UK, city to sign Rupp lease
REELING FROM THE LOSS
UK will sign a new long-term lease with the city of Lexington that allows UK basketballl to continue to play games at Rupp Arena. UK spokesman Jay Blanton saidWednesday that the university, “as primary tenants” of the building, approve of the new design of Rupp Arena. Designs for the $310 million renovations to Rupp Arena were released in February, despite there not being finalized funding plans. UK’s plans for financing the renovations now include the long-term lease, and “new project revenues generated solely from premium seating and other revenue opportunities created by the new Rupp Arena,” Blanton said. The proposed plans do not include funding from the university, Blanton said. “No university funds support Rupp today and none will be used to support this new project,” Blanton said. No terms on the new lease were disclosed, nor was an official date of lease agreement. The current lease runs out in 2017, Blanton said. “(The renovations) will redefine Rupp Arena for the next 30 years, and it is a key initiative as we focus on improving the fan experience,” Blanton said. “We continue to work on our financing plan to help support this initiative.”

Team’s woes, ailing hip force Calipari to adjust sideline intensity level Coach takes blame for recent struggles By Nick Gray ngray@kykernel.com
Head coach John Calipari is changing his tune in a big way. Calipari was ejected during Saturday’s game against the University of South Carolina as a result of his second technical foul, which was issued for arguing with officials. He adjusted his coaching style on Tuesday, acting noticeably calmer in UK’s game against the University of Ala-
bama. Calipari did not jump around and out of the coach’s box, as has been his custom this season. And he announced Tuesday that he now has even more reason to be less active around the bench. Calipari complained publicly about hip problems earlier in the season, and said after Tuesday’s game that he will need a hip replacement sometime in the future. He also said that he took painkillers for four
days before quitting his dosage early this week. Senior guard Jarrod Polson did not know about the ailment, but is not surprised that Calipari has coached through the pain. “He’s a tough guy. He doesn’t like to show pain at all,” Polson said. Calipari was as vocal with the officials as he was with his players on Saturday against South Carolina. UK struggled to top 20 percent from the field while their head coach was on the floor. He did not speak to the media after the game. But on Mon-
day, he took the blame for his team’s lack of success. “If we lose — I’ve said this

Next Game Who: UK at No. 1 University of Florida When: Noon, Saturday Where: Gainesville, Fla. Televised: CBS
UK baseball dominated all facets of the game on Wednesday in its doubleheader sweep of the University of Cincinnati. The pair of victories extended UK’s winning streak to nine games. No. 22 UK (11-2) held Cincinnati to four runs through both games while scoring 18, continuing a blistering streak that has seen the team score 124 runs this season. UK sophomore left-handed pitcher Dylan Dwyer (1-0) held Cincinnati to just three hits in the first game, which UK won 7-0. Dwyer had a career high with eight strikeouts in nine innings of work. The game was also Dwyer’s first career complete game. “I was just attacking,” Dwyer said. “I was trying to get them to put the ball in play.” He settled down after two innings. “I just found more rhythm as the game went on,” Dwyer said. “I was loose, aggressive, confident and I trusted myself.” UK’s bats backed up Dwyer early, scoring a run in the second inning off a wild pitch and two more runs in the third.

Hoops improves in time for SEC Tournament Coach Mitchell says team is ‘playing with no fear’ By Tyler Spanyer tspanyer@kykernel.com
UK Hoops is returning to its form of early, when it pulled off 11 consecutive wins to open the season. The Cats have won five of their last six games, and clinched the No. 4 seed in this

weekend’s SEC Tournament in Duluth, Ga. “This stretch shows a lot about our players and the character of this group,” said UK head coach Matthew Mitchell. “We have made the necessary changes to make ourselves better.” The Cats have averaged 78.3 points per game in their last six games, which is well above their average of 65.8 points per game during their mid-season slide. “I think the issue was our attitude,” Mitchell said. “We were playing not to lose. In close games players were waiting for someone else to make a play, whereas now we are playing with no fear.” Part of the rebirth of this
team has been the resurgence of senior forward DeNesha Stallworth. Coming into the season, Stallworth was the goto player, but after knee surgery kept her out of five games, she struggled to return to form until recently. “I think I’m back,” Stallworth said. “I know how important I am to our team’s success, and I have been trying to get back out there just to help them.” In the last six games, Stallworth has scored in double figures five times, notching a double-double in three of those games. She has averaged 14.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. “The thing that’s been tough on me emotionally is

that you want the players to succeed,” Mitchell said. “To go from such a great start and thinking about a number one seed to sliding through the middle of the schedule is tough.” The Cats are also improving defensively, thanks to some defensive philosophy changes Mitchell made midway through the season. Although UK has allowed an average of 73.5 points per game in the last six games, it is caused in part by the new rule changes regarding fouls. “I think to start, it was my fault,” Mitchell said. “The new rules allowed for the offense to touch the defense but not the other way around, and that hurt us. We had to make some changes, including going to zone at times, and that’s on me.”

Construction to limit attendance at Spring Game press release Wednesday. Capacity for the event, scheduled for April 26 at 3:30 p.m., will be approximately 42,500, according to the release. The south lower and
south upper level sidelines will not be available to fans due to renovations. The Spring Game attendance last season totaled 50,831 in head coach Mark
Stoops’ first public team activity at Commonwealth Stadium. Last year, Commonwealth Stadium’s capacity was 67,606, though the renovations will shrink that number. All tickets will be free, though a service fee may be
of discounted DVDs. Estebo, who has been a Premiere customer for more than a decade, said she’s against the decision to close, and hates the idea of renting movies online and not being able to hold a hard copy. “It’s like a book. There’s something to be said about holding an old DVD case in your hands.” With the emergence of Netflix and Redbox, video stores are becoming an afterthought. “(Redbox) isn’t any different than a coke machine; you’re going to get what you get and the service is going to be what you’d expect from a machine,” Robbins said. Netflix occasionally re-
tires movies — like “Top Gun” — and then they are hard to find in any form, said Ray Preston, a Premiere customer since the late 1990s. “I prefer to have a collection. I like to have a library, something I can keep.” Preston said he’s been coming to Premiere Home Video every day for about three weeks to buy films for his collection. “I’ve bought well over 100,” he said. Robbins now helps out in her husband’s store, the Premiere Home Video in the Hartland Shopping Center, which is the last remaining movie store in Lexington. “We vowed that we would be the last video store standing in this town, and
now we are,” Robbins said. “We hope that we can keep it going as long as possible.” While students can rent movies from the W.T. Young Library, Robbins said that the Hartland store has been gaining a new clientele of students in need of movies for school. They plan to start accepting Plus Account by the start of the fall semester. Despite the Netflix craze, many people still prefer the personal touch of renting from a store. “People want to talk to others about their favorite movies, or want suggestions of what movie to watch,” Robbins said. “You just can’t get that online or with Netflix.”
bleheader with three hits, two RBI, a double and a home run. The offensive outpour continued for UK in the second game. The Cats jumped to a 9-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning on the way to their 11-4 victory. In the inning, junior first baseman A.J. Reed stretched his hitting streak to 14 games when he belted a two-run RBI single up the middle. Sophomore right fielder Kyle Barrett also added to his hit streak of 14 games with three hits. The Bearcats mounted a rally in the top of the fourth in-
ning, scoring two runs off of UK junior starting pitcher Andrew Nelson. Wilson allowed four hits and two runs in four innings. The Bearcats scored one run in both the fifth and sixth innings. But the Cats added two more in the bottom of the sixth inning off an RBI single by junior outfielder Austin Cousino, and a sacrifice fly RBI by sophomore outfielder Ka’ai Tom. The Cats return to the diamond for a series against Ball State University at 4 p.m. on Friday at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
“I have no excuse. I’m just a negative guy,” Calipari said before laughing and relaxing in his chair. The subject has led some national analysts, including ESPN’s Michael Wilbon and Fox Sports’ Dan Patrick, to speculate that Calipari would leave UK after this season. “When I went in the office, my secretary asked me, ‘Are you not coming back next year?’ She said it was on (ESPN’s) “Around the
Horn,” it was on (ESPN’s) “First Take” and they’re doing a “30 for 30” movie on it,” Calipari said. “Then (radio host) Dan Patrick talked about it. (ESPN college basketball reporter) Andy Katz already has my replacement. Because I didn’t do a postgame interview?” Tuesday, Calipari did do his post-game interview. And he relaxed, acting as candid in front of the public as he has been all season.

Tim McGurk, a spokesman for Cincinnatibased Kroger’s mid-South division, said that Kroger is still in talks with Jefferson to take over the lease of the store. Two customers scoured the nearly-empty shelves of Premiere Home Video on Wednesday, picking up as many clearance DVDs as they could carry. “I wish I could have come earlier so I could have gotten the good movies,” said psychology sophomore Mellisa Estebo, holding an armful

Like a candidate’s food choice, voters can’t go wrong MATT OVERING
Kernel columnist
We have four excellent candidates vying for the top two positions in student government. On Feb. 26, the Kernel published profiles of each candidate. Favorite food choices were included in the profile, and from the food choices, there is much we can deduce. The four foods: Enchiladas, filet mignon, doughnuts and Thai food. Jake Ingram, current student government vice president, said “his mother’s homemade enchiladas” were his favorite food. This is the clear-cut best answer out of the four for one simple reason: Who doesn’t love their momma’s cooking? A mother’s cooking is a safe answer. No one can fault Ingram for going with something that his mother makes.
In my biased opinion, my mother makes the best food in the world. I’m sure many of you feel the same way. Ingram’s running mate, Mariel Jackson, said that her favorite food is filet mignon. Talk about a step in the other direction. Jackson’s food choice is one that separates her from the norm. This cut of beef isn’t your average steak – rather, it is well above average. Jackson may alienate some with this decision, but if you have had a filet mignon, you can’t blame her choice. Presidential candidate Micaha Dean, current president of the Student Activities Board, went with the simple choice of doughnuts. This answer is neither bold nor safe. It is clearly an appeal to the masses, because c’mon, who doesn’t like doughnuts? To that point, however, if you’ve ever had doughnuts, my guess is that you aren’t head over heels, saying they will be your favorite food for life. Everyone likes doughnuts because there are all kinds. They are a guilty
pleasure to anyone that enjoys sweets. Dean is saying she loves doughnuts and doesn’t care who knows. Evan Pulliam shares the ticket with Dean. He selected “Thai food, or anything with sriracha,” as his favorite food. Pulliam likes all Thai food? If we’re going for breadth of selection, Pulliam wins. His pick is exotic and shows his openness to diversity. It’s different. As someone that rarely eats Thai food, I’d love to sit down with Pulliam and enjoy the aromas and flavor that this Southeast Asian cuisine is known for. We have four candidates that have made exquisite food choices. None are wrong. Your selection on who will represent you in student government is the same. You can’t go wrong with either ticket.

Remain politically engaged when election season ends ROSHAN PALLI
Contributing
columnist
After the Student Government debate on Tuesday, I read through hundreds of tweets, Facebook posts and other comments on various social media platforms. I was impressed and excited by the enthusiasm shown by our students as they weighed in on the issues and participated in the discussion. But do not let that passion end with the conclusion of the election. No matter who is announced Thursday, it is important for our entire student body to continue to weigh in on the issues that face our university.
It is our duty as responsible voters to push and question our elected representatives. You should never doubt the availability of your senators or president. Student Government does our utmost to represent the interests of our students. But with input and respectful dialogue, we can do that job all the better. Respectful and transparent dialogue between the students and their representatives is essential to the functioning of Student Government. As one of your senators so eloquently stated, “it is our job to push them to do better and do more.” Your senators have pushed me this year to effectively explain my actions and decisions. In the same way, the student body must also weigh in, question and
push our Student Government. Although my term as student body president ends this semester, the issues that face our campus will continue to be important to me. I plan to be an active member of our community and I hope you will continue to do the same. Actively read the Kernel. Sit down and talk with your representatives. Discuss the relevant issues with your peers. There is so much we can do to shape the course of this university, but it is up to us to actually reach out and do it. Roshan Palli is the student government president. His column appears weekly in the Kernel. Email opinions@ kykernel.com.
