Morgan Timms | D AILY E GYPTIAN Tierra Carpenter, a sophomore from Lansing studying TV and Digital Media Radio, addresses the SIU Board of Trustees on Wednesday at the Stone Center.

Carpenter and about 50 others walked from the Communications Building to the Stone Center as part of a sexual assault awareness walk. The group, known as “The Consent Party”, asked the board to reconsider multiple cases they believed were mishandled and its sexual assault policies.

‘You’re a Survivor’ walk appeals to Board of Trustees SHANNON ALLEN | @ShannonAllen_DE

“Rape is not a choice, now hear our voice,” more than 50 people chanted as part of a sexual assault awareness walk on Wednesday, calling for the university to change how it handles claims of sexual assault.

Participants held signs with sayings such as “Compliance is not enough” and “University of Sex Crimes” as they journeyed across campus to express their concerns at the SIU Board of Trustee’s executive meeting in the Stone Center.

Tierra Carpenter, a sophomore from Lansing studying radio and television, organized the walk and said she was sexually assaulted in her dorm this September.

She said she went to the hospital within a few days of the attack, but was persuaded to

not complete a rape kit because time had passed.

Because of this, she said her request for a no-trespass order against her attacker was not granted.

“While my investigation was going on, I told the detective in charge of my case their department has very poor communication because there was always someone telling me something that someone else at the department ‘should’ve told me,’” Carpenter said.

Robyn Del Campo, a freshman from Bloomingdale studying wildlife habitat management and conservation, led with Carpenter as the group began walking from the Communications Building. She said she was sexually assaulted in her dorm in August.

SIU Springfield medical Service providers, recipients clinic to double in size affected by budget deadlock ANNA SPOERRE | @ASpoerre_DE

The SIU Family Medicine Clinic is undergoing expansions to its Springfield facility.

Janet Albers, chairwoman of the school’s department of family and community medicine, said the $16 million expansion will double the 30,000 square foot clinic’s size while adding 48 exam and four procedure rooms. The older part of the building will also be renovated.

Albers said the Springfield clinic is one of four SIU-affiliated sites for family and community medicine in the state. The others are in Decatur, Quincy and Carbondale.

The project is being funded

by Memorial Medical Center, Albers said. The university is not paying for renovations and does

not own the building.

“The purpose primarily in expanding is to provide more access for patients,” she said.

“We’ve outgrown the space that we have.”

Albers said the Affordable Care Act caused the number of patients with insurance coverage to increase. The clinic’s patient base has grown by 40 percent since becoming a federally qualified health center in 2012, she said.

The office now has more than 18,000 registered patients.

For university medical and physician’s assistant students, the first year of classes take place on the Carbondale campus and the following years are at various offcampus locations.

A lack of funding during the state’s budget impasse has caused many state-funded agencies to seek alternate resources to continue operations.

The Southern Illinois Coalition for the Homeless in Marion is an organization impacted by worsening financial issues, as a state budget has not been passed since the July 1 deadline.

The organization, while not a homeless shelter, works to provide affordable housing and supportive services to the homeless and near homeless.

Camille Dorris, executive director of the Southern Illinois Coalition for the Homeless, said the lack of finances has caused the non-profit to use reserve

funding and take out a line of credit with a bank to continue daily operations.

“I think the bigger, long range problem is if this isn’t figured out quickly, we may have to cut services all together,” Dorris said.

Dorris said the organization is also at risk of losing funds from the federal government if funds from the state are not made available. It needs to receive money from the state to reach the threshold required to also receive federal funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The coalition had to decrease hours for employees and reduce home visits and assisting clients with transportation to meetings to save money.

Properties were sold and fundraising efforts have been made to

help counteract the lack of funding.

Dorris said there is property in Harrisburg not suitable for housing without needed repairs, but since the group cannot afford to fix damages, they are instead trying to sell it.

She said the group would rather keep its properties and allow people to live there with affordable rent, but selling houses is another way to gather necessary finances.

Dorris said with other community services being cut, she has seen an increase in people who need services, including residents of places as far as Cairo and Mt. Vernon. However, she said they provide second-stage housing and those who have an immediate problem often have to go to a shelter.

Del Campo said the university did not consider all the evidence available during their investigation. Carpenter, Del Campo and community members wrote letters in November to university officials about sexual assault cases they believe were mishandled.

The group said interm Chancellor Brad Colwell’s response to the letters said the university focuses on students’ safety, investigations of assaults are completed by welltrained staff members and all available evidence is considered.

When the group attended the executive meeting, Carpenter was

given three minutes to express her concerns as part of the allotted time for public comment, university spokesperson Rae Goldsmith said.

Donna Mannering, vice chair of the board, asked Carpenter to “conclude please” after she spoke for three minutes, but prior to finishing her story.

“We say your primary concern is protecting your public image, and not the safety of your students,” the group said in unison.

Goldsmith said the board welcomes public concerns.

Consent Party member Casey Daniels asked on behalf of the organization that the board re-examine its sexual assault policies.

“As the Board of Trustees, we recognize your role in shaping university policies, and we appeal to your responsibility towards staff, students and community to take action now,” Daniels said.

The Consent Party also said they want Linda McCabe Smith, associate chancellor for institutional diversity, and Casey Parker, director of the Office of Diversity and Equity, to be held accountable by the university for any actions found to violate students’ rights such as cases of sexual assault, racism, sexism and hate-crimes.

Albers said she hopes the training program will help more students practice in under-served areas.

“It’s really a good interprofessional learning environment,” Albers said.

Construction, which began over the summer, should be completed

by May. Albers said there is discussion of also expanding the family medical clinic in Carbondale.

She said the possibility of constructing a new site in the area is being discussed with Memorial Hospital of Carbondale.

“We’re excited because of the training opportunities that will then help serve central and southern Illinois,” Albers said.

revenue to end the harm that is happening right now and prevent further harm. We support passing a fully funded yearlong budget and that should be a priority ahead any nonebudget items,” she said.

Cushman said the Responsible Budget Coalition does direct lobbying with lawmakers and the governor, and media try bring awareness of the harm happening to underserved people in different communities. She also said the group also speaks at rallies and does community education about the impact and solutions to issues like homelessness.

“I think that we can continue with the line of credit that we have and everything probably through midDecember,” Dorris said.

At that point, she thinks things may change and layoffs may be made.

“We’re loosing good people in the social service field right now because so many places are having to cut back and cut services,” Dorris said. “And that’s detrimental to the clients too.”

The university’s medical school has a residency training program in family and community medicine for students, Albers said. There are 30 medical school students in the family residency program in addition to physician assistant, nurse practitioner and pharmacy students.

Affirmative action at universities in doubt as U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments DAVID G. SAVAGE | Tribune Washington Bureau

The future of affirmative action at public universities appeared in some doubt Wednesday as Supreme Court justices debated for a second time whether to strike down a race-based admissions policy at the University of Texas.

It was clear that the court’s conservatives, including Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., believe that using affirmative action in admission decisions is unneeded and unconstitutional.

When a university lawyer spoke of the importance of classroom diversity, Roberts asked, “What unique perspective does a minority student bring to a physics class?”

In the past, when the high court has upheld affirmative action, it did so with the understanding that it was a “temporary” measure, the chief justice said. “When do you think your program will be done?” he asked.

The liberals, led by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, spent much of the hour arguing

in defense of the university’s policy.

Sotomayor, the court’s first Latina, grew up in the Bronx and said she had benefited from affirmative action when she was admitted to Princeton University.

“I fear something. I do have a worry” that the court is on the verge of shutting down affirmative action at state universities across the nation, she said.

By contrast, Justice Antonin Scalia questioned whether affirmative action truly benefits black students.

“There are some who contend it does not benefit African-Americans to get them into the University of Texas, where they do not do well, as opposed to having them go to a less advanced school, a slower-track school, where they do well,” he said.

Scalia was referring to the so-called “mismatch theory” originally set out by University of California, Los Angeles law professor Richard Sander, which contends that black students sometimes fare badly if they are admitted to a top-tier law school.

The same students would have done better

had they enrolled in another law school that was somewhat less demanding, the theory holds.

Scalia said he was not convinced the University of Texas needed more black students. “Maybe it ought to have fewer,” he said. “I don’t think it stands to reason that it’s a good thing for the University of Texas to admit as many blacks as possible.”

Washington attorney Gregory Garre, the lawyer for the university, who served as solicitor general, the government’s top appellate lawyer, under President George W. Bush, said the court had rejected that thinking when it upheld limited use of affirmative action in a case from Michigan in 2003.

“I think what experience shows, at Texas, California and Michigan, that now is not the time and this is not the case to roll back student body diversity in America,” he said.

Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, who almost surely holds the deciding vote, voiced frustration because university lawyers could not quantify in detail what role race plays in Texas in determining which students are admitted.

“We’re just arguing the same case again,” Kennedy said at one point, referring to the fact that the court had heard the same case two years ago and sent it back to a lower court for closer review.

The Texas case is complicated because the state has a law guaranteeing admission to the top 10 percent of students in each of its more than 1,000 high schools based on their grades only, with no consideration to race.

Under that policy — which now accounts for about 75 percent of all admissions to the Austin campus — about one-third were Latino or African-American in recent years.

The dispute arose over a supplemental program that currently accounts for the remaining 25 percent of admissions.

A decade ago, when the top-10 percent policy was providing far fewer minority admissions than it is today, the university decided to use race as one of several factors to choose additional freshmen for the class. It’s this policy that was challenged in a lawsuit

by Abigail Fisher, a white applicant who was turned down in 2008.

Chicago mayor apologizes for Laquan McDonald shooting JOHN BYRNE | CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday apologized to aldermen for the police shooting of Laquan McDonald “that happened on my watch.”

“If we’re going to fix it, I want you to understand it’s my responsibility with you,” Emanuel said in a rare speech to the full City Council. “But if we’re also going to begin the healing process, the first step in that journey is my step, and I’m sorry.”

Emanuel, who has dismissed his police superintendent, parted ways with the head of the police shooting review agency and dropped opposition to the release of the McDonald shooting video during the last two weeks, framed up the situation as “a defining moment on

the issues of crime and policing — and the even larger issues of truth, justice and race.”

The address of 40 minutes or so, coming during a crucial time of Emanuel’s tenure, was more of a political speech designed to assuage Chicagoans than one filled with specific plans that several aldermen called for this week to deal with entrenched problems in the Chicago Police Department. Those problems were highlighted nationally by the fatal shooting of black 17-year-old McDonald by a white police officer, the 13 months it took for video of the incident to be made public by court order and for a murder charge to be brought only shortly before the video’s release.

And so the mayor on Wednesday talked about many Chicagoans’ lack of

trust in police officers, and returned to his oft-discussed argument that there are too many guns on Chicago streets.

He reiterated his frequent argument that elected officials and community leaders have a responsibility “to earn back that trust and to change that narrative,” and said there’s a need for police to build trust with young African-Americans.

Emanuel spoke of the larger challenges as ones shared by people throughout Chicago. “This time must be different. It will be a bumpy road, make no mistake about it,” Emanuel said. “It is a painful process, and it is a long journey because of the issues we need to confront. But we as a city will not hesitate in the pursuit of what is right. We cannot shrink from the challenge any more than we can ignore the wrenching video of a

troubled young man, a ward of the state of Illinois, failed by the system, surrounded by the police and gunned down on the streets of Chicago.”

The Rev. Jesse Jackson sat in the front row of the gallery in the City Council chamber to watch Emanuel deliver his speech, which he called “an impassioned address on the extreme duress” of the city.

“The word must become flesh, and we’ll know the value of it then,” Jackson said of Emanuel’s speech.

“It must become a practice, and it must happen immediately. We now know police saw the killing of Laquan McDonald and filed a false report. They should be addressed immediately.”

Jackson called on the federal government not to limit its Justice Department probe to the Police

Department, but also investigate Emanuel’s office and Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez’s office.

He said many questions remain about what Emanuel and Alvarez knew and when they knew it.

“Who saw the tape when and delayed the tape for 13 months?”

Jackson asked. “When subpoenas are issued to testify under oath, then we’ll know who knew what when.”

The real test, Jackson said, will be how Emanuel deals with the stringent Fraternal Order of Police contract that limits police discipline.

Aldermen, many of whom have approved hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements for victims of police brutality while demanding little change in how the department operates, had mixed reactions to the mayor’s talk.

An ode to the athlete class of 2015-16 BRENT MESKE | @brentmeskeDE

SIU athletics does not have one standout senior this year, it has multiple.

The class of 2015-16 has athletes who are far superior than the rest when it comes to athletic ability and accolades.

Mark Iannotti, Taylor Pippen, Jonny Rigby, Josh Freeman, DeAnna Price, Sherry Zhang, Cartaesha Macklin, Dyana Pierre and Anthony Beane have earned accolades through their careers that make them the best senior class to ever play at SIU.

New license allows Carbondale theater chance to serve alcohol

Theater department adapts Eugene O’Neill classic

Jacob Pierce | @JacobPierce1_De

Jacob Pierce |@JacobPierce1_De

AMC Theaters has achieved another step in their quest to serve alcohol in Carbondale.

The Carbondale City Council on Tuesday amended its liquor code to include a “Class K” license, which will allow AMC Theaters to serve alcohol if approved.

“The hurdle for a new classification is certainly a little greater than normal licenses,” said Carbondale City Clerk Jennifer Sorrell.

Once the city creates documentation for the classification, AMC must complete it and the council’s business questionnaire, which includes a series of questions to ensure the business knows applicable city codes and has a viable plan in place.

Approval of a license from the city will take four to six weeks after submission.

She said if approved, AMC would then have to go before the liquor commission to complete another series of tests.

The license will allow AMC to serve alcohol at a bar separate from other concessions, which Sorrell said would require remodeling.

Ethan Richardson, a senior from Benton studying computer science, said he was a unsure if he would drink alcohol while seeing a movie.

“Personally, I don’t know if I would sit down and drink,” he said. “I think it’s kind of boring just sitting in a dark room.”

Richardson said he is not against it, but thinks there is little point.

Even if someone does it with friends, a theater is not a place to socialize, which is an significant reason why people drink, he said. But, he does feel whatever makes people go to the theater is a good idea.

Thomas Campbell, a sophomore from Collinsville studying biochemistry, said he was also somewhat skeptical about how the potential addition may change the moviegoing atmosphere.

“Regardless of what it is, I want to have the best experience I can,” he said. “And if someone is more inclined to be rowdy under the influence of alcohol, that could change the whole thing.”

He said it would be important to make a limit and conduct rule, as it could change the theaters reputation. He also said cost of alcohol coupled with the price of tickets and other concessions could steer people away.

“With tickets being 8 plus dollars, kind of hard to make a routine out of it,” he said.

The McLeod Thewater will once again bring a legendary playwright to the stage.

The university’s theater department is hosting “Beyond the Horizon,” by Eugene O’Neill at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1012 and at 2 p.m on Dec. 13. The show is directed by Nich Radcliffe and will end the 2015 season.

O’Neil is a 20th century playwright who has written plays such as “The Iceman Cometh” and “Long Day’s Journey into Night.” He is a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and was awarded four Pulitzer Prize awards for Best Drama.

Radcliffe, a graduate student in directing from Vinton, Iowa, said O’Neill is one of the country’s first important playwrights. He said O’Neill helped create a style that moved away from the English technique still coming from colonial times.

“When you look at the history of American theater, up until Eugeue O’Neill, we are really just seeing projections and imitations of what has come over from England,” he said.

The American voice starts with O’Neill, as he wrote more complicated, diverse stories and characters in a way few playwrights had at the time, Radcliffe said.

He said “Beyond the Horizon” is about two brothers who end up falling in love with the same woman. Both siblings are very different from each other, with one being an intellectual and the other being more of a farmer type.

“It’s a love story, no matter what anyone tells you about how much death there is,” Radcliffe said. “And it’s not just a love story about a man and a woman. It’s a love story between two brothers.”

Mike Terrana, a sophomore from Carterville studying musical theater, said the play is about dreams, destiny and pursuing ones dreams. He said it involves never giving up hope and

Aidan Osborne | Daily Egyptian Mike Terrana, right, a sophomore from Carterville studying musical theater, portrays his character Robert Mayo during a dress rehearsal of the play “Beyond the Horizon” on Monday in McLeod Theater. In the scene, Robert Mayo explains why he is leaving the family farm to travel on his uncle’s ship for three years to Ruth Mayo, played by Asia Ward, a freshman from Rockford studying musical theater.

always finding the beauty in life.

“Ultimately, it comes down to their choice,” Terrana said. “And what they decide to do effects the rest of their lives.”

He plays Robert Mayo, one of the main characters, who is a poet and educated individual. To get ready for the role, he read a lot of Walt Whitman and Robert Frost.

Terran said the iambic pentameterstyle rhythmic adaptation was a bit frightening at first, but is different than a lot of plays.

“You don’t just have to say the right line,” he said. “But you have to say them in the right way.”

Graham Luker, a junior from Nashville, Tenn. studying musical theater, said the play was daunting when he first read it, as the language is weighty and difficult, but sincere.

“95 percent of our preparation has just been what are we saying and why are we saying this,” he said.

Luker said he prepared for the script by spending a lot of time with it. He

analyzed each paragraph, sentence and single line on its own.

He plays Andy Mayo, brother of Robert, who spends the play trying to save everyone.

At the beginning, he wants to save his relationship with Robert, so he leaves knowing he cannot be there through the Ruth and Robert relationship. The character then tries to protect someone in each act, Luker said.

“Andy is a wanabe hero,” he said.

“He just wants to save somebody.”

“Beyond the Horizon” is $18 for adults and $6 for students, and tickets can be purchased at McLeod Theater and Arena box offices.

There will be a free preshow lecture at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in the MCMA Dean’s Conference Room. Radcliffe said he will talk about O’Neill and how he used his own life in his work.

SIU loses to sister school for first time in history EVAN JONES | @EvanJones_DE

SIU men’s basketball lost to SIUE for the first time in program history by two points Wednesday night.

The Salukis (8-2) hold the series record at 7-1 after SIUE’s (2-7) 76-74 win.

“They deserved to win this game,” coach Barry Hinson said. “Even if we would have won the ball game, we didn’t deserve it.”

Sophomore guard C.J. Carr hit a step-back jump shot with his foot on the three-point arc with 25 seconds left to give the Cougars a lead they wouldn’t lose.

Hinson said he was not confused about whether or not the shot was from three-point range.

“I didn’t want to call a timeout because I didn’t want to give them a chance to double [senior guard] Anthony [Beane],” he said. “I wanted the ball in Anthony’s hands, because obviously if you look at the stat line nobody else wanted to touch the basketball.”

The Cougars’ drew shooting fouls on their first two possessions and converted three of the four free throws.

They made a three-point field goal to go up 6-2 early. The Cougars finished the game 60 percent from behind the three-point line.

SIU committed a turnover on two of their first three possessions, and finished the game with 19.

The Salukis averaged 13 turnovers a game before Wednesday.

Beane started the Saluki offense with a threepointer 2:36 into the game. It was the Salukis’ only three of the half.

Junior center Bola Olaniyan scored seven of the Salukis first 12 points after coming off the bench.

The Cougars went into the bonus after a charge called on Beane with 7:20 remaining in the half.

They had three more minutes of bonus time than the Salukis, but SIU shot seven more free throw attempts in that time.

Aidan Osborne | Daily Egyptian Senior guard Anthony Beane attempts to make a basket Wednesday during SIU’s 76-74 loss to SIUE. Beane scored 21 points during the game.

The Salukis missed five straight free throws late in the half after converting on their first five attempts.

They finished the game shooting 58 percent from the charity stripe.

Olaniyan, Smithpeters and Beane all picked up three personal fouls in the first half.

SIUE carried a 39-37 lead into the half.

Beane opened up the half with a three-point play after being fouled on a layup to give the Salukis their first lead since there were 12 minutes remaining in the first half.

SIU hit three of 15 three-pointers in the game.

The two teams had five fouls each with 14:52 remaining in the game.

SIU grabbed two offensive rebounds on the same possession, but were unable to score. SIUE’s Carr nailed a three-pointer on the Cougar’s next possession.

The Salukis were in the bonus with 12:58 left to play. The Cougars were in the bonus with 12:19 left after a foul by Rodriguez at half court.

SIUE junior forward Devin Thornton hit a

three-pointer with 11 left in the half to give the Cougars a nine point lead at 55-46.

Freshman forward Austin Wieher was able to get to the line twice in short succession and shot two of four from the stripe.

SIU went into the double bonus with 9:32 remaining in the half. SIUE joined them with 9:29 left in the half after a charge by junior forward Sean O’Brien.

He played with four fouls for the last 9:30 of the game. O’Brien led the Salukis with 38 minutes played.

“It’s one of the harder losses since I’ve been here,” he said. “We just didn’t deserve to win the game. We had a run at the end, but they out played us.”

SIUE’s Thornton and Carr kept the Salukis at bay by combining for six of the Cougars seven baskets between the 13 and six minute mark, including four three-point baskets. They led 66-54 with six minutes to play.

Rodriguez hit the Salukis’ first three-pointer of the half with 4:14 remaining in the game.

Beane hit one of his own and SIU trailed 71-68 with 2:45 remaining.

He followed the next possession with a fingerroll layup. SIUE called a timeout directly after with their lead now at one point.

Rodriguez broke away with 1:30 remaining — he was fouled on a lay-up attempt, but missed both free-throws.

The Salukis trailed 74-70 after a three-pointer

by SIUE’s junior Burak Eslik with 58 seconds remaining.

Freshman guard Armon Fletcher threw down a dunk, then stole the SIUE in-bound attempt and converted the ensuing layup to tie the game at 74 with 35 seconds to play.

SIU plays North Texas at 7 p.m. Saturday in SIU Arena.

SIU offense runs through true point guard High-octane defense generating turnovers for men’s basketball EVAN JONES | @EvanJones_DE

SIU men’s basketball coach Barry Hinson has put an emphasis on unselfish basketball this season.

The Salukis have the highest scoring offense in the Missouri Valley Conference in ten games averaging 80.2 points per game.

Hinson brought in six new faces, including junior guard Mike Rodriguez, after five players transferred last season.

Rodriguez has started in all ten games for the Salukis and leads the team in assists with 40.

“Seeing the banners with all the things [SIU] did in the [NCAA] tournament, you know that’s a dream for me,” Rodriguez said.

The Salukis finished last season with 274 total assists and 423 turnovers, making a .6 assist to turnover average.

Through ten games this season the Salukis have 130 assists and 139 turnovers, making their assist to turnover ratio just less than one.

Hinson said Rodriguez has a knack for stealing the basketball. Rodriguez leads the team with 14 steals.

Rodriguez is the only starter with fewer turnovers — 11 this season — than steals.

Rodriguez transferred to SIU from Marshalltown Community College in Iowa. He started in all 32 games during his sophomore season at Marshalltown and averaged 22.5 points per game, which ranked No. 8 in the country for NJCAA Division I. He also shot 43.8 percent

one has thrown him the ball before — [Rodriguez] is hitting him in the face.”

Junior guard Leo Vincent has come off the bench to run the Saluki offense as point guard along with Rodriguez and Beane.

“When you come into the game with a guard like [Beane] who knows how to put the ball in the basket, I just try to come in and stay aggressive,” Vincent said. “I look to come into the game and play my role.”

Vincent has played in all ten games coming off the bench. He is shooting 50 percent from the field and has nine assists this season.

Opposing teams may refer to SIU men’s basketball as the Grinch that stole the ball this season.

The Dawgs have created 171 turnovers — the most in the Missouri Valley Conference. It also ranks 27th of 351 teams in the country.

Junior guard Mike Rodriguez said the team has improved its transition defense and communication, which has helped create turnovers.

The Salukis have a plus-3.2 turnover margin, ranking second in the MVC and 42nd nationally.

SIU has forced 12 or more turnovers in every game this season, including three games with more than 20.

Opposing teams turn the ball over on 22.8 percent of their possessions against SIU, putting the Salukis at 29th in the country.

Coach Barry Hinson said many turnovers happen because of “ball hawks.”

“I think we have two guys on the team in Mike Rodriguez and [senior guard] Anthony Beane who have a real knack for stealing the ball,” he said.

Rodriguez leads the team with 14 steals while Beane is second with 11.

Beane is 12th all-time at SIU with 120 steals. Rodriguez had 133 total steals in two years at Marshalltown Community College.

Junior guard Leo Vincent said intense practices drives the Salukis defense.

“We got guys diving on the floor, taking charges,” he said.

“We got guys willing to lay their body on the line.”

from the field.

Hinson said usually there is an adjustment period at the beginning of a player’s first season.

Jalen Pendelton is the only guard who transferred last year that had more assists in the entire season than Rodriguez does now. Pendleton finished the season with 51 assists, second only to junior forward Sean O’Brien.

Hinson said the team had to take time to get used to playing with a true point guard.

“We share the ball. Everybody has figured out what everybody can do,” he said. “The first three or four games [Rodriguez] was hitting guys in the face.

Bola was coming down the lane and no
