The Committee on Budget and Fiscal Affairs presented a report to Syracuse University faculty and administrators during Wednesday’s University Senate meeting in Maxwell Auditorium. Sinéad Mac Namara, the chair of the budget committee, gave a brief presentation of the report and answered questions from faculty Wednesday. The report noted funding concerns at the Slutzker Center for International Services. Here are three other key takeaways from the report.

Research funding

Vice President for Research Zhanjiang “John” Liu has met with the Senate’s budget committee to outline the university’s strengths and weaknesses in terms of research, according to the report. Overall, Liu found that SU has strong basic and applied research, but needs to improve its translational research, according to the report. Liu told the committee the university should expand its funding portfolio. According to the report, SU receives about $6 million in foundation and industry support grants each year. That’s a low level, per the report. SU also receives fewer grants from mission-oriented funding agencies than its peer institutions. While SU’s Research 1 designation is “very positive,” and will allow for the recruitment and retention of quality faculty, per the report, the university is vulnerable in its ranking. “Continued growth of the research enterprise must be achieved,” the report states. The budget committee also noted a concern that the vice president for research has historically been “very modestly funded.” The committee in the report recommended SU ensure the office of the vice president for research is adequately staffed and resourced. “Retention of R1 status is a critical goal that will be difficult to achieve without the appropriate research infrastructure,” the report states.

Veterans affairs

The Institute for Veterans and Military Families, which serves tens of thousands of veterans, has “grown very rapidly in recent years,” per the report. The committee recommended that Mike Haynie, vice chancellor of strategic initiatives and innovation, address the Senate or hold an open forum to share more information about the IVMF with the SU community. Haynie is the IVMF’s see usen page 6

Protesters delivered a check for “Thoughts and Prayers” to Rep. John Katko’s (R-Camillus) office, worth zero dollars, because “that is the only thing he’s been able to offer in lieu of action on gun violence,” protester Donna Oppedisano said. About 20 people gathered in front of Katko’s office in downtown Syracuse on Wednesday, carrying signs and the giant check to protest Katko’s resistance to some gun restrictions after a teenager shot and killed 17 people on Valentine’s Day at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. William Happy, a representative for Swingleft.org, a leftleaning nonprofit organization, coordinated the protest as part of a week-long demonstration against Katko. There was also a protest on Tuesday and there will be another Thursday outside of Katko’s office. The Tuesday protest had about half the turnout of Wednesday’s, he said. Protesters on Wednesday chanted, “What do we want? Gun control! When do we want it? Now!” and “Katko must go!” One rally attendee called Katko’s office, asking if they could come up to the space along South Warren Street to deliver the check.

We are in desperate need of serious changes around our gun laws. Caroline Sheffield katko protester

University Senate budget report released Wednesday afternoon noted concerns about the Slutzker Center for International Services’ budget remaining “stagnant,” while international student enrollment has increased by more than 130 percent in the past 11 years. The report was presented by the Committee on Budget and Fiscal Affairs on Wednesday during the Senate’s monthly meeting in Maxwell Auditorium. “The Center’s stagnant budget is a major area of concern for the committee,” the

The congressman’s staff did not allow the protesters into Katko’s office, and he wasn’t there. But they allowed the demonstrators to stay in the waiting room, said Oppedisano, one of two protesters invited to the office. The protesters gave Katko’s representatives the check, aired their grievances and left, she said. Kitty Burns, a resident of Otisco, attended the protest as a member of both CNY Solidarity Coalition — a regional activist organization — and Flip 24, a group intent on electing a Democrat to the 24th Congressional District, which Katko currently represents. “I think (Katko) is a really see katko page 4

SU graduate students to launch health app By Nhari Djan staff writer

Pranika Jain and Siddhartha Roy Nandi, two graduate students in Syracuse University’s College of Engineering and Computer Science, developed an app that allows psychiatrists to see their patient’s social media posts and alert the doctor of concerning activities. The Daily Orange sat down with Jain and Roy Nandi to discuss the app and its development. The D.O.: What’s the purpose of the app, and how does it work? Siddhartha Roy Nandi: … The purpose of the app is authenticating doctors as well as patients, registering them and collecting the data.

There is another section, which is the learning algorithm, which is running in on the back end, but is actually working with the app. The algorithm takes a look at the patient’s social media activities, and if any kind of anomalies happen, then it generates an alert. And because of that alert, a corresponding alert goes to the corresponding doctor. The D.O.: Where did you get the idea to incorporate social media? S.R.: Social media is very popular nowadays. Pranika Jain: It’s the most expressive platform. S.R.: Many researchers are going on ... social media to look at the sentiments of the individuals over social media. So the idea came to us

as whether we can see the behavioral change in social media, also. The D.O.: How is language used as an indicator? S.R.: Language might be an indicator, but apart from that there are several other indicators. For example, if you post more than your average postings, that means ... something must have happened. And then you can take a look at the sentiment analysis of those posts. If your average behavior is negative, then it is more likely that you are a negative person or you are in a depressed mindset, but if the frequency of the posts is very high and all the posts are negative, then it is more like you are in trouble and indirectly you’re crying for help. There are starting words

you can look for. So when I mention negative, there has been a purpose of negative words like “bad,” “sad,” “die,” “kill.” So starting words can be used to find out the behavior of the negativity. For that, we are consulting with a psychiatrist to build the corpus of what words we should (use to) consider that post as negative. The D.O.: How will the doctors be able to see the posts for themselves? P.J.: How this works is, whenever something indicating of self-harm comes across these feeds, then an email is being sent to (the) doctor telling them that there is some data which is anomalous in behavior. S.R.: The alert rate will tell the doctor that there is anomaly to the

Man accused of taping women at SU arraigned By Sam Ogozalek news editor

A man accused of videotaping women in a Syracuse University bathroom will appear in Onondaga County Court in midMarch, court records show. MONDS Garrett J.

Monds, 27, was arraigned on Wednesday, according to Syracuse.com. Monds, of Liverpool, was arrested in late January after police said he entered a bathroom in the Life Sciences Complex and recorded women there with a cell phone. “Monds was unable to provide any viable reason for him to be there, or on the Syracuse University Campus,” said Syracuse Police Department Sgt. Richard Helterline, in a press release at

the time. Monds was charged with unlawful surveillance in the second degree, police said. His bail and bond have been set at $25,000 and $50,000, respectively, court records show. Monds is currently lodged in the Onondaga County Justice Center, records show. He was previously arrested and charged with unlawful surveillance in similar cases. According to Syracuse.com, Monds was

arrested in spring 2017 for taking photos of a woman through a bathroom stall at Onondaga County Community College. Monds also took photos of a woman in a bathroom at a Rite Aid warehouse on Henry Clay Boulevard, per Syracuse.com, and is accused of holding a cell phone underneath a stall in a women’s bathroom. Monds was indicted on Feb. 8, per Syracuse.com. sfogozal@syr.edu | @Sam13783

Burns also said she came to the protest to denounce Katko’s A rating with the National Rifle Association. Katko was given a top rating and an endorsement from the NRA in 2014, when he was running against Democrat Dan Maffei, according to Syracuse.com. He was also endorsed by the Shooters Committee on Political Education during his 2014 campaign. Katko co-sponsored the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, which would allow gun owners with concealed-carry permits to carry their guns in other states that may have tighter firearm laws.

She said even though she shouldn’t be able to buy a gun, she would probably be able to purchase one. She carried an “Everytown for Gun Safety” sign, a group formed after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 20 children and six adults dead in 2012. Brandt-Doelle brought her three children to the rally. Other children skipped along the downtown sidewalk carrying signs reading “#shameonkatko.” Elaine Denton, a protester, also brought two of her three children to the rally. Denton said she came as a volunteer for Moms Demand Action, an organization that demands action from legislators to strengthen gun control. “Every day I put them on that bus, every day, I’m petrified that they won’t come back to me,” Denton said. A staff member for Le Moyne College also attended the rally. Lynn Kasper, an art administrator at Le Moyne, said she strongly opposed Katko’s support of the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. “We are in desperate need of serious changes around our gun laws,” Caroline Sheffield, a protester added. “I’m a constituent of this shameful man.”

With DACA deadline looming, politicians are putting partisanship first

yracuse University has provided opportunities and support resources for students covered by Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, reflecting the way Americans think the federal government should approach Dreamers. With the federal government pushing for a DACA deal by March 5, it’s clear politicians are nowhere near a resolution the way the university — and most Americans — are. It may seem like the divisiveness in Washington, D.C. surrounding the DACA program is reflective of how Americans view the policy, but a recent Quinnipiac University poll shows the immigration issue isn’t as contentious among ordinary people. The poll reported that 81 percent of 1,333 registered voters supported “allowing undocumented

immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children to remain in the United States and eventually apply for citizenship.” Which is, in essence, what DACA stands for. President Donald Trump has urged the GOP to compromise on immigration, but there’s been little movement on the Democrats’ side. Still, we need a deal that both creates a path to citizenship for Dreamers, undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children and raised here, and funds enhanced border security. Trump included a path to citizenship for Dreamers in his four-pillar immigration plan, but a deal is yet to come. Kristi Andersen, professor emerita of political science at SU’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, said she believes congressional Republicans are responding

to their base, including donors and people in the administration, rather than what the American people generally want. “So they are offering protection for Dreamers as part of a compromise, that is, ‘here is something we and our supporters really don’t want, but we’ll let you have it,’” Andersen said in an email. “But really, it’s something everyone wants — so it isn’t a legitimate compromise offer, and Democrats are calling them out on that.” It’s possible Republicans are trying to use the protection of Dreamers as a way of getting what they

ultimately want without having to make a real sacrifice. But on the opposite end, Democrats aren’t willing to budge on the idea of increasing border infrastructure. While national polls often show a lack of support for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, a recent Harvard Harris poll showed that 54 percent of those surveyed support “building a combination of physical and electronic barriers” across the border. But based on the Democrats’ muted response to Trump’s State of the Union address and the subsequent government shutdowns over Dreamers, there’s a noticeable disconnect between what Americans want and what their representatives are willing to give. When it comes down to it, the entire immigration debate seems to revolve around the word “wall.”

If most people want increased border security through physical structures in addition to carving a path to citizenship for Dreamers, then the lack of compromise is over semantics. Democrats also want better border security but can’t support infrastructure branded as a wall, while the Republicans seem to need that word as part of a deal. The irony of it all is that most would think both parties would want to do something that’d boost their image heading into the midterm elections. But it’s the very image and wording of a deal that’s holding up compromise, despite the public wanting just that.

budget report states. The report did not detail the Slutzker Center’s exact budget. Enrollment jumped from 365 international undergraduate students studying at SU in 2006 to 1,942 in 2017, according to the report. The international graduate student population increased from 1,418 students to 2,275 students in that same time span. But the university’s hub for international students has not received additional funds in several years, the report states. Crystal Bartolovich, an associate professor of English, on Wednesday asked what concrete actions are being taken to address Slutzker Center funding concerns. Sinéad Mac Namara, chair of the budget committee, said in a recent meeting with M. Dolan Evanovich, the university’s senior vice president for enrollment and the student experience acknowledged the need for better support of international students. During that meeting, Evanovich said funding from Invest Syracuse would go toward enriching support and services for international students, according to the report. Invest Syracuse is a fiveyear, $100 million academic fundraising plan. “It’s early on … in what types of changes we’ll be making, but international students will be a priority in that process,” Mac Namara said. She added that other Senate committees can also “take up the charge” to address funding issues. Robert Van Gulick, a professor of philosophy, said during the meeting that the Senate’s Instruction Committee has previously expressed worries that the Slutzker Center is underfunded and understaffed, but nothing happened. Mac Namara acknowledged that this isn’t the first time the budget committee has raised the issue of Slutzker Center funding, either. When looking at the overall university income from international students, “it is a concern if growth is going to be sustained in that area,” she said of funding support for the center. The committee has also discussed, according to the report, the need for an updated IT system and personnel at the Slutzker Center, as its current technology cannot accommodate the growing international student population, nor is it compatible with the federal Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. The following points are critical concerns of the Slutzker Center that have budget implications, according to the report: • The need to better serve students from wide geographic, socio-economic settings from page 1

Now, seven years later, the institute has 89 fulland part-time staff members in nine different states, in addition to 12 research fellows, 33 student employees and seven pro-bono partnerships. Its annual operating budget is $16 million, and its external revenue is $26 million, according to the report.

graduates,” the report states. “This need impacts not only the international student experience, but also faculty teaching and research efforts.”

The IVMF operates entirely on soft money, or contributions, and in the last three budget years it has received a collective total of more than $49 million. The IVMF has received more external gifts than any individual school or college at SU in the last three budget years, per the report. The Office of Veteran and Military Affairs serves about 2,000 current SU students who are active duty service members, military veterans and military connected, according to the report. The OVMA has a total budget of $1.1 million for 2018. Of this total, $225,000 is offset by facilities and administration overhead recovery from sponsored research

awarded to the IVMF, per the report.

Cost of attendance

The budget report released Wednesday also detailed the estimated cost of attendance for undergraduate and graduate students at the university, as SU prepares to implement a $3,300 tuition premium as part of Invest Syracuse. For the 2018-19 academic year, the projected total cost of attendance for new undergraduate students is $70,637 — a 7.9 percent increase from the current academic year. This total cost for next year’s incoming students includes a 3.9 percent increase in base tuition and the Invest Syracuse premium. Room and board prices, the health and wellness fee and the student activity fee will remain the same, as they are now, for incom-

The committee also included information in its report regarding the Department of Public Safety’s budget. The report found a 3.1 percent annual increase of the DPS budget in the last five years. Overall, the DPS budget makes up about 0.8 percent of the total university budget, according to the report. Tom Sherman, a professor in the College of Visual and Performing Arts who originally requested the DPS data, said during Wednesday’s meeting that the information in the

The health and wellness fee will increase by 2.2 percent, and the student activity fee will go up by 1 percent, pending approval from the Student Association, according to the report. Typical indirect expenses for students, such as books and supplies, transportation and other personal expenses, are also anticipated to increase by 2.9 percent collectively, according to the report.

Chick-fil-A opens in Cicero

‘There is hope’

By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

On a cloudless, unusually warm February morning, cries of “We want chicken!” rang out in Cicero. More than 150 people had lined up to take part in a phenomenon new to central New York: Chick-fil-A. On Wednesday, the Cicero Chick-fil-A — set to open Thursday morning — offered 100 people a year of free chicken in exchange for some community service. Owner Jimmer Szatkowski issued gift cards good for 52 free chicken sandwich meals — once a week for a year — to those 100 people, who agreed to spend a day serving the community. The Cicero Chick-filA, which is about 15 minutes from the Syracuse University campus, will be the first of four central and upstate New York franchises.

5 months after Maria, local groups support Puerto Ricans By Myelle Lansat

social media director

hen a commercial plane descended into Puerto Rico five months after Hurricane Maria, a once-scenic landing was riddled with blue tarps, covering homes where roofs once were. For some Puerto Ricans, it was necessary to leave their homes behind. More than 100 families — about 600 people — have looked to the Spanish Action League, better known as La Liga, for assistance in central New York due to disaster displacement relocation. The organization received 100 new calls from Puerto Rico in the month of January alone. “The reality is that there is a lot of hunger, thirst and desperation. The lack of power is driving people crazy,” said Elisa Morales, executive director of La Liga in Syracuse. Morales, who is half Puerto Rican and was born in the United States, recently returned from the island after she and her team went on their second disaster relief mission since November. From what the team saw, Morales said some progress has been made between the trips. In November, items like diapers, baby formula, food and water were considered gold. Now, grocery stores have raised the price of water, making a case of 24 bottles

cost about $15, Morales said. Numerous teachers have left the island, and classes can only run from 7 a.m. to noon due to lack of power and running water in bathrooms, she added. Even five months after the hurricane hit, 1.36 million citizens are still without power, according to Vox.com. But despite the current living conditions, Morales said Puerto Ricans are resilient. “I still saw kids playing outside, older people singing and people dancing and congregating and breaking bread together,” she said. “So there is hope, but there is so much more help they need.” Morales said there wasn’t a Puerto Rican living in the U.S. who slept the night the hurricane first hit the island. The night Maria struck, Adriana Danner — a senior psychology and forensics double major at Syracuse University — and her sister, Ana, met with two friends to start a fundraising campaign for Puerto Rico, their home island. “Those hours of not knowing anything from our family and how they were was the worst part,” said Ana, a sophomore communications design major. The group requested donations through the transfer app Venmo, both under the name @SyracuseUniversitywithPR and with their personal accounts, and made see puerto

‘Harry Potter’ live concert to stop in Syracuse By Pietro Baragiola contributing writer

The magic of the Harry Potter franchise is coming to Syracuse this weekend, when the curtains open on the Landmark Theatre’s stage. As “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” plays on a 40-foot screen, a live orchestra led by Symphoria Syracuse conductor John Beal will play the film’s score, originally written by John Williams.

This event is part of the Harry Potter Film Concert Series, which started with its world premiere in Philadelphia in June 2016. The series is playing in hundreds of venues in more than 30 countries with all different orchestras, said Justin Freer, founder of CineConcerts and producer and conductor of the Harry Potter Film Concert Series. Danielle Bianco, special events and company manager of the Landmark Theatre, said this concert

brings Syracuse a new way to watch the film. The music will surround viewers and include them in the movie as if they were watching it for the first time. She also said the Landmark was chosen to host the event because of its quality acoustics. “We have a long tradition of successful performances since when we were built in 1928,” Bianco said. “A symphony worldwide famous like this one wouldn’t sound as good in

an arena as it will inside our theater.” Freer called the Landmark Theatre “one of the last remaining movie palaces which represents the incredible opulence of theaters in the 1920s.” The 80-plus people playing on the stage in Syracuse are part of the Symphoria orchestra. The nonprofit formed in late 2012 as a musician-led cooperative orchestra, one of the only two in the United States, according to the see concert page 10

“When we were thinking about what we wanted to do here, my wife and I said it would be a really cool thing to kinda take a big first step in showing what Chick-fil-A is really about to partner with a day of service,” Szatkowski said. More than 150 people showed up in the restaurant’s parking lot by 6 a.m. Wednesday. Everyone was given a raffle ticket, and those whose numbers matched the first 100 tickets drawn got the opportunity to go on the First 100 Road Trip. Szatkowski, his wife and his three children participated in the community service as well. The group went to two sites to volunteer: the Samaritan Center, a renovated church that serves a warm meal to those in need, and Francis House, a place for hospice care. The group brought surprise Chick-fil-A for lunch to Francis House residents. Szatkowski, a former IBM employee, was told by a colleague that he should put some thought into being a Chick-fil-A owner. Szatkowski said about 40,000 people submit applications to be an owner each year, and the corporation opens about 100 restaurants annually. He said as he was pulled through the selection process, he felt better about the prospect of owning a Chick-fil-A and leaving IBM. “I just had this growing feeling that this might be what God wants me to do with the second half of my career,” said Szatkowski, an upstate New York native. “Use Chick-fil-A see chick-fil-a page 10

TUCKER DORDEVIC started both of Syracuse’s games this season as a freshman. He tallied one goal and one assist against Binghamton and had four shots over the two games.

Freshman Tucker Dordevic is making an immediate impact at the midfield, despite not expecting to play much Story by Charlie DiSturco senior staff writer

efore his first game in a Syracuse uniform, Tucker Dordevic sat down at his locker. In the scrimmages prior, he cemented himself as a starter on the first midfield line. Now, there he was, less than an hour before he made his first career start. Dordevic thought about everything he had done pre-lacrosse, he said. About himself as a kid back home in Portland, Oregon, nearly 2,800 miles away from the Carrier Dome. How that has impacted him on his journey to play for a No. 16 Syracuse (1-1) team he once considered a “dream.” And how that journey involved Syracuse lacrosse legend Ryan Powell. Then, he walked out of the locker room and onto the turf field. As the opening whistle blew, Dordevic instantly found himself in a position to contribute. He was the lone freshman starting

in Syracuse’s season opener against Binghamton, on an Orange offense that lost over half its points production after the graduation of Nick Mariano, Sergio Salcido and Jordan Evans. “We’re throwing him into the wolves and seeing what he can do,” Desko said after one of Syracuse’s scrimmages on Jan. 28. Fewer than six minutes into the season opener and with the Orange up 2-0, Dordevic had his first shot at making an impact. A wide shot landed out of bounds as Stephen Rehfuss quickly rushed toward the ball to restart possession. Once play restarted, Rehfuss ran along the five-yard line and flicked the ball to an open Brad Voigt. Dordevic noticed he lost his defender mid-play, and he curled around near the 25-yard line. Voigt turned and passed to Dordevic while a pick from Nate Solomon blocked Binghamton’s long-stick midfielder Timothy Mattiace from regaining his position. Dordevic found himself all alone. He slung a sidearm shot past the outstretched Mattiace and into the top left corner of

the net. “He doesn’t need as much work as I did,” Jamie Trimboli, also a midfield starter, said. “… He’s got the fastest feet I’ve seen in a while. He’s definitely a big threat.” In his first college game, Dordevic contributed a goal and an assist for Syracuse in its 21-4 rout over Binghamton. And while a 15-3 beat down by Albany the following week resulted in a pointless performance, Dordevic has already made strides as a freshman. He’s drawn comparisons to the now-sophomore Trimboli, who broke onto the starting line as a freshman. “I compare him to Jamie Trimboli a year ago,” Desko said. “Very athletic, can dodge down either alley left handed or right handed … and is a physically stronger player coming in. (He’s) ahead of his time of most freshmen coming in physically.” Dordevic didn’t expect to be a first-line midfielder. Back home before the season started, he wrote down that his goal was to try and make the first or even second line as a freshman. But he didn’t expect either of see dordevic page 12

JAMIE TRIMBOLI tries to break down an Army defender in last season’s matchup, a 14-13 win for the Golden Knights. SU and Army have split their last two games.

he first two weeks of No. 16 Syracuse’s (1-1) season could not have been more different from each other. The Orange opened the season with a 21-4 shellacking of Binghamton (0-3), where 12 different players scored for SU. The Orange followed up its massive opening-day win with one of its worst losses in decades. Then-No. 4 Albany (1-0) thrashed the Orange, 15-3, in the Great Danes first game of the season, earning its second win against the Orange in program history and handing SU its worst home defeat since a 19-6 loss against Cornell in 1987. This Saturday, SU finishes up its opening home stand against No. 9 Army (3-0), which is coming off a 9-7 win against No. 13 Rutgers. One key piece that may be missing, though, is Army’s “top defender,” Johnny Surdick, Army head coach Joe Alberici

said. Surdick missed last Saturday’s contest against Rutgers due to an injury. In his place, senior long-stick midfielder Jon LaMonica moved to defense, finishing with a team-leading 14 ground balls. Alberici is “hopeful” Surdick will play on Saturday, but that is to be determined. The last two seasons, Army and Syracuse have split their matchups. Syracuse won, 9-8, in 2016 and lost, 14-13, in 2017. In last year’s contest, SU had to play without its all-time faceoff leader in Ben Williams, but it had veteran go-to scorers in Nick Mariano and Sergio Salcido. This year’s Syracuse team is much different, while Army’s is much of the same.

VETERAN ATTACK

While Syracuse lost three of its top-five scorers from last season, the Black Knights return all but one of their top-five scorers, including 2017 USILA All-American Honorable Mention David Symmes, who played hero last season against SU, putting a game-winner past Evan Molloy with 0.5 seconds remaining. “Symmes is an impressive athlete,” Alberici said. “Great size. Good speed.

Shoots the ball hard.” So far this season, the senior ranks third on the team with nine points — six goals and three assists. Tied for first are Nate Jones and Conor Glancy, who each have tallied 10 points through their first three games. Both seniors found the back of the net last year against SU. Army returns all but two players who scored in last season’s game. Still, Army isn’t the same offensive juggernaut that Albany is. Last week, Syracuse’s defense was exhausted in the second half, sophomore defender Nick Mellen said. “We can’t say let’s do what Tehoka (Nanticoke) did,” Alberici said. “We just don’t have that guy.” The Black Knights do not have a Nanticoke-type talent, but they do have a diverse, experienced offense that can attack its opponents in many different ways.

puerto rico their cause known on social media by creating a Facebook group. The Venmo account collected more than $5,500, which was donated to hospitals in Puerto Rico. “It’s just one of those things you need to act in the heat of the moment, because after a while it gets old,” Adriana said. After five months, the issue isn’t making headlines anymore, Morales said, but help is still needed. In Syracuse, Morales spends a lot of time assisting disaster-displaced families, which she said can be challenging due to the weather adjustment. “Even with the winter scaring the hell out of them, they are looking to stay,” she said. “This is our home.” Winter gear was at the top of La Liga’s list of necessities after the hurricane. The organization partnered with Assemblywoman Pamela J. Hunter (D-Syracuse) and organized a coat drive. La Liga continues to partner with local figures for donation drives based on clients’ needs, Morales said, which include getting applications

processed for the Department of Social Services, searching for jobs and achieving overall safety. But above all else, Morales and her team sit and listen to each individual’s story. Morales said displaced children are so traumatized that they often don’t want to talk about their experiences. “When a child says, ‘I don’t want to wake up tomorrow,’ that’s something you can’t ignore,” she said. The most common question Morales receives is: “Is there hope?” “I do think there is hope, and I would never accept an answer other than that,” she said. “I don’t say it just to say it.” During her trip, Morales received a recognition award from New York state Gov. Andrew Cuomo for her work with La Liga. Maria has inspired Morales to get more involved than she has in the past with disaster relief, and her work doesn’t stop with the governor’s recognition, she said. Said Morales: “For me, every day is a blank canvas, and I never know what colors are needed and what will be best, but it’s not what I want. It’s based on what my clients need.” malansat@syr.edu

While “Harry Potter” music has been played on other occasions by Symphoria, this is the first time that they are working step-by-step with the movie, said Jon Garland, musician and board member of the Symphoria orchestra. “The biggest challenge is when you have to do something that has to be the same of something else,” Garland said. “We have a large orchestra and we have to try to line up exactly with the movie and this, of course, doesn’t leave a large margin for error.” Garland, who is himself a Harry Potter fan, said the orchestra has just two rehearsals before these performances. The musicians are professionals and fully prepared before rehearsals begin, Garland explained, so the rehearsal time is entirely focused on details and coordination with the film. “From the moment that you first hear Hedwig’s theme played on the glockenspiel to supporting, rustling string lines, John Williams from page 7

BEAUTY BENEATH Art exhibit highlights the aesthetics of medical science By Jony Sampah staff writer

nspiration for SUArt Galleries’ latest photo exhibit came from some unusual places — like operating rooms. Art and science come together to form the exhibit on display now in Shaffer Hall, which is titled “Hidden Beauty: Exploring the Aesthetics of Medical Science.” Brought to life by Norman Barker and Christine Iacobuzio-Donahue, two experts in the medical field, it features 50 pictures created by medical professionals. Barker, who is giving talks on campus this week, said the photos can not only offer a better way of understanding how diseases progress, but also add to viewers’ senses of wonder and curiosity. Iacobuzio-Donahue, a doctor at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, told BBC that the idea for this project came to her when she was looking at a sample of testicular cancer. She said it reminded her of modern art. Iacobuzio-Donahue worked with Barker, who is a professor in pathology and art as applied to medicine at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Medicine, to create the exhibit. Barker echoed her sentiment, saying that everyday things in the medical field can be beautiful. “On a daily basis we see all kinds of things whether through the microscope, in the operating room, and many of these things are beautiful,” Barker said. The images, Barker said, were taken with several different imaging techniques, including MRI, PET imaging, confocal microscopy, and a simple digital camera. Barker said the diseases represented in the art are common. He described one particular photo in the exhibit he finds interesting, one not related to a disease. “There is one picture of a placenta, in the exhibit, and it’s red, it’s blood, but the placenta is an interesting organ because it’s the only organ in our bodies — of course female, that is designed to be thrown out after its intended use. And of course we’ve all had contact with a placenta, one way or another.” There are legends that go along with each image, Barker said, which are meant to give an in-depth explanation of the images being shown. These legends are written for an audience that would be interested in science. Emily Dittman, the exhibition and collection manager of SUArt Galleries, said the exhibition was chosen because it was aesthetically pleasing and relevant to the sciences. A committee of Syracuse University faculty, gallery staff members and students made the decision. “People are surprised in a lot of ways when they enter the exhibition if they don’t know that that’s what the show is about,” Dittman said. “Because at first view, you wouldn’t know that these are medical images.” She added that viewers might not recognize the photos as being of the human body because they’re microscopic. “But they’re blown up to a great detail. So a lot of them just look like a painting or a print or a photograph that’s an abstract view,” she said. “And it’s not until you get close to them and start reading the descriptive text that Norman created, when you read what really they are.” Some people are queasy when it comes to medical issues, she said, but she hopes the exhibit might make viewers see the beauty in medicine. “Just because something is art doesn’t necessarily mean it’s pleasing,” Barker said. “There’s a lot of art out there that is challenging, and there is a lot of art that is not beautiful.” Barker will be on campus Thursday to give a talk titled, “The Wonder of the Scientific Image” at 5:30 p.m. in Room 106 of the Life Sciences Complex. Barker’s talk will encompass the history of photography and try to bridge the gap between science and photography, Dittman said. He will give an additional talk on Friday at the SUArt Galleries titled “Can Scientific Photographs be Art?” at 12:15 p.m. The exhibition will be on display through March 9 in the Shaffer Art Building. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays. The receptions this week are free and open to the public. Barker said he hopes the exhibit gives viewers “a different way of looking and appreciating the human body.” ktsampah@syr.edu

TANGO DOWN After playing Albany in the Carrier Dome last weekend, Syracuse has tasted both success and failure. This week poses an interesting matchup for the Orange, as it fell to Army last year on a game-winner. For Syracuse to pull away from Army, it will have to rely on faceoff specialist Danny Varello, who enters Saturday after a 3-for-13 performance at the faceoff X last week. In a game that will remain close for its entirety, Syracuse will pull away at the end because of its veteran defense and successful man-down unit to date. Expect Varello to bounce back and SU’s offense to string together a better performance than its three-goal output to Albany a week ago. cdistur@syr.edu | @Charliedisturco

SALUTE THE TROOPS Coming off a historically bad offensive performance against thenNo. 4 Albany, Syracuse will have to generate more opportunities to keep up in this one. Army returns nearly its entire offense from a team that downed SU 14-13 last year in the Carrier Dome. Last year, in Ben Williams’ absence, Danny Varello saw playing time in the second half of the Army matchup and nearly spurred a comeback victory. Now the Black Knights have, and John Ragno is no slouch. The senior has won 67.6 percent of his face-offs, including going 8-for-12 against Rutgers. If Syracuse wants to win, Varello must dominate the X, and I frankly don’t see that happening. mdliberm@syr.edu | @Matt_Liberman

TIME FOR WAR A week ago, Syracuse suffered its largest loss at home under 20-year head coach John Desko. That’s something that hits a team’s pride, both Tyson Bomberry and Desko affirmed in the postgame conference a week ago. Army enters the game off an impressive win at Rutgers, but it would be surprising to see them play spoilers two weeks in a row. Syracuse learned last week that without winning possessions at the faceoff X, it can’t win. Army ranks only two spots above Syracuse in the national rankings for faceoff winning percentage. Look for the Orange to bounce back there and on the scoreboard. jlschafe@syr.edu | @Schafer_44

(He’s) ahead of his time of most freshmen coming in physically. John Desko

su head coach

To ready himself for college, Dordevic came to Syracuse in the summer to take classes and get in extra reps. Every day, Desko said, he’d see him playing wall ball or practice shooting. There, he could practice using his off-hand and work on stick skills, dodging and other facets of his game that needed polishing to compete with lacrosse’s best. But that progression to being one of Syracuse’s most physically ready freshmen and a quick contributor started back in Oregon, playing on Rhinos Lacrosse, a club team coached by Powell. Dordevic joined the team around third or fourth grade, Powell estimated, and he knew Dordevic would be really good at such an early age. He was much smaller than most players, but Dordevic’s athleticism and “lax rat” attitude made him stick out. “I wasn’t there to be their friend,” Powell said. “I was there to be their coach and to get the most out of them that I potentially could.” As a coach, Powell likes to instill stick work in his players from an early age. from page 9

faceoffs against Dan Grabher, the fifth-leading faceoff specialist in the country at the end of the 2017 season. Against Binghamton two weeks ago, Varello dominated, winning 15-of17 en route to being named to the USILA Team of the Week. “He dominated,” Binghamton head coach Kevin McKeown said following the game. “It’s tough to win a ball game when you don’t have the ball.” Syracuse suffered a similar fate last Saturday against Albany. Varello folded, winning 3-of-13 against TD Ierlan, and SU rarely possessed the ball in its three-goal performance. Varello struggled mightily to win the ball against Albany, and has struggled with turnovers in both games. Against the Bearcats, Varello turned the ball over on 20 percent of his face-off wins. Ahead 4-0 in the first quarter, Varello won the faceoff against Binghamton’s Brendan Patterson. After the win, two Bearcats

DORDEVIC played for former Syracuse player Ryan Powell’s club team, Rhinos Lacrosse. Powell recognized Dordevic’s talent and recommended him to SU head coach John Desko.

Powell often used the lessons he learned at Carthage (New York) High School, the place he developed his skills before becoming a four-time All-American and the No. 2 points leader all-time at Syracuse. That helped players like Dordevic develop into top recruits — Dordevic ranked No. 27 in this year’s freshman class. By his sophomore year, Dordevic had already committed to Delaware. He continued to play club lacrosse, but in between his sophomore and junior year, Dordevic “sprouted.” Powell watched from the side-

lines at a tournament in Palm Springs, California, as Dordevic dominated the competition. After talking to some coaches, Powell came to a conclusion. “I was like, ‘Dude, this guy can play at the best Division I schools,’” Powell said. “I gotta get on the phone with Desko and make this happen.” Powell told Dordevic that, with his progress, he could play at Syracuse. With Powell’s close connection, Dordevic’s hard-working mentality and Powell being Dordevic’s coach for years, Syracuse was an attractive option, so Dordevic

decided to fly out and tour the college. Powell accompanied Dordevic on that tour, watching as a kid from Oregon’s eyes “lit up” as he walked into the Carrier Dome for the first time. Watching the look on his face when he met former SU head coach Roy Simmons Jr., a five-time NCAA champion. Watching as Dordevic was “fulfilling a dream” coming to a historic program like Syracuse. “(Powell) coached me throughout my whole life,” Dordevic said. “… But this was the best thing he’s ever done for me.”

midfielders double-teamed Varello. Instead looking for the easy pass back to his defense, Varello tried to force a one-handed pass to a midfielder, resulting in a turnover. On Saturday, Army will bring that same pressure. “Our goal will be to try to make it a 10-man game as much as we can,” Alberici said. Plus, Army’s faceoff specialist, John Ragno, doubles down as a short-stick defensive midfielder as well. A good athlete, Alberici said, Ragno is especially tough to beat when the ball is on the ground, plus his win percentage at the faceoff X is one of the best in the country at 67.6 percent. “We’re going to rely on him to make it scrappy,” Alberici said.

stops when we needed them. At a loose ball pile, he comes off ripping again and again and again.” What the coaching staff did not anticipate is Manown to rank fourth on the team in scoring, just two points behind Symmes, creating a more diverse offense than even Army thought it had. But for all the talk about SU’s struggles against Albany, Alberici knows there is more to SU than what people saw on Saturday. The first half, he said, was much closer than the scoreboard indicated, and the missed opportunities that Syracuse couldn’t capitalize on was what made the team struggle so badly in the second half. But Army isn’t Albany. And the loss to the Great Danes is in the past. Alberici knows SU isn’t focused on it anymore, and he knows his team cannot focus on it either. “We need to set the tone,” Alberici said. “What happened last week shouldn’t dictate what happens in this game. That’s going to be before we step on the field.”

Syracuse finds strength in midfield depth, multiple lines By Michael McCleary asst. digital editor

It happened fast. In Syracuse’s season opener against Connecticut on Feb. 9, UConn players barreled past SU’s back line and put SU in a 2-0 hole 1:24 into the game. But as the game wore on, the pace of play caught up to UConn’s starters. Before the speed slowed down SU, the Orange made a switch. “Our depth and ability to use two and three midfield lines took its toll,” SU head coach Gary Gait said. “You saw the exhaustion on their starters. They were tired and they made a lot of mistakes.” In its first two games, No. 5 Syracuse (2-0) has used a multitude of different lineups in the midfield and made frequent subs in an attempt to stay fresh as opponents tire out. The new rule allowing free movement for players after whistles has sped up the game by lessening the amount of stoppages in any given game. It’s also allowed the Orange to tap into its depth in the early going.

“We got three, even four lines of girls that can play,” redshirt senior Taylor Gait said. “Fresh legs is always great when you run up and down the field.” Against Connecticut and again against Oregon nine days later, Syracuse used 13 players listed as midfielders on the official roster, changing starting groups for each game. Gary Gait said cycling new players in and out of the game is one of his biggest emphases going forward. Players are still adjusting to the faster pace. Freshman midfielder Sam Swart said that the college game was “faster than (she) expected” and, with the whistle blowing less frequently, she’s hardly found time to stop and collect her thoughts. “You don’t have any moments to breathe, you just go,” Swart said. “The whole game was a blur… I feel like I didn’t even take one breather.” But the adjustment from high school to college wasn’t the problem. The game has changed. Swart remembers talking to fellow midfielder Gait after the game and even she, a fifth-year

senior, said to Swart that it’s a “totally different game” than she’s used to playing. The movement affects the midfield the most, sophomore attack Nicole Levy said. Though Levy said it hasn’t affected her game so far, senior attack Riley Donahue notices the speed of the game changing so there’s “never a standing moment.” But the Orange players have yet to feel the effect of the faster game because Gary Gait was ready for it. Syracuse has used constant switches throughout games to make sure players are getting the rest needed for the Orange to go the distance in games. On Feb. 18, Oregon came out of the secondhalf gate and moved fast. After scoring the first three goals of the frame, Syracuse started to lose its early lead. But following a few switches in personnel, the Orange got back on track and cinched up a 17-11 win. The substitutions were important to the midfielders. With the game moving faster than ever, SU has found new ways to keep individual fatigue from affecting its play. Luck-

ily for Syracuse, players and coaches alike are confident that this year’s team is deeper than in year’s past. “Our coaches usually don’t let us get to the point where we are super tired,” midfielder Kelzi Van Atta said. “We’re subbing on the fly so everybody is fresh all the time.” The new faces getting involved will be a common thread throughout the year, as Syracuse aims to give itself the advantage over shorthanded teams. Gary Gait said the rules this year make it difficult to have just one midfield line, so SU prepared two, senior Neena Merola said. Others, like midfielder Gait, said SU has more than two. “Our team does a lot of subs really fast, which is awesome. I think it’s the way our coaches prepared it,” Swart said, “they knew (it) was going to be fast.” So far this year, everything has happened fast, but Syracuse thinks it has the formula that will allow it to catch up. mmcclear@syr.edu | @mikejmccleary

‘Flush rides’ help players stay healthy during long season By Eric Black

asst. copy editor

Midway through the first period of Syracuse’s first exhibition of the season, Taylor Curtis blocked a shot attempt with her hand. For a split second she appeared to wince, but continued playing, unfazed. Later in the game, in the opening minutes of the third period, a Gee-Gees defender checked Ronnie Callahan into the boards. Slow to get up, Callahan carefully skated off the ice. Neither players missed time, but both began their season-long list of ailments. Almost five months later, the Orange (1218-2, 11-6-1 College Hockey America) is one day away from its final regular season series of the year and one week away from the start of the CHA playoffs. Since playing Ottawa in late September, Syracuse has totaled 342 blocked shots and too many bumps and bruises to count. With its most important stretch of its schedule coming up, SU has adopted a handful of methods to stay healthy during the long season. “Since it’s such a long season we have a lot of strain on our bodies,” freshman defender from page 16

Dome on Wednesday night. “We did everything we could to get back in it,” head coach Jim Boeheim said. “These guys played their hearts out … North Carolina’s a tremendous team.” The matchup against the Tar Heels felt bigger than any other game this year. It felt bigger during the day on Wednesday, when assistant strength coach and former player Eric Devendorf tweeted out that “these are the games we lace ’em up for.” It felt bigger during the national anthem — the Carrier Dome exploded on the line “land of the free,” forcing the singer to pause before continuing. And it was confirmed to be bigger when SU announced a season-high attendance of 27,165. SU’s recent surge placed the team firmly on the Tournament bubble with four games to go in the regular season, which made this game against UNC so important. The Tar Heels simultaneously were SU’s toughest opponent but the biggest potential resumebooster since playing then-No. 2 Virginia at the start of the month. The Orange does have a matchup against No. 5 Duke on Saturday on the road. This was Syracuse’s chance to slay a Top 10 opponent, the reigning national champion and a college basketball powerhouse on its own home floor as both teams hit the final stretch of the season. For much of the night, though, North Carolina was surgical on offense. When SU collapsed toward the middle, North Carolina rained 3s from the wings. When the Orange

Kristen Siermachesky said. “But we tend to get to our athletic trainer and we have a lot of help in keeping healthy.” There are many rehab methods players employ to maintain their health following physical games or practices. First, they can choose from taking an ice bath or putting NormaTec boots on their legs. While ice baths use cold temperatures to reduce swelling and the breakdown of tissue, NormaTec boots use compressed air. The air massages limbs, mobilizes fluid and speeds recovery, according to NormaTec’s website. It helps athletes recover faster between workouts due to the reduction of muscle soreness and the improvement of circulation. Other options for the players to recover and stay loose include foam rolling and stretching with bands, which the players will do with assistant strength and conditioning coach Corey Parker. “We do a lot of treatment,” sophomore defender Logan Hicks said, “and we really focus on the end of the season. We do a lot of recovery.” One of the players’ favorite ways to recover following games are their “flush rides,” which are usually completed on Sunday, their day

off. Despite not getting many days off, Siermachesky said, Sunday’s rides are fun as well as necessary for recovery. The rides are usually done on bikes, but the players have “flushed” out their systems beforehand by walking, running or even roller blading. The rides are performed so players’ legs are fresh for Monday practices, instead of staying stiff from the day before. With exercise even on their off day, Siermachesky said, it keeps the lactic acid out of their legs, meaning their muscles won’t tighten up from lack of activity. “It’s good to get outside,” head coach Paul Flanagan said. “The biking is a good crossover. Anything from just always being in that seated position, working different muscles, plus I think psychologically it’s pretty good for them as well.” Perhaps the biggest factor this semester for the Orange has been its change in practice time from 4 p.m. in the fall to mornings since the new year. On Mondays and Wednesdays this semester, Syracuse has practice at 8 a.m., while on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it’s been moved to 10 a.m. Flanagan felt that with the afternoon practice, sometimes his players felt tired or

anxious because of school. Flanagan, a selfproclaimed “early riser,” believes the morning practices gives his team some structure for the rest of their day. “I personally love it,” Hicks said. “It’s nice to just get up and have practice and be able to focus on school and homework after.” With fewer than 10 practices remaining, Syracuse has pulled back its level of activity in practice. While Tuesday’s early in the season included a lot of skating and other high-intensity drills, Tuesday practices in February have been narrowed down to faceoffs and defensive coverage near SU’s goal. The Orange has cut back on its in-season lifts as well, resorting instead to more stretching, foam rolling and core work off the ice. With a possible upcoming stretch of three games in three days in the CHA tournament, Syracuse is trying to save its best hockey of the year for last. “It is a long haul, and you can only ride that horse so long from September through March,” Flanagan said. “Just to keep some gas in the tank, we have to be able to pace ourselves.”

spread out, Luke Maye turned and hit shots from all over the high post. After the game, Matthew Moyer shook his head in disbelief when asked about how quickly North Carolina’s offense moved. He said that SU struggled tonight with getting to its spots as UNC swung the ball around. “The middle in general,” Moyer said about the spot where North Carolina broke down the zone the most. “When to the ball got middle, not necessarily saying they made all the shots in the middle, but when the ball go to the middle, shooters on the perimeter and they kept moving the ball, high-low … they attacked the zone well.” The Orange would make an occasional play to try and stay in the game, like when Frank Howard hit a fall-away 3-pointer with two seconds on the shot clock off an out-of-bounds set. But the Tar Heels had a counter for every Syracuse attack. If UNC didn’t make the shot right away on the next possession, it would grab an offensive rebound and make it then. UNC grabbed 15 offensive rebounds, the fifth most SU has allowed this season. UNC was cruising, going as fast as it wanted to with nothing in its path. Syracuse was stuck trying to catch up. Down by nine with nine minutes left, Syracuse saw its bid at an upset, and an impressive Top 10 win, slipping away. So it countered the speed it was facing with more speed, turning to its press. UNC routinely broke it, getting to half court relatively easily. Instead of holding the ball, though, the Tar Heels kept going. UNC’s lead was cut down to four, and on the next two

possessions, North Carolina broke the press and kept charging straight at the rim, taking out of control layups that were either altered by Paschal Chukwu. “Our press didn’t work except that they went to the basket and missed three or four shots, so it worked in that sense,” Boeheim said with a smile. “But we never did get a steal. But we got them going to the basket and they didn’t finish.” North Carolina had tried to go fast all night. In the process, it momentarily lost control. That allowed Syracuse to attack. Howard, Tyus Battle and Oshae Brissett combined for 66 points, taking turns leading the offense throughout the night.

coach Roy Williams said. “Brissett, the freshman, is really good, Howard’s good, but Tyus was a man possessed in the second half.” Over the last few weeks, the Orange shifted the narrative of its season. The start of ACC play was rough for SU, as its only ACC wins were against winless-in-conference Pittsburgh and bottom-five Boston College. It dropped matchups against Wake Forest, Notre Dame and Georgia Tech, all bottom-five ACC teams. The impressive road wins over the last two weeks vaulted the Orange back into Tournament consideration, with many bracketologists listing SU among the “last four in.” But the same speed that threw North Carolina off its course to a surefire victory came back to catch Syracuse. In the heat of arguably the biggest moment of the season, center Paschal Chukwu had the ball ripped away from him and UNC’s Joel Berry converted on the other end for a layup. Then, when SU wanted to run a pin-down for Battle coming out of a timeout with 30 seconds left, Chukwu set the wrong screen. A desperation Frank Howard 3 missed badly and UNC iced the game at the line. The Tar Heels had nearly spun out, but they took back control. It left Syracuse skidding backward, further away from the potentially season-validating win it knew was so close. “You’re not going to beat a team like Carolina unless you play really good and you can’t make a mistake at the end of the game,” Boeheim said. “We made two terrible mistakes at the end of the game.”

We did everything we could to get back in it. These guys played their hearts out … North Carolina’s a tremendous team. Jim Boeheim su head coach

Battle led the team down the stretch, though. He made the free throws that cut the lead to four. Then he curled to the rim for a tough layup, and followed up with a pure midrange jumper that ripped through the net. “Eleven, 23, 25. That’s what we all talked about and they were all great,” UNC head

turnovers while still maintaining her electric passing. “I’m just going to keep playing the way I play,” Mangakahia said. “I’m not going to stop. If I think I’m forcing it, I’ll slow down and try to take care of the ball more, but if I see an opening of a no-look pass or threading the needle, I will try to get that there.” Mangakahia’s vision, players and coaches agree, is what makes her so good for SU. In games, she fires surgical passes, often without even looking where they’re going. In practice, teammates are still occasionally caught off guard by the passes Mangakahia can, and does, make, they said. Against then-No. 17 Duke on Feb. 15, Syracuse led by three with 10.8 seconds until halftime. As the clock dwindled, Mangakahia slipped a screen and drove right while the screener, freshman center Amaya Finklea-Guity, rolled parallel to her on the other side of the paint. As four Blue Devils defenders converged on Mangakahia, she stared at the rim while zipping a no-look pass through a thicket of arms to FinkleaGuity for a buzzer-beating layup. But what makes Mangakahia such a lethal passer has at times been her Achilles’ heel. If teammates aren’t ready for the ball to find them, or Mangakahia simply tries to force a pass, it frequently results in the opposition running out in transition. This happened midway through the first quarter against then-No. 4 Louisville on Feb. 4 when Mangakahia slipped past a defender pressuring her and tried to push a no-look pass to Isis Young on the right wing. Instead, star UofL guard Asia Durr deflected the pass and went coast-to-coast for two points. Syracuse’s coaching staff doesn’t necessarily want to reign in Mangakahia’s circus passing, but rather impress upon her that the highlight pass isn’t always the best pass. “She’s really having to adjust to the different coverages she’s seeing out there,” SU associate head coach Vonn Read said. “I think she’s getting better at doing that.” Coming off a ball screen at the top of arc is when Mangakahia is most prone for turnovers, she said. She moves around the screen and then assesses the five options before her. She could kick the ball back to the screener for a pick-and-pop 3 — often Digna Strautmane sets screens as SU’s lone big that can consistently shoot 3s — or float the ball down low to Finklea-Guity, SU’s other post player. Beyond the two bigs, Mangakahia also has shooters — generally Gabrielle Cooper and Miranda Drummond — in each corner. She could pass the ball straight ahead off a screen to the near corner, or make a skip pass cross-court to the opposite shooter.

And if the defense doesn’t collapse on her, Mangakahia can always take the ball to the basket herself. In the split-second coming off a screen, she needs to survey all five options and pick the right one. “The game is happening so fast, and Tiana plays with such instinct that she’s just going to try and make the right play,” Read said, “and I think her film work is helping her to do a little bit better in that area.” Recognizing how defenses react off a ball screen is, at best, extremely difficult to identify and learn in-game or purely in practice, Read said. So, Mangakahia has delved into game film. For the last few weeks, she’s started having solo film sessions with SU head coach Quentin Hillsman, where the two analyze plays in-depth. It’s a chance for Hillsman to tell his point guard what he wants her to do in a certain scenario, and an opportunity for Mangakahia to diagnose issues in how she reads defenses. “We just sit down and go through four, five clips and tell her what she needs to look for and I want to take her opinion, ‘What were you looking for?’” Hillsman said. Once she’s sifted through enough film, Mangakahia takes the lessons learned and applies them on the practice court, repeatedly playing through ball-screen scenarios. The hope is relentless repetition will make reading defenses in games second nature. And if the numbers mean anything, all the extra attention to detail is starting to pay off. Across SU’s last eight games, Mangakahia is averaging 4.75 turnovers a game. In that stretch, which started on Jan. 21 with a 70-52 win over Pittsburgh, SU is 6-2. Mangakahia had three turnovers in that game. She’s only exceeded seven turnovers once in that span — 10 in SU’s 84-77 loss to then-No. 4 Louisville. The other loss, 73-64 to Virginia Tech, is an outlier, as Mangakahia had just five turnovers. Then, a week after the Louisville loss, when SU played Wake Forest, Mangakahia orchestrated SU’s offense perfectly. With 4:34 left in the second quarter, Mangakahia caught the ball at the top of the arc. SU trailed, 38-19. Finklea-Guity came from the low post and set a ball screen on Mangakahia’s defender. As Finklea-Guity slipped toward the basket unmarked, Mangakahia floated her a pass for an easy two. At game’s end, SU was victorious, overcoming a 21-point deficit on the road. Mangakahia had zero turnovers in a game for the first time all season. “Sometimes I’m really stressing and nervous,” Mangakahia said, “telling myself I need to limit turnovers. That game, I wasn’t thinking about it as much and I just played freely.” Hopefully for SU, she plays freely for the foreseeable future. aegraham@syr.edu | @A_E_Graham

mistakes coach, Jim Boeheim, summed up like this: “Bad mistake. Bad mistake.” With 32.6 seconds left, Syracuse came out of its timeout down two points with a chance to tie or take the lead in a game that Syracuse clawed back into after a barrage of North Carolina 3s seemed to put it out of reach. The Orange in-bounded to point guard Frank Howard and Chukwu set a high ball-screen instead of the downscreen that Boeheim called to free up star guard Tyus Battle. “Coach drew up a play,” Chukwu said, “and I thought it was a different play.” Howard saw the miscommunication and adjusted. He didn’t want to lose the ball driving, so he figured he’d pull-up for 3 from the left wing, a shot he’d hit before. But this time, it bounced off the far side of the rim. “We messed up,” Howard said. The offense, overall, stayed in the groove it’s found in the last five games but late failures to execute doomed the Orange. After Howard’s miss, North Carolina’s Joel Berry hit a pair at the free-throw line to ice the game. It was a marquee win that never was for Syracuse, because the team failed to ever regain its first lead since 3-2. It only ever managed to tie. Syracuse knotted things back up at 3:07, when Battle hit a pull-up jumper after a tough layup and the season-high Carrier Dome crowd of 27,165 reached a roar that became a singularity of deafening sound. On the next possession, Chukwu stole the ball from UNC’s Theo Pinson, who had a team-high 23 points, but Syracuse forward Oshae Brissett missed a 3 and North Carolina once again had the ball. The two teams circled one another trying to land the knockout blow. When, seconds later, UNC grabbed an offensive rebound and Berry missed a 3 — a rarity for him Wednesday night — the Dome seemed ready for the roof to open.

Syracuse’s best shot at its second attempt to finally regain a lead came from a Battle 3-pointer that bounced out to near the free-throw line, where Chukwu snagged it. He held the ball above his head, arms almost fully extended above his 7-foot-2 frame. Then, he brought the ball down and Berry pounced. “We did everything we could offensively to win,” Boeheim said. “When you get tied, you can’t make a turnover in that situation.” Boeheim compared Chukwu’s turnover to Brissett’s decision to shoot a 3-pointer late against Florida State in SU’s loss five weeks ago. “We talked about (Brissett’s shot after the FSU game),” Boeheim continued. “It was a terrible time to take that shot. We’re driving, we’re scoring. It’s just a really bad play. Paschal gets the rebound and then gives it to Joel Berry. You can’t do that.” With 1:39 to go, Berry converted the steal with a crafty layup from the left side and Syracuse couldn’t respond. But with a chance to close out the game, Berry missed a dagger 3. That’s when the Orange called a timeout. Chukwu walked slowly to the huddle, head down. When he arrived, assistant coach Allen Griffin, fellow center Bourama Sidibe, walk-ons and others slapped him on the chest and the back to tell him hey, everything’s good. Then, Boeheim gathered everyone around and said one thing while Chukwu heard another. Seconds later, Berry walked down the floor to the free-throw line with a chance to squash the Orange’s last efforts to wedge themselves back into a game UNC had tried to stiff-arm them from all night. “I called a play thinking that Joel would end up making an open 3 at the top of the key, and I just thought he’d make the sucker,” said UNC head coach Roy Williams. “Then he didn’t make it. So, when he got the free throws, I said, ‘You missed the 3, how about making the free throws and let’s get out of town.’” sjfortie@syr.edu | @Sam4TR

very team plays with its own tempo. For No. 10 North Carolina and its highoctane offense — with an average possession length of 15.5 seconds — there was just one speed: fast. For SU and its harassing 2-3 zone, it’s about slowing the game down and forcing opponents to look for second and third options. And in a back-and-forth game that came down to the final minutes, the true winner was speed. Early on, UNC made precision passes faster than SU’s zone could rotate. On one possession after a made Orange shot, UNC

shot the ball nine seconds into the possession. It missed, grabbed the offensive rebound and kicked out for 3-pointer shot three seconds later that went in. Syracuse (18-10, 7-8 Atlantic Coast) needed to be near perfect to pull off a win against arguably the hottest team in the conference. It needed to be near perfect to boost an NCAA tournament resume that came off life support with recent wins at Louisville and Miami. And while the Orange had good spurts of play all night, even tying the game with two minutes left, the Tar Heels (22-7, 11-5) showed the complete package in a 78-74 win in the Carrier see pace page 14

SU falters late against No. 10 UNC Mangakahia balances turnovers, passing By Sam Fortier

Paschal Chukwu leaned up against the locker room wall, burrowed his hands deep into the pockets of his puffy, gray winter coat and stared over everyone and across the room. He spoke haltingly, trying to keep his voice steady and sometimes paused to dab at his eyes. He relived the key moment in Syracuse’s (18-10, 7-8 Atlantic Coast) 78-74 loss to No. 10 North Carolina (22-7, 11-5) in the Carrier Dome on Wednesday night and leaned his head back against the wall.

The magic number for Tiana Mangakahia is eight. Playing point guard and running the offense, Mangakahia has the ball in her hands for a majority of the game, and when she turns the ball over eight times or more, Syracuse often loses. So far this season, Mangakahia’s averaged 4.5 turnovers in wins as opposed to 8.6 in losses. “For any game the goal is to stay under five,” Mangakahia said. “More than five is not good.

I want zero.” Taking care of the ball is key for Mangakahia and Syracuse (20-7, 7-6 Atlantic Coast) with two regular season games remaining and the ACC tournament looming. Save for a handful of outliers, the eight-turnover trend holds strong across Mangakahia’s body of work this season, so when the Orange visits North Carolina (14-13, 4-10) on Thursday, it’ll hope its star point guard, who leads the country in assists per game with 9.9, keeps the turnovers to a minimum
