Cats to face Gamecocks SPORTS

UK guard Andrew Harrison goes for a dunk during the game against the Providence Friars at Rupp Arena Nov. 30, 2014.
KEVIN ERPENBECK kerpenbeck@kykernel.com The last time UK and South Carolina played, the Cats were in the middle of a lateseason slump, head coach John Calipari got ejected and the team lost 72-67. That was in 2014; the same season UK became runner-up NCAA Champions after thenfreshman guard Aaron Harrison ensured that the
team would make a run and create a “great story” post-South Carolina. Regardless, the memories of that game and the lessons the Cats have learned since still linger in their minds. “That game was in March,” Calipari recalled. “We didn’t bow our necks until I got tossed. I look back on last year and I’m amazed that we were able to pull it together.” When it comes to how the Cats were able to bounce back from a difficult loss and sweep
through five NCAA Tournament games, Calipari credits it to the “special group” that played last year. “We stunk. Like, stunk. And then by two weeks later we’re playing out of our minds?” Calipari said. “That means you have a good group that was just not sure of themselves (at the time). And (this year’s) kids are so different.” The 2015 Cats remain undefeated this season after facing a tough test against Vanderbilt on Tuesday. Despite being hot from beyond the arc for most of the game, the Commodores couldn’t find a way to knock off UK. Freshman guard Tyler Ulis said Tuesday’s game was a perfect teaching tool, even for an unbeaten team. “We just learned that we have to fight all the time,” Ulis said. “They came ready to play. We just have to be able to stick with the game plan.” Sophomore guard Andrew Harrison said that same logic can be applied to Saturday’s game in Columbia, S.C., considering what happened to the team the last time it was there. “We have to come and play 100 percent or it’s going to be a long game,” he said. “If we go down there and play like we did last year, we’ll lose again.” What Calipari is expecting from this year’s game, though, is the same, tough mentality from the Gamecocks, but a more self-aware mindset from an experienced UK team. “The thing that they’ve benefitted most of (from last year) is that you don’t have to play well because we have enough guys,” Calipari said. “There’s no ‘If I don’t play well, we’re going to lose this game.’ No, if five or six of you play well, we will figure out who they are and we will run with them.”
UK track to host Rod McCravy Memorial LESLIE HOBBS sports@kykernel.com
UK track will be back in Nutter Field House this weekend as it hosts its second meet of the 2015 season. The Rod McCravy Memorial meet will have events beginning on Friday and Saturday at 10 a.m. and will end with the last event at 4:25 p.m. Saturday. However, one Cat who will not join the team to compete is senior sprinter Dezerea Bryant. After her world-leading and school record-breaking 23.12 time performance in the 200m dash last weekend at the Kentucky Invitational, head coach Edrick Floreal said that Bryant will likely not compete this weekend after experiencing some cramping during the week. Bryant also set the fifth-fastest collegiate time in the 60m dash last weekend with a 7.18 finish, just .06 seconds off her previous best that she set last year in her debut as a UK sprinter. After starting the season off on a high note, Floreal expanded on the team’s ultimate goal this season. “The meet last weekend showed us we’re SEE TRACK PAGE 6
Hoops looks to escape slump KEVIN ERPENBECK kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
The UK Hoops team will look to rebound from its most recent loss to LSU when it travels to face Missouri on Sunday. No. 14 UK has not played a game since the upset by LSU last Sunday. The 84-79 loss was the Cats’ second defeat in their last three games. The road match against Missouri will be UK’s
second straight game away from Memorial Coliseum. Missouri is coming off a 73-50 loss against Arkansas last Sunday. It marks the Tigers’ sixth loss in their last seven games. Ever since the loss of junior point guard Janee Thompson, the Cats have been searching for a guard on the roster to move over to the point position. Head coach Matthew Mitchell said he would like to see sophomore guard
Makayla Epps rise to the occasion because he believes “she has the potential to become one of the best point guards in the country.” After UK’s win against Florida, Epps said that she’s prepared to become the starting point guard her team needs. “I just want to play like Janee,” Epps said. “She might be the smallest player on our team, but she has some of the biggest shoes to fill.”

Patriots shouldn’t be punished SPORTS
Not uncommon for teams to tamper with footballs
PHOTO BY BRAD HORRIGAN | HARTFORD CURRENT (TNS)
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady speaks to media at Gillette Stadium on Thursday.
4 | Timeout | 1.23.15
Controversy swirled around the New England Patriots’ 45-7 drubbing of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday when some Colts complained about a number of footballs being underinflated. To the casual fan, an unKYLE derinflated ball doesn’t raise ARENSDORF too many red flags. Many Kernel Columnist probably don’t even know that there are two different kinds of balls: one for the offense and a kicking ball for special teams. To that fan, the ball is merely a tool used within competition and holds little to no significance. But nothing is left up to interpretation in the eyes of the NFL. Two hours and 15 minutes before each game, both teams’ offenses supply 12 balls each to be examined by the head official.
If he deems them acceptable (12.5-13.5 pounds of pressure inside each ball), then all 24 footballs are approved and kept under a watchful eye until the start of the game. How the balls were tampered with after that, or if they were even tampered with in the first place, remains a mystery. But regardless of how the oversight happened, the NFL revealed on Tuesday that the balls were, in fact, underinflated. Since then, pundits and fans have called for a list of punishments for the champions of the AFC, from the loss of a draft pick to disbarrment from the Super Bowl. Fans can speculate all they want. But the reality is that every team tampers with their offense’s footballs. The process to make a football game-ready sometimes lasts two to three hours, from scrubbing them down for 45 minutes to get the wax and finish off of them to putting them on an
electric spin wheel to make the balls even rougher. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has said in the past that he prefers his footballs overinflated because he thinks they’re too slippery otherwise. The under-inflation of a few balls is a nonissue. However, this is the New England Patriots we’re talking about, the same franchise that was caught filming other coaches’ signals before games in 2007. As a result, every rule they bend will be heavily scrutinized. The Patriots were stripped of a first-round pick in the 2008 draft as a result of that infraction. The same punishment for deflating some balls, however, is pure folly. And to suggest that the Colts should replace them in the Super Bowl is laughable. They won 45-7. Come on people.

UK guard Linnae Harper drives during the second half of the game against Louisville in Louisville Dec. 7, 2014.
Since then, Epps has become the secondleading scorer on the team, averaging 13 points a game. She also leads the team in assists, a category once led by Thompson, with 59. But it’s Epps’ fellow sophomore guard who may have improved the most as of late. Linnae Harper has started in every game since Dec. 21 and now leads the team in rebounds with 137, which is 18 more than second-place senior forward Azia Bishop. However, it’s Harper’s defense that has truly impressed her head coach. Mitchell said the 5foot-8 guard has come a long way since her freshman year and continues to surprise him this year. “She is on a torrid steal pace,” said Mitchell after the Florida game. Harper leads the team in takeaways with 42. “Last year, she did not get on the floor because she couldn’t defend. Now she’s getting steal after steal and I’m proud of her.” No matter which player steps up, though, what Mitchell is looking for during UK’s recent slump is very simple. “We’ll really try to seek constant improvement,” said Mitchell after the LSU loss. “I don’t know if we’re unclear on us needing to improve.”

Global Health competition hits campus
Smoking in India focus of case
The first Global Health Case Competition will ask students to propose tobacco control strategies for the state of Gujarat, India. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, nine student teams will work on strategies to “address a critical global health challenge scenario” in the UK College of Pharmacy Building, according to the event’s press release. The teams will be asked by UK’s Global Health Initiative to reduce the health detriments caused by the use of tobacco products, as well as the monetary and sociological burdens attached. They will also identify the costs and tradeoffs of different scenarios. According to the UK International Center web page, the prompt given to the teams was chosen because of the high use of tobacco in Kentucky. Tobacco’s status as the leading cause of preventable illness and death also played into the decision, according to the web page. According to the Center for Disease Control, more than 16 million Americans have diseases caused by smoking, like cancer, heart disease or emphysema. The CDC estimated that smoking is responsible for about 480,000 deaths in America every year, including about 41,000 caused by secondhand smoke exposure. After a 15-minute presentation to a panel of judges, each team will answer the judges’ resultant questions and defend their strategy for 10 more minutes. One team will move on to the 2015 International Emory Global Health Case Competition on March 28, according to the press release. The event will be held at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga. The first-place team from the 24 competing schools will win a $6,000 prize. There will be a reception at the College of Pharmacy at 4 p.m. after the competition. STAFF REPORT

Provost nominees chosen NEWS
University finds 9 potential replacements for Riordan
The provost search committee cochairs announced to the university at large that nine candidates to fill the position vacated by Christine Riordan have expressed interest in the job. Dean of the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment Nancy Cox and Vice President for Student Affairs Robert Mock wrote in a campus-wide email on Thursday that 30 nominations were received by Monday, Jan. 5. According to a previous email from the provost search committee, interested nominees were contacted and asked to provide a resume by that Friday. “Nine nominees provided the commit-
tee with written expressions of interest, letters that briefly outlined their qualifications and experience for this critical position,” Mock and Cox wrote in the email. UK spokesperson Jay Blanton said the names of those candidates will not be released at present. He confirmed that the nominations received were from within the university. The committee and university president Eli Capilouto will interview the candidates in the next 10 days and hopes to guide a candidate or candidates around campus during the first week of February, the email read. The candidates will be announced
College creates fracking degree LIZZIE JOHNSON Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO — A southwestern Illinois community college has received the goahead to create a petroleum drilling technology, or fracking, program. Lincoln Trail College in Robinson, Ill., will enroll its first students this fall. The college petitioned the state for the degree and received approval this month. “We are very rich in oil in this part of the state,” Lincoln Trail College President Kathryn Harris said last week. “The degree will focus on new ways and technologies to extract oil. We want to be ready when the oil boom comes to southern Illinois.” Fracking will be an emphasis in the two-year associate degree program. The process involves using technology to drill into shale rock and retrieve oil or gas using a high-pressure mixture of water and chemicals. The current drop in oil prices has led to layoffs in some regions of the country, and
Harris said low prices could affect the job market. “I prefer we be dependent on our own oil over foreign oil,” she said. “It's hard to make money when the price has dropped.” Despite the plunge in prices, the extraction field is expected to grow domestically, according to the Illinois Department of Employment Security. It predicts a 23.2 percent increase for oil and gas roustabouts, or oil rig personnel, a 23.6 percent increase for drill operators and a 24.1 percent increase for derrick operators through 2022. Dr. Bill Eustes, an associate professor at the Colorado School of Mines, said Tuesday that job growth is likely to increase as older professionals retire. Eustes teaches subjects related to petroleum engineering. “When you look at the 1980s, when the market collapsed, a lot of people were laid off and not many companies were hiring,” Eustes said. “That left a gap between us older folks and younger people. We call it the big crew change. A lot of us are retiring. Who is going to take our place?”
then, Blanton said. According to the search committee’s email, they will meet with staff and students on campus and take part in an open forum. “We have been both heartened and impressed by the quality of the nominees and candidates, their commitment to this place and their strong sense that this is a critical moment for our institution,” Mock and Cox wrote in the email. “We look forward to bringing this process to a successful conclusion and using the dialogue with and among campus leaders to have a positive discussion about the future.” STAFF REPORT

on the right track and what direction we’re heading,” Floreal said. “We will try and move ourselves up on the NCAA rankings as a team and try to be one of the top three team finishes.” Floreal added that in order for the team to move forward, each athlete must be on the same page in preparing for and competing in an event. “The success for any team is based on how much they come together and how much energy they have in practice and competitions,” Floreal said. Floreal said the biggest obstacle this season is having good leadership. ”(We) need people who are going to hold each other accountable, Floreal said. “Once the team does that, it will be a lot easier to move forward.” But with any exceptionally talented team comes tough competition, Floreal said. However, Floreal added that practice is not a good indicator of how well this team is progressing. “Even though you can see improvement in practice, you need to see it on the weekends against competition,” he said. The Rod McCravy Memorial will be the last chance to see the Cats in action at home until the SEC Indoor Championships on Feb. 27-28.
