Cats will have difficult time staying perfect, history says SPORTS

Multiple undefeated teams have faltered

Since Indiana defeated Michigan in the 1976 NCAA Championship game to cap off a perfect season, no team has finished the regular season undefeated and gone on to win the national championship. UK looks to buck that JOSHUA HUFF trend, as it reKernel Columnist mains one victory away from becoming only the 23rd team in college basketball history to finish the regular season undefeated. History, however, has been unkind to teams that have entered the NCAA Tournament undefeated. Only seven teams, 1956 San Francisco, 1957 North Carolina, 1964,67,72,73 UCLA and 1976 Indiana, have finished off a perfect season with the tournament crown. With nearly every regular season obstacle hurdled, the stars may align for this UK team to run the table and hang its ninth championship banner, but if history has a say, then the Cats are in for a rude awakening. And there’s no better team to ask than last season’s wunderkind, Wichita State. After entering the tournament 34-0, the Shockers fell to an eight-seed UK team that at one point in the season was a tournament bubble team. Granted, Wichita State’s strength of schedule was No. 96 in the country, with only two wins against teams in the RPI Top 50 (BYU and Tennessee).

But the loss to a middling Cats team came as a complete shock. UK, on an off note, has a 14-0 record against Top 50 BPI teams. The argument, however, isn’t about strength of schedules. It’s about how on any given Sunday, or in UK’s case, any “Super” Tuesday, any team has a chance to defeat anybody, especially in a time where the talent discrepancy in college basketball is mute. Look at Duke in last year’s NCAA Tournament. The Blue Devils were a three seed going up against No. 14 seed Mercer. After being one of the best offensive teams in the country, Duke was expected to make a run to the Final Four, but ran into a hot-shooting Bears team that defeated Duke 78-71. With that loss, Duke became just another power-conference team with high expectations that was sent home to watch the remainder of the tournament. Going back to last year’s UK team, after an unspectacular regular season, the stars did align for a Cats team that gameby-game knocked off one power conference team after another (Kansas State, Louisville, Michigan, Wisconsin) before falling to Connecticut in the championship game. During this season, UK has had a tendency to play up to the competition and down to it. But going into the tournament with the No. 1 seed, UK will be tasked with playing against lower mid-major seeds, which will be teams that are more than capable of taking down titans.

Playing up to the competition

Tournament time is just over the horizon, and teams are tuning up for the most pressure-packed part of the season. But for the Cats, beating Florida Saturday could put an end to any hopes of ruining their perfect 40-0 season. The only teams that have gotten close to blemishing UK throughout the season have been ones it hasn’t taken that KYLE ARENSDORF seriously. Kernel Columnist Non-conference opponents such as Buffalo and Columbia (which has as many losses as wins this season) held leads against the Cats after the first half of their respective games. Middle-of-the-pack SEC teams such as LSU, Vanderbilt, Florida and Georgia haven’t received the Cats’ full attention and have been able to take them to the wire. The third- and fourth-best teams in the SEC (Ole Miss and Texas A&M, respectively) pushed UK to overtime, but one could argue it was a result of the Cats’ first taste of physical conference play. Not to mention the back-to-back games came after three tough games against No. 21 North Carolina, UCLA and No. 4 Louisville. Conversely, when the Cats get up for

And there are no greater indicators than history itself.

Underclassmen need to follow seniors’ example SPORTS

They could have kept quiet, let their head coach handle the lack of focus and discipline on the team as most coaches do. They could have decided that they accomplished enough during their time with the program, winning an SEC championship and KEVIN ERPENBECK making two Elite Eight appearKernel Columnist ances. They could have let the season continue to collapse, but they didn’t. On Feb. 24, the UK Hoops senior class, or more specifically Jennifer O’Neill, called for a private meeting with head coach Matthew Mitchell to discuss what was missing from this year’s team and what needed to change. No one was defensive during the meeting nor did anyone distribute blame to others. They just knew that what was going on internally wasn’t working and wasn’t going to fix itself anytime soon. According to Mitchell, the conversation he had with his veterans was humbling, eye-opening and one of his proudest moments as a coach. It took extreme courage to do what the seniors did that Tuesday night, and it perfectly epitomizes what it means to be a leader. They weren’t satisfied with closing out their final regular season at UK on a low note, hoping all would be corrected come tournament time. If the issues on the team weren’t promptly fixed, there wasn’t going to be any success in the tournament. So Mitchell hunkered down, got stricter with his players and demanded more responsibility from his team. As a result, the Cats capped off the season with two straight wins, including a stunning upset of SEC co-champion South Carolina. The conversation the seniors administered with their coach changed

UK prepares for UMass game DEREK TERRY sports@kykernel.com

UK baseball (9-3) rides a seven-game winning streak into this weekend’s four-game home stand with UMass, who has yet to play a game this season. The Cats matchup with Wright State on Wednesday was canceled due to inclement weather, making it the fifth home game this year the team had to either suspend or cancel. Led by strong starting pitching performances from freshmen left-handers Zach Logue and Brad Schaenzeron on Tuesday, UK was able to keep the runs at a premium against Murray State, sweeping the Racers at home. Logue went 6.2 innings in his first-ever start on the mound, allowing four hits and one run while striking out seven in 107 pitches. The freshman was able to earn his first win of the season with the outing as the Cats topped Murray State 41 in the first game. Schaenzer threw 70 pitches for his first career start during Game Two, allowing five hits

and one run while striking out three. The left-hander was not able to pick up the win, however, because the score was tied 11 when he was brought out of the game after the fifth inning. UK rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Racers later on. Junior catcher Zach Arnold was the star at the plate for the Cats, delivering a runs-battedin-double in the first game to get UK on the board first. He later came on to provide the goahead run in the second game on a pinch-hit double. Junior centerfielder Kyle Barrett also had a productive series as he extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a fourhit performance on the day. Freshman first baseman Evan White extended his own hitting streak to 11 games at the end of the first game, but had it snapped when he left the second game due to a sore hamstring. UMass has seen its own version of schedule changes this year as its slated March 3 season opener against Central Connecticut was canceled as well. First pitch is set for 5 p.m. on Friday.

the complexion of this UK Hoops team. More importantly, though, their conversation saved their season. With Sunday’s win over the Gamecocks, UK has all but secured a top-16 seed in the NCAA Tournament, granting the team two home games during the first and second round. Those home games are essential in the path to making a fourth straight Sweet 16 appearance for the Cats; a truly remarkable feat, even for

such an already highly successful senior group. The leaders of the team did their part in helping correct the issues at hand – no, they did more than their part, which ironically is what you would expect from leaders. They could have chosen to stand by and, as Mitchell put it, “ride out their final 30 days into the sunset.” But they didn’t. The seniors want-

UK looks to end season on a perfect note SPORTS

JOSHUA HUFF jhuff@kykernel.com

Just over a year ago UK was preparing to face a Florida team that finished the season with three losses and went undefeated in the SEC. Now the Gators head to Rupp Arena to finish the SEC regular season against a UK team that remains undefeated after weathering the Georgia storm on Tuesday. Florida looks to end the season with a win against the No. 1 team in the nation, a win that would place the Gators at .500 in the conference. That, however, may be wishful thinking. UK’s perfect season was on the line Tuesday night as

Georgia dominated the post. The Bulldogs’ tenacity down low helped build a nine-point lead with less than 10 minutes left in the game. But, the Cats refused to buckle. Behind the late-game heroics of Karl-Anthony Towns, UK left Georgia with an improbable win. A win that not only boosts UK’s confidence, but solidifies itself as a team that can face adversity and prevail. The last time the two teams faced, UK struggled from the field. Shooting just 21 percent from three and 47 percent from the field, but won the game from the line (UK shot 21-22 from the stripe). Since that game, UK found its rhythm, blowing out five out its last seven opponents. The only two teams that

gave the Cats trouble were LSU and Georgia. Florida, though, has seen its fortunes diminish after the first matchup. The Gators proceeded to lose four of its last seven but, as of recently, have rebounded with two consecutive wins against Tennessee and Texas A&M. UK’s size will play the deciding factor yet again. Florida struggled to drive past UK’s bigs, settling for shooting threes (Florida went 6-21 from three). For UK to win, it will need to dominate the boards and hold Florida out of the paint. Look for Aaron Harrison to once again to have an outstanding game. He finished with 23 points and was helped by the 19 points from Towns.

SGA voting continues online only NEWS

Weather will not delay election CHEYENE MILLER news@kykernel.com

UK students have the chance to decide which direction they want to be led in when they vote in the annual Student Government Association elections. Voting opened on Wednesday and will continue until Thursday at 6:00 p.m. when polls close. Results will be announced at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. According to elections board chair Julia Vega, voting will continue exclusively online in the event that the university is closed due to

the incoming winter storm. Vega said that at this point, over 3,500 students have voted in the election, which is right on track with the voter turnout from last year. Candidates Dwight Haggard and Taylor Dale Clark ran their campaign on the promises of connecting with university staff, implementing student-run task forces and ending frivolous use of SGA funds. “Creating student-run task forces, allowing student organizations to apply for funding from student government more than once a year, and pushing the administration to enact legislation calling for a fully wet campus are all goals we

will attain,” Haggard and Clarks’ platform statement said. Candidates Austin Mullen and Jenna Hollinden plan to implement several new positions in student government. These include a director of finance, which would essentially act as SGA’s treasurer, and a director for inclusion, which would work alongside the recently implemented Taskforce on Diversity and Inclusion on methods to reduce instances of hate and discrimination on campus. “Our team believes that we have the unique skill set necessary to enact lasting change, while protecting time-honored traditions through our comprehensive campus plan,” Mullen and Hollindens’ platform statement said.

The candidates squared off in the annual SGA Presidential and Vice Presidential Debate Monday evening, and discussed issues such as racism on social media, proper use of SGA funding and UK implementing a wet campus policy. Haggard, Mullen and Hollinden have all served in positions with the student government, and Clark served as student body president at her high school. In last year’s student election, current student body president Jake Ingram and vice president Mariel Jackson defeated Micaha Dean and Evan Pulliam with 2,667 to 2,463 votes. With 29,385 students attending UK in 2014, about 17 percent of students participated in the presidential election last year.

Dreary skies and incessant rain could not dampen many students’ resolve to make their voices heard in this year’s student government elections. Students ranging from freshmen to seniors, marketing majors to psychology majors, voted this gray, soggy Wednesday for student government candidates. Although the candidates’ platforms focused on issues like Student Government spending and inclusivity, some students based their votes on the issues of female representation and university spending. Marketing senior Jordan McSayles said she voted for her chosen candidates based on their ideas for wiser and more efficient spending. She believes that voting is an important part of her role as a student. “Even though I’m graduating, I still like to see progress on campus,” McSayles said. English sophomore Katie Hamlin said her views aligned with those of presidential and vice-presidential candidates Austin Mullen and Jenna Hollinden. “I like what they stand for, and I would like to have female representation in the prominent positions of student government,” Hamlin said. Although students like McSayles and Hamlin

felt that voting was important, others chose to sit this election out. Psychology and sociology senior Vanessa Tirabassi said that she does not plan on voting because she does not feel very informed. “I don’t really know anything about the people and I don’t really care about politics,” Tirabassi said. Voting stations were set up in Whitehall and William T. Young Library, but students could also vote online. The polls, which opened Wednesday at 9 a.m., will close Thursday at 6 p.m. The results will be announced at 6:30 that night, according to the UK Student Government Association’s website.

HOW TO VOTE Polls opened Wednesday and will close Thursday at 6 p.m. Students can vote by going to the Student Government Association’s website, uksga.org.

Proposal moves to governor

University President Eli Capilouto announced on Tuesday that the Kentucky Senate approved a proposal for $132.5 million in state funding for a multi-disciplinary research facility at UK. The proposal was approved by the Kentucky House of Representatives on Feb. 13 and will continue to Governor Steve Beshear. The House of Representatives voted 83-9 in support of the funding for the research building. The university has committed to matching the state’s almost $133 million contribution, which should only pay for half of the projected building cost. Capilouto wrote in the campus-wide email that the university’s contributions will come from research awards generated by UK members and private fundraising. “Over the last several weeks, I have been gratified by the strong support we

have received from party leaders and rank-and-file members of both chambers and both parties,” Capilouto wrote in the email. “This facility — envisioned by our Board of Trustees at their October 2014 Retreat — will bring together researchers and others across our campus, from a host of disciplines, working side-by-side on the issues that most challenge our state.” The research building will focus on reducing the number of preventable deaths in Kentucky, like those from heart disease, cancer and accidents. “Our policy-makers’ vision is based on their faith in you,” Capilouto wrote in the email. “They understand what I see every day — talent, intellect, commitment and compassion among so many faculty, researchers, clinicians, staff, and students across an array of disciplines.” STAFF REPORT

Classes canceled due to weather NEWS

UK will be closed on Thursday due to a severe winter storm. Only Plan B employees are to report to work. UK Healthcare hospitals and clinics will operate on normal schedule. The university will be closed tomorrow just two weeks after a winter storm closed UK for nearly an entire week. The storm was preceded by heavy rainfall, which caused flooding in several areas on campus, and led to parts of University Drive and Rose Street to be temporarily closed. “The safety of our campus community is — and always will be — our top priority along with our ability to provide critical health care to those who depend upon us,” wrote President Eli Capilouto in a campuswide email. “It’s with those priorities in mind that we are making the decision to close Thursday so that we can utilize that time to prepare the campus for a return to regular operating hours on Friday.” Capilouto noted that university officials will continue to monitor the weather during

the night and all day Thursday, and will keep students informed on any changes to schedules. According to a winter weather briefing from the National Weather Service, Lexington and the entire central Kentucky area are predicted to get snow accumulating eight to over 10 inches, with snowfall rates up to two inches per hour. Central Kentucky will be under a winter storm warning until 1 p.m. Thursday, according to the briefing. “Travel will be treacherous with some roads nearly impassable,” a public alert from the National Weather Service said. “Have an emergency kit of blankets, food, water and flashlights if you must travel.” According the alert, wind gusts reaching up to 20 MPH along with heavy snowfall on Wednesday night could lead to downed limbs and scattered power outages.

AMC’s “The Walking Dead” has a TVMA rating, which specifies that the content depicted is for mature viewers only. But apparently six seasons of gory disembowelment, shots to the head, cannibalism and assault were not enough to inure some of the strongeststomached viewers to a ANNE HALLIWELL same-sex relationship. In short, a portion of Kernel Columnist the people who watch violence enacted against the shrinking pool of post-apocalyptic survivors and find a way to come back week after week could not muster up the maturity to handle a gay couple’s onscreen kiss. In an all-too-common occurrence that’s still horribly disappointing, Twitter became a

central location for viewers to air their homophobic viewpoints. The posts included slurs, general anger and, amazingly, protestations that the vulnerable eyes of child viewers needed to be protected from such material. The onscreen murder of several children in season four apparently didn’t factor in to that last argument. “The kiss should’ve come as no surprise to true fans, since both (of the characters) are out gay characters in the comics,” Erin Whitney of the Huffington Post wrote. It’s time for a familiar argument: geek culture can, and should, really work harder at inclusiveness. As a TV show based on a popular comic series about the zombie apocalypse, “The Walking Dead” has plenty of “geek cred.” The reality of geek culture is that

although it may have originated as a haven for people with unpopular interests to gather together, it hasn’t historically been as happy to include minorities of all kinds. There’s a fair amount of sexism, racism and general bigotry that still hasn’t been extinguished from the supposed overarching commonality of fandom. But it’s 2015. The fingerholds that homophobia still has in our culture are slowly being pried loose. And a reaction like this in any subculture, but especially one that prizes its outsider-friendly reputation so much, has no justification.

an opponent, or they decide to send a message, there isn’t much a team can do but watch it happen. It’s been the case all season. No. 5 Kansas, the Cats’ third opponent of the season, was the first to experience the blur of a fully-committed UK team, which left

Kansas head coach Bill Self at a loss for words after the game. The next ranked opponent in the Cats’ path was No. 6 Texas, who fell by 12 points, then it was No. 21 North Carolina, who lost by 14. But maybe the best example of UK’s ability to flip a switch and take down a troublesome opponent came Feb. 28 when

it faced the second-best team in the SEC, Arkansas, a team many thought could be a potential streak-breaker. The Cats took this as an opportunity to dismantle the Razorbacks, who were in a 31-point hole with nearly eight minutes left in the game when UK took its foot off the gas and allowed them to cut the deficit to a final of 84-67.

It’s apparent that when the Cats are motivated, they take their game to a level that’s unmatched in college basketball. And there’s no better motivation than a single-elimination tournament. So if prior evidence is any indication of things to come, Florida may be the final road block in UK’s coronation into college basketball history.

ed to see this season finish the way they envisioned it would back in November, carrying the team to its fullest potential. Your move, underclassmen. For much of the season, the Cats have struggled to get consistent production from their younger players, particularly in the post. Bigger opponents have dominated UK under the basket, both offensively and defensively. Mitchell has admitted all season that his team isn’t the largest in the country or even the conference. Combine that with the youth on those positions, and it’s easy to see why UK has had to rely on its perimeter play nearly all season. But it was more than the inconsistent play that hindered the Cats for a stretch, as the seniors revealed to Mitchell that particular Tuesday. It was the lack of focus, discipline and poor preparation that needed to be addressed. By letting Mitchell know that he wasn’t alone in corralling the team, the seniors took that first step in capping the season off the way it deserves to be. Now it’s about implementing those changes that were discussed, and continuing to be that newly focused and disciplined team. That, though, will take a total team-effort.
