Scavenging for awareness KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

Despite the chilly temperature and rainy day, the sixth annual Quest to Unravel Alzheimer Scavenger Hunt took place Friday. QUASH is an hour-long scavenger hunt that took place throughout campus requiring participants to do various challenges.

Anthony Peavy, junior communication major, experienced QUASH for the first time and acted as an emcee.

Peavy liked the overall goal of QUASH and how it raises awareness.

“QUASH helps raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer Associations.

It helps students grasp a better understanding of Alzheimer disease and how it affects the minds and bodies of those with the disease,” said Alicia Hinrickson, senior public relations major.

THEATER REVIEW

Funny as a crutch AUTUMN SEMPÉRÉ Theatre Critic

Playwright Rich Orloff ’s 2008 collection of short comedies, “Funny as a Crutch,” serves as the backbone for the UNI peer-led organization, Students Against a Violent Environment, production, “Funny As a Crutch And Other _______ Things.”

The most grounded scenes were those taken from Orloff, as they explored assumptions and stereotypes regarding disability and the treatment of people who are differently abled through parody and satire. They’re well designed to

introduce challenging criticisms in a creative, entertaining and digestible way.

“Just One of Those Things” brilliantly humanizes prejudice against people who are differently abled. A business executive, played by Spencer Schmidt, senior communication major, interviews a job applicant, played by Sade Butler, freshman graphic design major.

Butler’s character has an anthropomorphized disability referred to as a “thing,” played

by Bianca Zerwas, junior communication major.

Gleeful farewell JAKOB JEHN Staff Writer

Voices boomed from the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Art Center’s Great Hall Monday, April 20, as the University of Northern Iowa’s Men’s Varsity Glee Club performed their spring concert and Spotlight Series.

Directed by John Len Wiles, the event started with some old favorites of the Glee Club. The peaceful “Ave Maria,” by Franz Bieble featured a couple of soloists, one of which was Michael Gookin, junior music education major.

“I thought it [the concert] went really well,” Gookin said. “We really worked hard putting it together, and it turned out to be a great night.”

Gookin also highlighted that the seniors of the Glee Club “paved the way” for the newer members, and he thanked them for that.

The next musical selections of the concert were arranged by Alice Parker, who visited UNI a few weeks ago. The Glee Club performed Parker’s “Avenging the Bright,” and the bouncy, booming, “Whup Jamboree.”

After Parker’s pieces, a group of Glee Club members stepped down and formed a smaller ensemble called Camerata, led by senior

Students for a debt-free college JOSIE ROBERTSON Staff Writer

Students, faculty and community members came together Wednesday to call on 2016 presidential candidates to support the concept of debt-free college at public institutions across the nation.

The event was organized by the Americans for Democratic Action and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

Speakers included: Americans for Democratic Action members and

Joe Gorton, American Association of University Professors UNI chapter president.

Gorton noted that one of the causes of student debt is excessive spending on administrative issues, along with other misallocated priorities at public institutions of higher education.

Logun Buckley, junior public relations major and UNI chapter president of Americans for Democratic Action, spoke at the conference saying higher education should not only be affordable, but free.

Promoting body positivity BROOKE WIESE Staff Writer

Last Wednesday, a small group of students went out of their way to promote a positive self-image around campus.

In this group of students was senior communications major Andrea Thoene.

Thoene said that Pawsitive Panthers was part of a project for a class, where they had to perform some type of group change on campus.

“We have different groups doing different things, but we decided that we wanted to tackle self image and promote a positive image on campus so people feel better about themselves,” Thoene said.

As students walked through the doors of Maucker Union, participants complimented each student while handing out a flyer.

The flyer featured a word search containing words such as “positive” and “love,” encouraging the students to share the love and “pawsitivity” with their fellow classmates. The other side of the flyer featured information on how to spread the positivity and “compliment bomb”

Along with “compliment bombing,” several notes scattered around campus were filled with positive messages designed to make people smile and feel good about themselves.

“We had to choose something that was relevant to society today. We decided that one thing that is a huge hindrance on society is people’s self image and how a lot of people have poor self image,” said Spencer Schmidt, senior electronic media major.

Schmidt talked about how many people think it’s necessary to go out of their ways to feel beautiful. Schmidt believes it’s unnecessary, because everyone is beautiful in their own way. Schmidt hopes this project can show people this.

The group behind Pawsitive Panthers can only hope that people will take their message to heart and spread it in the future. If people can do that, perhaps the group will have made a difference in several people’s lives.

Campbell, mother of one of the Glee Club members, commented on the brotherhood of the Glee Club.

2. Slow down — Don’t worry about others finishing earlier than you. Take the time YOU need.

3. Get enough sleep — Cramming can lead to a superficial and confused knowledge of the material.

4. Make time for “renewing” activities — This is NOT the time to stop exercising or doing other things you find enjoyable. Pace yourself!

“College debt holds students back and penalizes them,” Williams said, especially for those who come from lower middle class families such as himself.

Buckley believes students need to become aware of their potential debt and not continue to accept it.

OPINION EDITOR ROUSEAAB@UNI.EDU

VOLUME 111, ISSUE 53

Get the bang for your college buck ERIC BOISEN boisen @uni.edu

Every senior about to graduate thinks about the mark they have left on campus, wondering how their experiences will help them in the real world, and if college was worth the price.

There are many things I have learned in my four years here at UNI that I would have loved to have known earlier. It took me four years just to find my favorite place to study! Hopefully I can give you some advice to making your remaining time at UNI the best it can be.

I have always heard that it’s your involvement in college, not your major or GPA, that determines your success once you graduate. Unless you have a very niche major, like actuarial science, your major alone won’t correlate to success once you graduate.

According to an article from Quartz, graduates feel college was worth it if they did/had these six things: 1. A professor who made

In order to succeed [in college], you need to put in the time outside of class. Get your hands dirty, find something that you’re passionate about and work on it. them excited about learning 2. Professors who cared about them as a person 3. A mentor who encouraged them to pursue their goals and dreams 4. Worked on a long-term project 5. Had a job or internship where they applied what they were learning 6.

Were extremely involved in extracurricular activities (Busteed 2015, Quartz) This is very important; college is not worth it if you just go to college. You must also experience college.

You must take part in things

other than class in order to feel that those tens of thousands of dollars you spend will be worth it.

In my four years here, I have been lucky enough to have these six things, but not everyone does. There are many students or graduates who feel like they had none of them. This hurts university retention and makes students feel as though college was a waste. According to the Quartz article, 82 percent of graduates who had these six things felt that “college prepared them for life after school,” while only 5 percent of graduates who did not have these things felt the same way.

“Eric, what two of these six do you feel is more important?”

That’s a great question!

I’m glad you asked! To me, numbers four and six are the most important. First, if you are working on a long term project, or are heavily involved in an extracurricular activity, chances are you will have an advisor who will work closely with you to help you achieve your goals, thus accomplishing number three. If you are studying

Dear Library, I’m going to be around a lot this week. You’re probably going to get sick of me, and just a heads up, I probably won’t look that great. I won’t be getting a lot of sleep, so I’m sorry if I take a lot of naps on your desks. I promise you’re not boring me. Thanks for having so many couches and chairs, by the way. They are perfect sleeping spots, and your long hallways are great walking places to interrupt the monotony of writing.

Dear Coffee, You are my one true love.

Food of the gods. My life’s blood. The reason I get up in the morning. You always have my back. Personally, I think you’re the best at Cup of Joe and Sidecar, but Starbucks has been treating you pretty well lately.

Dear Macbook Pro, Both of us aren’t going to get a lot of sleep this week, but please, please, please, do not crash on me, even if I have to every couple of days.

I’m counting on you to keep my papers and projects safe.

Thanks for keeping track of my music and keeping me distracted when I need a break.

You are the best.

Dear Bed, I will miss you so much. If I had my way, I would never leave you. You are the reason (along with the sun) I hate mornings so much. You are just too comfortable. I envy my cat getting to spend so much time with you. After finals, I promise we will spend a lot of time together. How about a movie date?

Dear Netflix, I’m not abandoning you.

You are just too darn distracting.

Dear People I Encounter This Week, I should wear it every day as a warning, but in case I forget to wear my “Speak Softly and Slowly to the Person Wearing This” shirt, please speak softly and slowly. I’m running on three hours of sleep and three times as many cups of coffee. I have no idea what a proper meal looks like anymore, and don’t even ask me when I last brushed my hair. I have lost my ability to focus, so don’t be offended if I lose track of our conversation, and if I stare blankly at the coffee menu, just assume the worst and give me two double shots of espresso.

Don’t ask me how my week is going (my eye will probably start twitching), and don’t under any circumstance ask me what I’m doing after graduation (I will probably start hyperventilating).

Thanks for being so accommodating and lovely in advance!

P.S. If you see me on campus, remember the “Speak Softly and Slowly” rule. I have been known to jump and

Editor’s Note: According to NI records, on April 8, NISG passed a resolution 10-3 (with four abstaining) in support of decriminallizing marijuana in Cedar Falls.

The resolution aims at combatting the racial discrimmination that exists in marijuana enforcement in Iowa, according to a 2013 study by the American Civil Liberties Union. The Northern Iowan staff would like to provide you with further insight into this issue from former NI opinion columnist, Nehemiah Nelson.

Decriminalization of weed affects racial justice Nehemiah Nelson nelsonaf @uni.edu

Weed has become a burning issue in the United States.

Colorado and Washington blazed the way for weed with statewide legalization.

President Obama publicly admitted to smoking in his early adult life, as did many other politicians. The Core Alcohol and Drug Survey reported that 31.3 percent of college students nationwide have used marijuana in the past year — nearly one in three.

If you’re looking for an article to sway you for or against the legalization of marijuana, I suggest you search elsewhere. Instead, I

A study by the American Civil Liberties Union tells us that African-Americans are two to seven times more likely to be arrested for pot-related charges than white people who uses the same amount of pot ... intend to examine who marijuana enforcement laws and legalization efforts affect and how these laws serve the hegemonic population.

Anything more than a cursory glance into weed

enforcement laws reveals people of color or lower class status are targeted for pot-related charges the most often. A study by the American Civil Liberties Union tells us that AfricanAmericans are two to seven times more likely to be arrested for pot-related charges than white people who use the same amount of pot, a sobering statistic.

The increased likelihood of people of color being arrested on drug-related charges — illustrated by racially-charged laws such as New York’s notorious stop-and-frisk procedure — demonstrates a fundamentally racist dynamic in our country’s consideration of drugs that is often overlooked.

However, the legalization and decriminalization of

marijuana receives special attention because it marks the lone junction of our nation’s perception of drug users with the desire of white middle class citizens to use drugs.

Organizations working for the legalization of marijuana, such as NORML, casually dismiss the racial injustice that results from draconian enforcement of marijuana laws. Perhaps part of the unconcerned attitude comes from the homogenous composition of such groups. Until these organizations make racial justice a priority, they will continue to prolong prejudiced practices.

One possible outcome of the legalization of marijuana is that high prices at dispensaries could still adversely affect marginal-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Better drinking at CSBS conference Dr. Cameron Weaver presented at this year’s college of social and behavioral sciences conference (located in the Sabin auditorium) on the strategies for a better drinking experience for college-aged students and the surrounding communities. During his presentation, Dr. Weaver alluded to the fact that, even in his relative youth, he was far removed from the technology and the culture of college-life and did not hesitate to make fun of himself for his social ineptitude amongst his younger listeners Dr. Weaver started his presentation by stating that his research isn’t promoting a completely abstinent lifestyle when it comes to the enjoyment of adult beverages, but, rather, a guide for helping those who partake in these activities to be able to enjoy themselves more and attempt to regulate their behavior to avoid what are known as alcohol misuse instances during what he referred to as “drinking episodes.”

Dr. Weaver didn’t pretend to know all of the answers to explain what he found, but he was honest enough to understand that the point of research isn’t necessarily to find all of the answers but

to look into an unknown and dig deeper into the well of knowledge, possibly finding more answers along the way.

While his speaking style was light and easy to listen to, there was plenty of evidence that his research had hard-hitting facts and ideas that can truly be applied to the everyday life of a college student.

There were some fantastic questions that were asked at the end of the presentation, and Dr. Weaver answered (almost) all with accuracy and confidence that his research backed him up. One topic that he noted after his main presentation was that of the tendency for younger college students, especially incoming freshmen, to express more excitement for over-drinking and the propensity to have an alcohol-related incident.

Dr. Weaver explained that one reason for this is the culture that the students are raised in.

Neither he, nor I, are stating that parents are to blame for these tendencies, but rather that the culture these students are expected to be a part of is one of having a lot of fun; and alcohol, being an easy substance to obtain, is an activity that the culture requires students to partake in in order to be “part of the

crowd.” Now, I’m not a good enough journalist (or one at all) to expect you to think these are quotes, but this is the general message that Dr. Weaver was trying to get across, as I understood it.

There were great ideas that Dr. Weaver gave for the prevention of alcohol-related negative occurrences, none of which (except in extreme cases) was the pushing of an intervention-like confrontation with the user. In fact, Dr. Weaver gave examples of exactly why this approach seems to not work at all.

When you confront someone in this manner, they tend to “dig in their heels” and resist all forms of advice that come from these interventions and continue, sometimes even increasing, their substanceuse tendencies. Instead, Dr. Weaver used his research and gave ideas on how to create an environment for yourself to enjoy your time and not run into the issues associated with the over-indulging of alcohol.

For example: avoiding drinking games was an idea given to prevent the almost inevitable instance of overindulging among college students. This, I feel, is a great idea, not only for the sake of preventing drinking by sheer volume, but also in

the research-based fact that those with a competitive personality tend to play these games more for the victory than for the drinking, and this can cause them to not pay attention to the amount of drinking they’re doing, allowing them to overindulge without even realizing it, in some cases.

Dr. Weaver used many different presentation skills during his speech, using his lack of relatability as a way to relate to the audience.

From my perspective in the back of the auditorium, I noticed a wide range of audience members from students, like myself, to professors, other psychologists/psychiatrists and even some citizens of, let’s call it, considerable life experience.

This was an amazing thing to observe as it shows the interest this community has in the social sciences and what they mean to society.

In my limited experience in this field, I have tried to be as involved as possible, and attending this event not only allowed me to gain credit towards my Psychology 1001 class, but it made me a better social scientist, nay, a better person as a whole.

-T. William Ingham, psychology major at the University of Northern Iowa

ized people who earn lower incomes due to institutionalized racism. According to jour nalists Neill Franklin and Shaleen Title, Colorado’s recent decriminalization laws are better for people of color because they not only decriminalize the expensive pot sold at dispensaries, but possession of any bud.

This law addresses the possibility of imbalanced protection of privileged populations over marginalized groups. As other states, like Maryland, continue to discuss reforming marijuana laws, our nation must consider the racial impact our laws may have.

Whether you want to bake or ban, keep in mind what your personal politics about drug usage say about racial injustice.

So, in my final words in the Northern Iowan before graduation, I would like to tell you that your college career is up to you to decide.

College is a fantastic time to make connections and set yourself on a path towards success. In order to succeed, you need to put in time outside of class.

FILM REVIEW

Date night flick hits the screen JOSHUA ROUSE

Film Critic

What would you do if you could live forever? “Age of Adaline” ponders this question, telling the story of Adaline (Blake Lively) who was born in the early 1900’s, and a freak accident causes her body to stop aging on her 29th birthday, thus making her immortal.

She spends the next 80 years running from place to place, changing identities and never letting anyone get emotionally close to her. But that all changes when a certain someone steps into her life.

The cinematography was an absolute treat for the eyes.

The colors of the costumes and scenery were rich, deep hues, and this was complimented by steady camerawork.

Transitions between the past and present were flawless, with the colors of the costumes and scenery muted to fit the earlier times. “Adaline” is, aesthetically, a gorgeous movie. If only

are still things to enjoy about this film, besides how pretty it looks.

All of the actors and actresses give charming performances. Lively does an excellent job as the titular character, presenting the wit and wisdom of someone who’s lived over 80 years. The chemistry between Lively and Michiel Huisman (Ellis) as her love interest fits the bill for a romance movie such as this. Harrison Ford (William) and Ellen Burstyn (Flemming) give great performances as a supporting cast, helping to ground the story as people who have experienced the natural flow of time and life.

Overall, “Age of Adaline” is an alright movie. It’s not terrible, but it’s not amazing. It makes for a good date movie with plenty of romance and magical realism to fill two hours.

She desperately searches for a fitting stereotype for Dale, played by Schmidt, a new job applicant who happens to also have a disability.

When Schmidt fails to fit into any of the common media stereotypes of people who are differently abled that Buchanan throws at him, she creates a new one to force onto him: extraordinarily ordinary.

It’s incredible how much depth exists within these two scenes. Orloff doesn’t bash the audience over the head with what he wants to say.

Four actresses perform on stage. “Funny As A Crutch and Other _______ Things” took place on April 16, 17 and 18.

Instead, he very cleverly weaves it all together within unconventionally funny scenarios.

The same brilliance lies within the writing of “All That He Can Be.” Unfortunately, it is presented within “Funny As A Crutch and Other _______ Things” as a short film with truly atrocious cinematography by Peter Seifert, communication graduate student.

The choices made in its presentation — from consistent lack of focus to constant pans to character’s crotches — are truly mind boggling.

Sprinkled between Orloff ’s works are twelve skits, poems

and interactive scenarios adapted from poetry collections and literature that are thoughtfully performed, yet fail to maintain either tone or theme.

Yes, everything presented centers on disability, and usually from the perspective of the person who is differently abled. However, disability is more of the topic of “Funny As a Crutch and Other _______ Things,” rather than its theme.

The tone is so inconsistent, shifting each scene from satirical to serious to silly to solemn throughout the entire production, nearly anything

that mentions disability or ableism could be included without notice.

It’s disappointing that “Funny As a Crutch And Other _______ Things” is so fragmented. There’s a lot of good in it. Most of the skits and poems are beautiful individually, and the presentation itself is well polished.

It’s difficult to discern what SAVE is trying to accomplish with “Funny As a Crutch And Other _______ Things,” but it does serve as an ambitious project that acknowledges that people who are differently abled exist and deserve to be heard.

QUASH

continued from page 1

“Ever y 67 seconds, someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer disease.

So there are very high chances that everyone knows someone who has been affected by the disease.”

Why bring an event like this to the college community?

“It gets people involved and brings people together to raise awareness for certain situations,” said Shyanne Nelson, junior

actuarial science major.

For Peavy, it was an opportunity to spread awareness about the cause.

He hoped that participants would “realize why they’re here.”

“A lot of them are coming for fun, but I want them to take away the fact that they are here for a cause, not just to have fun but to raise money for this, and having fun is just icing on the cake really,” Peavy said.

Teams had themes to their outfits, such as “The Wizard of Oz” or Power Rangers. Others kept it sim-

ple with sparkly tutus.

Kelsey Chapman, senior elementary education major, came with a large group from the Wesley Foundation.

Their group dressed in “Wizard of Oz” themed costumes for the event, but it wasn’t just about the creative team representation.

“I feel like in college we worry a lot about ourselves, and it’s just a way for us to think about others and to help others,” Chapman said.

This was Chapman’s first year participating in QUASH. She thought the event would be something new and fun that she could do on campus.

Because the disease affects both the mind and

body, six challenges, or QUASHspots, were both mentally challenging, like finding a number on a wall while blindfolded, and physically challenging, like balancing a tennis ball using fishing wire attached to a washer.

There are opportunities for students to continue spreading awareness through Cedar Falls’ Alzheimer Association, which holds the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

Peavy suggested simply remembering QUASH and telling others about the cause.

“I think . . . it’s not stopping here after this event’s over to keep raising aware-

ness, keep telling people about what they did today, get more people involved and spread the word and make the numbers even bigger next year,” Peavy said.

“I hope those who are helping us plan the event take away the knowledge that even the small things they are doing make a difference . . . without them we would not be able to help raise money for the Alzheimer Association,“ Hinrickson said.

The overall winning team for this year’s QUASH was team Can’t Stop/Won’t Stop. Proceeds raised went to the Alzheimer Association for care, support and research.

Drake Relays success

UNI breaks more records, rises in MVC ranks ZACH HUNTLEY Sports Writer

The Panther’s track and field team traveled to Des Moines this past week, April 22-25, to compete in the Drake Relays. This meet rises in popularity every year and gathers ranked teams from multiple conferences into one event. UNI earned a number of personal records on top of rising in their overall ranks in the MVC conference.

Starting off the meet Wednesday with decathlon and heptathlon preliminaries, the Panthers started strong, directing their momentum towards the finals competition.

Freshman Derek Jacobus made his mark on his first collegiate Drake Relay

In the women’s heptathlon, Rachel Peth earned her PR with 4,864 total points. With her added PR’s in long jump and javelin throw, Peth is now ranked second in the MVC. Tr ansitio ning int o Friday’s events, Lady Panther Alex Wilson continued to improve in the 1,500. Not only did her 4:20.49 time place her third overall in the relays, she increased her lead in the MVC, scoring seven seconds faster than her nearest competitor.

UNI drops two of three against Lady Bears BRANDON TJEPKES Sports Writer

The UNI softball team traveled to Missouri to play the Missouri State Bears.

The Panthers won the first game, 15-8, but dropped the second game, 3-4.

Kristin Lock scored first for the Panthers in the second inning, with a single home run to gain an early 1-0 lead. Rikki Alcaraz hit another homer in the third to score three runs batted in. The Bears answered back with a homerun of their own to cut the

Panther lead, 4-2.

Micalla Rettinger added on to the lead with a single to center field to score Julia Hunter.

The Panthers were able to triple their score in the sixth and seventh innings.

Samantha Olson scored off a Rettinger single.

Kennedy Bailey sacrificed a fly ball over center field to score Rettinger. Macey Wolfe was able to reach the bases from an error to score Alcaraz and Lock.

Finally, Julia Hunter singled up the middle to score Chelsea Ross to end the

sixth inning, 10-2.

The Bears added two homeruns in the bottom of the sixth to cut into the Panther lead, making it 10-4.

Two Panther homeruns added to the huge lead.

Bailey homered to left field to score Lock and Caitlin Wnek. Wolfe homered over right field to score Ross.

The Bears added four more runs, but it was not enough as the Panthers won, 15-8.

The Bears gained the early lead of game two, but Bailey added another homer to tie it, 1-1. No

FROM THE EDITOR: A RE-CAP

NBA playoffs update

In the midst of the first round of the postseason, game four between playoff teams took place this weekend. So far the playoffs have not disappointed in the slightest. Double overtime periods, buzzer beaters, and players single-handedly taking over games have already taken place. And this is still just the beginning. Let’s take a look at how the first round has played out so far.

(1)Atlanta Hawks Vs. (8) Brooklyn Nets Currently, the best team in the East has lost some momentum. Although the Hawks still lead the series 2-1, an offensive collapse during the first game in Brooklyn is concerning after a 91-83 loss. To top it off, the Nets reached a new level of play in the win after losing their star point guard, Deron Williams, to injuries shortly after halftime. Williams has received serious criticism over his lack of performance in the first two games, barely making an impact.

The Nets overwhelmed the Hawks defensively, holding them to 35 percent shooting and only 20 percent from downtown. Kyle Korver, sharpshooter for the Hawks, made only one basket of eight shots in the game. Game four tonight will prove critical as the Hawks try to regain their offensive composure, while Brooklyn defends its home advantage, possibly without Williams (which may be a blessing in disguise).

(2) Cavaliers vs. Celtics The Cavs won the series yesterday in convincing fashion after a four game sweep.

Even though the Celtics weren’t able to come out with a win, they gave Cleveland all they could handle. In a match up with the odds stacked against them, Boston played their hearts out in a very physical and entertaining series.

Flagrant fouls, ejections and altercations became a common

SOFTBALL

continued from page 8

The eleven-inning game ended with a game-winning single from Missouri State.

Missouri State gained the early 2-0 lead on Sunday from a triple and a sacrifice fly ball. Rettinger answered with a single in the third inning that scored Olson and Hunter for the 2-2 tie. The Panthers gained a 4-2 lead with a Wolfe homerun that scored Ross in the fourth inning.

The Bears added two home runs in the fourth and fifth innings that scored two runs each to gain the game-ending score, 6-4.

The Bulls had an abysmal game offensively committing a historical 28 turnovers while the Bucks bench scored 34 more points than Chicago’s.

occurrence. As the Cavaliers prepare to play either the Bucks or Bulls, they may do so without Kevin Love, who got his shoulder dislocated by Kelly Olynyk on a questionable play for the ball in yesterday’s game.

(3) Bulls vs. (6) Bucks After winning three straight, the Bulls fell hard on a game four loss in Milwaukee Saturday, unable to complete the four game sweep of the Bucks losing, 92-90. The Bulls had an abysmal game offensively committing a historical 28 turnovers while the Bucks bench scored 34 more points than Chicago’s. During the series, Derrick Rose was finally playing at the high level Chicago is used to seeing until the final minute of regulation.

On the Bull’s last possession, Rose lost the ball while driving for what might have been a series ending lay up.

With one second left, the Bucks once again took advantage of Rose, who was out of position, to put up a buzzer-beating basket. Game five returns to Chicago where the Bulls try to end the resilient Bucks’ hopes and face Midwest rival Cleveland.

(1) Warriors vs. (8) Pelicans The best team in the NBA looked as such during the first series as they swept New Orleans in easy fashion.

Anthony Davis and company were simply unable to find an answer against the Warriors on either side of the court.

Having said that, Davis’ performance was nothing short The Panthers come back home on Tuesday to play Neb. at 5 p.m.

IT’S GOING, GOING, GONE!

In the three games against Missouri State, there was a total of 14 home runs that flew over the fence. Of those, 8 came from UNI.

of spectacular.

The 22-year-old phenomenon averaged over 30 points in the series. There is a lot of promise for him in New Orleans going forward. The series altogether looked like it was in Golden State’s control.

Some how, Steph Curry and the Warriors are only getting better with time.

Whether they were playing from behind, maintain a lead or fighting neck in neck, Curry was there with a physics bending 3-point shot. They have been on a roll all season and are still looking for someone to try and stop them. The Warriors face to face either Portland or Memphis in the next round.

(4) Raptors vs. (5) Wizards Unfortunately for Toronto, their post-season dreams once again came to an end at the hands of Paul Pierce.

Washington D.C.’s win last night capped another four game sweep. Youth and inexperience proved fatal for Kyle Lowry and company. The pressure on Lowry to lead the Raptors could easily be seen, as MIKE DUNLOP/Northern Iowan

he was ineffective for most of the series. It seemed as though whenever Toronto showed enough fight to bring home a win, Paul Pierce, in almost Yoda-like fashion, used his years of experience to drain a critical basket and force the game into the Wizards favor.

With the win, Paul Pierce, John Wall and the Wizards prepare for either Atlanta or Brooklyn in round two.

(2) Clippers vs. (6) Spurs This match up has easily turned into the most interesting series of the first round.

Los Angeles and San Antonio are two super powers on opposite sides of the basketball spectrum. With a spectacular 34-point performance by Chris Paul in game four, he willed LA back onto even terms.

The game included 18 different lead changes as each side refused to back down.

With the series going back and forth with two wins apiece, it’s a toss up who will come out on top and everyone is on the edge of their seats waiting to see what happens next. Rivers vs. Popovich,

Blake Griffin and Chris Paul vs. Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. Kawhi Leonard vs.

DeAndre Jordan. This series will definitely be one for the books.

(3) Blazers vs. (5) Grizzlies Damian Lillard and company are hanging on for dear life as they head into game four against the Memphis Grizzlies in a 3-0 hole. The series has shown that everything that could’ve gone wrong for Portland pretty much has.

After being leveled by injuries, the Trailblazers offense has been a shell of what it was during the regualr season. Damian Lillard has fallen victim to the brick wall that is the Memphis defense, unable to influence any of the three first games. “Rip City” almost snatched a win in game three.

They had momentum, the lead and the home crowd going ballistic behind them. But like the course of the series things took a turn for the worse.

Memphis will look to complete the sweep tonight face the Golden State Warriors in Round 2.
