Epps crucial in Hoops win NEWS
KEVIN ERPENBECK kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
Call it insane, amazing, exciting or crazy. All four words were used to describe the final play of UK’s double-overtime game against Mississippi State on Thursday. After sophomore point guard Makayla Epps missed a jumper with five seconds left, a mad scramble for the ball occurred under the basket, with senior forward Jelleah Sidney coming up with the rebound. Sidney threw a dart of a pass to keep the play alive, and after ricocheting off a few more players, the ball bounced in front of Epps. She didn’t miss the second game-winner attempt, powering UK to the 92-90 victory. “Complete craziness. It was bouncing off faces, noses and ears,” Epps said of the final play. “Then I looked up and it was right there. I shot it and I was out. Soon as I let it go I was out.” Epps’ final basket gave her a game-high 42 points, just one shy of UK’s record of 43, which senior guard Jennifer O’Neill
recorded in a quadruple-overtime win over Baylor last year. While the final play was hard to narrow down to one word, head coach Matthew Mitchell didn’t have any difficulty summing up the play of his star point guard. “Incredible,” Mitchell said of Epps. “I’ve been telling you guys for a while that she was ready to go for 25 or 30 with not a lot of difficulty. She’s just so strong and it’s hard for people to keep her out of the lane. I’m glad she scored 42 and not 39. We needed those extra three points.” The Cats actually had double-digit leads over the Bulldogs multiple times in the game and were up by as many as 14 points in the first half. But Mississippi State refused to quit, something that head coach Vic Shaefer was proud of his team for. “I sat here two years ago after getting my butt handed to us by 55 or 58 (points). It’s hard to see today,” Schaefer said. “When (today’s) game could have gone the other way, our kids bowed our necks and fought. I’m just so proud of my kids and our program.”
Mississippi State freshman forward Victoria Vivians led her team with 39 points while picking up eight rebounds. Schaefer added that if wasn’t for Vivians’ first-half performance (18 points and five rebounds), the Bulldogs might have been completely out of the game. But Mitchell countered with a similar statement regarding the Cats’ star performer. “We didn’t look like we could win any other way tonight without (Epps),” Mitchell said. “A couple of our players were off and we weren’t real consistent at times. We needed her. Needed every (point).”
partnering with undergraduates in retention, recruiting and the relationships that can be fostered in many years of work together. Tracy, the dean of the College of Pharmacy and former interim provost in 2012, said that student success would depend on increased retention — five percent more students staying for their second year in five years. He also stated that UK must assure class availability for graduation requirements and make advising switches more “seamless.” Blackwell’s view of UK’s diversity efforts would start, he said, with a collaboration between the provost and the vice president for Institutional Diversity, Judy Jackson. He equated diversity and exposure to different cultures on campus with competitiveness. “At graduation, employers demand diversity,” Blackwell said. “They know that students who have had an experience on a diverse campus will be more successful in a global economy.” Tracy said that the committee currently
working on diversity in the spring strategic plan has done a good job of making it a priority in the future. He suggested that the school put more funds toward scholarships and recruiting minorities. Tracy declined to answer concretely whether UK was a “hospitable” place for female leaders, but admitted that the university “can do better.” Blackwell chose to focus on hiring more African-American faculty, then “creat(ing) a climate that is conducive to all people from all backgrounds wanting to be here.” Both provosts also addressed the need for better accommodations for students with disabilities. “Physical access is a challenge, I mean, look at some of our buildings,” Blackwell said. “Help me find the money and I’ll be happy to fix the problem.” Blackwell made undergraduate research a

The two candidates for the open position were asked to speak about student success, graduate education and research, and increasing inclusivity on campus. Blackwell and Tracy each spoke for an hour beginning at 3 p.m. in the M.I. King Library. Blackwell, the current dean of the Gatton College of Business and Economics, focused on the role of the university’s research efforts in his remarks. “If we’re going to be a thriving, residential research university ...

Cats prepare for Gamecocks KEVIN ERPENBECK kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
After two straight road games that tested the Cats’ reserve, No. 1 UK (24-0) returns home to face South Carolina on Saturday. The Cats survived upset bids from Florida and LSU in their last two games to remain perfect on the year. On Sunday, UK trailed Florida 30-28 at halftime. It was the fifth time all season the Cats were behind at the break. But UK battled back, shooting for 50 percent in the second half and going 21-for-22 from the line to win 68-61 over the Gators. On Tuesday, UK traveled to LSU to face a 17-6 Tigers team that is projected to make the NCAA Tournament in March. The Cats fell behind 10-2 in the first three minutes of the game, but rallied to lead 38-34 at the half. UK led by as many as 13 points in the second half, but watched LSU go on a 21-2 run to lead 66-60 with 7:38 to go in the game. Refusing to see their undefeated streak come to an end, the Cats gritted it out with the Tigers, and freshman forward Karl-Anthony Towns hit a hook-shot SEE BASKETBALL PAGE 4

jumper in the final minute of the game to give his team the lead permanently. UK eked by LSU for the 71-69 win after the Tigers’ potential game-winning three-pointer clanked off the rim. Saturday’s home match against South Carolina will be the second time this season the Cats face the Gamecocks. UK won the first match 58-43 on Jan. 24 to match the program’s best start to a season under head coach John Calipari. A win on Saturday would match UK’s best start, set during the 1953-54 season. Sophomore guard Aaron Harrison leads the team in scoring, averaging 11.1 points per game. Harrison was a key factor in the Cats’ win over Florida, scoring 18 of his game-high 23 points in the second half. Towns has been on a tear lately, scoring double-digit points in his last four games and recording two double-doubles in that span. The 6-foot-11 forward leads the team in rebounds, averaging 6.5 a game. Towns also leads all Cats in blocks with 57 on the year. Tip-off for Saturday’s game is at 2 p.m.

Baseball team to play Ball State DEREK TERRY sports@kykernel.com
UK baseball will open the 2015 season on Friday in Wilmington, N.C., where the Cats will play Ball State of the Mid-American Conference. The matchup will be the first of three games that UK will play during the weekend, facing Richmond on Saturday and host team UNC-Wilmington on Sunday. Ball State finished last season as the MAC regular season champions with a 3918 record. The Cardinals bid for an NCAA Tournament berth came up short, however, as they lost to Western Michigan in the semifinals of the MAC Tournament. The Cats won two out of three games against Ball State in a weekend series at Cliff Hagan Stadium last season. UK dropped the first game 10-8 before coming back and putting up 50 runs in the next two games, winning 24-1 and 26-3, respectively. UK junior pitcher Dustin Beggs will get his first career start for UK on Friday. Beggs, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound right hander, transferred to UK at the end of last season from Georgia Perimeter College. He led all of junior college baseball with 125 strikeouts in 2014 and finished with an 11-4 record and a 1.65 earned run average. Beggs was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 17th round of the MLB draft last year, but decided to forgo the minor leagues and attend UK instead. Ball State sophomore pitcher Zach Plesac will get the opening-day start for the Cardinals. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound right hander finished last season with a 12-2 record and a 2.11 earned run average. He also recorded six saves for Ball State. Plesac was named the Collegiate Baseball National Freshman Pitcher of the Year in 2014. He also earned Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American recognition and was named to the Louisville Slugger AllAmerica Third Team. First pitch between Ball State and UK is set for noon.

Where would Mississippi State be without freshman Victoria Vivians? Certainly heading back to Starkville, Miss. suffering from a far greater loss than the 92-90 one the JOSHUA HUFF Bulldogs endured on Thursday in double overSports Editor time against a Makayla Epps-led UK team. The 6-foot-1 Carthage, Miss., native scored 39 points for a Bulldogs team that was devoid of any offense other than senior center Martha Alwal and herself. Granted, Mississippi St. ran into a UK team riding a swell of success ever since Epps switched over to the point guard position. By the way, Epps had a career-best 42 points. “We hardly had an answer for her, obviously,” Mississippi St. head coach Vic Shaefer pointed out. “She really dominat-
ed the game offensively.” Yet one would think that after Mississippi St’s. 63-61 overtime win against then-No. 15 Texas A&M on Sunday, the Bulldogs would enter Memorial Coliseum with confidence. But the only player who seemed confident was Vivians. “I’d glad she came when the bus was leaving,” Shaefer said of her. “Because if she wasn’t here in the first half, this is probably a 20-25 point game. She put us on her back in the first half.” Her confidence grew as the game went on and UK entered its usual late-game cold spell. Down 10 points with just under five minutes left in the game, Vivians led a charge that brought the Bulldogs to within one point. It was her layup with two minutes remaining that gave Mississippi St. its first lead of the game, which came as no surprise, as UK has a penchant for allowing teams to rally late in games. It was inevitable that the Bulldogs
would make a late run. Down three points with less than two minutes to go, Vivians drained a clutch three that tied the game at 72, which was reminiscent of her decisive three against Texas A&M with 55 seconds left in overtime. That shot, along with a time-expiring layup by freshman guard Morgan William, sent the game into overtime. That’s when Vivian shined. Down two with less than 30 seconds left in overtime, Vivian stepped back beyond the arc and fired a three that dropped like melted butter through the net, a three that gave the Bulldogs its second lead of the game. However, Epps wasn’t to be outdone. With 11 seconds left, she dropped a teardrop into the net to tie the game and send it to yet another overtime. But two overtimes was enough for Epps, whose desperation layup with a sec-

Suicide spurs transgender discussion SARAH BROOKBANK news@kykernel.com
In a show of solidarity with the LGBT+ community, university president Eli Capilouto spoke at “‘Fix Society’ Leelah’s Law,” a panel discussion on conversion therapy and transgender issues. The panel on Thursday night was sparked by the suicide of a young transgender woman, Leelah Alcorn, who begged the readers of her suicide note to fix society for the better. Capilouto spoke to the crowd at Memorial Hall, saying that the community must begin to foster change. Capilouto said that society cannot be whole when its transgender members experience such a high level of discrimination. Dr. Daniel Walinsky from the counseling psychology department discussed conversion therapy, as someone who has experi-
enced it as a doctor, and the first-hand shame experienced as a young cisgender gay male. Walinsky said that conversion therapy is based on shame and internalizing negativity towards the community. “We have evidence that family acceptance is a predictor of better physical and mental health later in life,” Walinsky said. Conversion therapy leads to anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts, according to the Human Rights Campaign, and is legal in 48 states, according to the Huffington Post. It has been denounced by the American Psychiatric Association. “Gender identity isn’t the problem,” Walinsky said. “It’s how to live authentically in a society with rigid gender definitions.” Transgender women of color face more discrimination and violence than any other group in the LGBT+ community. Since the beginning of 2015, five transgender women
of color have been murdered in the U.S. Keenan McMillan is a merchandising senior and the president of Shades of Pride, which was founded less than one year ago. He said that while there are plenty of organizations on campus that focus on race or gender identity, that his organization hopes to cater to both. “We wanted to fill a void and promote a safe space for people of color in this community,” McMillan said. “We want to educate people and provide a space to be able to relax with others you identify with.” Alex Baxter, a biology and psychology junior and co-president of the Gay/Straight Alliance, said the event was a “step in the right direction” for the campus and LGBT community.

Remembering Smith
SPORTS
Players, coaches fill funeral
ANNE BLYTHE The News & Observer (MCT)
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Inside the Chapel Hill church where Dean Smith had a regular seat on the back row, family, friends and former players gathered privately Thursday to celebrate the coach whose fight, accomplishments and values transcended the bounds of a basketball court. While a public memorial services for the longtime UNC coach is set for 2 p.m. Feb. 22 in the campus arena that bears his name, those closest to the native Kansan spent Thursday at Olin T. Binkley Baptist Church to say goodbye. As a small group of media gathered outside the church, sidelined fans stood on the churchyard perimeter to get a glimpse of sports greats. They did not want to intrude. But they did not want to miss a chance to get a glimpse of star athletes they had mostly seen through a TV screen. Michael Jordan and his mother were among those who paid their respects in the light and airy church that Smith attended for decades. James Worthy, Sam Perkins, Eric Montross, Rasheed Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse, Jason Capel, Jeff McInnis, Donald Williams and King Rice also were there in dark suits — and more often than not sporting Carolina blue ties.
“It was a nice service,” said Rice, a Tar Heel point guard from 1998 to 1991, who now is head coach at Monmouth University in New Jersey. Roy Williams, a former Tar Heel player who now leads the program that Smith built into a national powerhouse, was unable to hold back tears, according to those who attended, as he offered recollections of his mentor. Watching Williams was Bill Guthridge, who took over as head coach in 1997 after Smith offered what many characterize as the ultimate assist to Guthridge — announcing his retirement within weeks of the season’s beginning to ensure that his longtime assistant would be his successor. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, a longtime sports rival who has expressed admiration for the life Smith lived, also was at the service. So was former Georgetown coach John Thompson, whose Hoyas lost to the Tar Heels in the 1982 NCAA finals. Marcus McFaul, listed as “intentional interim minister” at Binkley, offered remarks at a service that included scripture readings from 1 Corinthians 13 and Matthew 25:31-46 and hymns — “O God Our Help in Ages Past,” “In the Bulb There is a Flower,” “Now Thank We All Our God” and “Amazing Grace.” Howard Lee, a former N.C. state senator and the first African-American mayor of Chapel Hill, was listed as a speaker, as were Smith’s son and daughter.

ond left on the clock sent the Cats to a crowd-erupting victory that will go down as a win for the ages. And in a night that saw two talented players shine, it was fitting that the player who had to step in and replace Janee Thompson would be
her best friend, Epps. The new point guard would go on and shine the brightest. UK head coach Matthew Mitchell summed up the performance best. “I’m glad she scored 42 not 39,” he said. “We needed those extra three points that she gave us.”

more in the English and gender and women's studies programs agreed with Baxter’s estimation of transgender students’ importance. “As far as transgender and bisexual people, there is erasure in the heterosexual and cisgender parts of the community,” Filippini said. “We need to create more visibility for the rest of the (community) ... It’s life. It’s all the time for trans people and LGBT people.”
Co- vice president of the Gay/Straight Alliance Matthew Edwards cautioned that in order for progress to happen, the conversation about transgender issues has to continue. “It was a really great conversation that is a step in the right direction,” Edwards, a biology and psychology sophomore, said. “For it to really help, we need it to continue.
