SHOT FUCKKKKKKKKKK DOWN Kentucky’s late 3-pointer dooms Michigan’s run at Final Four
By NEAL ROTHSCHILD Daily Sports Editor
INDIANAPOLIS — A team that had been surrounded by the aura of a special run lost out to a team making a special run of its own. A fadeaway 3-pointer by Aaron Harrison with 2.6 seconds remaining set it in stone. Tied 72-72, the Kentucky freshman launched a high arcing shot over Caris LeVert’s outstretched left arm that splashed through the net to keep the Michigan men’s basketball team from its second straight Final Four appearance. According to the sophomore guard, it was the type of shot Michigan (28-9 overall) wanted to force Kentucky into. The Wildcats didn’t get penetration,
and they didn’t get open. They relied on a miracle. If there were basketball gods, then they had decided that No. 8-seed Kentucky, a team that ran the gauntlet by beating the best teams the Midwest Regional had to offer, would get the glory. “There’s games that end right now where there’s officiating controversy or there’s some crazy thing that happened or your team just comes out and lays an egg,” said Michigan coach John Beilein. “That didn’t happen. It was an exciting basketball game. “I think everybody walked around here and said ‘College basketball is a wonderful sport, and I loved watching these two

teams play.’ ” The 75-72 loss brought the second-seeded Wolverines’ season that saw an outright Big Ten title and a second consecutive Elite Eight appearance to a close. Michigan’s frontcourt had finally met its match. The size of Texas couldn’t bring down the Wolverines and neither could the skill of Tennessee’s frontcourt. But the mix of size, skill and athleticism brought Kentucky (28-10) a big enough advantage that not even Nik Stauskas could compensate By DAILY WRITER See BASKETBALL, whoPage has this 3A position

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
By KRISTEN FEDOR Daily Staff Reporter
Due to four new official complaints filed over the course of the weekend, the final outcome of the March 26-27 Central Student Government elections may really be decided in hearings by the University Elections Commission Monday. Business senior Matt Fernandez, rep-manager for Make Michigan, filed complaints against three other parties. Make Michigan is suing FORUM, the Party Party and the House of Cards Party for alleged campaign finance violations. Additionally, Make Michigan filed a complaint against FORUM for allegedly using e-mail privileges irresponsibly. The three parties whose finances are in question will their final vote count reduced if found responsible for the violations. The suit against FORUM regarding alleged e-mail use violations could result in the disqualification of the entire party if the UEC agrees with Make Michigan’s claims. All members running with FORUM, including executive and legislative candidates, would be entirely removed from the election. LSA junior Domenic Rizzolo,

outreach co-director for FORUM, sent a campaigning e-mail on March 27 to the FORUM team and copied the CSG Executive Committee listserv. Since Rizzolo does not own this listerv, the suit alleges he is not prove authorized to use the listserv for communication regarding campaign materials. CSG President Michael Proppe, a business senior, and CSG Vice President Bobby Dishell, a Public Policy junior and Make Michigan’s presidential candidate, are the only two people with authority to use the listerv for campaigning purposes under the rules of the election code. Proppe and Dishell are listed as owners of the “csg.execs@umich.edu” listerv on the MCommunity online directory. Make Michigan argues that Rizzolo was working for the entire FORUM party since he also sent his e-mail to the “FORUM Captains” and “FORUM Representative Candidates 2014” listservs, both of which he owns. According to the provisions of the election code, two to four demerits are assigned per party per recipient of an e-mail deemed in violation of the code. If the UEC finds FORUM to be guilty of this major infraction, up to 28 demerits will be assigned to the party because seven recipients received the e-mail in question. The assignment of 28 demerits would result in immediate disqualification of the entire party. The election code states that if any party exceeds 10 demerits, See CSG, Page 3A

University alum Penn Greene was the first person to finish the marathon. A 2012 graduate from the School of Art & Design, he completed the 26.2 mile race in 2:48:07. Greene said the weather, although cold, was “beautiful” for the runners. “After running all winter in the snow and the slush, it was such a treat to run on a beautiful day like this,” Greene said. “But the trick is if you’re cold, run faster.” Greene, a graduate student at the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, added that Ann Arbor is a fantastic running venue. “It was such a treat to come back and run in Ann Arbor,” Greene said. “It was like coming
