Planning for the event began in June, said Communication senior Emelyn Barrientos, a coprogramming chair for the Multicultural Filmmakers Collective. Barrientos said she and her partner, Communication senior Natalie Frazier reached out to roughly 10 Native American filmmakers and eventually settled on Peters due to her unique project and background.

Frazier said Peters’ existence is revolutionary.

“You have a Navajo woman who’s making film,” she said. “She’s depicting people who have been erased from history.”

Barrientos also commended Peters’ work for the unique format and said the stories of native youth have particular relevance for students at Northwestern.

“A lot of people forget that the majority of Native American people live in urban environments,” Barrientos said. “It’s also important to realize that there are many different identities that come from this group like any other minority group.”

Forecasting record

*against the spread

Northwestern players and fans will long remember the Wildcats’ thrilling 43-40 overtime win over Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, a year ago last weekend, but they also won’t soon forget what happened next.

Minutes after Jack Mitchell’s game-winning field goal split the uprights, the triumphant NU roster streamed down the tunnel and toward the locker room, past a table lined with red and white bags containing fried chicken sandwiches.

Observing the scene was Jeff Parrott, a South Bend Tribune reporter freelancing for the Associated Press that night. In a cell phone video lasting a little over a minute, Parrott captured an absurd and hilarious procession of excitement that has now been viewed nearly 275,000 times on YouTube, an avalanche of joy best summed up by offensive lineman Ian Park’s memorable words, “Oh sh-t, Chick-fil-A.” Players’ listed years reflect their standing last season, when the Chick-fil-A phenomenon occurred.

Jeff Parrott, reporter, South Bend Tribune, Associated Press: I was just standing there after the game, as I always do. I always do the visiting team’s players after the game. I was just standing there waiting for the players to come up the tunnel to the locker room so I could interview a few of them.

Paul Kennedy, assistant athletic director for communications: The interesting thing is, that was lined up right outside our locker room, and Notre Dame Stadium, the locker-room setup is a little unusual: both teams come down the same tunnel. So postgame, if you’ve got security there they’re focused on Notre Dame’s half of the stadium, so there wasn’t anybody to look at the fact that there was a reporter right outside the locker room, where they probably shouldn’t have been, recording our guys. Obviously it was kind of a serendipitous oversight on our part.

Chick-fil-A was not Northwestern’s typical postgame meal but rather a treat suggested by coach Pat Fitzgerald.

The Chick-fil-A nearest to Notre Dame Stadium sits 3.5 miles away in Mishawaka, Indiana.

Cody Cejda, director of football operations: I work directly with our sports nutritionist Katie Knappenberger, and the two of us decide what we’re going to have for most postgame meals. But going into that week, coach Fitz grabbed me and said, “Hey, I want Chick-fil-A for the guys afterward. The guys love Chick-fil-A.” Pat Fitzgerald, coach: I like Chick-fil-A (laughs). I was given the options of what we were going to potentially get there, and I think I asked the Leadership Council what they would prefer to have, but it was a no-brainer for me. I would rather have Chick-fil-A than some of the mystery stuff we get on the road. I didn’t know it would become a viral experience for people.

Daily file photo by Nathan Richards

OH SH-T Northwestern beat Notre Dame last November thanks to two clutch kicks from Jack Mitchell. After the game, Wildcats players were treated to Chick-fil-A.

Parrott: There’s always a different restaurant that has food on the table for the visiting team to eat, and it’s always interesting to see which restaurant it’s going to be. So it was Chick-fil-A, and these kids just started coming up the tunnel and noticing the Chick-fil-A before they got into the locker room, and one of them started to yell, “Ay, Chick-fil-A, I love Chick-fil-A,” and it just kind of caught on with each guy that came after him. So I whipped out my phone and just started shooting. … There were probably a couple players that said it before I got my phone out and got it turned on.

Six seconds into the video, offensive lineman Eric Olson walks by the camera and glances at the bags of Chick-fil-A on the table. Seconds later, a voice just offscreen yells “And we got Chick-fil-A, this is the best day ever.” A year later, Olson proudly confesses that the voice belongs to him.

Eric Olson, sophomore offensive lineman: It’s me, it’s me. “And we got Chick-fil-A, this is the best day ever.”

We were all so pumped. Everybody ran on the field, we sang the fight song, we’re all happy running off the field, I turn the corner, I see those white and red bags, and it just got the best of me.

Following Olson’s exclamation, a number of other players chime in, including defensive linemen Max Chapman (“ah, Chick-fil-A!”) and Xavier Washington (“And we got the Chick-fil-A!”).

Max Chapman, junior defensive lineman: The thought that’s always in the back of our minds is, “What food are we going to have on the way back?”

There’s not a lot of Chick-fil-A in Chicago — there’s one downtown, but it’s hard to get to, and there’s none in Evanston — so it’s safe to say a lot of us go a long time without getting Chick-fil-A. About as long as it had been since the last time Notre Dame and Northwestern played back when Fitz was a player, that was the same drought from when most of us had Chick-filA. So to see Chick-fil-A presented as an opportunity for us, that was truly a special moment that will go down in Wildcats history as really living up to the name “the Cardiac Cats,” because all of our hearts were racing at that moment.

Xavier Washington, freshman defensive end: Coming off that win, after that field goal goes in, you never think that anything could make that moment any more special, but when we turned the corner and I saw those bags with the red chicken on them, I was so excited. It was like a new breath, it was like a new game was about to start. It made the moment even greater, and I didn’t think that was possible.

Chapman: I feel like each response was just genuine. The inner joy from each person was just unleashed at that moment.

Perhaps the funniest reaction to Chick-fil-A comes 33 seconds in when Park, points at the bags and exclaims, with endearing earnestness, “Oh sh-t, Chick-fil-A.” Ian Park, sophomore offensive lineman: After any game, win or lose, the whole team is hungry. There’s no denying that. Usually we get something local, depending on where we are, or something that tastes bad. On that particular day, I see Chick-fil-A, and everyone starts freaking out. The last time we had Chick-fil-A after practice or after a game or something like that

was at the Gator Bowl (in January 2013). … I got really excited and might have screamed an obscenity or two.

Parrott: It just seemed funny to me. These kids had just upset Notre Dame, and they pulled off this come-from-behind victory in overtime, and they’re all excited about Chick-fil-A. Parrott uploaded the video soon after the game (He had posted to YouTube only once before, three years prior, and accidentally uploaded the Chick-fil-A video three times), and it quickly began to spread. Bleacher Report was the first major news outlet to post the clip, and before long it had been shared across the Internet.

Parrott: The video just struck me as funny, and for some reason I just thought to upload it to YouTube.

I don’t usually do that. … So I don’t think I had any expectation that anyone would even see it. But the views just kept growing.

My son is 13 years old, and he and I were cracking up as the numbers kept going up and up and up.

And then the next day it was on ESPN, and they had credited me, with my name up on the screen when it was on ESPN, so I had friends across the country that saw it and called me.

Olson: I had no idea anyone was filming until I saw it later. It got it sent to me by a bunch of people.

Everyone thought it was hilarious.

Park: A lot of my friends posted it on my Facebook wall, which wasn’t cool because I thought I was going to get in trouble because I said the “s-word” on camera.

I thought the coaches would bring it up or something like that, but they were cool with it, since we won.

Matt Frazier, junior offensive lineman: The next morning we came in for film, and we pulled it up in the o-line room and we all watched it together and laughed.

Kennedy: My first thought was probably, “I’d rather they not be cursing on video.” But then I laughed real hard. … I saw a lot of happy faces on the field, but I don’t know if I saw any happier faces on the field than what I saw in that video when they realized they were getting Chick-fil-A. Chapman: My first thought was, “That would be a fantastic Chick-fil-A commercial,” but I know with (NCAA) compliance rules that would never happen.

Kennedy: For Chick-fil-A to use it in an ad absolutely would have been a problem because it would have been an endorsement.

Those bags of chicken made NU players a viral sensation and cemented Chick-fil-A permanently in Cats lore (The team ordered Chick-fil-A again this season following a win at Duke). But one crucial question went unanswered in the now-famous video from that memorable night in South Bend: Did the sandwiches live up to expectations?

Washington: It was beyond expectations.

Chapman: Most importantly, it was a winning chicken. The chicken would have been proud.

Parrott: Those kids had so much adrenaline coursing through their veins I think they would have been that excited about bologna sandwiches.

Olson: Everything tastes good after a win, but Chick-fil-A tastes even better. asputt@u.northwestern.edu

Examining the Cats’ volatile offensive line carousel

By BOBBY PILLOTE

daily senior staffer @BobbyPillote

Northwestern has played 10 games this year and used seven different combinations of starters along its offensive line. Not one of the five positions has remained constant throughout the season, with injuries, intentional shuffling and poor play all juggling the offensive front.

But through it all, NU’s men in the trenches have managed to maintain a sense of cohesion as they try to keep the line operating at peak performance.

“If the last name on the jersey is different,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said, “and the jersey number is different at left guard or right guard or center or either tackle, you’re expected to go out and execute fundamentally.”

That Fitzgerald has been able to substitute players so often is a testament to the offseason preparation of the offensive line. The coach emphasized an increase in “competitive depth” during the offseason, and that’s clearly been the case with nine different players seeing regular action and four making starts at more than one position.

And far from being a concern for the coaching staff, the position group being in flux is seen as a positive by offensive line coach Adam Cushing.

“You look at a guy like (redshirt freshman) Blake Hance,” Cushing said. “He was forced into action a couple times due to injury and ultimately won the job. He probably doesn’t do that if he hadn’t been rolled in a couple of times.”

Hance has indeed stabilized the left tackle position, especially in the absence of injured senior Geoff Mogus, but all the shuffling hasn’t necessarily led to better play. The entire offensive line has struggled this season in spite of, or because of, all the changes.

Football Outsiders ranks NU in the bottom half of the FBS in each of its running-related offensive line statistics. The Cats are exactly average in adjusted line yards, a metric which

measures their running success based on their opponents, and rank 112th and 108th, respectively, in power success rate and stuff rate, two statistics which measure NU’s effectiveness at the line of scrimmage.

The traditional stats follow suit. The Cats rank a middling seventh in the Big Ten in average yards per carry and are second-to-last in the conference with just 12 rushing touchdowns this season. NU ranks slightly above

average in pass protection, according to Football Outsiders, which isn’t very reassuring considering the line is blocking for an especially fast quarterback in redshirt freshman Clayton Thorson.

But some recent numbers actually point to an uptick in success for the blocking unit.

Sophomore running back Justin Jackson seemed to disappear against Michigan, Iowa and Nebraska, three teams with notoriously bulky defensive lines, but has exploded in the two games since for 302 yards on 52 carries and just his second rushing score of the season.

Senior lineman Matt Frazier said the offense has added a few wrinkles to its scheme in recent weeks, but that the performance of the line still comes down to the basics.

“We’ve been working on blocking at the point of attack better, putting our eyes where they need to be and running through with our feet,” Frazier said. “Scheme is great and everything, but we have made an emphasis at the point of attack.”

It may be that the Cats have finally found the right mix, though the starting five is again uncertain after the injury of senior Shane Mertz, slated earlier this week to start Saturday against Wisconsin.

But regardless of continued performance, the fact that the offensive line has been able to weather so much remains a testament to the chemistry of the unit as a whole.

“It doesn’t matter who it is,” Fitzgerald said.

“You have to step up.”

Cookology to dish out classic childhood meals

By JULIA DORAN

the daily northwestern @_juliadoran

Cookology, Northwestern’s culinary arts club, is collaborating with PROMPT Literary Magazine to host a pop-up restaurant this Saturday featuring food and writing reminiscent of classic American childhood meals.

Weinberg sophomore Diana Fu, head of advertising for Cookology, said the pop-up restaurant, named Caulfield, will offer a set menu of food and beverages spanning six courses, each accompanied by a description penned by PROMPT staff members.

“We wanted to partner with PROMPT because we thought it would be an interesting spin on our traditional pop-up restaurants,” Fu said. “We thought it would be really fun to read about peoples’ personal childhood memories attached to the dishes that we’re serving.”

The restaurant will operate for one day with a menu that includes Cookology’s take on a variety of foods known as childhood favorites, including grilled cheese, chicken noodle soup, apple pie and thin mint cookies, Fu said.

PROMPT’s event and marketing coordinator, Weinberg sophomore Erin Dunbar, said she was excited for the chance to partner with Cookology when the group approached her with the idea, as this event is unlike any collaboration the magazine has done in the past. She said PROMPT will contribute five to eight short pieces of foodthemed writing corresponding to the diverse selection of courses on the menu, including meatloaf, donuts and macaroni and cheese.

The personal experiences revealed through the writing will demonstrate the various ways in which the foods were involved in the childhood and development of the writers, as well as how and why they have become meaningful, Dunbar said.

“We’re trying to really create a nostalgic atmosphere that will bring back all of those childhood memories, and I think the writing of our staff

members will really enhance that,” she said.

Weinberg sophomore Megan Pan, social media head of Cookology, said the group decided on the theme of childhood because they thought it would be a particularly rich topic to pair with food literature, as peoples’ early experiences with food shape how they approach it in the present.

Caulfield marks the club’s fourth pop-up restaurant to date, Pan said.

“The pop-up restaurants are always a lot of work, but in my opinion they’re the most rewarding things that we do at Cookology,” she said.

Pan said the name of this pop-up, inspired by J.D. Salinger’s protagonist, Holden Caulfield, in the novel “The Catcher in the Rye,” was chosen to subtly reflect We’re trying to the theme while also representing the literreally create ary component. a nostalgic “We wanted the restaurant name to atmosphere recall a certain idea of that will bring childhood, the kind back all of those that is filtered through nostalgia — something childhood warm and pure,” Pan memories. said.

Pan said she hopes Erin Dunbar, the restaurant will give PROMPT event attendees a “fusion and marketing experience” in which coordinator the literature and food compliment each other to be enjoyed simultaneously during each course.

Cookology has been working hard to publicize the event amid hectic preparation, Fu said.

“I’m trying to communicate to students that it’s actually a really good deal,” she said. “It’s $20 dollars for a quality six-course meal that’s probably better than any food you’ve had on campus and ever will have on campus, or even at professional restaurants.”

The event is open to the public and will be held at Willard Dining Hall this Saturday.

The speaker event also featured a studentsubmitted Q&A session. One student asked the pair what advice they would give themselves five years ago.

“Why would I give myself different advice?”

Jacobson told the audience of about 500. “I love what’s happening.”

Glazer said she would tell herself to keep doing what she was doing. The pair then emphasized the importance of writing and collaboration.

“Writing is so powerful,” Glazer said. “You have control, have agency, have discernment over what you’re representing because it matters.”

In regards to collaboration, Glazer and Jacobson said students should remember to take advantage of the people around them and let go of competition.

Jacobson made an example of auditions. She said that when she and Glazer are called to the same castings, they do not feel competitive because they are completely different people.

“Different parts are right for different people,” Jacobson said. “Find partnership that fuels you.”

Weinberg freshman Sophie Anolick said the “Broad City” stars did a good job addressing the importance of perseverance and hard work, while still being humorous.

“They spoke to a lot of different things,” Anolick said. “It wasn’t standup, but it was still comedy and it was really great.”

Organizers said they were pleased with how the event turned out.

“Abbi and Ilana were so personable,” said Lauren Kandell, Hillel communications co-chair and speakers co-chair Lauren Kandell. “They definitely hit on all the things that the audience and we, as an organization, wanted to hear them speak about so I’m really excited and I think it went really well.”

boy was repeatedly kicked, shoved and punched by two masked Israeli officers for simply being outside, the Israeli court only convicted one of the officers. Even more shocking, Abunimah said, was the punishment for the one: 45 days of community service.

Were this act to be committed by a Palestinian to an Israeli boy, Abunimah said he thinks Israeli forces would have acted without a court conviction and would enact a far more violent punishment.

The talk concluded with Abunimah stating that there is still hope for Palestinians if Israeli forces are willing to reform their judicial system.

“We have the option to do justice . . . change the laws that discriminate against one group or another, and begin to rebuild a society that is worth living in for everybody,” said Abunimah. “Despite everything, I still believe this is possible in Palestine.”

Two students attending the talk expressed their interest in the topic and how their backgrounds have allowed for them to view both sides.

Communication sophomore Mia Grindon said she was intrigued to hear about the issue from a proPalestine perspective.

“I am personally very interested in this,” said Grindon. “I wasn’t exactly sure what I would be getting out of it other than knowing that it was SJP and therefore another perspective on this issue that I haven’t been as exposed to before. I have been actively seeking out the other side of the story.”

Weinberg sophomore Jacqueline Torres chimed in, noting how she found it refreshing to hear the story from a new point of view.

“I’m originally from L.A., so all I ever heard was pro-Israel. But here, all of a sudden it’s pro-Palestine, and now you’re hearing a lot more from the other side,” Torres said. “Listening to the examples (Abunimah) used that you really don’t think about was just really interesting.”

took place in public community centers. Dugan said these buyback events, which previously took place on specific days throughout the year, were replaced because the 24/7 program allowed residents to immediately get rid of unwanted guns, instead of waiting until an event took place.

Ald. Delores Holmes (5th) said violence reduction

strategies have been an ongoing process for years. Like those that came before it, this violence reduction program based out of the police department cannot solve all of Evanston’s crime issues.

“Hopefully there will be more initiatives to address and get control of the violence,” she said. “The violence is not acceptable, and the program is not enough, but it is a start.”

Football

Is a lack of national TV hurting NU’s recruiting?

By BEN POPE

the daily northwestern @benpope111

Northwestern stars in one of college football’s biggest matchups this weekend.

Due to an inexplicable quirk in TV programming, however, almost half of the country — including potentially interested recruits — won’t be able to watch it.

And that hurts the program far more than one might expect.

The Big Ten has a “first tier” contract with the ESPN family of networks (which includes ABC, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPNews) through the end of next season, giving ESPN the right to televise any Big Ten football games it wishes. That contract is followed by a “second tier” deal with Big Ten Network, a joint venture between FOX and the conference itself, which televises essentially all in-conference and home non-conference games not picked up by ESPN. This weekend, college football fans nationwide will be able to take in marquee Big Ten matchups No. 12 Michigan at Penn State and No. 9 Michigan State at No. 3 Ohio State on ABC, as well as Purdue at No. 5 Iowa on ESPN2 and Illinois at Minnesota on ESPNews. But some of them won’t be able to see No. 20 Northwestern (8-2, 4-2) at No. 25 Wisconsin (8-2, 5-1) — despite it being one of just six games all day pitting two ranked teams against each other — which dropped down to a BTN-only broadcast.

ABC reaches roughly 113 million households around the country. ESPN and ESPN2 both reach roughly 94 million. ESPNU reaches 73 million while ESPNews reaches 71 million. But BTN only reaches about 60 million (and that was number was significantly lower just a few years ago), primarily in the 11 states which house Big Ten universities.

Saturday’s game will be NU’s sixth regional broadcast in 11 games this year, with their five national broadcasts exceeding that of only two of the conference’s other 13 teams. Meanwhile, 2-8 Maryland has been nationally televised six times, and 2-8 Purdue and 4-6 Minnesota will have graced televisions from coast to coast seven times each after this weekend.

The trend isn’t new, either. From the start of 2010 until now, NU ranks 10th in the Big Ten in average national broadcasts (5.5 per year) despite ranking 8th with a .571 winning percentage over that time period. Illinois, for comparison, is 8th in national TV coverage (6.0 per year) but 11th in winning percentage. Assuming that success should

directly equate to more national broadcasts and based on the data for the rest of the conference, the Cats should be on national TV almost seven times per season.

But besides being a bummer for an enthusiastic alumnus living in Atlanta, the disproportion may have a legitimately detrimental effect

FACEBOOK thedailynorthwestern

on NU’s entire football program. Indeed, based on a multiple regression analysis using 247Sports’ recruiting class evaluations over the same time period (excluding the incomplete coming-in-2016 class), national television exposure is a statistically significant predictor of recruiting class ranking while six-year winning percentage is not. Just one additional game on national television per year predicts an increase in average recruiting ranking of more than one standard deviation from the Big Ten mean. In the Big Ten, frequent national television exposure correlates more strongly to good recruiting classes than does winning.

In other words, being on national television matters.

NU’s recruiting classes have averaged a 170.77 rating, 10th-best in the conference. Theoretically, if the team had received the amount of national broadcasts that their on-field success equated to, their recruiting classes should have averaged a 195.0 rating — sixth-best in the conference.

Interestingly, NU has actually performed very well — at least from a ratings perspective — when fortunate enough to be televised nationally.

On the 17 occasions that has happened over the past three seasons, NU’s game has been the most-watched game on that channel all day seven times and drawn more viewers than at least one channel with a broader household reach at the same time slot six times (a should-be anomaly that networks prioritize games to try to avoid).

In this season alone, the win over Stanford was the most-watched game on cable in all of college football’s opening weekend. The win over Nebraska on ESPN2, moreover, drew more viewers than the simultaneous ESPN game. And the win over Penn State on ESPNU drew more viewers than the simultaneous ESPN2 game.

With the Big Ten’s contract with ESPN expiring after just one more season, FOX is expected to enter the fray as a potential bidder for the conference’s future football rights. FOX’s flagship sports channel, FS1, reaches about nine million fewer households nationwide than do ESPN and ESPN2.

NU might be willing to accept that downside, however, if it equates to national camera crews visiting Evanston a couple more times per year. benjaminpope2019@u.northwestern.edu

Men’s Basketball

Northwestern to face stiff test in Columbia

By GARRETT JOCHNAU

the daily northwestern @garrettjochnau2019

After surviving a late push by Fairfield on Wednesday night, Northwestern will look to carry that momentum into Friday’s home contest against Columbia.

Despite their record, the Wildcats (2-0) have encountered various challenges thus far. As it prepares to host the Lions, (1-1) the team is aware that the trial ahead will be its most difficult to date.

“Everybody’s going to be thinking about what we have in Kansas City,” coach Chris Collins said after Wednesday’s game, referencing Monday’s upcoming contest against ACC powerhouse North Carolina. “But really, when the schedule came out, I knew this game on Friday … was going to be a huge test for us.”

The Cats will enter the matchup on limited rest and with just one day off to address the issues that arose in their seven-point victory over Fairfield.

Freshman forward Aaron Falzon spearheaded a perimeter shooting clinic in the opening half while the team struggled to get the ball inside.

But Fairfield climbed back with an 18-4 run in the second half to keep NU’s starters on the floor.

“Teams are going to make runs,” sophomore guard Bryant McIntosh said after keeping NU on top down the stretch. “This was a game of runs.

We just have to fight. The game is never over.”

Through two games, the Cats have seen two players truly dominate. In their opener, senior center Alex Olah, who scored 21 points, was the focal point of the team’s offense. Against a team with limited size, seemingly every possession ended with the ball in the post.

But the team struggled to funnel it to Olah against Fairfield, and McIntosh — who finished with 20 points, including 14 in his masterful second half — put the team on his back.

The sophomore will be key on Friday, with Columbia’s 7-foot-1 starting center Conor Voss

Columbia vs. Northwestern Evanston, Illinois 7 p.m. Friday

threatening to take away Olah’s size advantage.

To further intensify McIntosh’s upcoming burden, he’ll match up against Maodo Lo, one of the top mid-major point guards in college basketball. “(Columbia is) a team that most likely will be in the NCAA tournament,” Collins said. “They have a kid who many people feel is the best player in the Ivy League since Jeremy Lin.” Junior forward Sanjay Lumpkin also recognized Lo when addressing areas that need improvement.

Lumpkin mentioned the team’s need to tighten its defense against the pick and roll, which Fairfield executed well and which Columbia also threatens with Lo leading the charge.

“Our defense and toughness has to get better before Friday,” he said. “They’ve got a great guard.”

However, that’s not to suggest that NU will be an underdog against Columbia. The Cats are undefeated, have seen great play from Falzon, Olah and McIntosh, and showed great resilience twice — rebounding from a rough start in the opener against UMass Lowell to win handily and then fighting off Fairfield’s run on Wednesday.

On top of that, senior guard Tre Demps has yet to emerge this season and will add a new layer to NU’s offense when he does.

“We’ve got to get Tre going,” Collins said. “And hopefully Friday will be the night for him to break out.”

But when Columbia takes the Cats’ home floor, nothing will come easy.

To win, NU is going to have to prove itself as the fringe tournament team that many predicted it to be before the season.

“The team coming in here is a high-level team, and one that we’re going to have to play really well to beat,” Collins said. garrettjochnau2019@u.northwestern.edu

Wildcats stay perfect to start season

Northwestern blows away Idaho State for second consecutive victory

By BEN POPE

the daily northwestern @benpope111

Northwestern held Idaho State to below 27 percent shooting from the field in its best defensive performance in almost a year as it cruised to a 72-36 win at Welsh-Ryan Arena on Thursday night.

Allowing their fewest points since topping Loyola 70-33 on Dec. 7 last season, the Wildcats (2-0) rode balance to success on both ends of the court. Eleven different players recorded either at least one point or rebound on the box score.

“We’re really trying to focus on keeping our intensity up and … being really aggressive on the defensive end,” junior forward Nia Coffey said.

Coffey, on a night in which she was honored before tip-off for scoring her 1,000th career point this past Sunday, scored 16 points and tied a career high with 18 rebounds as NU dominated the Bengals (1-1) 53-37 on the boards.

But Coffey was also aided by standout showings by a number of her teammates.

Senior guard Maggie Lyon led the team with 18 points. Sophomore guard Maya Jonas and freshman forward Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah both came off the bench to record nine and six rebounds, respectively,

making their presences felt in the paint.

And junior guard Ashley Deary hounded Idaho State all game long, recording 17 points, seven steals — her most since last season’s opening game — and five rebounds despite often being the shortest player on the court.

“She has great basketball instincts, she anticipates where the ball is coming and she runs down long rebounds,” coach Joe McKeown said of Deary. “Ashley showed why … at times she can dominate a game.”

The 5-foot-4 guard sparked a run of 15 unanswered points to help the Cats leap to an early 18-3 edge, hitting a 3-pointer to go along with two assists and a steal within an 80-second span in the game’s opening five minutes.

NU led 20-5 after a first quarter in which Idaho State made just one field goal in 13 attempts. That lead extended to 34-16 by halftime as Lyon added 7 points in the second frame.

From the 9:23 to the 4:22 mark of the third quarter, NU’s defense held the Bengals without a single point

DEFENSE IS THE BEST OFFENSE Ashley Deary sprints up court for a layup. The junior guard paced the Cats’ defensive effort as usual as she collected seven steals in the 36-point win.

and stretched the lead to a fully decisive 28-point margin. McKeown shuffled around playing time during the remainder of the out-of-reach contest.

A 3-pointer by Idaho State’s Isabel Vara de Rey was not only the Bengals’ first converted attempt from behind the arc — they were 0-for-14 until that point — but also the first 3-pointer the Cats have allowed this

season, ending a streak of 32 consecutive tries that their opponents had missed to start the season.

McKeown was less pleased with the offensive performance, saying that they must play in “less of a hurry.” NU’s shooting efficiency dropped from 50.7 percent in its first game, down to 38.4 percent Thursday.

He quickly added, however, that

the thorough defensive performance will allow the team to focus on areas that need more important in the coming weeks.

“We’ve been focusing so much on defense, I think over the next two or three weeks our offense will get better (and) our shooting will get better,” McKeown said. benjaminpope2019@u.northwestern.edu

Defense forces 23 turnovers, smothers opposition to key 36-point win

By BENJY APELBAUM

the daily northwestern @benjyapelbaum

Northwestern’s defensive tenacity disrupted Idaho State’s offensive rhythm Thursday and the Wildcats were able to take advantage of turnovers to create chances on the offensive end.

Paced by the quick hands of junior guards Ashley Deary and Christen Inman, who forced seven and two steals, respectively, NU (2-0) forced

23 turnovers as team against an overmatched Idaho State (1-1) to help give the Cats a 72-36 win, its second of the season. It was the fewest points NU has allowed since Dec. 7, 2014.

NU attacked from the start, with Deary forcing two steals in the opening minutes. On the second one, she stripped an Idaho State player of the ball and quickly spun around and wove a long pass through two Bengals defenders to an open Inman for an easy layup.

The play contributed 2 of the 23 fast break points for the Cats was a

part of a 15-0 NU run during the first quarter that put the team ahead 18-3. The Bengals were never able to recover from this deficit to make the game close.

Senior guard Maggie Lyon discussed the importance of the swarming early-game defense.

“I think just getting out early, pressuring on defense … fuels our defensive effort,” Lyon said.

Inman was assigned to guard the Bengal’s leading scorer, Apiphany Woods, who averaged 15.5 points per game this past year. Inman held

Woods, last year’s Big Sky Conference Newcomer of the Year, to just 8 points.

“I think Ashley and Inman did a great job on their guards today, Inman shutting down their best player,” Lyon said.

Offensively, the game was not pretty for the Cats, who shot just 38.4 percent from the field and 29.2 percent from three.

Forcing turnovers helped provide offensive fuel for NU, who scored 23 points off turnovers. The significance of turnovers was most obvious in the

second quarter, when the Cats only forced 4 turnovers and had their worst offensive quarter of the game with only 14 points.

But while the offense struggled at times, coach Joe McKeown praised NU’s consistent defensive effort.

“I thought we did a really good job defensively; I liked our effort,” McKeown. “That’s what we’re preaching between now and when we start the Big Ten — just get better on defense every day.” benjaminapelbaum2019@u.northwestern.edu

Freshmen shine for Wildcats in NCAA Tournament

By MAX SCHUMAN

In college sports, the biggest moments are supposed to belong to the most experienced players.

And yet, when Northwestern (145-2, 7-3-1 Big Ten) squares off against No. 4 West Virginia (17-2-1, 6-0-1 Big 12) Friday at 5 p.m. in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, it will know that its trio of freshmen starters have proven ready for the pressure of the postseason.

The Wildcats’ 1-0 first round victory over Washington State was a showcase game for NU’s youngest players.

Freshman midfielder Marisa Viggiano was a driving force behind the Cats’ winning goal, picking out the run of sophomore forward Michelle Manning with a picture-perfect ball that led to the double-overtime winner.

That NU even got to that point was a testament to the work of freshmen center backs Kayla Sharples and Hannah Davison in keeping the Cougars off the board. Sharples was seemingly everywhere, intercepting passes and making key tackles all over the pitch, while Davison made several critical plays of her own to prevent Washington State chances.

Ordinary freshmen making their first postseason starts generally don’t land key victories, but coach Michael Moynihan said his freshmen aren’t as inexperienced as they might seem.

“We have a lot of kids with some pretty high-level experience at the club level, so I think that’s helped us,” he said. “We have a lot of kids with a lot of fight in them.”

And given their level of play all season, the performance of the Cats’ freshmen in their first NCAA Tournament game is no surprise.

Sharples and Davison have anchored this year’s stout NU defense, while Viggiano’s work rate in the midfield has helped fill gaps on both ends of the field. All three have played key roles in what has been a tremendous defensive effort all season, with the Cats surrendering just .503 goals per game, the eighth-best mark in the country.

Observers around the conference thought highly of NU’s freshmen as well, with both Viggiano and Sharples representing the Cats on the All-Big

Ten freshman team.

The play of NU’s freshmen has helped set lofty expectations for the team this season, and Davison said she’s really enjoyed the experience of playing at such a high level so early in her career.

“Hearing how it was before and being able to be a part of this growing program, it’s been amazing,” Davison said. “I definitely made the right choice.”

It will take great play from the freshmen, plus a host of other great performances, for the Cats to knock off title contender West Virginia in Mountaineers territory. West Virginia is the only team in the nation to rank in both the top five in goals scored and allowed per game.

After contributing to the deciding goal of NU’s first-round victory, Viggiano knows the Cats will need to be decisive in the final third to stand a chance.

“We just have to keep playing like we have been,” she said. “Taking people on one-v-one when we have the opportunities and just finishing when we have those chances in front of the goal.”

Moynihan said his team will need to maintain some possession and string passes together when it sees the ball.

RISING TO THE CHALLENGE Freshman midfielder Marisa Viggiano takes on a defender. Viggiano, one of three freshman starters for Northwestern, will be counted on to play a key role as the Wildcats look to upset No. 4 West Virginia in the NCAA Tournament.

If it can’t, an athletic Mountaineers attack will put NU’s defense under heavy pressure all game.

That would thrust the Cats’ freshmen back into the spotlight, but Davison said she’s confident they’ll be up for the challenge like they have been

all season.

“They have a lot more athletic forwards, but I think we’re all feeling really good about it,” she said. “We’re really well prepared.” maxschuman2018@u.northwestern.edu
