Illegal student actions limit Warehouse hours By Stephanie Bouvia ASST. NEWS EDITOR

carly reeve | staff photographer Crowds gathered Sunday to watch chefs prepare three meals in 50 minutes for a panel of judges in Goldstein Auditorium. Cooks were challenged to include fennel, a locally grown herb, in their dishes.

After receiving an email Jan. 23 stating The Warehouse will no longer be available to students 24 hours a day due to inappropriate and illegal behavior, Syracuse University design majors held a meeting to discuss a plan of action to get the old hours reinstated. Twenty-one students, including communications design, fashion, and industrial and interaction design majors, gathered in The Warehouse Auditorium at 12:20 p.m. Sam Salzano, a senior communications design major and one of the organizers of the meeting, said she wanted to bring students of different majors together

so everyone understood the situation. “I think we would be more effective in having the hours opened or reinstated if we’re doing something together,” Salzano said. The Warehouse, located at 350 W. Fayette St., is the main location is where design students go to complete art projects. The building is now open to students from 6 a.m. to midnight. Many students said they take advantage of the late-night hours, sometimes even spending the night in the building to finish their work. Many students are worried the shorter hours will affect their academic performance and the quality

Local chefs compete in city’s first Iron Fork event By Anna Hider CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Delicious smells wafted over Goldstein Auditorium on Sunday afternoon. Chefs frantically chopped, stirred, peeled, sliced and cooked with all their might, hoping to win the title of Syracuse’s first Iron Fork Champion. In the end, chef Jason Wright and his team from the Brewster Inn came out on top, winning the customembroidered Iron Fork chef jackets, engraved knives and trophies. The Century Club of Syracuse placed second, and Sysco Syracuse

took the third spot. Local Syracuse restaurants in 12 teams of three had 50 minutes to cook three dishes — an appetizer, entree and dessert — for the panel of three judges, including Food Network star and Central New York native Anne Burrell. The event not only highlighted local foods and chefs, but also a local charity, The Rescue Mission, which feeds the homeless, helped the community in many ways. Anita Leitgeb of the Rescue Mission was very excited about the event, which was the kickoff event to

celebrate the Rescue Mission’s 125th anniversary. “People have been very supportive. It was a lot to put together, but it was well done,” she said. Like Iron Chef America, one of the inspirations for the event, the floor was set up with stations for the chefs. Each of the four stations, which teams used in a staggered rotation to keep moving, had a stove, oven and counter space where chefs worked their culinary magic. Another aspect the event borrowed from Iron Chef America was

Otto receives brighter, more modern look By Liz Sawyer NEWS EDITOR

courtesy syracuse athletics facebook page

Otto the Orange unveiled his new and improved costume to the largest Carrier Dome crowd this season at the men’s basketball game against West Virginia on Saturday. The Syracuse University mascot was rolled onto the court in a box before the game and jumped out to show 28,740

adoring fans his updated look. Otto now flaunts a brighter orange peel, new sneakers, a different hat and blue gloves. The old Otto wore white gloves and a hat with “Syracuse” written in a script typeface, while the new Orange wears a blue hat with just the letter “S” and a Nike symbol on it. Brian Spector, president of the

SU Alumni Association, said he was not involved in the redesign of Otto’s costume but had received a few complaints in the last few months about its appearance. “Costumes get old. After a lot of years they need to be replaced,” Spector said. “I think (the new ones) look pretty cute.”

CRIME BRIEFS • Police cars and fire trucks blocked Euclid Avenue at 4:30 p.m. Sunday after a two-car collision near the corner of Euclid and Sumner Avenue. The front end of a white Honda CR-V with Massachusetts license plates was crushed badly with the bumper hanging off the right side. The other car involved, a red two-door Hyundai with New York license plates, had damage on the driver’s side door and the right front fender. No injuries were reported. Neither the Syracuse police nor either party involved in the accident wished to comment. Fire trucks left Euclid at 4:35 p.m., followed by two police cars at 4:45 p.m. A member from the party with the Honda picked up pieces of glass and plastic off the street. Remnants from the vehicles were scattered on Euclid and the surrounding sidewalks. A tow truck from AAA arrived to retrieve the CR-V at 5:04 p.m. and left the scene at 5:22 p.m. At 5:30 p.m., a tow truck had still not arrived to claim the Hyundai. • Todd Fredenburg, of Bassett Street, was arrested at 7:52 p.m. Saturday on the 1800 block of East Genesee Street, according to a Syracuse Police Department report.

Two teams face off in 2012 Global Game Jam By Tyler Greenawalt CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Within the depths of Huntington Hall, 17 avid gamers spent their entire weekend designing games as part of the 2012 Global Game Jam. Given only minimal resources and a 48-hour deadline, the participants were challenged to design and create games for the worldwide event. Participants split themselves into two groups and went to work, not

knowing what they would be creating or if they could even finish on time. Each year, a theme is presented to the participants of the Global Game Jam, and this year’s theme was depicted by a picture of a snake eating its own tail, also known as the “ouroboros.” The two groups frantically looked up the meaning of the mysterious symbol, and both came up with two different ideas for their games.

The first group created a board game called “Solstice,” where players move around a square board, collecting different items and fighting other players. Eugene Law, a senior environmental resources engineering major at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry and one of the designers for the game, said his group looked up the mythology of the sym-

bol to come up with the idea of a game based on seasons. “We designed a board game based on the dichotomy of the seasons, where winter and summer are at war and mythological creatures fight each other for supremacy,” Law said. The second group created a game called “Orbis,” a digital game in which users can click on stars and planets in space. As the user clicks,

Contemporary artist presents works honoring historical events By Jen Bundy STAFF WRITER

Only one word is needed to describe Shimon Attie’s presentation Thursday night in Watson Theater: memory. The presentation, titled “Memory and Commemoration, as Fact or Fiction,” was a combination of several of Attie’s works paired with personal description, reflection and commentary. Syracuse University and the Col-

lege of Visual and Performing Arts welcomed Attie this fall as the Sandra Kahn Alpert Visiting Artist, who will act as the Jeanette K. Watson Distinguished Visiting Collaborator

UNDER THE SEA

Attie created an abstract piece called “Portrait of Exile” using underwater light boxes. The underwater installation featured nine lightboxes floating about 10 feet underwater.

for the spring 2012 semester, according to a Jan. 17 SU News release. Attie exceeded the typical responsibilities of a visiting collaborator, which usually involves leading a graduate seminar, and personally offered to organize a speaker series on public memory. “He really cuts across the School of Art and Design with his artistic practice and the kinds of issues he works on to connect to all the parts of the college and, for that matter, the

university,” said Kendall Phillips, associate dean of VPA. Attie is a contemporary artist who favors public art installations and multiple-channel video installations, which was the medium for the pieces shown in the presentation. He chose to only display a select few pieces, the first being a project titled “Writing on the Wall.” The project is a series of archived photographs showing Jewish street

of their work. According to the email sent to students, The Warehouse hours were cut because students spray-painted in areas other than the designated spray booths; gained illegal access to space in the building that is not for student use, such as faculty offices; abused various furniture or equipment, including urinating in garbage cans; stealing materials or equipment; bringing or consuming alcohol and other substances in the building; and acting disrespectful to faculty or staff members who asked them to stop doing such activities. “Unfortunately the acts of an increasing number of students are now impacting the lives of all the students who use the building,” said Lucinda Havenhand, chair of the design department, in the letter. Havenhand could not immediately be reached for comment. Students at the meeting were particularly frustrated that all design students are losing work hours because of the acts of a few individuals. “One person has to f**k it up for everyone, and I’m sorry, but if you pee in an office, you should be suspended,” one student said. Salzano suggested starting an online petition to gain support from students and faculty. She also suggested writing a letter on behalf of all design students to the dean of VPA. In the letter, attendees planned to acknowledge there were students who violated the Student Code of Conduct. “Students are not holding themselves accountable,” said Erin Devine, a senior communications design major and another organizer of the meeting. Many students said they were upset about the administration’s handling of the situation because they think the department should have alerted students before taking any action. Devine suggested the students include that in their letter to the dean. “The letter’s not just about a fight,” Devine said. “We want them to handle this in a different manner.” Students agreed there needs to be a system of communication between students and faculty. To work toward action, the students agreed to choose two representatives from each major that utilizes The Warehouse. The students are then hoping to set up a meeting between the representatives, the dean and other faculty members to discuss issues and deliver their letter. After the meeting, Zach Port, a sophomore industrial and interaction design major, said students heard a rumor that The Warehouse hours were being cut before the letter was sent out. But, he said, they weren’t previously warned or alerted by the administration. “It was kind of out of the blue, kind of a shock. They hadn’t ever said anything,” he said. Port said although he hadn’t previously heard about some of the actions listed in the letter, he said he knows there are students who violated the Code of Conduct. “I’d seen people drinking on the floor before,” he said.

Marc Donabella, associate director of athletics and marketing, told The Post-Standard on Saturday that Otto’s makeover was well received by the crowd. Donabella could not immediately be reached for comment. Meg Lane, freshman public relations major, said she really liked the new costume because it is a much brighter, updated look. “The old costume was looking rough around

Of the entire situation, Port said he is mostly upset about the lack of communication between the department and students. “I’m more upset that they didn’t talk to us about anything first,” he said. “... It seems almost disrespectful to us.” Marcos Cantos, a junior communications design major, agreed and said he was shocked when he first read the letter. He said he thought sending it in an email felt impersonal and disrespectful to the students. Cantos, who spends many hours in the evening working on projects, said he is now concerned about producing high-quality work under shortened hours. “I’m most worried about how I’m going to have to change my work habits,” he said. Salzano, one of the meeting organizers, said she was happy with the turnout and more students had shown up than she expected. She said the loss of work hours at The Warehouse is a drastic decision that will affect students academically. The department sets high standards for the students, she said, and if their work hours are cut, they will not be able to live up to those standards. “We won’t be able to maintain that level of achievement if we’re missing the 42 hours a week that they’re taking away,” she said. Salzano said, on average, design students spend 20 hours a week on work. Many of those hours, she said, are between midnight and 6 a.m. She said she has pulled a number of allnighters at The Warehouse herself. The next step for students is to create the online petition and set up a meeting with the dean and other faculty members, Salzano said. “We want to show them we’re adults, and we’re going to handle it,” she said. The Warehouse is important for design students because it houses a lot of major equipment that they can’t take home to complete projects, such as sewing machines, she said. “The rest of the school can go to the library all night and study,” Salzano said, “but we, this is where we have to come. We don’t have a choice.” snbouvia@syr.edu

Building hours were limited due to the following student actions: • Using spray mount or paint in any area other than the basement spray booths. • Gaining illegal access to spaces not designated for student use and using keys that were not for student use, such as closed labs, faculty offices and other locked areas. • Misusing or abusing space, furniture, equipment and other students’ workspace and urinating in waste baskets. • Stealing materials or equipment from the department or other students. • Bringing or using alcohol or other illegal substances in the building. • Being disrespectful and noncompliant to any staff, faculty or fellow student who asked them to stop doing the actions above.

the edges,” Lane said. The block lettering that replaced the old, outdated script typeface was one characteristic Lane said made the costume look much fresher. Mariesa Bittner, a sophomore public health major, agreed with Lane and said the updated look was something she and her boyfriend noticed right away. But the Nike swoosh on Otto’s hat was one aspect of the costume Bittner said she did not care for. She said the logo on the costume seemed like too much advertising for the company and took away from Otto only representing SU. egsawyer@syr.edu

Adding Carr to cabinet good move for Lustig, association At this semester’s first Student Association meeting, President Dylan Lustig appointed Taylor Carr, his former opponent, as chief of staff. The appointment was confirmed by the general assembly. This appointment and the acceptance shows both are dedicated and passionate about the organization. After the election results in November, the candidates called each other. Carr congratulated Lustig, and Lustig told Carr he wanted to work with him in the future. It was unclear whether Carr would return to SA. The appointment of an opponent is a change from recent SA history. Neal Casey and Larry Seivert, presidents of the 55th and 53rd sessions, ran unopposed. Jon Barnhart, president before Casey, did not appoint his opponent to a cabinet position.

EDITORIAL by the daily orange editorial board Carr’s experience with SA and other organizations is impressive. Carr has seen many of the projects he has been involved in from start to finish. With Carr on Lustig’s staff, it is hoped more can be achieved. Lustig will benefit from Carr’s experience. Lustig has built up a strong cabinet already, as both Lustig and Carr proved dedication to SA. By adding someone to his cabinet who ran with different goals in mind, Lustig shows he is willing to hear various viewpoints before making decisions. With the election behind them, Lustig and Carr can focus on a common goal: overall success for the organization.

Supreme Court fails to define free-speech rights of public school students

he Supreme Court decided not to hear two cases on Jan. 17, which could have more clearly defined the free-speech rights of public school students. One of the cases regards a Pennsylvanian eighth-grade student who created a fake Myspace profile of her principal. On the profile, created in 2007, the student made derogatory remarks about the principal. This included that he was a “sex addict” who enjoyed “hitting on students.” When school administrators found the page, the student was suspended for 10 days. Even though the page was created outside of school grounds and hours, the school still punished her. Though the content may have been objectionable, her right to speak freely outside of school hours was maintained by a Court of Appeals. Had the Supreme Court heard the case, the disagreement between different courts could have been cleared

to the left, to the left up. It would offer a clearer interpretation for students and educators. The issue over whether online activity can be punished is widespread. In 2009, a high school student in Connecticut made negative remarks about her principal on her Myspace profile and was forbidden from running for student government. She went to court because she felt her First Amendment rights were violated. The court favored the school. Cases like those in Connecticut and Pennsylvania are only a few in a growing number as students’ access to the internet expands. Rulings are

conflicted in these cases. Those who favor schools’ ability to discipline students for what they do online and at home believe the schools are within their rights. Calling a principal a sex addict could threaten learning or cause disruption in school. Rather than focusing on learning, students could be distracted by their peers. James McGonigle, the principal who was portrayed on the eighthgrader’s Myspace profile in Pennsylvania said he believes there needs to be a court ruling to clarify. “It made me out as a pedophile. If any of those accusations were taken seriously, I would have been put through a wrenching investigation,” McGonigle said in a Los Angeles Times article earlier this month. Not punishing name-calling and destructive comments may suggest it is acceptable. By making school administrations unable to punish

their students’ behaviors online, schools could also be helpless at punishing bullying that happens online. Schools have the right to make sure students follow rules and keep students safe during school hours. When a student is not in school, though, schools should not have the ability to discipline what happens. In many states, students are legally obligated to go to school until a certain age. Students should not have to give up their rights to free speech at the same time. So long as their speech will not directly damage the learning environment, their speech — just as other Americans’ speech — should remain uncensored. Witold Walczak, the legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, said he believes there is a separation between schools and students’ individual lives. “When kids go to school, the parents give up control. But once

the kids leave the school, the parents again are the primary custodians, and have decision-making authority over those kids,” Walczak said in an ABC News online article. Limiting free speech from students threatens the ability for students to criticize their schools. Though what the Pennsylvanian eighth-grader said about her principal could have been more nicely expressed, she has done little to damage the learning process. Though it may seem insignificant to preserve the rights of public school students, their rights to free speech are important. The Supreme Court will eventually need to resolve the conflict between the need to maintain a safe learning environment while not censoring students.

the star or planet will either absorb surrounding objects or explode in an attempt to create a new object. The group used Adobe Photoshop to create the background of the game, as well as 3D modeling software to make the explosions and planets. After the 48-hour deadline passed, the participants, volunteers and judges were allowed to test the games. Annina Ruest and Andy Fedak, two professors in the computer art program at the College of Visual and Performing Arts, were among the judges who observed the games. “It was amazing,” Fedak said. “I was impressed with the quality of work. I wasn’t expecting it to be so good.” Ruest said she was particularly intrigued by the games, as she teaches gaming at Syracuse University. “We were really impressed.” Ruest said. “We’ve judged competitions before, and it was really obvious that both games were really great.”

that every dish created by the local talent had to use the secret ingredient, which was fennel, a locally grown herb. Some of the dishes that the judges sampled were Team Francesca’s Cucina’s shrimp and scallops in a tomato and fennel broth, and Team Sysco Syracuse’s fennel ice cream with a sponge cake and a sabbioni, an Italian sauce. “I’m definitely very excited. It’s stressful, but all in all, it’s fun,” said Kevin Cronin, a member of Team Papa Gallo. Chris Cesta, a chef who was helping provide chefs with extra ingredients in the pantry, agreed the time limit was tight. “But (the time limit) is a big part of a chef’s training and certification,” he said, referring to the level of expertise needed to craft a restaurant worthy dish. Despite the time crunch, Randall Colman, a chef at the Inn Between Restaurant who was helping Team Francesca’s Cucina, thought that the Iron Fork event promoted camaraderie among local chefs, which was apparent through the mingling and chatting of the competitors. “I think all the chefs like getting together,” he said. The dishes presented to the judges weren’t the only thing contributing to the delicious aroma.

life projected onto standing public sites in East Berlin. Attie drew inspiration for the work by walking through East Berlin and feeling a presence of a “lost community with no visual trace.” As an artist, Attie felt he must translate the emotion of the Berlin streets and spent months searching archives from the 1930s. The photograph composition includes images of former Jewish residents in everyday life, taking part in everything from purchasing books to dining at a café, he said. The project was displayed right after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, which sparked a public response Attie described as “very varied and dramatic.” He said he still receives supportive comments when traveling in Europe from people who remember “Writing on the Wall.” “Ideas can live effectively in more than one form,” Attie said. “I wanted to dig beneath the

On Sunday night, the judges voted Orbis as “Most Innovative,” while Solstice won “Best Game Play.” Both games took home the award for “Best Visual Design.” All of the participants and volunteers also voted for their favorite game of the night. Solstice won the “People’s Choice Award” by a narrow margin. “I think we learned a little bit from doing it last year,” said Alan Foley, program coordinator for the instructional technology master’s program. Chris Hanson, assistant professor of English and head faculty organizer for this year’s event, said he was very pleased with the results. “It’s been really amazing to see what people produce in such a short period of time,” Hanson said. While only three participants from last year’s event returned, the gamers this year said they really enjoyed their time and look forward to coming back to next year’s Global Game Jam. “I wasn’t expecting to have this much fun,” said Law, one of the “Solstice” designers. “But I’d definitely do it again, and I would tell all my friends to come.” tagreena@syr.edu

Guests who had floor tickets tasted a wide variety of food samples from local restaurants. Everything from cheese and wine to dainty desserts and exotic appetizers, like a chicken satay with peanut sauce, were available for sampling. Craig Brooks of Coffee Mania, a local coffee roaster who attended the event, gave out samples of his coffee and espresso while enjoying the competition. “It’s really cool,” he said. “Hopefully they keep on doing it.” Syracuse University was represented by the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics, which helped put on the event. Chef Chris Uyehara, the professor of the university’s pastry class, showed off some of the treats they made. One of the highlights of the pastry class’s decadent dessert table was a hollowed out strawberry filled with a green, basil-infused caviar, which was created using molecular gastronomy. “It’s the kind of thing you would see on the Food Network,” Uyehara said. The Iron Fork Competition focused on local talent and ingredients, but it was also important to the culinary world in general. Chef Cesta summed it up: “The best chefs in America used to be European, but this is American chefs using local ingredients,” he said. “We have young chefs being inspired by competitions like this.” amhider@syr.edu

outer surfaces and reveal the history buried beneath.” Attie’s next large project was to create a temporary memorial in Copenhagen to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. Attie took an abstract route that had never been done before: underwater light boxes. This underwater installation featured nine light boxes floating about 10 feet underwater in Copenhagen’s Borsgraven Canal, he said. Attie recently won a contest to design a memorial for fallen police officers in San Francisco. The project, scheduled to open in 2014, is still in the early design processes, he said. But Attie did present the first publicly seen designs for the memorial, which consists of a large glass cylinder leading to skylight. Attie’s presentation of “Memory and Commemoration, as Fact or Fiction” continues Feb. 9 with James Young, a prominent scholar on public commemoration and a juror for the World Trade Center Site Memorial competition. jbundy@syr.edu

skeletal structure surrounded by backhoes, cranes and building materials reside beside the Carrier Dome. This site will become SUNY-ESF’s Gateway Building, which will be a focal point of campus with a cafeteria, conference rooms and an exercise facility. Because of the building’s efficiency, with its ability to generate enough power for four additional campus buildings, the structure has become one of the topics discussed at the upcoming 10th annual New York State Green Building Conference. The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry is partnering with the New York Upstate chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council to host the conference that will be held March 29-30 at the Syracuse Oncenter. The Green Building Advocate of the Year award is a vital feature of this conference. Tracie Hall, a member of the advisory council for the award and executive director of the New York Upstate chapter of U.S. Green Build-

ing Council, said in an email that the award and conference “focus exclusively on green building — the practice of designing, constructing, operating and maintaining structures in a way that improves human health and productivity while reducing the use of resources.” Katherina Searing, the new associate director for professional education and noncredit programs at ESF, is working with the nominations for the 2012 Green Advocate of the Year award. She said the recipients are usually established in the green building field and include architects and past directors or presidents of the U.S. Green Building Council. She said she believes the recipients can set noble examples for students concerned about the environment. “They could serve as role models for students because they have been advocates for green building throughout their careers,” Searing said. Searing mentioned Hall as a role model example. Hall received the first Green Building Advocate of the Year award in 2006 for constructing the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certified building in Syracuse. LEED is an internationally renowned

mark of excellence that measures building environmental designs, constructions and operations, according to the Green Building Council website. Windows that minimize heating and cooling costs and the use of concrete recycled from a demolition are aspects of Hall’s building that allow it to qualify for the LEED certification, according to the Enable website, the company that uses the building and offers individualized services for children and adults with disabilities. Anyone interested in promoting sustainable building practices can vote for the individual they believe is most deserving of this year’s honor by visiting the NYS Green Building Conference website. “We believe it is important to highlight someone in our region or the nation that is working for reusing materials or creating structures and buildings that are using less energy and a safer working environment,” Searing said. Although voting for the Green Building Advocate of the Year will soon close, voting for a sustainable building that will be pictured on a

poster given out for free to conference attendees will stay open, Searing said. One-day student tickets for the conference are $35 and two-day tickets are $65, Searing said. In celebration of the 10th year of the conference, ESF’s Green Construction Group is also demonstrating student involvement by making a three-minute tribute video that will touch on the history of the conference and the award. Vincent Bonomi, senior at ESF and president of the Green Construction Group, said in an email that the video will underscore some significant sustainable buildings around the state, including the ESF Gateway Building and possibly the new World Trade Center in New York City. “We often only give people credit for building the biggest thing or the most expensive thing,” Searing said. “This is a way of highlighting someone who is not only creating beautiful and different structures, but who is doing so in a way that is more environmental and ecofriendly.” smhazlit@syr.edu

For fashion aficionados, runway no longer only venue for viewing pleasure

ashion people are, or at least should be, very much accustomed to waiting for what they want. Cases in point: Marc Jacobs’ refusal to start his fashion shows on time and a meet-and-greet with the Olsen twins at Fashion’s Night Out. But when “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” opened at the Metropolitan Museum last summer, it spawned the mother-of-all-fashion waits. A total of 5,100 people saw the show on May 4, its first day. On an ordinary Friday in July, I arrived a half-hour before the opening of the museum to a line of more than 200 people outside its doors. This popularity prompted the Met to extend

not my natural hair color the show an extra week. Six-hour lines formed, and 80,000 people flooded the show in those seven days alone. Riding on this success, McQueen’s representatives announced in late August their plans to take the show to London, McQueen’s hometown.

So what made “Savage Beauty” so special? It could have been McQueen’s suicide in February 2010, which rocked the fashion world and cast light on the immense pressure the industry puts on designers. Or maybe it was the chance to glimpse into the mind of a tortured yet incredibly talented artist, who used apparel to transform the body into something simultaneously grotesque and beautiful. And one can’t forget the 10-inch heels resembling armadillo feet that played a prominent role in one of Lady Gaga’s most famous music videos, “Bad Romance.” They had a place of honor at the end of the exhibit. But fashion as display-worthy art is not exactly a new concept. Since the Met opened the Costume Institute in 1946, it has showcased exhibits of designers both classic and contemporary, such as Coco Chanel, Vivienne Westwood; icons of fashion, such as Jackie Kennedy; and multifaceted displays centered on a single theme, like the symbolism of superhero costumes. Even the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University holds a fashion exhibit every semester, and in the past, it has showcased early 20th-century designs and original Christian Dior pieces from the 1940s. The four-month run of “Savage Beauty” brought a whopping 661,509 people through the Met’s doors, placing it on the museum’s top 10 list of most-viewed shows after exhibits like “Treasures of Tutankhamen,” with 1,360,957, and the “Mona Lisa,” with 1,077,521. One thing’s clear: Fashion has finally become more accessible to the masses. Fashion shows are streamed live online and each individual

look is available on websites like Style.com immediately afterward. Museum exhibitions are taking this one step further by bringing the designs previously relegated to a computer screen to people who would never have had a chance to see and experience them otherwise. Now museums are jumping at the chance to bank on the popularity of “Savage Beauty.” The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology did an exhibit on couture goddess Daphne Guinness, featuring a number of McQueen pieces. According to fashion news website Fashionista. com, even more exhibits are slated for 2012, featuring designers like Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin and Marc Jacobs and spanning the globe from Denver to London and Paris. The most anticipated event is the Costume Institute’s next exhibit, “Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada: On Fashion.” According to an article in Women’s Wear Daily, the show will draw parallels between the two very different designers, who designed over 40 years apart, and outline their influences on fashion today. The popularity of “Savage Beauty” and the rise in costume exhibits appear to have reawakened an appreciation for fashion as an art form. This is one of the first steps in shifting the public’s perception of fashion. Maybe now it will be viewed as a form of artistic expression and not just a frivolous pastime for the rich and famous. In the meantime, I’m going to book my flight to the U.K. for next year’s McQueen exhibit. One can never enjoy a good show too many times, especially when feathers — and lace and sparkles — are involved. Julie Kosin is a sophomore magazine journalism major. Her column appears occasionally.

the sweet stuff in the middle

Sea legs B

By Ian Simon-Curry STAFF WRITER

ig personalities, star-crossed lovers and an exotic location — these classic ingredients for a dramatic musical comedy combined wonderfully in the Syracuse Opera Theater’s production of “The Gondoliers.” The operetta, a short opera with spoken dialogue, was presented Jan. 27-29 in Rose and Jules R. Setnor Auditorium by a cast of Syracuse University students. They worked on the show since September 2011, said Jackie Dickson, the show’s public relations director. Those months of preparation certainly paid off. The performers brought the operetta to life with great comedic timing and passionate singing, seeming as happy as their characters. The show tells the story of two Venetian gondoliers, Marco and Giuseppe, who find their lives suddenly complicated by the events of their past. The two have just married their young wives when the Spanish Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro arrive in Venice with shocking news. One of the gondoliers was married as a baby to their daughter and is actually the King of Barataria. To further complicate the matter, it is revealed that the Grand Inquisitor of Spain Don Alhambra abducted the infant king and brought him to Venice. But Alhambra, who has not seen him in years, is unsure of which gondolier is the king. The gondoliers depart for Barataria to rule together, leaving their wives in Venice. Meanwhile, Luiz departs to fetch his mother, Inez, to verify his identity. Inez, who was the prince’s nursemaid, arrives. She reveals that to protect the infant prince from abduction, she swapped her baby son with the prince and raised him as her own. Luiz, everyone realizes, is the prince.

Lively actors keep operetta afloat despite rocky sets, lighting Played by Anthony Beattie and Tevin Habeebullah, the gondolier duo appeared a bit unbalanced. Habeebullah seemed more comfortable onstage, and Beattie’s singing occasionally sounded strained. But in general, the cast was wonderfully at ease throughout the show, even during the well-choreographed dance numbers. Supporting these singers was a pared-down ensemble of musicians from the SU Symphony Orchestra. Led by James Welsch, the pit orchestra stirred up drama and exhilaration at important moments in the story. The show’s overture featured a masterful solo by oboist Philomena Duffy, and the string section’s tension-filled tremolos amplified the dramatic moment when Luiz’s true identity was revealed. Joining the student cast were SU alumna Shannon Garvey as the Duchess of Plaza-Toro and faculty guest artists Eric Johnson as Don Alhambra and Carolyn Weber as Inez. Johnson’s booming baritone and dominant stage presence suited his powerful character well. And although Weber appeared onstage for barely five minutes, her singing in the operetta’s pivotal scene kept the audience transfixed. The production fell short in some ways, probably a result of it being put on by students with minimal resources. Messily painted flats composed the majority of the set, and the show’s lighting, though effective at times, was poorly timed. In addition, the skill of the singers varied. This was most evident in duet sections, when out-of-tune harmonies distracted from the song’s effect. But such shortcomings are to be expected from a student production, and the cast’s overall enthusiasm throughout made the show a success. It was evident that every performer was happy to be onstage, and that joy was communicated to the audience. insimonc@syr.edu

Platformer game takes flight, blurs line between dreams, memory

By Joshua Rivera CONTRIBUTING WRITER

t’s disconcerting how similar dreams and memories can be. Some dreams, like some memories, can be clearly recalled — every detail clear and vivid. Sometimes all that’s left of our dreams or memories are just fragments. A phrase, a color, a room in which someone you loved would always sit and read. And sometimes, those fragments of dreams and memories bleed together. “Alight (in dreams)” is an online game about this — the space where memories and dreams merge to form an emotional tapestry of one young man’s life. The player assumes the role of a nameless protagonist who finds himself reflecting on his life through a dream. He unfurls wings and soars through scenes of his life depicting watershed moments and growing insecurities. As a game, there isn’t much to “Alight.” There are no real puzzles to solve or foes to defeat. It’s a platformer, a game requiring the player to jump from platform to platform or over obstacles. In “Alight,” you have limited flight — you can soar upwards by flapping your angel-like wings a few times and then glide the rest of the way until your stamina runs out. The primary challenge is navigating from the starting point, usually a door that leads from the last dream-memory, to an end point. There you’ll find a clock, a candle and a feather. Choose one, and you’ll have to make it back to where you started, but your choice will affect the challenge of your return trip. The sky glows red, darkens and closes in around you to form a deadly maze. At its most basic, that’s all “Alight (in dreams)” really is: a maze. But what makes it worthwhile is its remarkably con-

structed atmosphere. The world of “Alight” is sparse, evoking half-remembered dreams and fragments of memories. Leaping from the door of your character’s childhood home suspended in the skies of his dreams, you’ll land on a basketball court. It’s also in the sky, painted in your character’s subconscious. The designs of the levels are minimal and fragmentary but with purpose: That’s how we remember our lives. Even the game’s seemingly trivial choice at the midpoint of each of its seven chapters — candle, feather or clock — is given remarkable weight through the unfolding narrative. That story, more than anything, is what compels the player to keep playing. Bittersweet, the protagonist ruminates on snapshots of his life one line at a time, fed in fragmented parts to the player by smoke markers in plain sight. It’s worth mentioning that “Alight (in dreams)” is a browser game. Browser games used to be the domain of mindless middle school diversions, at best offering levels of stimulation like “Tetris.” They are now fertile grounds for artistic, emotional statements like “Alight.” Although the format causes limitations — you won’t find any high-definition graphics here, and there is only one song on the soundtrack, although it is a beautiful one — “Alight” embraces those limitations to create a distinct aesthetic. “Alight” captures the feeling of flying and falling that comes when you don’t know if you’re awake or dreaming. It’s soaring because you’re back at a place you loved, and it’s sinking because you did something horrible there. It’s how it feels when you realize that sometimes waking up is the most terrifying part of the night. jmrive02@syr.edu

SU earns 1st win of season against SJU

By Kevin Prise STAFF WRITER

After its first two matches this season, Syracuse wasn’t satisfied. It felt it could have won both, but let good opportunities slip away. Head coach Luke Jensen even said his players were embarrassed to tell family and they were 0-2. SYRACUSE 7 friends Syracuse needed to ST. JOHN’S 0 find a way to break out of its slump quickly. The Orange took out this resentment on St. John’s on Friday night, jumping all over the Red Storm in a 7-0 victory in front of 121 at Drumlins Tennis Center. Aggressive play proved to be the perfect antidote for the team’s struggles, and this up-tempo style existed across all matches. The Red Storm (0-1, 0-1 Big East) never managed to take control, with the Orange (2-2, 1-1) refusing to allow easy points, and rarely made any easy returns. Syracuse completed the weekend with a 7-0 sweep at Buffalo (1-2) on Sunday, reaching the .500 mark on the season. After those season-opening losses, SU made a complete reversal of its play. “We try to play fast,” Jensen said. “We try to play up-tempo as fast as possible. The aggressiveness of our style really landed a lot of punches and did all the damage.” Against St. John’s, freshman Komal Safdar doggedly chased balls around the court and refused to let her opponent outwork her on any single point. Safdar earned her first collegiate victory after she was humbled in straight sets last week. Safdar said she knows putting heat on the ball was important, especially at the collegiate level, where all players are proficient at returning serves.

CINCINNATI F ROM PAGE 16

handed Syracuse (13-9, 2-6 Big East) a crushing 55-54 defeat in front of 817 in the Carrier Dome on Saturday. The Orange battled back to take its first lead of the second half with less than two minutes left and held a one-point advantage going into the final minute, but SU couldn’t close out the game. A costly turnover with 28 seconds remaining gave Cincinnati (10-11, 1-7) one last chance, setting the scene for Reaves’ game-winning basket. The Orange trailed for nearly 26 consecutive minutes until Iasia Hemingway’s pull-up in transition put Syracuse ahead 52-50 with 1:50 left. With the game knotted at 50-50, Syracuse stayed active as Cincinnati swung the ball around the top of the key with no open looks. When UC guard Kayla Cook caught the ball at the top of the key with two seconds left on the shot clock, Syracuse guard Elashier Hall took the ball from her to start a fast break that ended with Hemingway’s big shot from just beyond the left block. “We just took every possession like it was our last,” Hemingway said. “We just came out and were just hustling and trying to outwork them. And it came down to who wanted the

carly reeve | staff photographer ALEAH MARROW winds up for a return in SU’s match against St. John’s. She won the No. 5 singles match 6-0, 6-2 and took No. 2 doubles 8-3 with Maddie Kobelt. “Anyone can hit a ball a hundred times in the court,” Safdar said. “We try to dictate the play. We try to control the ball. That’s how we win in the end.” While Safdar took control of her match on her court, sophomore Maddie Kobelt did the same on another. Kobelt won her first set 6-0 and produced hard returns that kept her opponent, Ece Firat, in a defensive mindset. The Orange controlled the tempo on all courts and kept St. John’s players from gaining momentum. At times, the Red Storm could barely return serves aside from weak lobs that the Orange could easily spike. By staying aggressive, the Orange stayed in control and won all of its matches in straight sets. After not being able to gain control in those first two matches, Syracuse entered this weekend intent on doing so through aggression against St. John’s. Sophomore Aleah Marrow won her match 6-0, 6-2, generating the same hard returns that made it difficult for her opponent to pose much of a challenge. “With a team like St. John’s that plays at a slower pace, we try to keep the energy up,” Marrow said. “That’s intensity, and that’s what we came out here and did.”

Walking off the court after her easy victory, Marrow had a clear bounce in her step. Kobelt’s match was a microcosm of the Orange’s efforts. All match long, Kobelt was driving the ball into the backcourt, forcing Firat to use significantly more energy. By the end of the match, it was clear Firat could not match the power that Kobelt was generating, and Kobelt won 6-0, 6-2. Kobelt, Marrow and senior Alessondra Parra all won their first sets 6-0, setting the tone quickly. Parra’s returns were consistent, and her sense of control allowed her to stay aggressive without making pivotal mistakes. Jensen talked about confidence being a team strength despite the early setbacks. This confidence translated into the intensity on the court, and Jensen feels that the effort shown in practice carried over to the match. By staying aggressive and playing at an up-tempo pace, the Orange made sure the losing streak ended at two. “I like the way we responded after two straight losses,” Jensen said. “It’s hard to tell our own fans that we’re 0-2. Now our fans see that we’re a good team, and we’re landing punches.”

50-50 balls and who wanted it more.” But the defense broke down on the next possession, leaving Cook — who led the Bearcats with 14 points — all alone in the left corner for one of her four 3s to give her team a 53-52 lead. Still, SU responded when Hall hit a tough pull-up from the right wing to retake the lead 54-53 with 1:31 left. Hillsman urged his team to get a defensive stop, running out to the Carrier sticker on the court near the SU bench to wave them to get up on shooters. The ball ended up in Cook’s hands again on the right wing with two seconds on the shot clock. But she was blanketed by the SU zone and missed long off the rim out of bounds with 40 seconds left. At that point, Hillsman felt his team had the game won. The Orange held possession and all it had to do was hold onto the ball and knock down free throws. “I was thinking we were going to win the basketball game actually,” Hillsman said. “Because once we got the ball inbounds, the only thing that could have gone wrong is what went wrong.” What went wrong let Cincinnati back into the game. Following an Orange timeout, SU guard Phylesha Bullard received the inbounds pass and was

immediately surrounded by Cincinnati defenders and turned it over with 28 seconds remaining. “Sometimes freak accidents happen and things like that happen,” SU guard Carmen Tyson-Thomas said. “It’s an end-of-the-game play. It’s erratic at the end of the moment. I mean things happen.” After the late-game gaffe by Bullard, SU burned its two fouls to leave the Bearcats with 16 seconds for its final possession. Reaves received the ball on a kickout on the left wing and made her move, dribbling right toward the foul line. She let go of her off-balance shot, throwing the ball at the rim, and it dropped through the net. Reaves jumped in the air and gave a fist pump after the shot as her teammates on the bench leapt out of their seats. They didn’t sit down and the celebration began after time ran out as Hemingway tried to get off a last-second heave from half court. “It’s just one of those things. The kid made a tough shot,” Hillsman said. “I thought that was probably one of our better defensive possessions late clock we had all game, and she took a contested shot going away from the basket. “So I give her a lot of credit for making the shot.”

SYRACUSE vs WEST VIRGINIA 3

BIG NUMBER

The turnover margin between Syracuse and West Virginia, one of the biggest keys to SU’s victory. The Orange forced 17 turnovers and coughed the ball up just six times.

HERO

Brandon Triche Triche was the catalyst for the Syracuse offense Saturday, scoring 18 points, including 12 in the second half. He also got out on Darryl Bryant as he attempted a go-ahead 3 in the final minute, forcing a poor shot.

ZERO Deniz Kilicli

Kilicli did good work in getting Syracuse’s bigs into foul trouble, but he couldn’t convert it into points. He finished with five points, shot 2-of-10 from the field and a putrid 1-of-5 from the free-throw line.

FAT LADY SINGS 0:00, second half

West Virginia forward Kevin Jones’ fall-away 3-point attempt at the buzzer clanked off the back of the rim as time expired, preserving SU’s 63-61 victory over the Mountaineers.

Orange throughout the game, and it allowed West Virginia to nearly pull off the upset. “We’re getting good looks,” head coach Jim Boeheim said. “I don’t think James (Southerland) can get better looks at 3 than he got. Scoop’s were good. Brandon’s were good. Dion’s were wide open. We’ve got to make some of those because we’re going to get beat on the boards a little bit. But we’ve got to make some of those shots.” The struggles from long range started on SU’s second possession of the game. Jardine shook his defender with a crossover and pulled up for an open 3 from the top of the key. But the jumper bounced off the rim and West Virginia grabbed the rebound. SU didn’t take another 3 for nearly five minutes before Jardine knocked down his second attempt of the game. But the Orange missed its next eight tries from beyond the arc. Southerland, Waiters, Jardine and Joseph all missed two triples in that span before Jardine finally knocked one down just before halftime. “At the end of the day, if you miss 10 straight, you’ve got to continue shooting,” Waiters said. “That’s what we’re going to do. Every night is not going to be a great shooting night for us. But we’ve got to continue to keep shooting.” The Orange’s shooting issues date back to the start of Big East play. Entering the game

against West Virginia, Syracuse was 12th in the conference at 31.4 percent shooting from beyond the arc. In its last three games, including the win Saturday, SU is just 14-of-55 from deep for a measly 25.5 percent. “It’s open shots,” Triche said. “We’re lining them up and just not hitting them. They look like they’re going in. They’re hitting back rim. We’re just going to keep shooting them.” Triche was the only Orange player to have a good night from deep. He didn’t take a 3 in the first half but knocked down his first try just 40 seconds after halftime on a pull-up shot. Like Jardine in the first half, Triche was the only one to hit a 3 in the second. But even though he went 2-of-4 on the night, his two misses also came on good looks. Boeheim said after the game that he didn’t see a bad shot taken of the 20 3s SU attempted. Southerland said those looks typically go down in practice. But after a shooting performance like that, combined with a 41-20 rebounding disadvantage, he also said the Orange was lucky to come away with a win. As for solving the shooting issues, the Syracuse players agreed the answer is simple: just keep putting shots up, and eventually, they will start to fall. “It’s going to come,” Waiters said. “That’s the best thing about it. You’re not going to always play a great game. You’re not going to always do good. If two or three of them shots went down, it’s a different story. But they didn’t and we still won.” zjbrown@syr.edu

WVU dominates SU on glass; Triche carries Orange offense By Zach Brown and Mark Cooper THE DAILY ORANGE

In Jim Boeheim’s mind, Syracuse’s difficulties on the glass cannot be attributed to the absence of 7-foot center Fab Melo. It isn’t about any deficiencies down low with his big men. Instead, the head coach feels that his guards should be held responsible for the 21-rebound edge that West Virginia had against the Orange on Saturday. “It’s not the center position,” Boeheim said. “Everybody’s going to look at that. Fab was averaging six rebounds per game. It’s the other positions. Our guards got two rebounds tonight. In our defense, guards have to get some rebounds.” No. 3 SU (22-1, 9-1 Big East) managed to pull out a 63-61 win over the Mountaineers (15-7, 5-4) Saturday in the Carrier Dome, but the Orange felt fortunate to come out of the game with a victory. West Virginia outrebounded Syracuse 41-20 in the game, including a 24-11 edge in the second half. And while some may believe the cause lies with the absence of Melo in the middle, the Orange agreed with their head coach that the problem stems from the guard positions. “When Fab’s down there, he usually controls it a little bit more than the other guys,” junior guard Brandon Triche said. “… But a lot of the balls went around the foul line or under the foul line. Those are rebounds the guards can get.” By the first media timeout at the 15:40 mark, SU had hauled in just one rebound, while the Mountaineers’ had grabbed six. West Virginia’s aggressiveness on the boards intensified as the game went on. Near the 11-minute mark of the second half, Kevin

Jones hauled in an errant Darryl Bryant 3-pointer on the right side and went up with a putback. That rolled off the rim, but Jones was there to clean up his own miss and finished with a layup. Later in the half, the Mountaineers had one possession that lasted more than 98 seconds thanks to three offensive rebounds, though it ended with a missed jumper. “I think we need to talk more,” sophomore center Baye Keita said. “Everybody needs to crash the boards. Other teams send all five of them every night. We just need to be smarter with that.” The game almost went to overtime when Mountaineers forward Deniz Kilicli caught a Bryant air ball under the basket and went up for the putback with eight seconds left. Keita swatted the ball away, although replays showed the ball hit the backboard before Keita got to it and should have been ruled goaltending. Those two points would have knotted the game at 63-63. The rebounding discrepancy throughout the game came mainly in the guard spot. SU’s trio of Dion Waiters, Scoop Jardine and Triche hauled in one rebound between the three of them, while WVU’s three guards grabbed five rebounds apiece. “We’re just not doing a good job on the boards,” Boeheim said. “We haven’t really all year, but these last two games, Notre Dame in particularly and this game. … It’s really about our guards and forwards doing a better job rebounding the ball. That’s imperative for us.”

Triche steps up When Syracuse was searching for offense,

SU is 2-1 in his absence. Brandon Triche became the answer. Five straight points early in the second half put SU ahead 33-27, forcing WVU head coach Bob Huggins to burn a timeout. Later, with the Orange now trailing by two, Triche buried a 3 and then hit a jumper in transition, boosting SU to a 52-49 lead with 6:16 to go. “I thought Brandon was great,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “He made some huge plays for us, really stepped up.” Triche came two points away from his season-high, leading Syracuse with 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting. The junior guard went 2-of-4 from the arc, with both baskets coming in those personal five-point spurts. He also hit the two free throws that put Syracuse ahead 63-61 with 1:28 to go, a score that held

for the final 90 seconds. With Waiters struggling for the third straight game — a 2-of-9 performance, making him 7-of-28 in the last three games — Triche took it upon himself much of the time. This was an aggressive performance from the junior, so it made sense that he remained on the court for the final minutes, as Boeheim looked to play his strongest five. He made a key play in those final moments, contesting Darryl Bryant’s game-tying 3-point attempt. “It felt pretty good,” Triche said of his whole performance. “It didn’t matter if I was taking shots. I just wanted to get a shot for the team.” zjbrown@syr.edu mcooperj@syr.edu

clanked off the back of the rim, and No. 3 Syracuse hung on for a 63-61 win over WVU in front of 28,740 in the Carrier Dome on Saturday. The Mountaineers (15-7, 5-4 Big East) put on a display on the boards, outrebounding SU 41-20, but the Orange (22-1, 9-1) did just enough to hang on for its second straight win, challenging all three shots WVU took in the final seconds. “I think we handled it well,” Brandon Triche said. “We won, that’s all that counts.” Syracuse forced 17 turnovers, but WVU’s plus-21 rebounding margin allowed the Mountaineers to stay in it. Neither team led by more than six the whole way. For the final 11:08, no lead swelled larger than three. Triche drew a foul in the lane and made a pair of free throws, putting SU up 63-61 with 1:28 to go. Less than a minute later, Dion Waiters missed a floater with a chance to make it a twopossession game. Kilicli rebounded the ball, and Huggins called a timeout with 26.5 seconds left. On the ensuing possession, Gary Browne found Bryant on the left wing. Bryant — who scored all 12 of his points in the second half — had Triche in his face, but he fired the shot from right next to the WVU bench with eight seconds left. The 6-foot-9, 260-pound Kilicli anticipated the shot falling short and boxed out and manhandled Joseph — who at 50 pounds lighter looked petite in comparison — to engulf the rebound. The replay showed Kilicli’s shot hitting glass, then Keita’s right hand, then the glass again. Goaltending. “Every time I go block a shot I think positively,” said Keita, who played the final 4:58 with four fouls after entering for Rakeem Christmas, who fouled out. “If I get a piece of it, that’s a block. If you call goaltending, that’s goaltending.

“So I went for it and that’s when he called a block, so I can’t say nothing about it.” The whistles remained silent to the chagrin of WVU’s players and coaches. Kilicli looked mortified as he backed up the court, hands raised in disbelief. Keita came down with the rebound and the game, for a moment, seemed to be in hand for SU. He took one dribble and handed off to Joseph — a 78 percent free-throw shooter. But the senior forward never caught the ball. It deflected off his hands, off his legs and out of bounds with six seconds left. “(Joseph) just has to hold the ball and the game’s over,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said. “I don’t know what he was thinking about.” New life for West Virginia. Huggins called timeout, but the tension of the moments before may have been an untimely distraction. Meanwhile, after feeling like it had just won the game, save for a mishandled pass, Syracuse had to make another stop. “You just don’t want them to get any 3s,” Joseph said. “If anything, we were going to take overtime, so we didn’t want them to finish the game out, and that was basically the message that was given to us.” The inbounds went to Kilicli inside, and he quickly fed Jabarie Hinds on the perimeter. Hinds — just like Huggins said he wanted — drove toward the hoop, hoping to draw the defense in so he could dish to Jones. But SU forward C.J. Fair didn’t bite. He stayed out on Jones and contested the fall-away 3, watching it hit the rim as SU survived the battle — thanks in part to a favorable call at the rim seconds earlier. “If (Hinds) would have faked, then he would have got me,” Fair said. “But luckily I got the — I don’t know how much my play affected the shot or not, but I was there.” mcooperj@syr.edu

CLOSING OUT

Tight defense in final moments helps Syracuse to win over WVU By Mark Cooper

SPORTS EDITOR

eniz Kilicli positioned himself perfectly to tie the game. And he very well may have. As Darryl Bryant’s go-ahead 3-point attempt fell short, the West Virginia center corralled the rebound. Basket in sight, he went back up with eight seconds to go, down two. From the other side of the hoop, Syracuse center Baye Keita, in desperation, flew up to tip the ball away — after it had already hit the backboard. Yet there was no whistle for goaltending. Kilicli threw his hands up in bewilderment, but nothing changed. West Virginia remained in position for the final six seconds after the ball went out of bounds, but it could no longer make the desired effort to tie or

win the game. “It’s hard to get them back refocused after that happened,” WVU head coach Bob Huggins said. “Did I think it was (goaltending)? No. No, I know it was. I just saw the replay.” The controversial call amplified the tension between Syracuse and West Virginia in Saturday’s final moments. Following the block, Kris Joseph lost the ball out of bounds, giving the Mountaineers one more chance to tie or win the game. But Huggins said he wasn’t even sure if WVU ran exactly what he wanted, with the team in a state of confusion and exasperation following the missed call.

Orange overcomes poor 3-point shooting in win By Zach Brown STAFF WRITER

andrew renneisen | staff photographer C.J. FAIR contests a potential game-winning 3-pointer from West Virginia’s Kevin Jones in the final seconds of Saturday’s game. The Orange held on for the 63-61 victory in front of 28,740 in the Carrier Dome.

As Dion Waiters’ free throw rattled around the rim and out, the sophomore guard’s frustration finally boiled over. He turned around, bent down and slapped the Carrier Dome floor with both hands as he stepped off the line. Another look for Syracuse that just refused to drop. “I was mad,” Waiters said. “It went in and out. It was crazy. I was kind of frustrated because I don’t miss foul shots. In a game like that,

SU loses to Cincinnati on shot in final seconds By Ryne Gery

ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

As the buzzer sounded and the backboard lit up to signal the end of the game, CINCINNATI 55 the celebraSYRACUSE 54 tion on the Cincinnati

sidelines began. Already on their feet after Bearcats forward Bjonee Reaves hit a contested desperation heave from the free-throw line with 2.5 seconds left — hanging in the air and falling away from the basket — half the Cincinnati players smothered head coach Jamelle Elliot

while the other half sprinted to mob Reaves with hugs near half court. As the Bearcats shared the emotional embraces on the Carrier Dome floor, the Syracuse players watched patiently on the sideline — victims of a one-point loss on the game’s final possession.

“At the end of the day, I mean the shot she made was running away from the basket, double-pump, one-handed shot,” SU head coach Quentin Hillsman said. “It was just a shot. She made a play.” That shot in the final seconds

you want to make every shot. You want to try to be perfect.” No. 3 SU (22-1, 9-1 Big East) was far from perfect on the offensive end in its 63-61 win over West Virginia (15-7, 5-4) Saturday in the Carrier Dome. Despite multiple open looks on the perimeter, the Orange shot just 4-of-20 from 3-point range. Five SU players took at least three 3-pointers in the game. Three of them failed to connect on any of their looks, while Scoop Jardine went 2-of-6 and Brandon Triche went 2-of-4. That appeared to frustrate the
