Basketball gods lean in Cats’ favor Intense back-and-forth game ends in UK victory By Joshua Huff jhuff@kykernel.com
UK’s victory on Saturday against Notre Dame is difficult to describe. However, one word fits the bill perfectly. Wow. For 38 minutes of UK’s 68-66 sent-from-Heaven victory in Quicken Loans Arena, the thought that UK’s magnificent undefeated season was over was as close to reality as it has been all season. Even Jerian Grants’ out-ofthe-arena three to put the Irish up by two with two minutes left seemed to solidify that notion. But the powers that be had other ideas. They touched Karl-Anthony Towns with the ability of resurgence and touched Andrew Harrison with the ability to be clutch from the free throw line. Coming off a disappointing one-point showing against West Virginia, the freshman Towns, who promised he would rebound in Saturday’s game, dominated a smaller Notre Dame team.
He had 25 points, five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals, with four fouls. His ability to finish around the rim and his ability to position himself into one-on-one matchups against the Irish’s bigs kept UK’s pulse from flat-lining. Unfortunately for Notre Dame forward Zach Auguste, who had a big night himself, the conversation switched from his 20 points and nine rebounds to his inability to corral Towns. “Towns was fabulous,” Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey said. “Our two bigs, God bless them, they were on their own most of the night. The one time I go zone, (UK guard Devin) Booker hits a three, and the one time we try to help a bit, (UK point guard Tyler) Ulis hits a three.” The two teams battled back and forth throughout the first half and the majority of the second half. The Irish, though, eventually pulled ahead 44-42 after a Steve Vasturia three and held onto that lead until the three-minute
mark. That was when Aaron Harrison delivered his own dagger-three to give UK the brief lead. Harrison finished with just six points and four rebounds. But no play was bigger than Andrew Harrison’s final drive with six seconds left in the game. “Coach told me to go at nine (seconds) and I think I went a little bit before that,” he said. “It was so wide open that I just tried to take it, and I got fouled and got to make two free throws.” Those two free throws gave UK a two-point lead, but six seconds still remained for Notre Dame. Grant received the inbound pass, drove to the corner, and with time expiring, heaved a three that cleared the rim, ending all luck for the Irish. All Notre Dame could do then was stand and stare as UK ran up the court in jubilation. Had the basketball gods felt generous, the Irish would have been celebrating as they stifled the Cats throughout. Against UK’s size, Notre

Dame dropped 40 points in the paint and nearly matched UK in rebounds with a 28-29 margin. But it was the over two-minute scoring drought near the end that killed the Irish. “We just wanted to execute and we just wanted to
win the game,” Auguste said of the final minutes. “We had them where we wanted, but in the end we didn’t execute to get the win.” Instead, Notre Dame is heading home and UK survives for another week; a week that will be filled with
preparation for Wisconsin in the Final Four. Fans, however, will still be talking about how great a show the two teams put on Saturday night. “What a great college game,” Brey said. “It was thrilling to be part of it. It lived up to the hype.”
It’s starting to look a lot like destiny KYLE ARENSDORF Kernel Columnist
A dejected Notre Dame fan and two of his friends looked on Saturday night, mouths agape, as the game clock struck zero and the Cats rushed the floor in a frenzy. The silence between the three was broken when he posed a question half of Quicken Loans Arena was probably wondering. “How did they win that game?” It was a great question. After all, when Notre Dame guard Jerian Grant’s final three-point heave flew past the rim to give UK the 68-66 victory, I was left thinking the same thing. Notre Dame had everything working for it. It seemed meant to be. From the get-go, the Cats were hyper-aware of the Irish’s three-point-shooting capacity, and as a result were left vulnerable to their backdoor cuts to the rim. Their wing players sagged into the post on defense, limiting UK’s ability to score inside. And when UK’s big men kicked the ball back out to the perimeter, Notre Dame’s guards were sticking with the shooters. The Irish were able to do
something no team has done all year – render freshman guard Tyler Ulis completely useless. Karl-Anthony Towns was dominant all game, but even he was a liability on the defensive end, allowing Notre Dame’s Zach Auguste to hang 20 points on him in the post. Even when UK made runs, Notre Dame was always able to respond with one of its own. When UK sophomore guard Aaron Harrison flashed the 2014 NCAA Tournament side of himself and hit a deep, pressure-packed three, Grant swished a three from even further on the next possession. The timid, in-over-theirheads Irish who started the game with six turnovers hardened into a sharp, savvy unit that coughed up the ball only once after the 9:17 mark of the first half (more than 29 minutes of play). Notre Dame did everything it could do to win, and it should have been enough. It just wasn’t. The Cats showed an uncanny ability to lock down perfectly on defense when they needed a few stops. It’s happened all season – albeit much earlier in those games – and it’s what finally made the difference on Saturday. Notre Dame didn’t convert a field goal for the final 2:35 of the game while UK made its last nine shots. It was one

Cats hold first football scrimmage By Kevin Erpenbeck kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
The temperature outside might have been below freezing, but the intensity of UK Football’s first spring scrimmage was on fire. Several fans turned out to watch the Cats participate in their sixth practice of the spring semester on Saturday, despite the thermometer reading 30 degrees for most of the two-hour session. UK put its previous practice drills to the test during the faux Blue vs. White match, where the offense (Blue) shined throughout. Head coach Mark Stoops was impressed with the effort from his players, even if some plays ended with short skirmishes between teammates. “It’s going to be competitive in the spring when you’re constantly going against each other,” Stoops said. “When we’re open to the media and the fans, I like to keep it as clean as possible. But yeah,
they’re going to get intense and get after each other.” Sophomore wide receiver Blake Bone hauled in two touchdowns on the day while freshman tight end C.J. Conrad snagged another. Stoops said it’s important for the team to have tall options in the passing game. Both players fit the bill at 6foot-5. “You’re not going to create all this space,” Stoops said. “Blake continues to get better and C.J. with the height he has … We need guys like that to make plays.” Running back Jojo Kemp also had a strong outing, recording three touchdowns from the ground. After his final score, Kemp ran over to high-five every fan that stood on the sidelines of the open practice as part of his celebration. “They came out, so I had to make it worthwhile coming,” Kemp said. “I had to make sure they enjoyed their time here.”

OPINIONS
Private businesses should not be forced to serve MATT YOUNG Kernel Columnist
In an ideal world, there would be an unwritten code, a gentleman’s agreement, between evangelical Christians and gay rights activists; an agreement something like this: Christians will not throw “fire and brimstone” in the faces of the LGBT community, and the LGBT community will not throw vitriol and scorn at Christians. Unfortunately, as Congress has been so apt to display, when humans feel passionately about an issue, maturity is even less important than honesty. A little dose of both might go a long way. To be honest, a small group of “Christians” did start the whole mess. They picketed LGBT events, they told LGBT people they were going to hell, they did everything un-Christian-like to make sure the LGBT community knew their version of God hated them. It doesn’t matter who started it, and when that rational is used as a justification to act irrationally, adults bare more in common with kindergarteners than grownups. It was in this environment that Indiana saw fit to pass a law setting compelling interest and less restrictive means tests to de-
termine infringement on religion. While 20 other states have similar laws that haven’t ruffled feathers, the tsunami of outrage against Indiana has been immediate. Businesses and organizations like the NCAA and Angie’s List have questioned the law and discussed openly whether they should change their plans going forward to exclude Indiana. While legal analysts argue over whether the law will give Christian business owners the right to refuse gay patrons, Governor Mike Pence insists the intent was only to protect against gov-
“
ding,” is somehow comparable to unleashing dogs, water cannons, and police batons on Freedom Riders. What it would be equal to would be a Japanese artifact store turning down a religious person asking for a Katana they can use to behead animals, like a Tulane fraternity, as part of a religious ceremony. Despite most Americans eating meat, they would still have a moral objection to the act, and wish not to facilitate it. This is exactly how Christians feel when they are asked to facilitate a same-sex marriage. If it is hatred and bigotry to turn

ernment overreach, though he refuses to confirm that it will not be used to discriminate. But if a Christian baker does not want to bake a cake for a gay wedding, they should not be forced to. To the LGBT community this is overblown as bigotry, hatred, and discrimination on the same level as Southern segregation. As if simply saying “I don’t support gay marriage, and I’d rather not bake a cake for that wed-
down service to an LGBT wedding or event, it is equally hatful and bigotous to have a Christian business shut down because of it. It needs to be said that any “we don’t serve your kind here” remarks from Christian owners would have more in common with Jim Crow than Jesus Christ, and should be put down by Congress regulating interstate commerce, as they did with those remarks toward African Americans.
Lexington has a prime example. Hands On Originals was ruled discriminatory because they did not want to print t-shirts for a gay pride festival. There was no hatred or bigotry, evidenced by gay employees and customers of the company. It was the message, not the sexual orientation, which Hands On did not want to serve. The Constitution guarantees Americans that laws will not prohibit the free exercise of their religion. It does not guarantee the right to have service. Again, denial based on LGBT status alone should be legislated against; discrimination is not acceptable. However, businesses should be left to decide what events they will or won’t facilitate. Why any LGBT person or organization would even want someone who opposes their lifestyle or cause to facilitate their event in the first place is hard to understand. The only logical reason seems to be forcing their lifestyle or cause upon the business; the irony of that shouldn’t need to be pointed out. As long as either side lacks the maturity to see how juvenile this is, a gentleman’s agreement will not suffice – a law like Indiana’s might be necessary.

Extremism on the rise CHEYENE MILLER Kernel Columnist
About a week ago (cue the Bobby Shmurda dance), my favorite news program, HBO’s Vice, did a story on extremist right-wing groups, which often refer to themselves as “patriot groups.” Since then I have begun to think about how unpatriotic these groups truly are. A recent study funded by the Department of Homeland Security found that two of the top three terrorist threats in America were not Islamic extremist groups, but right-wing extremist groups. Essentially, these groups are comprised of groups of citizens who are so dissociated that their only solution is to stockpile ammunition and practice apocalyptic procedures. Often the basis of these “patriot groups” is that President Barack Obama is a tyrant who is trying to take away the Second Amendment. Are these people living in reality? Do they realize that gun production has in fact soared under Obama? Do they realize that handgun production alone rose 128 percent during Obama’s first term, or that the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, the country’s most prominent gun control organization, gave Obama a failing grade on enacting gun control? Apparently these groups didn’t get the message, as the number of “patriot groups” exploded during the period of 2008 to 2012, from 149 to 1,360. And let’s not pretend
that race isn’t playing an issue here, as the number of extremist right-wing groups just happened to start surging during the first term of a black president. The last time we saw a surge in right-wing extremism was in the mid 1990s, fueled by legislation like the 1993 Brady Bill and the 1994 ban on assault rifles under President Bill Clinton. But this was not as significant as what we’re experiencing now, oddly enough as more people have been approved for gun purchases under Obama than under Clinton and George W. Bush. But the most troublesome aspect of these rightwing groups is that they refer to themselves as patriots. Someone please explain to me what is patriotic about planning to use violence against a government that is clearly not infringing on Second Amendment rights the way they are portrayed to be? NRA poster boy and rocker Ted Nugent has previously told Obama to “suck on (the barrel of) his machine gun,” and referred to him as a subhuman mongrel. It seems like these extremists will call Obama just about everything except the nword, although it’s clear that’s what they’re thinking. Regardless of what words they use or how many guns they stockpile, these people don’t deserve to call themselves patriots, and they are no different than any other extremist group that uses violence to send their political message.

Runners caked in bright pink, purple, orange and green powder streamed through the ending arches of the 2015 Color Me Rad 5K on Saturday morning. The ground throughout Masterson Station Park was streaked with more color as the crowd made its way through the area and dusted each other with the contents of more color packets. Alpha Delta Pi hosted the color run for the third year in a row to benefit Lexington’s Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass. Philanthropy chair Mallory Zaino said that although she didn’t have a final number for how much money was raised, in the past the run has raised about $12,000 for their philanthropy. “I know we were worried that the cold would keep people from showing up, but it looks like everyone who signed up showed up,” Zaino said. Zaino commended the ADPi volunteers who manned the eight color stations, which
splattered the runners with powder and gel paint as they passed. “Regardless of the cold, they had a really great attitude,” she said. Many of the runners wore light-colored clothing to better display the paint streaks. resident Georgetown Rachel Isaacs drove about 30 minutes to attend the color run. She said the most fun part of the day was watching the other participants dress up in neon accessories and get colored at every arch. “You have fun and you also get families meals to eat,” Isaacs said. Laura Howard, a recent dietetics graduate from UK, attended the run with her mother and sister. “We just thought it looked like fun,” Howard said. “We pretty much walked the whole way, but it was.” Howard and her family paused at the ending arches to take photos and empty more paint packets over themselves before leaving. “It seemed like a really fun spring activity,” Howard said. “Even though it’s actually cold.”
Cats bring heat, fans bring fire By Will Wright, Anne Halliwell, and Cheyene Miller news@kykernel.com
Celebrations complete with torched couches and broken beer bottles led to 18 arrests for disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication, and eight people being transported to Chandler Hospital on Saturday night on and around State Street, according to Susan Straub, Lexington press secretary. Crowds of UK Basketball fans rushed to State Street shortly after the Cats’ victory over the University of Notre Dame. Small fires dotted the crowd, which was thousands of people large. Police lined front yards and extinguished large couch fires, which were circled by chanting fans. Other items that were burned included shirts and sweaters that came off the backs of the celebrating fans, as well as chairs and empty beer boxes.

stroy anything, but if something’s being destroyed, I’m going to watch,” said civil engineering freshman Matt Gerber, who noted that he and his friends were quick to make the walk to State Street after UK sealed the game. “As soon as we won, we gave our group three minutes to get ready. We said, ‘you got three minutes,’” Gerber said. Street cleaning trucks moved up and down the
State Street-neighborhood roads after 2 a.m., when the crowd was largely dispersed. “Crowd was obviously larger tonight, but once again the celebrations were relatively calm,” according to the City of Lexington’s Twitter page. “Compared to most weekends in Lexington, there was no substantial increase in run volume for Police and Fire because of the celebration.”

who graduated from UK with a degree in kinesiology, came to State Street after watching the game from their home off Elizabeth Avenue. “We watch it together in a more calm setting … so we can focus on the actual game. Then we kind of sneak out of our house to come down here to see … the scene,” Bauer said. “The appeal is maybe being a part of something bigger than us. To an extent, it makes you feel a part of something — but would you say it’s terrifying, to some extent?” Bauer and Zimmerman said they enjoyed the celebratory aspects of State Street, like the “C-A-T-S” chants, rather than the burning debris that lit up the crowd as they watched from a house’s balcony. “We like the energy,” Bauer said. “We don’t like the bottles being thrown.” Some students wish to only witness the debauchery on State Street rather than participate in it. “I’m not going to de-
A malfunction to a boiler in UK’s boiler plant caused a fire to occur on Friday night. The Lexington Fire Department was called to the incident at around 8:50 p.m. and eventually extinguished the flames inside. According to UK spokesperson Jay Blanton, the fire caused some buildings on campus to lose heat.
“All buildings impacted will be operational Monday,” wrote Blanton in an email to the Kentucky Kernel. “Heat was restored by Saturday morning. The buildings impacted were Taylor and Dickey, and Reynolds 1,2,3. All have heat and will be in operation on Monday.” Blanton noted that one of the boilers was damaged in the fire. “We know there was an equipment malfunction, but
our facilities team will have to conduct an analysis to determine the impact and what long-term fixes may be necessary,” Blanton wrote. Lexington Fire Department Battalion Chief Jeff Nantz added that the flames never left the boiler unit and that no one was injured in the incident. By 11 p.m., firefighters were working to clean up the area outside the building while still keeping the boiler at a safe tempera-
ture by continuously spraying water on it. Firefighters were seen walking on the rooftop of the building as they inspected the upper pipes for any residual fire or damage to the lines due to the cold air outside mixed with the heat from rising smoke. Nantz said there was “no danger at all” to the area after firefighters were able to cool down the boiler, which had degraded after some time due to the flames inside it.
