University still searching for origin of Campus Lake toxins ANNA SPOERRE | @ASpoerre_DE

Despite multiple tests conducted this semester on pipes surrounding Campus Lake, there is still no definitive source of high E. coli levels in the water, according to Phil Gatton, director of the university’s Plant and Service Operations. RJN Group Inc., a professional engineering and specialty field services firm, partnered with the university to test pipes surrounding Campus Lake this fall. The most recent tests used cameras to inspect the inside condition of the pipes after smoke tests in September indicated potential leaks in the system. Testing has cost the university $63,500, including $25,000 for the camera test alone. Three cameras with LED lights were guided through the pipe system, Gatton said. He said results received by the university last week concluded the nearly 60-year-old pipes to be in surprisingly good condition. While results did not indicate major issues with the pipes, he said there is concern that as manholes age, they become more porous and water can seep into the sewer system from storm pipes. He said some of the manholes, which are made of brick and mortar, may be deteriorating. He said this is also a concern vice versa: if sewage pipes became pressurized from liquid coming in through a leak, contents would get into the storm pipes that are connected to the lake. However, Gatton said this would be a rare occurrence. A section of storm sewer pipe was found broken near Lentz Hall, and Gatton said it has the potential to effect the sewer pipes around it. “We do not believe we are putting raw sewage into the lake,” he said. He also said if while not likely, in certain conditions there is a chance it could have happened in the past. The physical plant has also conducted soil boring tests. Last week, four soil samples were taken by boring 28 feet into the ground between Lentz Hall and the lake to further investigate the abnormally high groundwater E. coli levels. The results reaffirmed previous tests conducted by zoology professor Marjorie Brooks, which had also found an unusually high concentration of E. coli in the groundwater. Please see LAKE | 3

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Rachel Slick, a senior from Roscoe studying social work and Spanish, leads a Zumba class Monday at the Recreation Center. “I like working out and I like people,” Slick said. “I think teaching ﬁtness is a cool way to inspire other people to work out, too.” Slick has been teaching classes at the Recreation Center for more than two years. “She rocks,” said Anna Marie Burke, a former ﬁtness instructor who attends Slick’s class. Burke said she has taken various classes and there is something for everyone.

Group fitness classes to be free next semester CORY RAY | @coryray_DE

The Recreation Center today announced the elimination of $25 group fitness pass fee next semester. While patrons will no longer have to pay for activities such as Zumba, where an instructor leads a group in exercise, less classes will be offered. Recreation Center Director Troy Vaughn said there are about 45 to 50 classes per week,

but about 35 will be offered next semester. Sally Wright, associate director of programs at the Recreation Center, said the reduction of classes allowed the center to eliminate the fee. A schedule of classes has yet do be decided, but Wright said the popularity of classes and heavy traffic times at the center are being considered to maximize student use. Group fitness passes were created

in spring 2013 to offset costs such as paying class instructors. However, because of decreasing participation, the center looked at other ways it could better provide services to students. During the first two or three weeks of each semester, group fitness classes are free to Recreation Center members and Vaughn said participation is so strong that many classes are completely

filled. But, he said, the amount of participation drops significantly. Wright also said about 600 passes were sold in fall 2014, compared to about 400 this semester. Tori Gusewelle, a senior from Worden studying human nutrition and dietetics, said she’s noticed a decrease in class sizes since she started instructing a year ago, and after free trial periods end.

Architecture students construct plans for 2017 eclipse observation SHANNON ALLEN | @ShannonAllen_DE

In August 2017, people across the world will be able to see the first total solar eclipse in 26 years, but those in Carbondale may get the best view. Bob Baer, an SIUC physics department staff member, is leading a project of 11 architecture students to draft plans for an observation space at the SIU Farms Dark Site. The Farm is west of campus and was chosen because of its dark, secluded grounds. “People from all over the world will be viewing this eclipse,” Baer said. “The Superbowl is a tiny event compared to this.” Baer said since Carbondale is the closest city to the greatest duration point of the eclipse, about 50,000 people will be able to view it from

@DAILYEGYPTIAN

Saluki Stadium and on TV screens in the SIU Arena. However, he said those places are unable to accommodate the number of people anticipated to travel to the area to see it. Chad Schwartz, assistant professor of architectural studies and interior design, has spent the semester helping students create their observatory designs. “I was contacted by the physics department to create a project for viewing the eclipse,” Schwartz said. “The students did all the design work.” Baer said although 2017 may be far from now, the project will require a large amount of grant funding that has yet to be requested. “If we had the money, the actual construction of the project would go quickly,” Baer said.

Baer and other physics department staff members will pick ideas from one to three of the students’ projects in hopes of eventually building an actual structure to view the eclipse. Students presented their plans to the public Monday in Quigley Hall. Teresa Meyer, a junior from St. Louis studying architecture, was one of 11 students to create a design, which was required to have three phases. The first phase of each project was meant to include the most important design elements so those components could be prioritized for financially-efficient construction. In Meyer’s case, it was a roll-off roof. Meyer designed this to allow for viewing from the west and north. The students had to pick one part of their design to emphasize on, so

Meyer chose to draw and construct a planetarium seating area. The planetarium would provide guests with an inside screening of the eclipse. Phases two and three consisted of details not necessarily vital to an observatory’s functioning that could be added in future expansions with more funding. Meyer intends for the planetarium to be used both during the day and night, so she suggested putting in a rooftop coffee shop. “I wanted to get back into my artistic roots, so I decided to free-hand my drawing of the planetarium,” Meyer said. “This project was a lot of fun and it was worth the time I put into it.” Shannon Allen can be reached at SAllen@dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3325.

GROUP FITNESS CLASS LINEUP SPRING 2016

“Last semester was a lot better,” Gusewelle said. “As soon as the free passes are over, there’s less than half the people usually for most of the passes.” Because group classes see a lot traffic in the first few weeks of school before the passes go into effect, Wright anticipates having free classes throughout the year may lead to overcrowding and people may need to be turned away because of class capacity limits. Wright said students can sign up online to ensure their spot. Wright anticipates the potential for overcrowding with free classes because of heavy attendance in previous free trial period classes. She said to avoid turning attendees away, peoples will be able to reserve a spot in classes online. Gusewelle expects the numbers of participants to rise next semester. “As a college student, I think a lot of people will find an excuse not to do something — just the idea that they have to go upstairs to get a fitpass kind of keep them from doing that,” Gusewelle said. “And, of course, the financial situation there makes a difference. It’s easier for them to make excuses not to go to classes, but this kind of takes that away.” Offering free classes will not change the student Recreation Center fee, Wright said. Although instructors may see a reduction in the number of classes they teach, Vaughn said no positions will be terminated. He said assistants will now help instructors in more popular classes such as zumba and basic aerobics, which will allow some student employees to continue working. “This is beyond the money,” Vaughn said. “This is about getting our patrons and our students participating and being involved — particularly with all the stress students have today with classes and homework and social activities. We need to be providing the best possible opportunities for recreation for our people. Cory Ray can be reached cray@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3326

Gatton said some individuals thought the lake’s high nutrient and cyanobacteria levels came from E. coli in west campus storm and sewer pipes. “We’re having a hard time proving and believing that it came from Thompson Point unless it came from an unusual event,” he said. RJN recommended the university begin a maintenance program for either repairing or replacing the aging pipes, he said. Gatton is meeting with the faculty Senate at 1 p.m. Tuesday to discuss the state of the lake, present the most recent test results and discuss what action should be taken next.

Local rock ‘n’ roll lives beneath the rafters SAM BEARD | @SAMBEARD_DE

In the loud, smoke-filled and dimly lit basements of Carbondale, the city’s underground music scene is in full bloom. From the bars to large-scale drinking parties and various events on campus, there is a lot to do in the city. However, upon digging deeper, one can find an open and eclectic group of individuals that have created something different. A show rocks one of the community’s four D.I.Y. house venues at least once a week. “D.I.Y. stands for Do It Yourself. As a general ethos, it’s about taking direct action to live independently from capitalist society. Some of us are creating safer spaces for people of all ages, genders, skin colors, sexual orientations and abilities,” according to Do D.I.Y., an online catalog of the global underground artistic community, including Carbondale’s scene. Adaline Tucker, a senior from Champaign studying studio arts, said the city’s small but lively scene offers regional and touring acts an opportunity to play for attendees in an open and safe space. Tucker lives at The Swamp, one of the city’s show houses, and said she has met people from across the country who visit Carbondale specifically for its culture since moving in three years ago. Each basement venue offers a different experience for those who visit the anti-establishment establishments. The Swamp, which is hosting the rock band “Single Player” at 9 p.m. Dec. 30, lets attendees warm their toes by a small backyard bonfire. Tucker often has a batch of curry simmering in her kitchen’s cauldron, filling the stomachs of hungry guests, and the house, with tempting aromas. The Taco Stand, which was recently revived after a brief hiatus, tends to draw a larger crowd than its counterparts. Pop-

Aidan Osborne | D AILY E GYPTIAN Dalton McKinley, left, the lead singer for the band Undeserving from Bloomington, and Chris Biggs, the band’s bass player, perform Thursday at the Taco Stand. Biggs said the band often travels for shows and would rather play at smaller venues because they are more intimate and bring a sense of togetherness. He said he believes a sense of togetherness helps the community thrive. “We’re always traveling, and being hours, and even states, away from our hometown makes it hard to feel welcome, and we felt at home at the Taco Stand,” he said.

punk, hardcore and Japanese rock ‘n’ roll are only some of the genres heard at the home this semester. Skihaus, the flagship basement venue in town, facilitates a variety of shows. Events are not restricted to live music, as it has hosted a freak show and two art exhibitions in the last year. Lost Cross claims to be the oldest punk house in the country. Layers of graffiti, posters and concert bills plaster the historic home’s interior. In an interview with the DAILY EGYPTIAN in 1998, Lost Cross

co-founder James Ricks said he moved into the house in 1986. The home has been hosting shows for the past 29 years. The people who live in Carbondale’s show houses don’t make money off of the shows they host, and Tucker said organizers participate solely for the experience. Peter Rogalla, a former SIUC student, said he moved into The Taco Stand because he had always wanted to live in a punk house, although he does not limit the

Marissa Novel | D AILY E GYPTIAN Sasha Conda, an electronic artist from Minneapolis, breaks down a table after his psychedelic cyber-funk set at The Swamp on Sept. 8. “I definitely enjoyed it,” Conda said about his first time in the region.

performances in his basement to punk music. He said the D.I.Y. network benefits those who live in and visit the area in a way commercial music venues and bars cannot. “I’ve met more real and honest people hanging out at house shows in town than I have in any bar,” said Rogalla, who plans to return to the university next semester to study photography and philosophy. “Bars are a place you go to when you want to consume alcohol with friends. The D.I.Y. houses are spaces provided for people of any age to come and enjoy live music in a friendly environment — they’re unlike anywhere else in Carbondale.” Tucker said the underground counterculture build a strong music and arts network that reverberates throughout the region and brings people together. Rogalla said the bonds of friendship and solidarity that hold the scene together carry over into the community. “The D.I.Y. scene in Carbondale fosters a culture of family-like support amongst people who want an escape from the bores of day to day life as a student,” Rogalla said. “Also, being able to see raw talent in a safe environment is more beneficial to individuals than going to a bar or a party and just getting wasted.” Marcus Lappin, the drummer for a Carbondale psychedelic garage rock band Hans Predator, said he prefers performing in basements more than bars.

“There is definitely more interaction in a basement, rather than when we’re playing 30 feet away from the crowd at some bar,” Lappin said. Hans Predator front man Evan Neuman agreed with his bandmate. “I like playing house shows more so than bars,” Neuman said. “Of course bars pay more, but at house shows the band generally gets a better response from the audience.” Some local acts have a tough time getting booked at bars, and often must prove they can pull a crowd before landing a gig. Tucker said bars have their place in the city’s nightlife, but the basements offer independent artists a chance to build a following. “Its easier to approach musicians and bond with other people as a crowd in a basement than at a bar,” Tucker said. “Basements also give smaller local acts who are trying to get their foot in the door a chance to play in front of an audience.” Skihaus will host two shows in the next week: Ohtis — a group from Detroit — and two Carbondale acts, Hey Honey and Kasey Lee Rogers will perform starting at 9 p.m. Thursday. Night Auditor from Nashville, Tenn., Phuesis and Lonely Suit will play Sunday. Rogalla said all newcomers who bring good vibes to the table are welcome.

‘Krampus’ is a fun Christmas surprise JACOB PIERCE @JacobPierce1_DE

“Krampus,” is like a Christmas gift from a cool uncle: nice, but not exactly what you wanted. “Krampus,” directed by Michael Dougherty and starring Adam Scott and Toni Collette, gives viewers an excellent dark, horror comedy that ends up lacking any punch. Max, a young boy who still believes in Santa Claus, is having his holiday season ruined once again by terrible cousins. Frustrated at the lack of holiday spirit, he rips up his letter to Santa in anger. Unfortunately, this brings the wrath of Krampus, a demon known as the shadow of St. Nicholas, who causes terror to those ruining Christmas. Max and his family

The Jacob Show must come together and try survive the holiday demon.

PG or PG-13 horror movies are hit or miss. For every classic like “The Ring” or “Poltergeist,” a dozen mediocre films like “The Fog” or “Darkness Falls” come around. The restraints of the rating can help focus a horror film by making them use more subtle techniques, but usually end up just restricting what makes the genre so great. “Krampus” is a film in need of a little less control. The lack of normal horror movie mayhem is probably most significant problem this movie has. With a PG-13 rating, a lot of the action has no finality and no stakes, and the movie is limited. A conservative rating can work, like in the work of Joe Dante, a filmmaker this film often pays homage to in style. But, Dougherty is unable to capture the same thrills and tension in “Krampus” that a Dante movie

Grammys 2016: Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift and the Weeknd lead the nominees Randy Lewis | LOS ANGELES TIMES

Rapper Kendrick Lamar, pop superstar Taylor Swift and Canadian R&B experimentalist the Weeknd led the field in the 2016 Grammy Award nominations, collectively taking 25 nods in this year’s industry-bestowed honors. Lamar is well out in front of the field with 11 nominations, the bulk of them tied to his almost universally lauded third album, “To Pimp a Butterfly,” but also including two for his collaboration with Swift on her hit “Bad Blood” and one for co-writing Kanye West’s nominated rap song “All Day.” Lamar’s politically charged album is nominated in an especially diverse category alongside Swift’s blockbuster “1989,” the Weeknd’s breakthrough collection “Beauty Behind the Madness,” Alabama Shakes’ sonically adventurous “Sound & Color” and country singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton’s powerfully reflective “Traveller.” “This all comes from artists today who are emboldened, who are fearless and who are not willing, or wanting to be, sort of put in a nice little box with a bow on it,” Recording Academy President Neil Portnow told The Times. “Artists today have the ability to be exposed to multiple kinds of genres in music, and we’ll give credit to the world of technology we live in that gives easy access to whatever direction you want to head in.” Swift (who, like the Weeknd, collected seven nominations) and British pop singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran scored in three of the top four general field categories: record, album and song, with Sheeran nominated in the album category not for his own album but for his participation on the Weeknd’s latest. Song nominees run from Lamar’s “Alright,” which touches on police

brutality, to Swift’s tongue-in-cheek celebration of romantic fickleness, “Blank Space.” The other contenders are Little Big Town’s sly play on controversies over same-sex relations, “Girl Crush,” written by Nashville pros Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna and Liz Rose; Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth’s hit from the “Furious 7” soundtrack, “See You Again,” written by Puth, Andrew Cedar, Justin Franks and Cameron Thomaz; and Sheeran’s vulnerable “Thinking Out Loud,” for which he collaborated with Amy Wadge. The best new artist category singles out Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett, British guitaristsinger James Bay, country singersongwriter Sam Hunt, YouTube phenom Tori Kelly and pop singer Meghan Trainor. Among this year’s other multiple Grammy nominees, producersongwriter Max Martin, who was deeply involved in Swift’s “1989,” has six nominations, and five apiece go to Canadian rapper Drake and recording engineers Tom Coyne, Serban Ghenea and John Hanes, who are recognized for their work on record and album nominees. The absence of Madonna and her latest album “Rebel Heart” among this year’s nominees is likely to be viewed by some as a snub of the veteran singer. And despite a massive promotional campaign behind “Cass County,” Don Henley’s first solo album in 15 years received just one nomination, in the Americana roots song category, for “The Cost of Living,” which he wrote with Merle Haggard. Likewise, Dr. Dre’s well-received “Compton,” his first solo album in 16 years, generated only one nomination for the esteemed hip-hop star and producer, in the rap album category. That’s something of a surprise given the high-profile year he enjoyed

thanks to the glowing reception for the “Straight Outta Compton” film, which detailed the rise and fall of his former group, N.W.A. Overall, nine artists scored four nominations each, and an additional 17 are up for three awards apiece. With more than 400 nominations across 83 categories for 2016, there is plenty more recognition spread out among the music community. In fact, if West’s Paul McCartney collaboration “All Day” wins the rap song category, a total of 19 songwriters can line up to take the stage Feb. 15 at the Grammys broadcast at Staples Center in Los Angeles when winners are announced. Lamar’s album, should it win, would generate 30 awards for the collective group of performers, producers and engineers who are nominated. That’s reflective of the broadly collaborative nature of hip-hop, which typically generates the most nominations for individual artists, who often find they are competing with themselves in some categories. Indeed, even if Lamar wins in every category he’s nominated in, the most Grammy statuettes he can hope to collect is nine, because he is nominated opposite himself in the rap song and music video categories. Swift also has double nominations in the album category for “1989,” both as the artist and as one of the producers of a collection that has sold more than 5 million copies since it was released last year. In addition, her single “Blank Space” is nominated both for record of the year — which honors vocal performance, songwriting and production — and again in the song category, which is strictly a songwriter’s award. Her other nominations are for pop solo performance, pop duo or group performance, pop vocal album and music video.

such as “Gremlins” did. However, this movie is a fantastic horror comedy. It works wonders when trying to be comedic. By enlisting the talents of comedians like Scott, David Koechner and Conchata Ferrell, the film shows its intentions from the first scenes of its tongue in cheek nature. Adding in bits of humor with horror elements help make this movie entertaining. Some of the film’s best scenes involve ridiculous terror, like killer gingerbread men. When not using computergenerated imagery like gingerbread men, the film uses a lot of practical

effects that make each creature interesting and unique. The majority of the creatures, including Krampus, are people in elaborate suits or creations on set. This makes a lot of difference when it comes believability. CGI can look great, and practical effects can fail on any movie, but on a small film, computer animation is less lifelike. For all of its bonkers ideas, even something as crazy as a killer Jack in the Box feels organic and real. Jacob Pierce can be reached at JPierce@dailyegyptian.com or on 536-3325

‘Star Wars’ film full of references to films that came before Colin Covert MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE

Shakespeare stole from classic texts like a kleptomaniac, carrying their complex plots, star-crossed lovers and antique events back to his Globe Theatre. Dr. Dre created multiplatinum albums by sampling well-known recordings into new hip-hop harmonies. And such are the humble origins of one of the most iconic movie franchises in history. George Lucas mashed together the “Star Wars” saga from borrowed scraps of the past, building his world with ideas, characters, images and music born a long time ago and cinemas far, far away. As “The Force Awakens” nears its Dec. 18. release, “Star Wars” scholars call those borrowed cornerstones a vital link to the franchise’s cross-generational appeal and staying power. Call it homage if you like, imitation if you must, but don’t confuse it with coincidence, said Bryan Young, editor in chief of bigshinyrobot. com and co-host of the weekly “Star Wars” podcast “Full of Sith.” “Good artists borrow and great artists steal,” he said. In his interviews with Lucas’ filmmaking collaborators, he found that any parallel to another film was never just a coincidence. “They said the only way you could communicate with George was talking through films. Everything was a film reference, and he was an encyclopedia of those film references.” He noted that each “Force Awakens” trailer contains numerous carefully shaped visual callbacks to the original trilogy. The shots of Rey, a callow nobody stuck on a planet she wants to leave, wistfully peering into the distance just like Luke did in 1977, are designed for tantalizing nostalgia. The fabled “Star Wars” opening screen, introducing moviegoers to the plot with text scrolling outward into the stars, explicitly parallels the crawling prelude of “Flash Gordon,” a 1936 serial with Alex Raymond’s comic-strip hero battling an evil space emperor. Lucas also borrowed his film’s first action shot — an enormous Imperial Star Destroyer gliding ominously overhead. It was a scene and camera angle created nine years before in Stanley Kubrick’s revolutionary “2001: A Space Odyssey.” The victory celebration by the heroes that concludes the film was explicitly based on “Triumph of the Will,” a striking documentary of the 1934 Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg by Adolf Hitler protegee Leni Riefenstahl. Although Lucas despised the service to which she lent her talent, he hailed her modernity and acknowledged his indebtedness. “I think he’s a great artist and he’s definitely stolen some of the greatest bits from the greatest movies,” Young said. “Our language works by building on what has come before. The language of cinema works the same way, and I think ‘Star Wars’ does it better than anyone else.”

Salukis face tough tests on court

Sports

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2015

TED WARD | @TedWard_DE

SIU women’s basketball will face University of Illinois and Morehead State University this week. The team plays Illinois (5-1) on Tuesday in Champaign and Morehead State (4-5) on Saturday at SIU Arena. Illinois has three players averaging double-digit scoring per game and are led by sophomore center Chatrice White, who averages 17.3 points and 8.7 rebounds a game. White may cause a match up problem for SIU if senior center Dyana Pierre gets in foul trouble early. U of I freshman guard Cierra Rice averages 13.8 points and senior guard Kyley Simmons, who was a member of the 2012 Big 12 All-Freshman Team at Mizzou, averages 13.3 points a game. Simmons is also third in the Big Ten shooting .459 from behind the three-point line. Rice is fifth in the Big Ten with a .587 field goal percentage. SIU is outscoring opponents 67.9 to 67.7 this season while Illinois is outscoring opponents 76.8 points to 57.7. Morehead State, despite a losing record, will still be a formidable opponent that could be problematic for SIU. The Eagles ranks first in the Ohio Valley Conference with 85.7 points per game. But, they also rank last in the conference for giving up points with 83.9 per game. MSU has six players averaging double-digit points, led by junior center Shay Steele with 15.1. Both SIU and Morehead State rank first in their conferences in offensive rebounds, but the Eagles rank last allowing 47.3 rebounds a game. The Salukis need better rebounding and for sophomore forward/guard Kylie Giebelhausen to be more consistent. Morehead State ranks first in the OVC for offensive rebounds with 18.7 per game and consistently rank second with a .385 offensive rebound percentage. SIU ranks first in the MVC with 15.6 offensive rebounds and seventh in the league with a defensive rebound percentage of .640. Giebelhausen is shooting 27.9 percent from the three-point line this season and has shot less than 40 percent in three games. She is averaging 9.7 points per game and scored a season-high 16 points against Tennessee State on Nov. 21. Ted Ward can be reached at tward@ dailyegyptian.com or 536-3304.

Stein searching for first win against alma mater THOMAS DONLEY | @tdonleyDE

The SIU women’s basketball team is heading to its coach’s old stomping grounds Tuesday in search of a resume-building win. The Salukis have a chance to beat a team from one of the Power Five conferences for the first time since 1993, and coach Cindy Stein can beat her alma mater, University of Illinois, for the first time as a head coach. Stein played at U of I from 1981-83 and is eighth all-time at the school in assists with 323. Her 6.1 dimes per game in 1982-83 are the second most for a single season. “It’s a game that I want to win badly,” she said. “But I’ve played them so many times here and other places that I’ve been. It’s just another opponent that you want to try to knock off.”

Stein is 0-7 in her career against the Fighting Illini. She went 0-5 against them from 19982010 with University of Missouri before losing once in each of her first two years at SIU. Stein is 0-2 coaching games in Champaign. Senior center Dyana Pierre said Stein does not talk with players about beating U of I. “I don’t know how she feels about it,” she said. “But we want to win.” Stein said beating her old school is not her highest priority for Tuesday night. “Any time that you can beat a Power Five conference team, that’s a big deal,” she said. “If we can get that accomplished, that would mean more than [beating] my alma mater.” The last time SIU beat a team from the Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, SEC or Pac-12 was Dec. 20, 1993 when they beat Arizona State 73-57

at SIU Arena. The Salukis are 21-13 all-time against the Illini, but have not beaten them since 1993. U of I came last to SIU Arena on Dec. 6, 2014 and left with an 86-42 win. “I felt like I got punched in the mouth,” senior power forward Azia Washington said. “It wasn’t a good feeling. We wanted to do some great things, and that kind of woke us up.” Pierre said beating Illinois on Tuesday would be a big boost for SIU. “It would be great,” she said. “Our focus is on trying to get to the NCAA Tournament, so that would look nice on our record.” Thomas Donley can be reached at Tdonley@ Dailyegyptian.com or at 536-3307

Free throws not coming free for men’s basketball SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

The court is cleared and no defenders are in a shooter’s face during free throws — the ball just has to be put in the basket. This season the SIU men’s basketball team is shooting free throws at a 70.4 percent rate, which ranks 126th in the country and sixth in the Missouri Valley Conference. This is a slight improvement from last year’s 70.2 percent mark, which ranked seventh in the MVC. Junior forward Sean O’Brien said consistency has been the team’s main issue. In the Salukis’ nine games so far this year, the team has shot less than 65 percent in three games. But, they have have also shot above 80 percent in another three, including a perfect nine for nine in the lone loss of the year against UTEP. Three of the seven players who have taken at least 10 free throws are shooting less than 70 percent from the free-throw line, including junior starting point guard Mike Rodriguez.

Rodriguez said consistency has also been an issue for him and free throws are both mental and physical. “It’s really just repetition [in practice] and having more focus at the line,” he said. Coach Barry Hinson said teams can’t do much to fix free throw shooting, but he has made it a point of emphasis this year. O’Brien said that practice scrimmages are officiated with more fouls called, which results in more free throws during practice. “Coach is calling a lot of fouls defensively, making sure we keep our hands off [opposing players],” he said. The extra free throws in practice may be benefiting the Salukis, as the team has shot 77 percent from the line in the last four games. A boost in free throw percentage may help SIU in the future — the Salukis are fourth in the MVC in free throws taken per game, shooting an average of 22.9 per game.
