1st SU ombuds details experience By Kennedy Rose news editor

Neal Powless, a three-time All-American lacrosse player, plans to use his experiences as a coach and a father to inform his work as Syracuse University’s first ombudsperson. Powless is a father of four and coach to the Dutch national lacrosse POWLESS team. He now mediates conflicts between graduate students, faculty and staff through his new position in Syracuse University’s Office of University Ombuds. The role of the ombuds is to provide neutral, independent and confidential conflict resolution, but the office could also be used as a resource for any student, staff or faculty member who has a problem, see ombuds page 4

2nd DCC director candidate speaks at library By Patrick Linehan staff writer

Stephanie Woodward, a candidate for the Disability Cultural Center director position, spoke about her experiences with disability Wednesday during a forum at Bird Library. Woodward, an SU College of Law alumna, is currently the director of advocacy at the Center for Disability Rights in Rochester. She is one of three candidates for director of the DCC. The position opened after former director Diane Wiener accepted a new role at SU’s Burton Blatt Institute. Office of Multicultural Affairs Associate Director Huey Hsiao is currently serving as interim director of the center. Woodward was the second director candidate to participate in a forum at SU this week. Woodward said she pushed

for SU’s dean to put a wheelchair accessible ramp where the stairs were traditionally situated during her graduation ceremony. The dean wanted to put the ramp at the back of the stage, she said. She said unplowed sidewalks around the university limited her ability to grab a bite on Marshall Street or stay up late studying when she was a student. “I had to deal with snowy sidewalks and deans who preferred stairs,” Woodward said to the audience Wednesday. “I want to know what you deal with.” Candidates for the director position were asked to speak about disability culture during their presentations. In addition to the presentations, which included time for questions, candidates met privately with students and faculty members on campus.

Woodward said she cannot define disability culture because it’s different for everyone. She said disability is very different for a cisgender white man than it is for a transgender Puerto Rican woman. She also said she wants to empower people with disabilities to be able to demand that their rights are respected by the university. “We don’t live in a utopia where just because you have rights that means they’re respected,” Woodward said. “And I won’t pretend that this campus is a utopia just to protect an institution that signs my paycheck.” SU has taken students’ opinions into account in recent years, Woodward said. While she was a law student at SU, she lobbied the school to install a ramp on Irving Avenue, in between the College of Law building and the parking garage next to it, she said.

The plans to install a staircase were eventually scrapped and a long, winding ramp now exists there, she said, adding that there’s still more work to be done to make sure that SU is truly accessible. “I would be proud, if I were chosen as the Disability Cultural Center director, to help achieve that goal of achieving full integration (and) participation of people with disabilities on the Syracuse University campus,” Woodward said. Candidate Kathy O’Connell, a DCC director candidate and licensed mental health counselor, spoke about ableism and her decision to continue collaboration between the DCC and other campus cultural centers on Tuesday. Elizabeth Sierra, another candidate, will give a presentation Thursday at 11 a.m. in Bird Library. pjlineha@syr.edu

Syracuse to seek water main repairs By Casey Darnell asst. news editor

The city of Syracuse is planning to apply for $1.3 million in additional grant money from New York state for infrastructure improvements on two streets. Syracuse originally requested $6.7 million from the state in 2016 for its Dig Once Infrastructure Improvement Project. At Wednesday’s meeting, city councilors discussed the proposed grant request. The funds would be used to replace water and sewer mains on North Beech Street and Butternut Street. The city estimated that construction on both streets will start in summer 2019 and finish in fall 2020, according to the council’s agenda. New York state will reimburse the city for all costs related to Dig Once, including the North Beech Street and Butternut Street projects. The funds will come from the see funding page 6

Senators demand access to late-night events By Richard J. Chang staff writer

Senators of the Syracuse University’s Graduate Student Organization expressed frustration with the availability of tickets to Orange After Dark events at a Wednesday meeting. Underg raduate st udents can purchase tickets for events beginning two weeks in advance, but graduate students can only buy tickets the day of the event. Senators said many events are sold out before graduate students are allowed to purchase tickets for them. Courtney Jones, associate direc-

tor of the Office of Student Activities, said undergraduate students receive priority for buying tickets because the undergraduate Student Association partly funds Orange After Dark. A Senate member asked if GSO could start funding grants for Orange After Dark so graduate students can have the same benefits for events as undergraduates. Jones said Orange After Dark was created mainly to provide opportunities for the undergraduate student body. The Office of Student Activities does not currently need more funding for events, she added. The Division of Student Affairs

created Orange After Dark to occupy students with activities on and off campus during Friday and weekend nights, Jones said. GSO President Jack Wilson said the window has closed for funding Orange After Dark and discussion on the topic will have to take place next year.

ombuds he said. That problem could be a misunderstanding about a grade, a peer-to-peer issue or sending a professional email. Patience and listening are the most important traits to have as an ombuds and a parent, he said. Having a son with a disability has taught Powless to remain patient, calm and understanding, as well as how to incorporate inclusive thinking into his work. Coaching prepared him to help people of different backgrounds and personalities work toward a common goal, Powless said. He has also worked with indigenous healers to understand how human emotion is connected to behavior. “Everyone who walks in this door has just as an important voice as everyone else that walks in the door,� Powless said. “It doesn’t matter what their title is. I’m going to give them my ear and my full attention.� The office has an informal structure, and confidentiality is of the utmost importance, Powless said. If a person wants to come in and only talk, he said he will listen and provide possible solutions. “There’s always choice and there’s always option,� he said. Powless was hired as the ombuds in January. But he’s worked at SU for years. He has been involved at the university since 2004, starting when he was a graduate student studying school counseling.

žÇšÉ“ȾȽưĆŒɲ FơƨŮ?‍×?×?Ú˜â€Ź

Since then, Powless has worked as a university career counselor and the assistant director of the Native Student Program. He now studies indigenous imagery as a doctorate student in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. Born and raised in the Onondaga Nation, Powless’ native name means “His voice is heard among the people and he brings a message.� “I get the unique opportunity to be an ear to the people,� Powless said. “And that means living to my name to bring a message, to bring an understanding of the patterns of what’s going on at the university.� The Office of University Ombuds was established last year following recommendations from the University Senate Committee on Women’s Concerns and the Chancellor’s Workgroup on Diversity and Inclusion. Samuel Clemence, the office’s former interim director, said in December that the office had received more than 60 cases since February 2018. Powless, when asked by The Daily Orange, did not say how many people have sought help from the office since he took over as director. The office currently only employs Powless and one support staffer, he said, but that could change in the future, if SU sees fit. “It’s an evolution,� Powless said. “And the beauty of being the first is that I get to design what the office will become in accordance with the International Ombuds Association criteria, while at the same time making it uniquely Syracuse.� krose100@syr.edu | @KennedyRose001

Hire Ground initiative to benefit city

I

n Onondaga County, there are reported 425 single adults in homeless shelters. That’s 425 too many. The new Syracuse Hire Ground initiative could soon help lower that number. Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh and Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon recently announced the initiative to help homeless individuals get off the streets. McMahon has said he wants to stop criminalizing homelessness. The Hire Ground initiative will offer panhandlers $50 for a day of work. Jobs in the program range from cleaning up streets to picking up trash in community parks. This initiative not only helps homeless people, but also helps keep our city clean.

Professor Nicholas Blomley, an expert on legal relations of marginalized and oppressed people at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, agreed.

Students should look to New York for tech jobs

N

ew York is finally giving Silicon Valley a run for its money. The Savills Tech Cities Index, a report by real estate firm Savills plc, ranked New York City as the premier tech city — surpassing San Francisco and London. Looks like Syracuse University students don’t need to escape to northern California for a job in the technology sector. The report looks at 30 cities around the world and uses metrics such as inward venture capital investment to determine which cities are at the forefront of global technology. “New York City has reinvented itself repeatedly over the course of its history. An economy as rich, diverse and dynamic as New York’s can transform itself into almost anything that is economically relevant,� said Jeff Furman, professor of strategy and innovation at Boston University. Silicon Valley’s economy is dominated by the technology sector, but in New York there are a wide array of industries that are all in demand for more tech workers. New York City alone has seen the establishment of more than 7,000 startups, per The New York Post. This means there are opportunities to work in both small and large companies. “Corporate conglomerates are actually rich places for entrepreneurs because it results in a lot of spin-off companies. Those

types of firms typically attract individuals, train them and equip them with the managerial skills required to lead their own ventures,� Furman said. It’s important to acknowledge that the Savills plc report offers the perspective of emerging technology cities. Silicon Valley still remains ahead of New York in terms of the number of start-ups, as well as the amount of venture capital raised there. But, New York is the best place for SU students interested in a job in tech because of the rapid growth the city is witnessing. And, the reputation and network of alumni doesn’t hurt, either. Jason Dedrick, a professor at SU’s School of Information Studies, said “New York is a more natural place for SU students to look for jobs. Employers in New York City know Syracuse, and there is a lot more depth in the job market.� One thing’s clear: New York remains a clear choice for any SU student looking for a wide array of job opportunities, especially in technology.

Palette of passion Amiah Crisler aims to inspire Syracuse through her art, activism

Ï is a student at Edward Smith K-8 School in Syracuse who is well known for her artwork. Five of Crisler’s pieces are featured at the Paine Branch Library this month, with a live painting demonstration Saturday, Story by Vivian Whitney contributing writer

A

t 11 years old, artist Amiah Crisler has found her voice early in life. She’s spoken at the 2019 Women’s March Syracuse, received Syracuse University’s Unsung Hero Award and will have her artwork honored in a downtown mural. But for Crisler, all the public attention comes second to her love for creating art. Her favorite part about being a recognized artist, she said, is helping others discover their own passions. “When they’re inspired, I’m inspired,� Crisler said. Now, her paintings are on dis-

play at the Paine Branch Library. The library is exhibiting five of her pieces throughout February and will host “An Afternoon With Artsy Amiah� on Feb. 23. Here, she will do a live painting demonstration accompanied by a chalk art contest. Later this year, one of her pieces will be installed as a mural at the Warren Street Garage. Adjacent from a dog park, Crisler’s mural, “Lemp Park Pet Forest,� will depict colorful dogs and flowers in a bright forest of trees. Crisler was first launched into the local spotlight for her artistic talents when a video of her sidewalk chalk went viral. The artwork — a colorful, abstract picture of a dog named Sherbert — earned her the People’s Choice Award and first place in her age division at the Syracuse New Times 28th Annual Street Painting Festival.

Crisler’s parents, Shaun and Kelly, aim to foster a supportive environment for Crisler and her sister, Aubrey. While the public attention surrounding Crisler’s work has been a compliment, her father said, it wasn’t the original goal. The most important thing, he said, is for Crisler to have the resources to grow as an artist at home. Crisler started exploring her craft at three years old. Her mother introduced her to new artistic mediums and later on, she enrolled Crisler in different art classes, allowing her to further explore different creative avenues. Having her work recognized, Shaun said, gives Crisler the opportunity to see where her dedication and focus can lead. “She’s just a very bright, inquisitive kid that is not afraid see crisler page 8

Crisler has a studio at home, where she works on her paintings and drawings.

Black Panther Party member, activists to speak at ArtRage By Victoria Decoster staff writer

With the rise of political activist groups like Black Lives Matter, ArtRage Gallery is looking to foster dialogues surrounding how the Black Panther Party’s influence is still felt more than 50 years after its creation. The Black Panther Party, established in the United States in the 1960s, was created largely in part to challenge systemic police brutality within black neighborhoods and communities.

ArtRage Gallery will host “From Panther 21 to 21st Century Revolutions,â€? featuring guest speakers, on Saturday from 6-9 p.m. at their studio location on Hawley Avenue. The guest panel will consist of three speakers from New York City: Sekou Odinga, dĂŠqui kioni-sadiki and Matt Meyer. The three will discuss the trajectory of the Black Panther Party to present-day social and political activism, according to ArtRage Gallery’s website. Their book, “Look for Me in the Whirlwind: From the Panther 21 to 21st-Century

Revolutions,� will be available for purchase and signing at the event. The gallery emphasizes art through the lens of social and political justice, focusing on inclusion and the breaking down of barriers. “That’s been the mission from the beginning,� said Kimberley McCoy, the community engagement organizer at ArtRage. “It’s important to help foster those conversations and create safe spaces for people to come and learn from each other.� Odinga is an original member of the Black Panther Party’s Harlem

Chapter who has continually advocated on behalf of political prisoners of war. kioni-sadiki, a black feminist, educator and chair of the Malcolm X Commemoration Committee, is a human rights activist who works to raise public awareness of political imprisonment in the United States. “Most people in this country don’t know that political prisoners exist,� said kioni-sadiki. “More than anything, we’re taught the mythology of U.S. history and the distortions.� The third speaker, Meyer, is a senior research scholar at the Uni-

versity of Massachusetts Amherst’s resistance studies initiative with a mission to bridge activism and academics. A published author, his work includes the two-volume Pan African peacebuilding series, featuring 2008’s “Seeds of Hope.� In recent years, his work has focused on racism and militarization within the United States. Another event with Odinga, dequi and Meyers will take place at SUNY Oswego on Thursday from 3-5 p.m. in the Marano Campus Center. The open see artrage page 8

Human rights advocate to speak at Syracuse Symposium By Sarah Slavin copy chief

When Adela Licona asked her friends to send her photos of them as children, the purpose was beyond collecting old memories. The University of Arizona associate professor of English has built the photos into a project about the separation of children and their families at the United States-Mexico border. On Friday, Licona will speak as part of the Syracuse Symposium in Maxwell Auditorium at 5:30 p.m. Her keynote will discuss her project, “TENDER R/AGE:: R ABIA TIERNA” which addresses the U.S.-Mexico border and the “injustices and human rights violations” that have occurred there, recently. Vivian May, director of the Humanities Center and a professor of women’s and gender studies, said Licona’s speech is part of the this year’s Symposium’s theme, “Stories.” May said the keynote speeches are lined up a year in advance — and Licona was not originally on the list. “But then the world takes place in from page 7

crisler to experiment with things, and I think that’s where she gets her — I don’t know, that creative spark,” said Mary Mahan, Crisler’s art teacher at Edward Smith K-8 School. “It’s her willingness to try new things, wanting to try new things and loving to create.” Alexus Martin, the public service and technology librarian assistant at Paine Branch Library, also recognizes Crisler’s promising talent. After seeing Crisler’s artwork on Instagram, Martin knew she wanted to have Crisler’s art displayed at the library so the community could be inspired by her work. Martin said she wanted to feature a young person in the Syracuse community. While it’s meaningful to honor figures like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr., she said, it’s also from page 7

artrage forum discussion will present the same theme as ArtRage, and include topics such as the connections and disconnections between historical and present-day social movements and the roles minority women and the LGBTQ community play, according to SUNY Oswego’s website. “The biggest thing that I hope guests will take away from this event are ways that we can

between,” May said. May’s plans shifted after “the summer happened,” she said, in reference to children and families being separated at the southern border and children dying there. She thought it was necessary to discuss complicated political issues such as migrant rights, refugee rights and immigration. May said Licona was the best person to have this conversation with Syracuse University. “Whether we’re citizens or not, we’re in this space, of this country, I think we need to think about what the government is doing in our name of citizens,” May said. In her speech, Licona will discuss how her project aims to communicate that “we are all living in the shadow of the cages that have held, and are holding, children separated from their parents or guardians at and well beyond the border,” she said in an email. Her work “TENDER R/AGE” is a play on “Tender Age” — the name the federal government gave to the facilities that held children detained at the southern border. Licona’s work involves cutouts of children

blown up to life size, which May used to highlight children’s faces, since people don’t usually see the children who are detained. Licona calls it a “participatory project,” inspired by people she’s met and who are using “their own tender hearts and bright minds in the service of social justice.” In what Licona describes as her “call to action,” she plans to create dialogue about the modern injustices of immigration in the U.S. To her, college campuses are the perfect places to discuss human rights violations — she has also explored how this topic relates to the Syracuse community. “I am very interested in the ways local communities are being allies to migrants and asylum seekers, and hope to learn from people in local Syracuse communities about their local efforts and concerns,” she said. May agrees that the topic is closely related to Syracuse. She said that, while Syracuse is far from the southern border, it’s in the 100mile northern border zone where ICE can question people’s citizenship. ICE frequently conducts farm raids in

Syracuse and people have no idea, May said. She added that most people only think about the southern border and not how immigration affects their own communities. “If we dig a little bit and care to know our histories of our families, and our neighbors, and our teachers and our friends, it’s a lot more widespread than people recognize,” May said. She added that the purpose of the Symposium is to engage the public in thinking about why the humanities are essential. Theo Cateforis, an associate professor of music history and cultures, echoed this statement. He hosted and moderated a conversation with Anthony DeCurtis, a contributing editor for Rolling Stone, on Feb. 19 in Bird Library. “It’s not aimed at one specific audience, there’s enough events of different character type that really reflects the diversity of the campus,” Cateforis said. Licona will also host a workshop Friday in Tolley Humanities Building entitled, “RELATE: A Workshop on Engaged Scholarship,” which starts at 10 a.m.

important to recognize those making a difference in the world today. “Not that those people aren’t important, but also showing that there are people that are contributing to black history even today. And Amiah’s one of those people,” Martin said. Martin sees Crisler’s artwork being displayed in the library as an opportunity to bring the community together by recognizing young talent in the Syracuse City School District. “Representation matters. You can’t be what you can’t see,” Martin said. For her father, introducing Crisler to important role models is essential to fostering her creativity at home. One source of inspiration for Crisler is her book “Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History.” “I like to look at what they’ve done in history and what they’ve all overcome,” Crisler said. Shaun used the book to spark a dialogue

about the women who came before Crisler and possibilities of what she can aspire to be. While reading the book together, Shaun encouraged her to pick role models who resonated with her. Together, the two wrote Crisler’s speech she delivered at the 2019 Women’s March Syracuse. Just as people like Maya Angelou and Harriet Tubman inspired Crisler to follow her own dreams, she hopes her work will do the same for others. “Sometimes, women’s voices are not being heard, and I think that I can make a difference with that,” said Crisler, acknowledging the importance of incorporating social activism into her art. Art is at the root of Crisler’s activism. She loves expressing her emotions through the different strokes, textures and colors she uses. “It’s what makes me happy, and I put my feelings and thoughts into it,” she said. Having

explored acrylics, oil paints and pottery, she’s now trying to learn more about watercolors. In the future, Crisler said she hopes to open her own art store, called Artsy Things, so that other kids can explore their creative talents. She plans for the store to have coding and painting classes and sell art supplies and activity books for kids to bring home so they too can discover art and what they want to do. Crisler said she wants people to know that they should pursue their natural talents, since you never know what good things could come from them. She wants to continue making arts because not only does it bring her joy, but it inspires others. “Not a lot of people do the things they like or they don’t have time for it,” she said. “You can always incorporate the things that you like into what you do.”

support each other in fighting for equality and fighting for justice and fighting for humanity together,” said Latoya Lee, assistant professor at SUNY Oswego and a main organizer of the two events. kioni-sadiki said when people study the Black Panther Party’s Ten-Point Program, they will see that the group dealt with issues of injustice that are present today — including conversations happening in the Black Lives Matter and Me Too movements.

The Ten-Point Program is a set of guidelines created by the Black Panther Party’s founding members, addressing issues such as freedom, equal employment and housing opportunities and the “immediate end to police brutality and murder of Black people,” among others. These speaking events aim to build awareness for political prisoners, kionisadiki said, by educating the public on the history of movements, why they came about

and how the government worked to defeat and crush those revolutionary movements of the ‘60s and ‘70s. “The Black Panther Party was able to galvanize young people and help them see not only that change only happens when you work for it, but that it was their responsibility to do it,” kioni-sadiki. “That is the aim now to inspire a nation of young people to get involved in changing their life conditions.”

Confronting history Department of drama sheds light on lack of knowledge about Herero genocide

By Mary Kate Tramontano contributing writer

T

he Herero genocide is considered one of the first genocides of the 20th century, yet the event is rarely discussed. The show, “We Are Proud To Present a Presentation About the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as Southwest Africa, From the German SĂźdwestafrika, Between the Years 1884–1915â€? (often shortened to “We Are Proud to Present‌â€?) written by Jackie Sibblies Drury, is determined to change that. Syracuse University’s Department of Drama’s production of “We Are Proud to Present‌,â€? directed by Gilbert McCauley, follows six actors who come together in a rehearsal room to tell the story of the Herero genocide, at the hands of German colonizers. The production, performed at the Syracuse Stage/Drama Theater Complex, opens Saturday. In the show, history is introduced by its actors in the form of a presentation that’s meant to tell the story of the Herero people, as well as show how different players respond to the events ensuing. The performance’s structure differs from that of a typical play. Amanda McCormick, who plays Actor 5/Sarah, said the show takes place in three worlds: “the process of creating the presentation, the presentation itself and a mixture of the two labeled ‘processtation.’â€? The unusual structure takes the audience on a ride through these three worlds, McCormick said, by going through the history of the genocide while showing how the actors struggle with that responsibility of telling that story. German colonization of Africa began in the late 17th century and continued through the 1900s. In 1883, Germany purchased a stretch of land in South West Africa

that is now known as Namibia. The Herero people who inhabited this land were soon subject to slave labor, forced to give up their land to the colonists. In 1904, the Herero people rose in revolt against the Germans, the result of which was a genocide that led to the murder of 65,000 Hereros. While the show presents information about the historical event, it also discusses the social implications behind it. The content of the presentation is something not taught in American schools — which is often the case with the majority of histories of people of color, said Alison Whitwell, the show’s dramaturg. “In terms of education, the show only begins there,â€? she said. “Where it ends up is more investigation into privilege, empathy, and what ‘whiteness’ and ‘blackness’ means in America.â€? Cast member Alex Giganti said that, with such heavy topics being discussed, putting the production together could be problematic, at times. “Even though the process has been great, the material has been fairly difficult, which we all knew coming into it,â€? Giganti said. “The playwright demands that all of the actors go to very difficult emotional places, which challenges all of us.â€? The purpose of the show, Giganti said, is much more than a history lesson. “We Are Proud To Present‌,â€? Giganti added, offers an opportunity to begin a conversation about why certain stories are not told, as well as who has the right to tell them. “(The show) asks questions of cultural and racial identity, and how Americans navigate telling stories about topics that we haven’t fully come to terms with ourselves,â€? Giganti said. “The play asks us to consider how we can tell stories that we don’t fully understand.â€? mtramont@syr.edu

Gabby Teran’s altered swing hasn’t translated to results By Adam Hillman staff writer

When Syracuse head coach Shannon Doepking first met sophomore Gabby Teran last fall, one of the first things Teran asked her new head coach was how she could improve. Doepking responded that Teran used too much of her hands when she swung, Teran said. Doepking developed a plan for Teran to fix that, part of the coach’s larger idea for SU to blast more home runs. Teran had a .319 batting average as a freshman but still wasn’t satisfied entering the offseason. She spent more time in the weight room, putting on extra muscle in her legs. Teran also tweaked her swing to bring back techniques, like increased lower body movement, that she used before SU at Marist from page 12

cardinals field and just 20 percent from deep. Offensive stagnancy doomed SU. But players turned the time off into an advantage. “I forgot about it as soon as it ended, honestly,” Brissett said of the NCSU loss. Against UofL, instead, the Orange came out firing, and hit shots one after the other. They shot just 38.6 percent, but they won the rebounding battle and limited the Cardinals’ second chances. With five contests left on the slate — three against ranked teams and two on the road — the Orange won’t have an easy road toward wins. “The gauntlet,” as senior point guard Frank Howard put it, has begun in earnest. But the first night of the rest of SU’s season didn’t look anything like a week prior because the Orange’s ability to dominate a Louisville team that once held a 23-point lead on No. 1 Duke shows SU’s progression since its loss at NCSU. It was a night when SU fans felt comfortable enough to put

(Georgia) School. Entering this season, it appeared those changes would pay off. But going into this weekend’s games against Illinois State, Florida A&M and No. 3 Florida, Teran has just three hits in 24 at bats. As Syracuse (2-6) struggles in nonconference play, the team can benefit from improved play from Teran, one of its best hitters in 2018. “I definitely think my hitting has improved,” Teran said. “... I do feel more efficient in my movement.” Early in the fall, Teran and Doepking built a tighter schedule. Instead of laying around her apartment, she’d text her teammates, seeing who wanted to work out with her. When she saw teammates in the locker room, she’d ask if they wanted to go hit. She and Mike Missen, SU’s assistant

strength and conditioning coach, also started to focus more on her form to prevent future injuries. He meticulously watched her squats, correcting her into the right position: knees out wide and back straight. Once she perfected her form, she increased the weight on her shoulders, building more muscle. “If you look at her, she’s jacked,” senior Hannah Dossett said. “She’s put a lot of work in the weight room.” Teran focused the rest of the time on little changes to the structure of her swing. Doepking wanted her to rotate her hips more so she could access the power from her legs, instead of relying on her elbow and arms. To start, Teran did half swings with a resistance band to create tension, allowing her lower half to generate all of the power. Instead of a longer movement, the small swing placed more

pressure on her legs to complete the motion. Once she mastered the technical aspects, Teran hit off a tee. That led to live pitching, which sped up her swing as she prepared for games. Through eight games this season, though, it hasn’t translated into success on the field. Teran is hitting just .125 in SU’s first eight games. In last weekend’s stretch against No. 19 Indiana and Penn State, she went just one for 12. But Teran isn’t fazed. Teammates have praised her faster shoulder-to-hip speed despite the lack of early results. She’s trying to slow down the process on the field, easing her mind to focus on simpler goals. “Going up to the plate with an approach and sticking to that approach,” Teran said. “Not getting anxious with yourself, just staying within yourself.”

on their coats and leave — with five minutes remaining, the Orange up 20. “We knew there was a lot of gaps in their press,” Brissett said, “so we wanted to get the open guys into the middle and down the sideline.” The extra rest benefited Battle and Hughes, whose production had diminished in recent weeks. Hughes averaged 15.2 points per game through SU’s first 19 contests, but just 8.5 points over his last six. He shot 4 for 12 against Louisville. Louisville’s pack-line defense didn’t prevent Syracuse from dribble penetration. While the Orange couldn’t attack Virginia Tech’s similarly up-tight defense, they found crevices against UofL. High ball screens setup openings. Shooters caught passes on the perimeter in rhythm. Hughes was one of several beneficiaries. Behind a remodeled, new-look offense SU commanded a 35-23 halftime lead. SU had hit 8-of-9 free throws and scored six fast-break points Battle scored his 1,540th

career point, surpassing SU associate head coach Adrian Autry to become the program’s 20th-highest scorer of all time. Despite a sluggish start to the second half, the Orange kept plodding along, and the shooting bug that swarmed SU last week kept smacking the Cardinals in the face. Passes through the high post, then to the baseline cutter, were there, but SU had sealed off any room for inside moves when UofL bigs caught the ball near the basket. Out of a Louisville timeout, Battle wasted no time to take a chance. With SU up 10, he gambled and jumped in a passing lane. He intercepted a lazy pass and dunked at the other end, all by himself. Louisville head coach Chris Mack placed his hands on his hips and stared straight ahead. Shortly thereafter, Syracuse pushed its lead back to 17 with a Buddy Boeheim 3. The building rocked. A minute later, Boeheim stepped into a 3 from just off the top of the key. All net. SU’s lead had swelled to 18, and the Orange were well on their way to their fourth win in

their last six games. “We moved the ball well,” Boeheim said. “Marek (Dolezaj) was huge for us on defense. Oshae was playing like he did last year and just got going.” In the postgame locker room last week at NCSU, while Howard was packing his belongings, the room fell quiet. He was one of the last players yet to walk out toward the team bus. He summarized the loss and SU’s state: “You can let a loss like this drag on you and mess up your next two games,” he said, “or you can build on it and come back strong.” Syracuse chose the latter in a double-digit win, an outcome that functioned as a reminder of the type of team the Orange can be. Time and again, Boeheim has emphasized that Syracuse doesn’t need a better plan. He’s echoed several iterations of the phrase, “We have a lot of work to do,” throughout the season, and Wednesday represented the strongest example in recent weeks that SU had done it.

battle left wing, for a 3. Battle drove right before swinging a pass over his head to Buddy on the left side for another deep ball. With Syracuse threatening to end Louisville’s chances, Battle pushed it up the sideline to Hughes for his deafening long ball. “You can’t have one guy to win games,” Battle said. “So when all four or five guys are playing well, in double digits, hustling, running around, trapping, talking, and playing together, it makes us pretty good.” From there, Syracuse just had to handle a 1-2-2 press from the Cardinals, and for the most part, did it with ease. Battle remained the point guard for the rest of the meaningful minutes, not giving Boeheim any reason to change the rotation even against the fullcourt defense. Finally, with the Orange in full control and less than two minutes to go, Battle tossed it to Buddy on the right wing. He knocked down another 3 from Battle, and the SU head coach sent the Syracuse walk-ons to the scorer’s table. “We gotta play like that, gotta keep moving off each other and helping each other out,” Brissett said. In Battle’s mind, he didn’t play a great game offensively. But the stat sheet said differently. wmheyen@syr.edu | @Wheyen3

women’s basketball game — which will air on ESPN2 as a part of its “Big Monday” coverage, the first time women’s basketball will be featured — well after the Duke men’s basketball matchup was sold out. “We want to set an attendance record for the women’s game National TV,” Wildhack said. “Let’s show the nation we’re a great basketball community, not just a great men’s basketball community.” Changing the Carrier Dome floor from a lacrosse field to a basketball court, and vice-versa, is not something out of the ordinary for the Dome facilities staff. The Carrier Dome floor has been changed over 19 times in the past month,

TYUS BATTLE dishes a pass to Oshae Brissett in Syracuse’s 69-49 win over No. 18 Louisville. Battle assisted on seven different Syracuse baskets, adding 11 points of his own. alexandra moreo senior staff photographer

Syracuse Chief Facilities Officer Pete Sala said Tuesday. The process of changing over the floor typically begins immediately after the stands are cleared following an event that uses either the Carrier Dome basketball court or turf field. To set up for basketball, the workers have to cover 87,000 square feet of the Carrier Dome turf field with blue-square floorboards. The floorboards are separated on 175 palettes with each covering about 497 square feet. Workers lay down the palettes and multiple forklifts are used to haul the stands from the West end of the Carrier Dome as a courtside section for basketball games. The actual court is constructed from 15-by-14 rows, or 210 hardwood pieces. With the addition of ESPN’s College GameDay’s attendance at the game, an ESPN feature presentation that travels to campuses around

the country for marquee college basketball and football matchups, the logistics were further complicated. College GameDay brings a production staff of 65 of its own, and will arrive via bus Friday, Sala said. The production will require SU to add a number of different sound, light and camera systems. SU will even add a spider cam, a camera system that enables film and television cameras to move vertically and horizontally over a designated area. The Duke game is the first event in a series of three-straight Carrier Dome changeovers, with SU women’s and men’s lacrosse set to play back-to-back games on Sunday, the Notre Dame women’s basketball matchup on Monday and a women’s lacrosse game on Wednesday. “Pete was a magician at the changeover,”

Gross said. “Flipping the Dome over wasn’t something that was foreign to us at all. That was just how we lived.” While Gross said 2014’s Syracuse-Duke game was one of the most memorable moments of his basketball fandom, Wildhack said his intention with this weekend is to stretch to communities outside of SU. With as many people in the area as there will be, Wildhack imagined the possibilities for shops, restaurants and local businesses. Then, he envisioned the Carrier Dome to be packed Saturday. “You get 35,000 people in Orange. You want to talk about a visual? You want to talk about a memory?” Wildhack asked. “That will be a memory.” mmcclear@syr.edu | @mikejmccleary

How SU prepares for Dome turnovers By Michael McCleary sports editor

GOOD FOR NOW

inally, a fast start. Finally, momentum before intermission. The Carrier Dome roared when Syracuse took a 16-point lead in the first half over a ranked opponent. Everything that didn’t go right last week clicked: ball movement and dribble penetration against Louisville’s pack-line, tight defense. Oshae Brissett’s bounce-back. A balanced offense that was absent a week ago in a blowout loss to unranked-North Carolina State. On Wednesday night at the Carrier Dome, Syracuse played as well as it has in the past four weeks, dictating tempo and forcing the Cardinals to resort to outside shots. No. 18 Louisville (18-9, 9-5 Atlantic Coast) created open 3-pointers. Some were contested. But they shot a dismal 21.4 from deep against the 2-3 zone in SU’s (18-8, 9-4) 69-49 victory, the Orange’s third Top 25 win

of the season. Junior guard Elijah Hughes led SU with 18 points, while Brissett added 16, Buddy Boeheim had 14 and Tyus Battle had 11 in front of 22,988 fans. “Our defense was really good right from the beginning,� SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “I thought we covered their shooters and made them take tough shots inside. At the end of the day, in the middle there, they missed

probably five or six shots that they would normally make. We took advantage of that.� The victory bolsters Syracuse’s NCAA Tournament resume, improving the Orange to 9-4 — their fastest route to nine conference wins in five years. For Syracuse, the first two ranked wins came on the road, at Ohio State and at Duke. The latest came Wednesday night, three days ahead of a rematch against the top-ranked Blue Devils in the Dome. The win over UofL doesn’t lessen the magnitude of the expected record-breaking crowd for Saturday, but it does boost SU’s NCAA Tournament hopes and position in the ACC standings. With a week of rest — “it really helped us,� Boeheim said — SU looked to regroup after a 73-58 loss at North Carolina State, against whom the Orange shot 35 percent from the see cardinals page 10

Battle shines as lead guard in 20-point win By Billy Heyen

senior staff writer

After Wednesday’s win over Louisville, Tyus Battle emphasized multiple times that he “didn’t have the best game offensively.� But he made sure his teammates did. With 7:17 to go in the game, Syracuse broke UofL’s press and Battle flung the ball to Elijah Hughes in the left corner. The sharpshooter knocked down the 3 and stared at the rim for a few seconds as Louisville called a timeout, SU up 18. Battle hadn’t hit the dagger, as he often does, but he’d set it up. “I saw my other guys were going offensively, so I was trying to find them,� Battle said. Battle spent the majority of his

time against No. 18 Louisville (189, 9-5 Atlantic Coast) as a playmaking point guard in Syracuse’s (18-8, 9-4) 69-49 win in the Carrier Dome. He scored 11 points, well below his season average, but dished out seven assists, all to 3-pointers. In all, he contributed to 32 total Orange points. As SU has simplified its offense with Battle spending more time at the point, he’s found ways to have good offensive games even when the shots aren’t falling. “When we’re playing like that, I don’t have to have an amazing game to beat very good teams like Louisville,� Battle said. Even before Frank Howard subbed out for the first time — Syracuse’s senior point guard played

just 11 minutes — Battle set up Oshae Brissett on a swing pass to the left corner for a 3. Battle scored his own seven points early in the game going to pass SU’s associate head coach, Adrian Autry, on the Orange’s career scoring list. But then he became the playmaker. Teams don’t want to give Battle an open lane, he said after the game. That’s what happened in his “Herculean� second half at Boston College when his scoring carried SU to victory. So Louisville, until the very end, slid defenders into the lane whenever Battle drove. And Battle exploited that with his new offensive approach, often off screens, again and again. SU head coach Jim Boeheim liked playing Battle more on

Wednesday for two reasons: It allows another shooter, in this case Buddy Boeheim, on the floor, and “Ty is better when he has the ball,� the head coach added. “The defense converges, they help in, and I just try to kick it out to teammates,� Battle said. “Helps me out, helps them out. People like Elijah, Buddy and Oshae, they get wide open 3s.� With one drive cut off midway through the first half, Battle handed off to Buddy, who hit a 3 from the left wing. Another handoff from Battle led to a Brissett 3 late in the first half. Battle’s last field goal came on an early steal and dunk to open the second half. Then he handed off to Hughes, again on the see battle page 10

Five years ago, Syracuse’s first year in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Orange were riding an undefeated men’s basketball season and were the top-ranked team in the nation. SU left the Big East and yearly matchups with some of its most storied rivals, but in the docket for that weekend was a new threat: Duke. Through the logistics and talks for the game, ESPN College GameDay’s presence and even the T-Shirts, Syracuse’s former Athletics Director Daryl Gross sensed the momentum, at the time. The Orange would already welcome the largest on-campus basketball crowd in history, so why not aim for more? “The Duke game would have been the game to do it,� Gross said of the potential of moving SU’s basketball court to the center of the Dome. “It was a one-time deal.� Syracuse didn’t make the change but the Carrier Dome still welcomed a record 35,446 people to the game. The next year against Duke, they opted against moving the court again. Now, in 2019, Syracuse looks to break its five-year long attendance record as part of one of the biggest SU Athletics weekends in recent memory, Syracuse Athletics Director John Wildhack said. The weeklong stretch from Wednesday, Feb. 20 to Wednesday, Feb. 27 features seven SU Athletics events in the Carrier Dome, two potential basketball attendance records and three Dome changeovers from the facilities staff.

Number of seats Syracuse added to the Dome for Saturday’s Duke game. The attendance is expected to be a record.

The previous Carrier Dome basketball attendance record is expected to be bested by eight attendees for the Orange’s matchup against the No. 1 Blue Devils. SU added four seats beside both the home and visitor benches, a move that was imitated from many programs around the country, Wildhack said. Wildhack added that the Carrier Dome women’s basketball record (11,051), which is expected to be set in No. 18 Syracuse’s Monday matchup with No. 6 Notre Dame, could be broken by more than 1,000 attendees. The most-recent figure for tickets sold was 10,000. But Wildhack said SU Athletics is “comfortably� expecting a record-setting crowd. “I think we’re on track to take that number and beat it significantly,� Wildhack said. “Significantly.� SU marketed the Notre Dame see dome page 10
