Golden finish for MU against Murray State Andrei Greska With 7:35 left in Saturday’s game, Marquette’s season hung in the balance. The Golden Eagles were down 46-41 in as hostile an environment as you can get in the NCAA Tournament. Let’s Bill Simmons this bad boy and take you step by step look at how the Golden Eagles persevered through a courtside Retro Diary. Second half, 7:35 remaining: 20,000 of 22,000 fans are on their feet, creating a raucous environment in the KFC Yum! Center after a Murray State layup pushed the lead to five. Buzz calls a time-
out to settle his team, a crucial call that turns the game around, but we’ll get to that. Buzz is by no means a member of time-outers anonymous, often choosing to let his team play through the adversity, but the stakes were simply too high. Had he let the play continue with the crowd on its feet as it was, it would have been tough to get a good offensive possession with Derrick Wilson at the helm. An empty possession there followed by a Racer score would have been near insurmountable in those conditions. Good call, Buzz. Fourteen seconds later: Freshman guard Todd Mayo shows no fear once again, backing down his man and getting fouled on a lay-in attempt. He hits two free throws to cut the Murray State lead to three and does the Sam Cassell “dance” — not really, but that was a ballsy play. See, Greska page 12

KONY 2012

Normally, when one hears the term ‘viral video,’ a thirty-second clip of a woman stomping grapes comes to mind, not a 30-minute profile of an African warlord. The latter is Invisible Children’s “KONY 2012” film, an exposé that has taken social media by storm in recent weeks earning both followers and critics. Invisible Children, a human rights organization focusing on abuses in Uganda and other African nations, has set new records for the popularity of videos on the internet through their KONY 2012 campaign. According to Visible Measures, a company that measures and sells ads for viral videos, it took only six days for the video to reach 100 million views. The video has also been translated into Spanish, Italian, French, Chinese and other languages. The KONY 2012 campaign focuses on ending violence perpetrated by the Lord’s Resistance Army and its leader Joseph Kony by the end of 2012. The 30-minute video produced by the nonprofit organization shares
