Attempted abduction unfounded

By Jessica Iannetta ASST. NEWS EDITOR

An attempted abduction of a Syracuse University female student early Sunday morning never happened, police determined after an investigation.

On Sunday night, a Department of Public Safety notice was sent out, alerting students that an unidentified male driving a Jeep approached a student as she walked alone on the 700 block of Maryland Avenue at about 3:30 a.m. earlier that day. According to the notice, the student approached the vehicle to give the man directions, the man asked her if she wanted to get in the car and then grabbed her wrist.

The student was able to break free,

SU senior cites diverse experiences as qualifications for position of Syracuse common councilor-at-large stopped to pick up a copy of The Post-Standard. On the cover was Mayor Stephanie Miner with a headline boldly proclaiming her announcement that she would run for re-election.

Cowen still has the newspaper.

He carries it in his briefcase every-

where he goes. This is the newspaper that made him pursue his dream.

This is the newspaper that encouraged him to run for public office.

“I read the article and it really got me thinking, ‘If I think that I can make a difference in the city, why should I wait to make that difference?’” Cowen said.

Cowen, a senior political science and policy studies major and entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises minor at Syracuse University, is running for Syracuse common councilorat-large. His experience teaching inner-city students in Washington, D.C., connections with various groups in Syracuse and energetic nature all contributed to Cowen’s desire to run for council and create change.

There are four common council-

ors-at-large in Syracuse that serve for four years on the Syracuse Common Council. The council’s main responsibility is to determine the city’s budget.

Cowen is running as a Democrat, and will face four other Democrats in the September primary.

Though he originally considered running for mayor, Cowen said he decided it would make more sense to contribute to the efforts of Miner, rather than disrupt them by running against her.

Running for office was always something Cowen had in the back of his mind, though he always thought of it as something he would accomplish later in life.

Photographer to discuss light pollution

By Kerry Wolfe

By Jessica Iannetta

STAFF WRITER

A photograph is more than just a thousand words. It tells a story of the past and the present, of things to cherish and those in danger of fading forever — like a black night sky.

National Geographic photographer Jim Richardson will speak about “Our Vanishing Night: Light Pollution” on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel.

The talk, which is a part of the University Lectures series, is free and open to the public.

Richardson has photographed more than 25 stories for National Geographic. His assignments have taken him around the world, from the frozen waters of Antarctica to Scotland’s rugged green hills. He is also a contributing editor at National Geographic Traveler, National Geographic’s sister publication.

His photography contains everything from everyday norms to breathtaking, exotic subjects, said Esther Gray, coordinator of the University Lectures series.

“His photography captures things in photos that most of us never see, even if it is right in front of us,” she said in an email. “He was a perfect fit for University Lectures.”

Coordinators for University Lectures chose to add Richardson to this year’s lineup because of his expertise in light pollution. Gray said she has not seen any other speakers cover the topic. She hopes students will learn from the story Richardson tells through his photography, as well as his environmental message.

“I think we all deserve an evening to sit and enjoy, but also to learn,” she said.

Most people don’t usually think about light pollution, said Thomas Perrault, an associate geography professor in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. People, specifically those in urban areas, live with constant light due to modern technology, such as streetlamps and house lights.

It is a growing issue, Perrault said.

As a geographer, he finds the contrast between light pollution in heavily urbanized areas and in undeveloped spaces interesting. He said he looks forward to the aesthetic aspects of Richardson’s presentation, particularly his photographs.

Syracuse football players Marquis Spruill and Steve Rene appeared in city court Monday regarding an incident with Syracuse police last December.

Spruill handed the judge a letter of apology and pleaded guilty to second- deg ree RENE harassment. He was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge.

As a part of his plea agreement, a charge of disorderly conduct was dismissed, SPRUILL according to a March 18 article published by The Post-Standard.

When the football players last appeared in court at the end of January, Spruill was undergoing counseling and the case was dismissed until a later date, when his progress would be assessed.

On Monday, Rene provided documentation saying he had completed 40 hours of community service. His case was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal, which means his charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest will be dismissed if he stays out of trouble for six months, according to The Post-Standard.

Rene completed his 40 hours of community service at Canarsie High School in Brooklyn, N.Y., and previously presented a letter of apology to the judge.

Chris Burke of Syracuse University legal services represented both players.

Both players were arrested in the early morning on Dec. 2. Rene was in the middle of Euclid Avenue yelling obscenities at pedestrians and police officers. An officer escorted Rene to the side of the street and spoke to him, but Rene returned to the street.

The officer attempted to handcuff Rene, but Spruill tried to pull the officer away. Both Spruill and Rene were placed into the back of a police car. While police questioned Rene, Spruill kicked open the door of the police car.

Both players spent the night in jail.

Spruill was fourth on the team in tackles in 2012 with 62. Former

Comptroller introduces funding system

By Debbie Truong ENTERPRISE EDITOR

Following a heated argument that raised issues of transparency, the Student Association approved a point system that will allow organizations to increase the amount of funding they can request for an event.

“This is really important. It’s monumental,” said SA Comptroller Stephen DeSalvo before introducing the system to the general assembly at Monday’s SA meeting in Maxwell Auditorium.

The newly approved point system, which was drafted by Assistant Comptroller Patrick Douglas, provides a checklist of items that

Amount organizations can request through tier system funding Tier Tier Tier Tier

four: $30,000+ three: $30,000 two: $15,000 one: $7,500

The percentage of points organizations must receive in order to advance to a higher tier, according to the point system approved Monday Tier three to tier four: Must receive more than 90 percent of the available points Tier two to tier three: Must receive more than 84 percent of the available points Tier one to tier two: Must receive more than 79 percent of the available points

student organizations must have for the Finance Board to approve the organization’s application to move into another funding tier. DeSalvo said the system provides a fair way to judge whether an organization should move into a higher tier, thereby allowing it to request more event funding, but some assembly members argued the system concentrates too much power in the comptroller’s hands.

Registered student organizations are grouped into four tiers based on the size and success of the events the organization has hosted. The amount of funding a student organization can request for an event is capped according to which tier the organization belongs, with tier four — the largest organizations — exempt from a cap.

Required items on the checklist include box office reports from at least five events funded by SA, recommendation letters from the organization’s adviser and a list of marketing strategies.

Criteria considered more heavily when evaluating applications include the success of previous events, as gauged by the event’s expected attendance versus its actual attendance, DeSalvo said.

Neither the Finance Board nor the general assembly was told how many possible points can be awarded for each item on the checklist, an issue that concerned some general assembly representatives.

“I have a serious problem passing something without the numbers in front of us,” said Colin Crowley, chair of the public relations committee.

But DeSalvo said withholding the numbers was done to ensure student organizations don’t gear applications to generate more points from criteria that’s weighted more. A conflict could arise if a general assembly or Finance Board member discloses to a student organization how many points each item is worth, DeSalvo said.

When approving an organization’s application, the comptroller will have a list detailing how many points are available for each item.

Then, based on application materials supplied by the student organization, the Finance Board will assign the percentage of points it believes the organization deserves.

If a student organization meets the minimum number of required points, its application to move into the next tier will be approved.

Representative Dan Hernandez said the process concentrates too much power with the comptroller.

DeSalvo eventually agreed to supply SA’s adviser with a document detailing how many points will be designated for each item.

Most assembly representatives rallied around DeSalvo and passed the point system around 10:15 p.m., concluding a packed meeting that included a one-and-ahalf-hour student forum about the chancellor search.

Said DeSalvo after the meeting: “I want to be as transparent as possible, but I don’t think it should be at the expense of putting the student fee at risk when it isn’t necessary.”

comments from the forums and other submissions will be used to create a profile of the ideal chancellor and aid in identifying candidates.

“I think of a chancellor as setting a tone internally and externally,” search consultant Chuck Jordan said during the student forum.

Jordan explained to attendees that each comment or concern they had for SU relates back to the chancellor in some way.

Chancellor Nancy Cantor announced Oct. 12 she plans to leave the university when her contract expires in 2014. The committee is expected to interview candidates in the summer and end its search by November or December.

Michele Haertel and Jordan, representatives from the search firm, Spencer Stuart, hired to assist in the search, moderated the discussions.

Search committee chair and Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees Joanne Alper and other members of the search committee were also present.

The university’s budget, campus diversity and community ties were brought up in each forum.

Forum attendees also expressed they would like to see the next chancellor as someone who is con-

fident, accessible and a skilled communicator.

The faculty forum had the lowest turnout, drawing about 35 faculty members. The staff and student forums each had at least twice that amount.

At the staff forum, held from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Schine Underground, staff members said SU’s chancellor is seen as a leader in the community, and will need to be prepared to interact with the mayor and county executives.

It would be harmful if the university cut ties with the city, said Eric Holzwarth, deputy director of the Renée Crown University Honors Program. He questioned how the search committee would assess a candidate’s community engagement when candidates likely don’t have experience working in the area.

Staff members said they would like to continue programs that require funding, such as providing financial assistance to students and continuing off-campus programs, but this means pressure on the university’s budget.

Mike Mattson, executive director of development, said SU’s Billion Dollar Campaign is only a start.

“We need to look forward to the next billion or two billion because it’s going to cost a lot of money to reach out and do these things,” Mattson said.

Faculty, who met from 4-5:30 p.m. in the Schine Underground, also discussed how the university could balance traditional academics and research with new techniques.

Craig Dudczak, associate communication and rhetorical studies professor, said he would like to see SU develop a stronger vision “rooted back to the mission of a university as a university.” While he acknowledged the importance of community engagement, he addressed how the university lost its Association of American Universities affiliation, among other designations.

Sarah Redmore, an environmental and interior design professor in the College of Visual and Performing Arts, brought up the future of Scholarship in Action, the community engagement mission initiated by Cantor.

A handful of young faculty members in the design department had been hired in the last 3-5 years based on their contributions to that mission, she said, and they value community engagement funding for their research. Other professors from different colleges echoed her thoughts, noting that certain tenure structures took into account Scholarship in Action principles.

Students who attended the student forum, held in Maxwell Auditorium from 7:30-9 p.m. as part of the Student Association’s regular

One student from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry said he hopes to see the strong relationship between ESF and SU continue. ESF President Neil Murphy also announced last year he plans to step down from his position. He and Cantor have worked well together to foster a friendly atmosphere between the two schools, the student said.

Several students talked about experiences they had with Cantor, who had personally responded to their emails or attended their campus events. The next chancellor should also be visible to the students, they said.

“A lot of people look great on paper, but we need a person, someone who is going to lead us,” said Nia Boles, a sophomore psychology and neuroscience major on the pre-med track.

Conversing about Spring Break continuously proves trivial, stale

“H

ey, how was your break?”

People are going to be asking each other this empty question for the better part of the next week, and reply to each other with equally empty answers.

Fine or great, fun or boring.

People are going to engage in such a conversation in droves while running into each other on campus, both parties briefly consenting to pull one ear bud out and take part in some insignificant babbling.

The question is simple, it’s superficial and it’s something everyone capable of speech can answer. It is something we can use to pull ourselves away from our phones for 30 seconds and acknowledge that other people exist out there in the universe. It’s the same dialogue no matter where you go – we could read it off of a script if we wanted.

We establish that everyone had a good break, make a passing joke about the weather and then, we move on.

Let’s just establish this rule for good – nobody cares what happened during break. Nobody cares how good your time abroad was, or what you had for lunch, or how classes are going. It’s all just fulfilling the human social contract: When we see someone we know, we must look up from Temple Run 2 and engage in meaningless pabulum to prove we still have the ability to interact socially.

In January, there was a variation on this theme.

“How was your time abroad?”

Sure, like you really want to know the full breakdown of what happened during the course of six months spent in a foreign land, especially when we’ve just bumped into each other on Marshall Street and it’s 20 degrees outside with bone-chilling 30-mph winds.

Why do I need to stop and engage in nothing-talk that goes nowhere while I slowly succumb to hypothermia?

Why do we do this? Why, in the age of texting and ignoring people ad nauseum, do we feel compelled to subject ourselves to this bizarre exercise? Why do we continue to envelope ourselves in useless

world on a string subtext and time-wasting pretense?

You’d think the advent of technology would lead to face-to-face conversations only when absolutely necessary.

Yet, we conduct our most important business digitally, while making light, petty conversation in person.

It reminds me of basement parties during freshman year, when guys would attempt to hit on girls by asking, “What’s your major?”

Asking is the wrong word, actually.

Screaming over some pulsating Rihanna sex romp played at the volume of an F-22 Raptor taking off is more like it. I’m sure most, if not all, freshman dudes in that situation are feverishly interested in learning what Catie – or possibly Cira with a “C” – has chosen as her path of study.

Though the context is a bit different, the subtext is similar. When you’re asking me how my Spring Break was, you’re just putting in the due diligence to talk to me for five seconds before you go on with your day and deal with the more important things in your life.

Just as a lot of guys try and pretend to be interested in what they can’t hear over the pounding of music so they can perform their due diligence and attempt to...you get where I’m going.

Disturbing analogy aside, I don’t know what this means about us as a society today. I just know I’m already damn tired of having the same emotionally vacuous conversation six times a day, every day for the next week.

Well, I have nothing interesting left to say, so...how was your break?

SCRIBBLE

Discrimination exists in training wage idea New York State Senate Republicans have proposed allowing employers to offer a “training wage” to workers younger than 20 years of age. This is a discriminatory action state legislators should not consider or implement.

In January, Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed increasing the minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.75.

Lawmakers are attempting to adopt a budget, including wage decisions, by the end of this week, as the state’s $136.5 billion budget must be adopted by March 31.

Republicans fear these hikes will hurt small businesses in New York, and have made proposals to lessen the effects of wage increases.

Specific details about the training wage have not been released, but it is known that the reduced wage would apply to workers younger than 20 for the first several months of employment.

A training wage is not a worthy option to be considered by lawmak-

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board ers trying to compromise on the minimum wage disagreements.

If a there was a proposal suggesting men or women should receive lower wages than the opposite sex for the first few months of employment, it would never be a discussion. The training wage proposal creates a similar situation in the form of discrimination by age.

Many young people in New York who fall into this age group are adults enrolled in college who must save money to pay off loans.

Others are financially independent and responsible for supporting themselves.

The current minimum wage has been proven insufficient. Keeping wages at this level for select individuals or lowering them further would prove detrimental to those

making a living.

For workers younger than 18, the summer is often the time most of these individuals work and build their savings. A training wage that would last a few months would consume much, if not all, of this time and would make saving difficult.

Large hikes may hurt small businesses that cannot afford to pay employees the proposed amounts.

But the answer for reaching a compromise fair to all workers in New York may still lie in raising the minimum wage, either by a smaller amount or as a gradual increase.

Other options legislators should consider is lowering wages only for a short period of job training or making the training wage only applicable to people younger than 18 who are still financially dependent.

Workers younger than 20 years old are capable of doing the same jobs and at the same skill level as those of older individuals. Being singled out because of age is not acceptable.

COWEN FROM PAGE 1

the future with friends over drinks during a New England Patriots game in January, Cowen realized there was no good reason to wait.

There is urgency in the city right now, and it’s something he wants to be a part of.

Cowen hopes running for a seat on the Common Council will give him the ability to continue making changes and help Syracuse become the “model city” he believes it can be. He wants to encourage SU students to stay in Syracuse

“When we speak to him on the phone, we can hardly keep up with him, with everything that he’s doing. We’re always wondering, ‘Does he ever sleep?’”

Anki Cowen

and take advantage of the opportunities here, giving back to the community at the same time.

Though some might say running for public office at such a young age is unexpected, it’s something Cowen is used to.

After applying early decision to SU and being accepted to his program of choice, Cowen did the unexpected: He decided to defer his acceptance for the 2008-2009 school year to be a part of City Year, an organization in which an individual dedicates a year to serving at an inner-city school.

Cowen lived in Washington, D.C., for a year and assisted in teaching a second-grade class.

While in D.C., Cowen took on several additional projects and roles. He took the commuter bus to school at 5:35 a.m., assisted in the classroom all day, stayed late to run the after-school program and started a theater program. Peter Pan, one of the plays he assisted with, drew the largest crowd in the school’s history.

His work didn’t go unnoticed. Cowen won City Year’s Long Walk Award, which recognized him for earning the most volunteer hours out of every City Year participant in Washington, D.C. City Year made Cowen excited about education reform. Even though he got up at 4:30 a.m. to catch the commuter bus every morning, he didn’t spend his time on the bus sleeping.

He spent that time thinking about all of the changes he wanted to see in the world.

He talked about his ideas with Jim Buie, a fellow commuter in D.C. Cowen approached Buie one day and struck up a conversation. After that, they spent every day talking about the problems Cowen saw first-hand while teaching in D.C., and what should be done to fix them.

“Dan has seen first-hand a bankrupt school in the shadow of the capital,” Buie said. “Bankrupt in terms of its values, its resources, its capability of solving the problems in the urban center.”

Anki Cowen said City Year changed her son’s life. It made Cowen realize the differences he could make when he engaged in a community.

“The way that he grew up in Weyland (Mass.) is way different than the kids that he was working with in D.C.,” she said. “It just made him appreciate so much where he came from, but also it really made him think that he could do something to change and help to improve things.”

When he arrived at SU, Cowen’s momentum only picked up. He joined STAND, an antigenocide group, which eventually led to his

involvement with the Congolese refugee community in Syracuse.

Cowen became fast friends with the president of the Congolese community, Cyprien Mihigo.

One night during his sophomore year, Cowen visited Mihigo’s home, where he ate the traditional Congolese food “fufu” and listened to stories about the atrocities Mihigo and friends faced in their country.

“You talk about turning points in your life and points when you get really inspired and you know that you need to do something about something – this was one of those experiences,” Cowen said.

He has been involved in the creation of a cultural and language exchange program where members of the Syracuse community can meet with Congolese refugees, share traditions of their culture and work on their English.

Cowen is now in the process of creating an incubation agency to help empower Congolese refugees and find them work for which they are qualified and paid fairly.

If elected as councilman, many of Cowen’s goals, like the incubation agency and having SU students stay in Syracuse after graduation, will aim to serve specific groups while benefitting the community at the same time.

In addition to running for public office, Cowen is a dual major, a member of the Renée Crown University Honors program and SU Ambulance, and a Remembrance Scholar. He also works at Knowledge Systems & Research Inc. in Syracuse.

“When we speak to him on the phone, we can hardly keep up with him with everything that he’s doing. We’re always wondering, ‘Does he ever sleep?’” his mother asked, laughing.

But Cowen isn’t tired. He’s full of energy, as he always has been. And he’s not worried about being a younger candidate.

“I benefit from a receding hairline and a beard, so I feel a little bit older when I look in the mirror,” he said jokingly.

In fact, Cowen sees his youth as something that will benefit him in the election, because with that youth comes relentless energy.

Manufacturing controversy Company’s use of 3-D printers to produce guns creates debate

micah benson | art director

STAFF WRITER

he technology that allows the manufacturing of items such as human tissue, cartilage and pens, all in a single room, is creating controversy.

The concept, called three-dimensional printing, may revolutionize manufacturing processes. Threedimensional printers are mainly being used in the commercial realm, but nonprofit Defense Distributed is looking to introduce another application: gun printing.

Defense Distributed, a pro-gun organization, is currently producing firearm parts and magazines using 3-D printing. The blueprints for these parts are posted online for the public to download. The website’s popularity has catapulted recently, boasting 50,000 blueprint downloads in the last two weeks, according to a March 11 ComputerWorld article.

A court would likely uphold the legality of 3-D gun printing, said Thomas Keck, associate professor of political science at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

“The Supreme Court never took the Second Amendment seriously until 2008, when individual rights were affirmed,” Keck said. “A lot of litigation will be needed but it is the kind of thing that the court would likely uphold, even though an actual decision on that topic is a long way off.”

New York Rep. Steve Israel is co-sponsoring a bill demanding a renewal of the Undetectable Firearms Act. If passed, the bill would ban the purchase of non-metal firearms undetectable by a traditional X-ray machine, such as guns manufactured by 3-D printing, according to a Jan. 18 article published by Forbes Magazine.

Defense Distributed has also experienced challenges obtaining funding because of its controversial hosting of firearm blueprints. Crowd-funding website IndieGogo removed Defense Distributed’s account because it violated IndieGogo’s terms of service. In addition, Stratasys, a 3-D printer manufacturing company, repossessed a printer that was rented to Defense Distributed, according to Forbes.

There are other uses for 3-D printing besides guns.

Technology like the MakerBot allows products to be scanned for their physical dimensions and replicated.

Website Thingiverse allows consumers to buy everyday products, like phone cases or necklaces, printed from 3-D printers, according to Forbes.

Although 3-D printing may have significant benefits in the future, Andy Molloy, information technology consultant for the School of Architecture’s fabrication equipment, which includes a 3-D printer, said these printers are good for prototypes and testing products but are not designed for mass production.

“It takes about 20 hours just to print a four-inch model,” Molloy said. “In addition, cartridges are very expensive, and these may be prohibitive factors despite having access to the blueprints of weapons.”

Despite the debate about 3-D printing, the technology is still being developed, Molloy said.

“As the cost of these high-tech printers decreases,” he said, “the three-dimensional printing technology is still in its early years, and it is difficult to forecast where we will be three years from now.” jmrose03@syr.edu

the sweet stuff in the middle

Drama William Shakespeare once wrote, “All the world’s a stage.” Actually, Billy Shakes, all the world is the history of the world. Sorry thespians, this game wasn’t even close. Studying history to better the future outweighs theater in this first round of the Northeast.

History Biophysical science Biophysical science vs. religion was the biggest ticket-seller of the first-round matchups. Just like the Scopes Trial of the 1920s, the outcome flipped in favor of the biophysical scientists. Religion is a team that is fun to watch, and can oftentimes light up the arena, but come tournament time, it won’t get the W.

This is going to be a real nail-biter, and I predict the score between the two teams will be within five points.

The thing is, though, scientists have to go through too much trial and error to come to a correct conclusion with their work, and it is going to cost them in this game. The historians will know the history of erroneous scientific experiments, and they’ll punish the biophysicists with it.

Religion Television, radio and film Television, radio and film majors, what do you want to do with your degree after college? In the time it takes you to answer that question, the finance majors have already gotten 10 job offers. Then they’ll steal the ball and score while the TRF majors decide whether they want to be the next J.J. Abrams, Ira Glass or Quentin Tarantino.

Finance Music

MAJOR BRACKET CHALLENGE

By Chelsea DeBaise FEATURE EDITOR

Editor’s note: The majors, or teams, chosen for the Sweet 16 Syracuse University major bracket challenge were chosen at random from a comprehensive list of every major at SU. The tournament bracket is purely satirical and crafted for your enjoyment.

Music is going to put up a good fight, but history is going to have a much bigger game. The musicians will be surprised by their own success after coming up from nothing, but they’ll let their egos get completely in the way. The historians will put together yet another win and keep on studying the social patterns of the next team they face so they can be perfectly prepared.

It was such an amazing ride to see the Greek Classics majors make such a deep run, but it ultimately comes down to asking just how relevant their studies are to modern-day basketball?

It provides a lot of great knowledge and an interesting base to many things, but history is more encompassing, and they’re going to be able to run more diverse plays.

Upset city, baby! Finance will definitely have the better odds in this game, what with the job security and general everyday usefulness of the major, but the musicians are going to enjoy the game more and — being so in-tune with their emotions — will communicate better with each other on the court.

This is a battle of the right-brainers, but ultimately, old faithful will come out and win it. Communications design is the hip new major, mixing knowledge of digital interfacing with artistic instincts, but it doesn’t have the staying power that music has. Music is an age-old phenomenon, and people throughout history haven’t stopped caring about it. Carry on, maestro.

Communications design

This is going to be the anthropology game all over again. The Greeks pretty much invented torque, and their study of the human body was totally groundbreaking. Physical therapists don’t have the wealth of knowledge that these classicists have, and they’re going to suffer for it in the second half. You just have to keep rooting for the sleeker team. In what building do these Greek guys even take classes?

Marketing management

It’s hard to beat a team who pretty much invented your style of play. That’s why SU always seems to beat on “noobs” who try to play it using a 2-3 zone. The study of anthropology is derived from the phrase ‘anthropos logia,’ the study of man.

Sorry, anthropologists, but the Greek classicists are going to know all of your plays before they happen, and this major, SU’s bestkept secret, moves another step in the tournament.

Expect a small upset with this game.

Anthropology, a difficult major to define by those who are and aren’t studying it, might just have the social relevance to take out the flashy marketing management team. Ultimately, the marketing management team will be too busy arguing about who should be leading the group, and the anthropology majors will incorporate the knowledge of collaboration they’ve learned from other cultures to steal the game.

Anthropology Greek (classics) Greek (classics) is the dark horse and Cinderella team in this race. The Greeks offered an incredible amount to society, from art to philosophy to innovations in writing and physics. Sorry, ladies, but this round will be the biggest major upset of the first round with the Greeks taking down women’s and gender studies (just like when Haemon took down Antigone).

Women’s and gender studies Ethics

About 10 minutes into the second half, the English and textual studies team will completely fall apart when two of its own players get into an argument about whether Charlotte Bronte or Sylvia Plath was a more significant feminist writer.

The physical therapy team, already the team with a stronger background in athletics, will steal the show.

Here’s the thing: People struggle with ethics. Between lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride, something always manages to get in the way. But people still have an overwhelming tendency to physically harm themselves or others, so while ethics might be a lost cause, the physical therapists could actually be a force to be reckoned with in this tournament.

Physical therapy English & textual studies In my mind, fashion was significantly over-seeded for this tournament. The fact is, this team is just all about appearance, and there’s not enough substance to their style of play. The English and textual studies team can sometimes bog themselves down with analysis, but ultimately, I think they’re going to pull out with the win in this first-round game.

Justin Timberlake’s new album is classy, charming, near perfection

Well-suited

By Erik van Rheenen

“T

STAFF WRITER

he 20/20 Experience,” Justin Timberlake’s return to pop music after seven years, is triumphant. It’s sleek, smooth and sexy. It flaunts some of music producer Timbaland’s glossiest production to date, and Timberlake’s debonair falsetto spills over with charm and charisma.

It’s also about 20 minutes too long.

Clocking in at about 70 minutes, Timberlake’s latest opus is 10 tracks of blue-eyed soul and self-indulgence. “The 20/20 Experience” is a celebration of lavish excess: a feast of Timberlake’s choicest cuts. It’s a feast that pop fans have long been starving for, but Timberlake and Timbaland might’ve done well to trim the fat before mainstream listeners get obese on the pop star.

Right off the bat, there really isn’t a heck of a lot to complain about on Timberlake’s “20/20 Experience.” It’s head-and-shoulders above any other pop record output this year, and Timberlake earned his spot back on the Top 40 throne.

But even an album as mesmerizing as “20/20” has cracks in its foundation. After all, the only 20/20 vision is hindsight.

Right, Justin?

A swirling arrangement of cinematic strings set the tone on opener “Pusher Love Girl,” an eight-minute love affair to the cheap love-as-drugs metaphor. We’ve heard it a million times before, but Timberlake’s elastic voice stretches its way to some flawless retrosoul hooks, and the funky instrumentation and old-school synthesizers keep the idea from getting too stale.

But Timberlake gets a little too comfortable in his own soundscape, and spends about three minutes stretching out the track’s runtime past its expiration date. That’s really the only recurring problem on a record that’s virtually pristine. Lead single “Suit & Tie” is a luxurious, horn-laden tune that probably should’ve cut itself off before Jay-Z cut in for a lame duck of a verse.

Music fans knew that if Timberlake was going to come back into the Top 40 fray, he’d come back swinging. “The 20/20 Experience” runs over with ambition, from the tribal

beats of thumping dance floor jam “Don’t Hold the Wall” and “Let the Groove Get In” to the throwback rhythm-and-blues leanings of “That Girl.” But ambition comes in all shapes and sizes — not every track needs to be a rambling seven-minute masterpiece.

Even Timberlake’s best song, “Mirrors,” an early frontrunner for pop song of the year, suffers from fatigue five minutes in.

Timberlake belts a monster of a chorus over hand claps and dazzling synthesizers, but the last third of the track is a weird mess of chanted vocals and a beat that sounds like a cellphone stuck on vibrate.

The biggest culprit of overstaying its welcome is closer “Blue Ocean Floor,” a snoozer that drones on for seven and a half minutes. Everything “Mirrors” does right — exuberant vocal performance, high-energy arrangement, killer chorus — “Blue Ocean Floor” scuttles. Timberlake’s voice is only as strong as the instrumentation that backs it, and over a blasé set of sleepy electronics, he struggles to find a half-decent melody.

Still, it’s really the only song worth considering skipping. Everything

that made “FutureSex/LoveSounds” an instant classic in 2006 gets blown up to epic proportions on “The 20/20 Experience.” Only Timberlake could sound equal parts charming and self-aware singing about making love on the moon in “Spaceship Coupe,” and “Strawberry Bubblegum” highlights some glitchy beats and jazzy synths.

In an interview with NME, Timberlake asked, “If Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin can do 10-minute songs and Queen can do 10-minute songs, then why can’t we? We’ll figure out the radio edits later.’’

Except that’s his biggest problem.

The members of Pink Floyd probably didn’t care if any of their songs charted, and Led Zeppelin wasn’t thinking about chopping down “Stairway to Heaven” to make it more mainstream-friendly.

Timberlake got himself stuck between commercialism and art.

“The 20/20 Experience” isn’t quite the modern-day classic JT fans were hoping for, but it came pretty damn close. ervanrhe@syr.edu @TheRealVandyMan

2013 WOMEN’S NCAA TOURNAMENT SELECTION SHOW

APARTMENTS FOR RENT

SU earns 1st NCAA tourney berth since 2008

By Kevin Prise STAFF WRITER

Unlike her senior teammates, Brittney Sykes hadn’t been through the NCAA tournament selection show experience of waiting to see if her team’s name would be called. Even if Syracuse didn’t make it this year, Sykes would still have three more chances to make it to the Big Dance.

Still, that didn’t bring Sykes much comfort as the brackets were revealed.

“I was as nervous as they were,” Sykes said.

“I’m sitting next to Kayla (Alexander), each bracket that came up – Bridgeport and the Notre Dame bracket came up – and our name wasn’t

“None of us players have ever been in this situation, so we don’t really know what to expect. Definitely another level of intensity, another level of excitement and competitiveness.

We’re all excited to be here in this position.”

Elashier Hall

SYRACUSE GUARD

called yet. I’m sitting there like, ‘Ugh, guys, I’m a little nervous.’”

Sykes had nothing to worry about. Syracuse earned a No. 7 seed in this year’s NCAA tournament on Monday night. The Orange will face No. 10-seed Creighton in a first-round matchup Saturday in Knoxville, Tenn., at 11:20 a.m. The Syracuse-Creighton winner will face the winner of No. 2-seed Tennessee and No. 15-seed Oral Roberts on Monday.

For Sykes and the rest of SU’s five-player freshman contingent, the tournament berth marked a quick reward for the beginning of a potentially prosperous Syracuse career. But the seniors – led by all-time leading scorer Alexander, along with career 1,000-point-scorers Carmen-Tyson Thomas and Elashier Hall – watched the show knowing this was their last chance to play in the NCAA tournament.

So when Syracuse’s seeding was announced, head coach Quentin Hillsman couldn’t help but feel pride for his seniors.

“It’s awesome for them,” Hillsman said.

“What else can they ask for? Just for themselves, to go on to life after college. They’ll all have an opportunity to play if they would like to play, but just to have that experience now, to have been in the NCAA tournament, is critical for them.”

The team watched in a film room on the second floor of the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center. As the first three regions were revealed, Syracuse’s name was not called. After a 24-7 season and third-place finish in Big East regular-season play, the Orange was a supposed lock this year.

Still, for the seniors who have waited four years for this moment, seeing Syracuse’s name flash on the screen elicited positive emotions.

With an NCAA tournament matchup approaching, the week ahead is sure to induce a special

mood, Hall said.

“None of us players have ever been in this situation, so we don’t really know what to expect,” Hall said. “Definitely another level of intensity, another level of excitement and competitiveness. We’re all excited to be here, in this position.”

Six straight conference wins pushed SU’s record to 22-3 midway through February, but Syracuse lost three straight, the last a 77-75 tripleovertime loss to Villanova. The setback caused Hillsman and players to express concern that the team’s tournament berth wasn’t yet sealed, even as a top-five team in a conference that was ultimately awarded eight bids on Monday.

But after beating Louisville on Senior Night for SU’s first win over a ranked team, those worries were put to rest.

“We’re really relaxed right now,” Hillsman said. “We knew we were in the tournament about a week and a half, two weeks ago, so I think the stress was kind of off. It was just about us getting through the Big East tournament, winning some games and being healthy.”

Hillsman said the team will run a normal morning practice Tuesday before beginning adjustments Wednesday in anticipation of the 789-mile trip to Knoxville.

For Tyson-Thomas, the mood at practice will certainly be altered by the week’s anticipation, despite having won 10 Women’s National Invitation Tournament games in her career.

“Ironically, it’s a different atmosphere,” Tyson-Thomas said. “We’re still going to be in the Carmelo Anthony Center, but it’s a different atmosphere. You know now that we’re going to something bigger, we’re in something different.

We’ve got to bring a whole different level of play to the game, so I feel as though everything’s going to be a little tricked up.”

MORE ON THE COMPETITION What Hillsman said:

“Creighton’s a very good 3-point shooting team, they’re No. 2 in the country in makes and they make nine 3s a game, and it’s one of those teams that you know they take a lot of them and you make a lot. So we just got to be able to guard them. It’s going to be one of those games that we just got to get up and down the floor, play our game and guard the 3-point line.”

Team: Tennessee Nickname: Lady Volunteers Record: 24-7 (14-2) Conference: Southeastern Player to watch: Meighan Simmons Synopsis: UT has long been one of the

premier programs in women’s basketball.

The Lady Vols won eight national championships under Pat Summit, but the legendary head coach retired in the offseason for medical reasons, handing the program to Holly Warlick.

The new head coach hasn’t missed a

beat. Tennessee won yet another Southeastern Conference regular-season championship, going 14-2 in the league before falling to Texas A&M in the conference semifinals.

Simmons leads the way for the Lady Volunteers, averaging 17.5 points per game while also thriving as a perimeter defender and leading the team in steals.

What Hillsman said:

“Seeing Tennessee a lot on TV, they’re a very explosive team. So is Oral Roberts. … Our region, just in general, is a tough region, so there’s going to be some tough games in there.”

Team: Oral Roberts Nickname: Golden Eagles Record: 18-12 (13-5) Conference: Southland Player to watch: Kevi Luper Synopsis: ORU heads to the NCAA tour-

nament after winning the Southland Conference tournament. Oral Roberts really struggled in nonconference play, at one point losing 8-of-10, including a 38-point loss to Baylor, but ends the season having won eight of its last nine.

The Golden Eagles split the Southland regular-season title with Sam Houston State before beating the Bearkats in the conference championship game. Luper scored 26 points in that game and leads the team with 19 points per game.

What Hillsman said:

“They’re a very good basketball team. When you’re in the tournament, there are no bad teams, so you’re not going to get a walkover — it’s just not going to happen. So you just have to prepare yourself to play good basketball for two days at a time and move on.”

Off of stellar freshman campaign, Wambold fights sophomore slump

By Jesse Dougherty STAFF WRITER

No freshman in Syracuse history has hit more home runs than Julie Wambold did last season.

On her way to winning the ‘Cuse Awards Female Rookie of the Year, Wambold led the team in home runs (11) and RBIs (34).

Thrust into the meat of Leigh Ross’ lineup from the start of the season, Wambold’s bat was not just powerful, but clutch. In just her seventh collegiate game, Wambold hit a walkoff home run that led Syracuse to a 5-3 win over UC Davis at the Cathedral Classic. Then, when the team was near elimination in the NCAA Regionals, her RBI single was critical in a 2-1 win over Long Beach State.

But 2012 is in Wambold’s past, and success isn’t coming as easily in her sophomore season. After setting a high bar for herself in her freshman year, she is hitting in the middle of Syracuse’s (9-14) lineup and is seeing harder pitching as a result. Struggling at the plate at times, Wambold is leaning on raw determination and the support of her teammates to recapture her form from a year ago.

“She’s playing really well, but I can imagine that she is feeling pressure to play like she did last season,” junior first baseman Jasmine Watson said. “I had a big sophomore slump and know how that pressure feels, and you just have to keep working hard and swing your way out of it.”

Watson’s overall numbers were similar from her freshman to sophomore seasons, but her batting average dropped considerably. But by continuing to adjust, Watson was able to find her power stroke, which was instrumental in the Orange’s NCAA tournament run.

Wambold is currently hitting .238 with two home runs and seven RBIs. If she can turn it around like Watson did in her sophomore

season, the Orange could find its stride just in time for Big East play, which begins at Louisville on March 29.

“Of course there is pressure to produce, coming off of a good season and hitting in the four or five spot, but I’m not letting it affect my play,” Wambold said. “I have always worked off the energy of my teammates and am going to do that again this season.”

Ross doesn’t just recognize Wambold’s ability at the plate, but also her invaluable versatility in the field. Last season, Wambold played significant innings in the outfield. This year, after the team’s Spring Break trip to Hawaii, she seems to be settling into a spot at second base, but her flexibility remains an asset.

“Julie is a pure hitter, we saw that last year and we are seeing it again this year,” Ross said.

“But we can also play her anywhere, which makes her that much more special.

“As for the pressure she’s facing, hitting is never easy, she’s doing all we can ask for her and she’ll figure out a way to get on the track that she wants to be on.”

With Wambold playing second base in recent games, senior shortstop Morgan Nandin is enjoying the sophomore’s company in the middle of the infield. Nandin has a frontrow seat to Wambold’s uncanny talent and relentless determination.

There is no one more confident in Wambold’s abilities than Nandin, who is sure her teammate will flourish this season.

“If anyone can really get going on this team, it’s Julie,” Nandin said. “She is an incredible athlete who can hit the ball way over the fence and play just about any position. It’s crazy. I mean if you gave her a basketball, she’d probably go and dunk it.” jcdoug01@syr.edu

After emotional Hopkins win, SU heads to PC on short rest

By Jacob Klinger ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Syracuse knows exactly what Tuesday’s matchup at Providence is.

“It is a trap game,” head coach John Desko said. “Again, coming off that emotional game, having to travel, play on a Tuesday.”

Who: Providence Fresh off of Where: Prodvidence, R.I. a marquee 13-8 When: Today, 7 p.m. victory Saturday against storied rival Johns Hopkins, the No. 4 Orange’s (4-1, 1-0 Big East) greatest adjustments ahead of Tuesday’s 7 p.m. match at Providence (5-1, 0-1) are mental and off of the field. Playing its first short-rest game of the season, SU can’t prepare much else. The Orange doesn’t want to forget the win over then-No. 5 JHU – the highlight of its season so far – but in the quick turnaround to play Providence, any Hopkins memories are cut down to the similarities between the Blue Jays and the Friars.

The SU coaching staff has been wary of overworking tired legs after the Johns Hopkins game, instead dissecting video and fine-tuning for PC’s harsher field and defensive schemes.

For the players, the challenge is largely mental.

“It’s a little tough,” Syracuse midfielder Henry Schoonmaker said, “especially after having that big win against Hopkins, you don’t want to get too high on yourself because you know you have Providence two days later and you have to start preparing for them right away.”

Twenty hours after SU concluded the highlight of its season to date, the Orange was in Manley Field House, watching tape on Providence.

Then, SU took the AstroTurf field at J.S. Coyne Stadium for a light walkthrough. Providence’s Lennon Family Field is one of the few in the country that hosts games on a harsher, bouncier artificial surface. AstroTurf is harder to run on and hurts players more when they fall.

But the change of playing surface especially affects goalkeeper Dominic Lamolinara, who made his season debut Saturday.

“I saw on film they were bouncing a lot, I saw they were bouncing higher,” Lamolinara said,

UP NEXT

“so I just need to move over to the ball and make the save with my body rather than just relying on my stick.”

Lamolinara said he’s only played on AstroTurf twice in his life, but thinks the team’s pre-game practice on the surface will ease the adjustment. Desko said he would discuss whom to start in goal with assistant coach Kevin Donahue on Monday night. Lamolinara replaced usual starter Bobby Wardwell at halftime of SU’s win Saturday and recorded five saves, including three 1-on-1s in close.

Regardless of the turf, Schoonmaker said he and the offense are keying in on the Friars’ close-man slides. Providence will shift a defender off of the crease to double up on the ball, so the Orange is emphasizing recognizing the slide and passing quickly to escape the trap.

“Sometimes they can get confused, too, on who’s the near man, so that can also – we can get some just straight-up great looks because they can get confused like that,” Schoonmaker said.

Desko later added that the PC close slides are secondary when the Orange dodges as the first slide comes from midfield.

The emotional grounding from the Johns Hopkins victory is especially lofty for sophomore defender Sean Young. Saturday’s win was his debut and first start for the Orange, and he shut down JHU’s leading scorer Brandon Benn, earning Big East Defensive Player of the Week.

After Sunday’s team film session, he watched more film Sunday night, and said he expected to watch even more on the team bus to Providence on Monday.

Young admitted that packing a week’s worth of mental preparation into a couple of days can be a headache, but his and the Orange’s fate against Providence will be determined by the success of that off-field turnaround.

“Sunday’s practice was really light because after the game, they just wanted us to loosen up our legs, mentally just prepare like we’re playing any opponent, like we’re playing Hopkins again,” Young said. “I have to watch film, I have to know my matchup, I have to be ready at all aspects.” jmklinge@syr.edu @Jacob_Klinger_

SOUTHERLAND F ROM PAGE 16

Division-I teams, including Gonzaga-bound Theo Davis.

Southerland showed flashes of brilliance in practice, Naclerio said.

“Put it this way, if he did well in practice, he was doing it against really good players,” Naclerio said.

Southerland stepped into a starting role his sophomore year and continued to improve.

That’s when he started getting the recognition that lasted for the rest of his high school years.

During Southerland’s junior season, Cardozo scrimmaged Brooklyn’s Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. The day before the scrimmage, Naclerio received a call from Louisville head coach Rick Pitino, who expressed interest in coming to watch then-Bishop Loughlin star Devin Ebanks. Ebanks ended up going to West Virginia and now plays for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Naclerio told him he had a stud who could shoot.

The day of the scrimmage, Naclerio and Southerland were walking toward the gym when they ran into Pitino. Naclerio said Southerland became so nervous, he struggled to introduce himself.

Pitino already knew who he was.

Southerland didn’t take an outside shot the entire first quarter, but Pitino saw all he needed to see during warm-ups.

“After the first quarter,” Naclerio said, “I went by Pitino, he goes, ‘Ron, you’re right, he can shoot the s*** out of the ball.’”

The calls from Big East schools started rolling in. St. John’s expressed interest. Southerland said the instability within the coaching staff limited his interest in playing for the Red Storm. Then-head coach Norm Roberts, who grew up with Jim Southerland, was fired from SJU in 2010.

Southerland only wanted to go to Syracuse.

“I knew from ninth or 10th grade. It was early. I feel like it had a lot to do with where I came from. Basketball was big in that area,” Southerland said. “My high school drew a lot of crowds. I thought like, 2,000 people are at our games, so imagine 35,000.”

The interest between Southerland and Syracuse was mutual. Southerland impressed SU assistant coach Mike Hopkins immediately at an open workout.

m a rch 19 , 2 013

Southerland committed to Syracuse early in his junior season. But he still wasn’t ready for college, physically or emotionally. He enrolled at Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg, Mass., and stayed for two years.

Everything Naclerio taught Southerland about working hard at Cardozo carried over to Notre Dame Prep.

Head coach Ryan Hurd said Southerland would wake up at 5:30 a.m. to go on a two-mile run, come back to the gym to shoot, then take a quick nap before breakfast and his first class.

It was an incredible routine Southerland never even told the coaches about. Hurd said they only found out about it once the coaches saw him running one morning.

By the time Southerland arrived at Syracuse, he had a remarkable shooting form combined with an ability to dribble and drive to the basket. He could make jaw-dropping dunks and athletic shots at the rim.

But for his first couple of seasons, his playing time for the Orange was limited.

Southerland began to grow concerned he wouldn’t crack Syracuse’s lineup. Other college coaches began calling Naclerio, telling him they’d be glad to take Southerland if he wasn’t happy at Syracuse.

Last year, he started seeing more playing time. He played in all 37 games and drained 37 3-pointers. But Dion Waiters, an eventual-No. 4 pick in last June’s NBA Draft, held the role of the Orange’s sixth man. Southerland waited patiently behind him.

“Last year, we had a bunch of guys, but at the end of the year, James was big for us,” SU assistant coach Adrian Autry said. “James was, if you really looked at it, he was right there, but we had so many names, so I think this year, when that came out, it was like, ‘We didn’t know he was that good.’”

Southerland had a brilliant start to his senior season, including Syracuse’s game at Arkansas, where he hit nine 3-pointers and scored 35 points. In the following two months, he had three games with at least three 3s. He was a spark off of the bench.

But everything grinded to a halt on Jan. 12.

Syracuse announced Southerland was ineligible. Eventually, it became clear it was academically related.

For everyone around Southerland, it was a shock. He had gotten a 3.3 GPA. Jim Southerland said his son had done so well during summer school, professors were giving him recommendations and praising him for his hard work.

He worked harder than ever, not only to keep fresh, but to also keep his mind off everything off of the court.

When the team traveled, though, Southerland couldn’t be there. His Syracuse teammates were without the player whose outgoing personality could lift them all up.

Southerland said it was painful watching television while his team lost on the road at Villanova and Pittsburgh.

“A basketball team is a close-knit group,” Autry said.

“So it’s like one of your brothers not being there and you know they want to be there and they can’t be there and also, he’s paid his dues. He’s a senior.”

On Feb. 8, Southerland appealed to a Syracuse University academic hearing panel and won. He returned to the court and started knocking down shots immediately. In each of his first seven games after the suspension, he hit at least three 3-pointers.

Shooting through the ranks Despite challenges off court, Southerland continues to surge through competitive level of basketball with standout ability from 3-point line

on Naclerio could tell immediately that James Southerland was not a post player. Regardless of how tall Southerland was when he and his father, Jim, walked into Naclerio’s office on a late June day toward the end of Southerland’s eighth-grade year, just the way he moved told Naclerio something different. Jim Southerland told Naclerio his son could shoot the ball.

ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Syracuse is returning to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2008 after earning the No. 7 seed in the Oklahoma City region in this year’s draw. After falling to Connecticut in the Big East tournament semifinals, the Orange will face No. 10-seed Creighton in the first round in Knoxville, Tenn.

Should SU advance, it will likely face No. 2-seed Tennessee, assuming the Volunteers stave off an upset attempt from No. 15-seed Oral Roberts. A pair of wins would send Syracuse to Oklahoma City and the first Sweet 16 in program history.

Here’s a small breakdown of the teams the Orange could face in the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament:

They walked upstairs to the gym and watched Southerland shoot. He had the form. The confidence. And what made him truly unique for a knockdown shooter, the height.

Through the arduous workouts and practices with Naclerio at Benjamin N. Cardozo High School in Queens, N.Y., the competition against elite players in his class and his ability to excel academically despite a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in the sixth grade, Southerland opened the eyes of major Division-I programs, including Syracuse.

After three years in the background with the Orange, Southerland opened the eyes of the rest of

the country in his senior season, which was interrupted for six games because of an academicrelated eligibility issue.

“I really felt like I could take it this far. Luckily, I was blessed to have a lot of good people around me,” Southerland said. “It’s just a blessing and I’m glad I got this far.”

Basketball provided Southerland with an outlet. A place where focus was never an issue.

Jim Southerland said James struggled in a classroom setting as a child, but tested well, which raised red flags. James was tested for learning disabilities, and that’s when he was diagnosed with ADHD. Southerland said it’s not some-

thing that bothers him. With ADHD, Southerland said if he misses five shots, he’s probably not thinking about them when he takes his sixth.

“So you’ve got to take the good with the bad,” Southerland said. “It doesn’t stop me from doing anything.”

Certainly not on the court.

Naclerio knew Southerland was a special player from the first time he saw him shoot. He decided to put Southerland on the varsity roster, where he could push him every day in practice.

As a freshman, he was practicing with players headed to

TWEET OF THE DAY @JoseCanseco: Yes it is true i am dating Tiger Woods.

Team: Creighton Nickname: Bluejays Record: 24-7 (15-3) Conference: Missouri Valley Player to watch:

Marissa Janning Synopsis: The Jays live and die from the 3-point line. Creighton knocks down more than nine 3s per game and ranks 12th in the nation in 3-point percentage.

Its marquee win this year came against then-No. 25 Nebraska back in December.

Janning is one of two players on the team that shoot better than 40 percent from beyond the arc. She started just nine games this season, but is one of the top sixth men in the nation. She led the team in scoring, and her 71 made 3-pointers paced the team.

Syracuse head coach Quentin Hillsman likened the Bluejays to Villanova, a team the Orange struggled with this season. SU fell to the Wildcats twice in the regular season before besting them in the Big East tournament. Both teams are reliant on 3-point shooting, and Syracuse’s experience going up against a team like VU should prepare it for the Jays.
