Cats mired in recent shooting slump SPORTS
UK has shot 16 percent from 3-point arc in last 4 games KYLE ARENSDORF karensdorf@kykernel.com
The game between UK basketball and North Carolina three seasons ago has gone down in UK lore. Anthony Davis blocked the shot of UNC’s John Henson to stay undefeated on the season and from that moment, the Cats rode the momentum to a National Championship. The No. 21 Tar Heels (6-2) come to Lexington on Saturday, primed to take the series lead from UK for the first time in the Calipari era. UNC will be the Cats’ 11th opponent this season, a position that was favorable for them a season ago. Playing in front of their home crowd, the Tar Heels downed the Cats 82-77. But this is a drasticaly different UK team. The Cats enter Saturday undefeated after victories against two Top-10 opponents with both wins by an average of 22 points.
Despite the unblemished record, UK has looked sloppy in its last four games and has been extremely cold from 3-point range. In those matchups, the Cats are just 8for-49 from beyond the 3-point arc, a miniscule 16 percent. “The crazy thing is, we have good shooters,” UK head coach John Calipari said after UK’s 56-46 victory over Colum-

Big stretch begins
The odds of escaping a difficult non-conference schedule unbeaten get tougher for UK basketball as a three-game stretch against some of the nation’s best talent approaches. If UK escapes this twoNICK GRAY week stretch unscathed, then Kernel Columnist given the strength of the SEC, the possibility of UK ending the season undefeated remains a realistic scenario. The three-game non-conference stretch consists of three programs that have a total of 19 combined national championships. The fun begins on Saturday when North Carolina heads up to Rupp Arena in a rematch of last season’s game in Chapel Hill, a 82-77 UNC victory. No. 21 UNC (6-2) has had a more challenging schedule compared to UK at this point, with losses to two potential NCAA Tournament teams in Butler and Iowa, but
have also collected wins in the Bahamas against UCLA and Florida. The Tar Heels, much like the Cats, have struggled shooting from outside. They have shot a disappointing 29.8 percent from behind the arc with the majority of the shots coming from junior point guard Marcus Paige. Paige is typically a more efficient passer and finisher in the paint, but of his 93 shots, 53 have come from the three-point line. The Tar Heels will also struggle to compete with UK’s size in the paint. Sophomore forward Kennedy Meeks, a 6-foot-9, 270pound beast, averages more than 10 rebounds a game but is UNC’s only paint player who can physically play with the seven footers of UK. Surrounding Meeks is a supporting cast that includes 6-foot-9-inch junior forward Brice Johnson. Johnson is second on the team in rebounding but his size is an issue. He is a thin 228 pounds and doesn’t have the

tice facility, maybe we should go to the blue courts outside and try it out there in wind,” added Calipari. One of the culprits of the slump is freshman guard Devin Booker, who, along with freshman guard Tyler Ulis, did not play against Columbia Wednesday. After the game, Calipari said he didn’t know the health situation of the two players, who were held out Wednesday due to “minor injuries,” but said if they did not practice Thursday they would not play Saturday. In UNC’s last five games, the Tar Heels have knocked off two ranked opponents (No. 22 UCLA and No. 18 Florida), but have been defeated by two unranked teams as well (Butler and Iowa). The Tar Heels are led by junior guard Marcus Paige, who leads the team in scoring and has made more threes (18) than the rest of his team combined (17). UNC is just the first in a huge threegame string for the Cats, as they take on previously ranked UCLA in Chicago on Dec. 20, then No. 4 Louisville on Dec. 27.

Offense struggles on road
JOSHUA HUFF Kernel Columnist
If you had to encapsulate UK’s season in one sentence, the age-old adage “home is where the heart is” fits perfectly as a summation of how the year played out for the Cats. UK won five games at Commonwealth Stadium and outscored its opponents
251-184 while the struggles away from Lexington were frustrating to behold. The Cats’ were terrible on the road, losing all five games by an average of 92 points. The inefficiency away from home screamed particularly true with UKs’ offense. Overall, the Cats’ offense ranked near the bottom of the SEC, just ahead of teams with bad offenses like Vanderbilt and Florida. But considering where UK was last season with that two-quarterback system, this season was a success despite its record and statistical rankings. Patrick Towles, at times, was a decent quarterback. His ability to throw the deep ball opened doors for an offense that struggled to consistently run the ball. He ended the season as the fifth-best quarterback statistically in the SEC in terms of yards. His 14-9 touchdown to interception SEE OFFENSE PAGE 4 12.12.14 | Timeout | 3
Brunch back again NEWS
Students can get food and massages HALEY WRIGHT news@kykernel.com
The Student Activities Board’s semester-ending Crunch Brunch will attempt to relieve the stress of finals week preparation with games, music and massages on Monday night. The relaxation-centered event will begin at 9 p.m. in Memorial Coliseum and continue until midnight, according to SAB’s website. Students will receive breakfast foods and long-sleeved t-shirts to begin, as well as access to massage and yoga sessions. According to the website, there will be inflatables for students to play on, as well as games and music. Crunch Brunch is an annual event. SAB has handed out t-shirts advertising “Crunch Brunch 2014” in the W. T. Young library leading up to the event.
Pauline Minas, an integrated strategic communications junior, said she plans to attend Crunch Brunch for a second time this year. “I found out about SAB Crunch Brunch because people were wearing these white long-sleeved shirts last year,” Minas said. “A couple of my friends and I took a break and walked over to Memorial Coliseum to check it out. I ate the food and got a massage.” SAB will provide buses from “the 90,” the corner of Rose St. and Columbia and the corner of Rose St. and Hugulet. The buses will drop students off at the Wildcat Alumni Plaza across the street from Memorial Coliseum. “It ended up being more fun than I thought it would be,” Minas said. “I think it was a good idea to have Crunch Brunch for the students ... It’s the perfect study break to have.”

the next step next season, Towles, if he retains his starting position, should be plenty excited. Returning will be receiver Ryan Timmons, who showed how good he can be if he puts his full effort into every game, and players with size and speed like freshmen Black Bone, Garrett Johnson and Dorian Baker. However this season the growing pains were on display as the inexperience and inconsistency showed. Some of their poor play is a consequence of poor play calling. Too many times, the Cats abandoned playing north-to-south for an east -to-west attack that failed more often than not to garner any positive yards. With the questionable play calling and terrible performances on the road, UK struggled to step out of the quagmire that is the SEC. Another season has come and gone with as many negatives as there are positives on the season-ending checklist, but the potential remains high. So with that, the offense this season earns a generous C+ because it’s hard to ignore the roses that are budding from this season, regardless of the poor play at times.

cupcakes at home. For UK to escape this difficult slate and enter the New Year undefeated, the Cats will need to find an offensive rhythm and a solution to its first half struggles. The three teams all present different problems for a UK team that has yet to play back-toback games against national prominent teams. If UK somehow survives December unblemished, then let the talk about ending the season undefeated begin, because the road will only get smoother before the bump that is March arrives.
ratio needs to be improved and his completion percentage of 57 percent doesn’t scare anybody. In terms of expectations, it’s safe to say he exceeded those. The biggest issue this season and heading into next is the play of the offensive line. For UK to improve in all areas this offseason, the line needs to find a way to improve. With the talent that UK has in the backfield, there should be no excuse for why none of those backs ran for over 1,000 yards. Despite the offensive line’s woes, the running backs did show potential. Stanley “Boom” Williams was the cream of the running backs. His play rose to the top while players like Jojo Kemp and Braylon Heard were rendered mute down the stretch as their touches became fewer. Next season will be promising as Williams will resume the starting job and fellow freshman Mikel Horton will more than likely see more touches in place of Kemp and Heard. Another area that showed UK’s future potential was the receiver position. With a core group of young players poised to take
strength to fight off the blocks. The second game of the three-game stretch includes a matchup against an underwhelming UCLA team in Chicago. The Bruins have not been able to regain their footing after they lost three underclassmen to the NBA last season. Because of that and a lack of talent to replace the departed, UCLA has lost two non-conference games already this season against Oklahoma and North Carolina. However, UCLA had four guys averaging 11.9 points per game or more and six players 6-foot-9 or taller. Of all the teams during the final non-conference stretch for UK, the Bruins will potentially have the size to bear the brunt of UK's physical defense. The first true road game of the season for the Cats will be on Dec. 27 against a tough Louisville team. The Cardinals have victories against Ohio State and Indiana, but have also pummeled their fair share of

Racist comments underscore protests NEWS
ANNE HALLIWELL ahalliwell@kykernel.com
The Wednesday night die-in protest in the W. T. Young library elicited racist comments from anonymous Yik Yak users. Three UK students, Kelly Moore, Tyesha Marshall and Rae'Esha Shabazz, organized the protests on Tuesday and Wednesday. The second die-in protest, which followed one at the Patterson Office Tower on Tuesday, began at 9 p.m. and lasted about 30 minutes. Students watching leaned over the library ledges to film and take pictures, posted racist commentary to the anonymous social media app and dropped small objects, mainly coins, said Moore, a comunications senior. Communications junior Miyana Sarver reached out to the Kernel about the comments on Yik Yak. “People have been (saying) ... ‘There’s mud on the floor,’” Sarver said. “(This is) extreme racism we’ve experienced.” Sarver said that administration has “turned a blind eye” to the protesters’ complaints. “They said we could proceed (if) we were
not violent,” Sarver said. “The only people who were acting violently were (the watchers).” She added that neither library employees nor the members of UKPD in attendance stepped in to stop the students from dropping coins. Moore said library employees ensured that students did not walk through the protesters as some did in the Patterson Office Tower protest. She added that “the only thing that was crazy was the honesty of the comments,” which showed the watchers’ “true colors” toward racial prejudice. University president Eli Capilouto sent out a campus-wide statement at about 6:30 p.m. Thursday that expressed pride in the event organizers and condemned the “narrow mindedness” of the social media responses. “It’s expected – and welcomed – that we will disagree as we participate in the spirited arena of ideas,” Capilouto wrote in the statement. “But hate-filled slurs hurled for no reason other than to demean another person have no place here.”
Shabazz, an elementary education senior, said she appreciated Capilouto’s acknowledgement of the issue but wished for more focus on the protests themselves. “We will continue to come together and make our voices heard because unfortunately, it’s 2014 but people are still experiencing inequality,” Shabazz said. Moore and Marshall, a kinesiology and health promotions senior, criticized the ambiguity of UK’s initial statement about the protest response. Previously, the UK Twitter account posted a short link to a statement that read, “our institution values expression of thought and welcomes free exchange of ideas ....(but) we abhor any remarks that denigrate our students.” “Just saying UK is diverse and that we welcome diversity is not enough,” said senior Monique Rhodes, who participated in the protest. “All you’re doing is reiterating, but what action is going to be taken?” Rhodes, a sociology and gender and women’s studies major, tweeted at UK’s account earlier in the day about reporting Yik Yak users to the university. The university re-
Defense shorted out late SPORTS
Statistics show that defensive guru Mark Stoops has taken his teams to the next level defensively by the close of his second season. However, with UK, he failed to do so. During his time at Arizona from 20042009, Stoops turned a defensive unit that was 109th in the nation in total defense to a highly-ranked squad by the end of his term. When Stoops was defensive coordinator at Florida State from 2010-2012, he took a
team that was ranked 108th in the NCAA in total defense and churned out one of the best in college football. The Seminoles were third-best in the nation in total defense by the end of the 2012 season. However, the Cats have been a different story. UK’s defense started the season allowing 907 rushing yards ANNIE DUNBAR and 1,149 passing yards in the first six games. Then Kernel Columnist they ended the season on a steady decline. In UK’s final six games, most in conference play, the Cats allowed 1,387 rushing yards and 1,440 passing yards. The defense gave up six rushing touchdowns in the first half of the season and 14 in the latter half. Also, opponents scored seven passing touchdowns in the first six games and notched 15 in the final six. Midway through the season, there was a noticeable decline in the Cats’ performance as they dug themselves in a hole they could not climb out of to become bowl eligible.
Looking ahead to next season, the question of whether or not Stoops and defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot can get the defense up to SEC standards is hard to answer. The Cats will lose two of their best players in defensive ends Bud Dupree and Za’Darius Smith and, at this point, do not have any experienced ends to replace them outside of sophomore Jason Hatcher. Dupree and Smith started in all 12 games. Dupree led the defensive line with 45 solo tackles and 29 assisted for a total of 74 tackles on the season. He also led the SEC in tackles among his fellow defensive lineman. Smith was close behind with 26 solo tackles and 35 assisted, tallying 61 tackles on the season. Hatcher saw action in 11 games and finished the season with 20 solo tackles, eight assisted for a total of 28 on the season. Throughout the 2014 season, the defensive line had a solid performance but the linebackers and secondary continuously struggled despite a strong start. Overall, the defense receives a C+.
sponded that specific individuals’ names or pictures could be reported to “Student Code” at the phone number for the Community of Concern. Sarver pointed out the difficulty of reporting individuals after spending the protest lying on the ground and looking up at the levels of the Young library. “Do we report a person and possibly get the wrong face?” she said. UK spokesman Jay Blanton wrote in an email that he was not aware of any complaints regarding specific individuals but that the university’s Student Affairs would review any that were entered within the context of the code of conduct. The repercussions of the social media response, Rhodes added, may linger, as the commenters on social media were hidden by the large crowd and anonymity of the app. “On campus today I felt anxious ... all of the people in this room could have been the ones on social media making comments,” Rhodes said. “You feel insecure and unsafe on your own campus and you’re not supposed to feel that way.”
Football adds Nebraska transfers
Nebraska redshirt freshmen tight end Greg Hart and linebacker Courtney Love will transfer to UK, Rivals' Justin Rowland reported first on Thursday. Hart and Love were originally recruited to the Cornhuskers by then-Nebraska assistant Vince Morrow before Morrow became the tight ends coach at UK. Both were a part of the Cornhuskers' 2013 recruiting class. The transfers come after Bo Pelini was fired as Nebraska head coach and replaced by then-Oregon State head coach Mike Riley. Hart, from Archbishop Alter High School in Dayton, Ohio, did not catch a pass in 2014. Love, from Cardinal Mooney High School in Youngstown, Ohio (the high school alma mater for coach Mark Stoops and Marrow), had six tackles in four games in 2014. UK offered both players out of high school, according to their Nebraska profiles. Both will have to sit out a season under NCAA rules. Each will have two years of eligibility remaining.

UK Hoops tries to find right mix SPORTS
KEVIN ERPENBECK kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
Despite an 8-1 record, UK Hoops has struggled to play consistent basketball, often trailing by nearly double digits against tough opponents. The most recent example was against Louisville on Sunday, when the Cats had to overcome a 16-point deficit on the road to defeat their in-state rival. Head coach Matthew Mitchell alluded to a lack of energy at the start of games by the players as a reason for the deficits. That is why Mitchell has made it a point of emphasis to find out who is ready to play with “a competitive fire” in the Cats’ three days of practice in preparation for Middle Tennessee State. “I don’t think this group is naturally competitive,” Mitchell said. “What I’ve tried to do is set that tone of desperation early in practice, because you’ve seen them come out swinging and lock in when things get desperate in games. You have to get them in a spot where it’s ultra-competitive (in practice) and see who’s ready to roll and who’s not.” The Cats will need to sustain a high level of energy against Middle Tennessee if they want to win their fifth-straight game.
The Blue Raiders have a history of playing the Cats tough, even upsetting them in 2011. Mitchell admitted that he’s even considering changing the lineup in order to evoke a sense of urgency in certain players early in games, saying that sometimes, sitting on the bench is the only way to get through to players. “I think we’re at a spot (in the season) that the starting lineup is very much up for grabs,” Mitchell said. “Every minute is open in a competitive situation in practice and if you’re not doing what you need to do it’s on you because we’ve been clear on what needs to happen.” One of the areas where UK has struggled to maintain focus in is at the free throw line. The Cats are shooting 63 percent from the charity stripe, a spot on the

court that Mitchell says requires the most focus. Senior center Azia Bishop has had the most difficulties from the line, going 623 this season and missing her last seven shots. UK’s ability to battle back from seemingly insurmountable deficits against opponents like Louisville has made Mitchell admire the team’s toughness. But he maintains that battling the deficits is not a sustainable means to winning challenging games, and that only consistency will help the Cats beat a team like Middle Tennessee State. “I want us to stop digging ourselves such a big hole. We can’t be the team we want to be by doing that,” Mitchell said.

Special teams suffers despite MacGinnis REPORT CARD
The biggest collapse of the 2014 season came from UK’s special teams, especially during the second half of the season. The special teams’ play was so disheartening that whenever it came time to kick off or punt the ball, The Big Blue Nation collectively held its breath until either the ball 6 | Timeout | 12.12.14
was out of bounds or the returner was safely on the ground. The Cats’ special teams started off the season playing well, allowing just 19.9 yards per kick return during the first six games and three punt returns for a total of three return yards. However, the veil that covered ANNIE DUNBAR the true identity of the speKernel Columnist cial teams was yanked away during a sobering performance against LSU. Against the Tigers, the special teams gave up a 49-yard opening kickoff which led to a touchdown, a 67-yard punt return for another touchdown and failed to cover a brilliantly-placed squib kick in what was the special teams’ worst game of the season.
In special teams coordinator Craig Naivar’s first season with the Cats, opponents amassed 878 yards against UK on kickoffs while UK had 845 yards, with standout running back Stanley Williams netting 511 of those yards. Opponents also notched 253 yards on punt returns compared to UK’s 185. The four touchdowns that UK allowed on special teams were the most in the SEC. Two of those came against Georgia, with the Cats’ inability to make tackles and set up a wall dooming UK’s chances of winning that game. That collapse increased the heat on Naivar, whose job was already on thin ice. However, all was not negative for the special teams. Junior punter Landon Foster and freshman placekicker Austin MacGinnis had phenomenal seasons. MacGinnis was named All-SEC Freshman
by leagues coaches and Foster punted for 2810 yards, averaging 42.6 yards per punt with his longest at 60 yards. MacGinnis was also awarded National Placekicker of the Week after his performance against Louisville. He was 4-for-4 on field goals against the Cardinals, two of which were 40 yards or more that helped keep UK in the game. MacGinnis made 21 field goals during his first season with the Cats, which set a program record. He also drilled a 54-yard field goal, which broke the record for the longest field goal in program history. When looking solely at the kickers, the Cats would receive an A for the season. However, the poor performance from the rest of the special teams was a major contributor to UK’s six-game skid to close the season. Therefore, the special teams overall receives a D.
