The issue of global hunger hit home for University of Northern Iowa community members who attended the Oxfam Hunger Banquet on March 9. Organized by the Political Science Society, the event brought approximately 30 people of various ages to the Old Central Ballroom for a real experience on how hunger affects the world. “It opened my eyes as to what is going on as far as poverty,” said Brandon Pabst, junior political science major. Participants received one of three different cards assigning them to either a high, low or middle income level. Those with low income sat on the floor, those with middle sat on chairs and those with high income sat at formal < See BANQUET, page 2

The high income group was served a three-course meal. Attendees learned that 15 percent of the world is highincome. When a person or family is considered to have high income, basic needs are met and they have full access to education. Meanwhile, 35 percent of the world is considered middle-income, which means they make about minimum wage or less, do not have easy access to education and struggle somewhat to meet basic needs. The majority of the world is considered low-income, as more than 50 percent of individuals struggle daily just to meet the basic needs of food and water. Education is scarce and many in the low income level die due to a lack of

nutrition. The statistics surprised many of the event’s attendees. “It was interesting to see exactly what middle income is and how high the percentage the low income is,” Pabst said. Taylor Reed, freshman elementary education and early childhood education double major, agreed with Pabst. “It was a surprise to me what low-income poverty entails,” Reed said. For the event itself, Reed said, “It was very well put together. I wish more people would have known about the event. I feel that every person could have benefited from this.” This was the second year PSS put on the event.

putting on the Oxfam Hunger Banquet. Hurst took the reins of the event this year, and wanted to make the event a bigger production than last year’s. She hoped participants learned more about the issue as part of Saturday’s exercise. “I wanted everyone to have their eyes opened to food disparities around the world,” Hurst said. “I think it’s important that people understand that there are children who are dying and starving every single day, and people in our own communities don’t have enough to eat and we just completely overlook it. “And so hopefully people will realize these things and will want to make a difference. I think it is sad that we have enough food to feed everyone but we don’t,” Hurst said.

Teachers need to understand Generation Why
We should all be pro-life DAVID POPE

THINKSTOCK
My husband, a high school math teacher, introduced an interesting concept to me. While discussing Generation X versus Generation Y and Z, a new label was introduced for the latter: the generation of expectation. We live in a high-speed, instant gratification world. Within seconds we can find the answers to our questions or new ideas about our world, and communicate with friends living halfway across the country or across the street. With this power at our fingertips, each generation has better, faster access to information and knowledge. And this instant access has given birth to a generation who expects instant gratification with minimal effort put forth on their part. So what does that mean for us as future educators and parents?

means a whole new way of thinking about learning. While I don’t necessarily agree with children learning through instant gratification with constant exposure to technology, the fact is that it’s not up to me. Our world is continuously changing – getting better, faster and more efficient. My son will grow up in that world and I will teach in that world. The only thing I can do is adapt to my environment and teach both my son and future students to become well-informed, active contributing members of
that society. So are learners really that much different today than our parents’ generation? Let’s consider, for a minute, the layout of a traditional classroom. You have the teacher front and center with students in straight, forward-facing rows. And you have the teacher lecturing at the chalkboard. This is a one-size-fits-all education style. There is minimal use of technology and only one of many learning styles is addressed. Students are provided with information and expected to memorize that information for an exam. This system creates “educated” robots who haven’t learned content in depth but have instead only < See VALUES, page 4 MCT CAMPUS
Envision a dark, dystopian future in which your overreaching government mandates that you carry a developing life form in your gut. You must feed it of your own flesh and blood, for it will grow from your body. Whether or not you want this developing life form to grow inside of you, it is illegal not to let it. Even if you become sick as a result of the creature sucking nutrients from your body or become physically endangered by its presence, it must remain inside you for the better part of a year until finally the government orders you to pay a team of specialists to remove it from your body. What you have just pictured was not fiction. It is the United States if we continue down our current path of scaling back the civil rights of women to their own bodies – namely, their right to choose abortion. Abortion has become the bogeyman of American politics. Rights long ago assured in other Western democracies remain at risk here in the United States. While looking back for Women’s History Month, women’s rights look more like a plateau in this country than a steady upward slope of progress. If women are not even owners of their own bodies – if they cannot decide when, and how, and with whom to reproduce – then all of their other rights are forfeit. If women do not have power over their own flesh and blood, then they can have no true power. If the government can dictate and regulate that most intimate of places (the inside of a woman’s body) then there is no place safe from the government’s tyranny. To be forced by the threat of violence to perform labor is slavery. For women to be forced to give birth against their will is for women to be enslaved. I have male privilege, and it is important for me to speak up with my voice and let others know: It is not up to me. It is not up to men. Women must have the choice. Pro-life folks mean well. Pro-lifers honestly believe that to ban abortion will save lives and better our world. They deserve respect for wanting to protect life. But pro-lifers are wrong, because they don’t realize what’s really at stake. It isn’t only the futures of fetuses. Women’s control over their own bodies is at stake – as is our ability as humans to control our own destinies. Pro-life folks make two critical mistakes in their quest for a better world. The first is trusting that conservative politicians truly wish to protect life. Let’s face it – you’re being hoodwinked if you believe the Republican Party is truly concerned with life. The Republican Party is overwhelmingly pro-war (John McCain’s bombbomb-bomb-bomb Iran comment as the 2008 Republican nominee is only one < See PRO-LIFE, page 5

skimmed the surface. This style breeds learners who have no real knowledge about the world or how to actively engage in it. According to an e-article published by Jane Hart on Learning Solutions, learners’ views and attitudes towards work have shifted from “living to work” to “working to live.” This presents a huge gap between the generations as Generations Y and Z have never experienced economic hardship akin to that of the Great Depression and, therefore, do not fear unemployment. These generations have expectations that their jobs (and educations) will be rewarding yet flexible. These are the generations of change agents. They do not accept status quo but bend their world to meet their individual needs. Don Tapscott, in his book “Grown Up Digital,” argues that students “prize freedom and freedom of choice. They want to customize things, make them their own. They’re natural collaborators, who enjoy a conversation, not a lecture.” This generation demands integrity. Respect is no longer an assumption but something you prove you deserve. Each action and opinion is scrutinized for credibility and interpreted by young minds that understand a great deal more than we give them credit for. These learners indeed can
make difficult decisions on the spot and can conceptualize things in innovative ways. But nobody is motivated by boredom. And this is why teaching methods must change to meet the needs of our learners. An instructor of mine just the other day mentioned that our students are failing. They are unmotivated and lazy — unwilling to put in the time and effort into their own education. As a pre-service teacher, I can understand where she is coming from. However, I see that as a challenge — an opportunity. If students aren’t engaged, what can I do as their teacher to engage them? While I don’t completely disregard learner apathy, I personally see this more as a teacher problem and not a student problem. And this problem stems from the generation gap between teacher and learner. Each generation has its own value system that the other generations either don’t seem to understand or fear as the culture of our country shifts to meet the needs and demands of the newest generation. Students don’t have the same value systems as their teachers, but many teachers make the incorrect assumption that they do. It’s time for a new generation of teachers and thinkers and it’s time to engage students at their level and value systems — not our own. Heather Nicholson is a senior

able by law. No one is pro-abortion. We would all prefer that no woman ever be in the position to have to make that choice. But that certainly doesn’t mean that the best way to end abortion is to make it illegal. Unwanted pregnancy results from a lack of sexual education, a lack of access to contraception and many other factors, including poverty. If your goal is to truly end abortion, your efforts should be spent fighting for women’s rights to health care, education and economic security, not fighting to take away their
rights to their own bodies. To ban abortion is to send it undercover, making it even more dangerous for women, and to not address the root causes of unwanted pregnancy. To ban abortion is to enslave women’s bodies. To ban abortion is to state that no place is sacred from the reach of the government. To be truly pro-life, we must fight for a woman’s right to choose.

FILM REVIEW
‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ leaves much to be desired compared to its classic predecessor PAUL LICHTY Film Critic
Making a film like “Oz the Great and Powerful” is a task that’s incredibly hard to pull off from an artistic standpoint. It revisits an enduring tale that so many people are familiar with, and it is the director’s job to make a film that is good enough to stand alone and not constantly remind the viewer of how much better the original is. Let’s get real – there is no way “Oz the Great and Powerful” can stand a chance against the original “The Wizard of Oz,” and therefore the viewer’s standards for the new film are sky-high. It’s a big task for director Sam Raimi, a task he did not accomplish from the standpoint of a serious artist or filmmaker. Raimi’s film is a prequel to the 1939 classic. Oz (James Franco) is an unethical circus magician who is hurled away from Kansas (via tornado) to the land of Oz. There he learns of a prophecy that states he is the wizard who will rule Oz and all its glory. He sees this as an opportunity to become rich and famous, which is all he ever wanted as a circus magician. He soon meets two witches,

Theodora (Mila Kunis) and Evanora (Rachel Weisz), who aren’t convinced that he is the great wizard everyone is expecting and who will stop at nothing to prevent him from taking over. Michelle Williams plays Glinda, the good witch, who sees the good in Oz and convinces him to stay and lead her people so they can defeat Theodora and Evanora and bring peace to Oz. While the film’s themes are admirable and certain scenes definitely have a lot of heart, the film suffers from two core problems that prevent
CAB
me from being able to recommend it: the acting and the compter-generated imagery. Let’s start with Franco. He has given some fine performances in the past, but he is miscast in the central role. He feels incredibly out of place and uncomfortable in just about every scene, and the performance just comes across as lazy. Also, his part eventually requires him to be sincere and sympathetic, and his perceived disinterest in the role and movie make it impossible for us to feel that way toward him.
Kunis is also out of place. her attempt at acting menacing and vengeful comes off as awkward and desperate. Lastly, Williams doesn’t even come close to capturing the heavenlike quality of her character. She is unusually bland and unconvincing as Glinda. The only major player in the film that brings the right amount of edge to her character is Weisz. But most importantly, what is lacking in “Oz” is the magic. Every single image that is familiar to us has been completely digitalized in the new film, and that’s the main reason why the magic is lost. Everything looks so fake and computerized that one can’t help but be reminded of the visual flair of the original film and how much more impressive it was for a film made in 1939. Even the characters that eventually tag along with Oz on his journey, a monkey named Finley (voiced by Zach Braff) and a china doll (Joey King), are computer-animated. There isn’t anything unique about these characters. Most of the time they strive to be nothing more than cute. One can’t help but be constantly reminded of how much better the < See OZ, page 7

UNISTA celebrates tradition, Campus Activities Board creates spring break getaway brings back ‘Broadway’ MEGAN SCHAFER Staff Writer
Normally, on a Thursday during midterms, students find themselves under mounds of stress and textbooks, but the students in the University of Northern Iowa’s Maucker Union on March 7 were treated to a minispring break, courtesy of the Campus Activities Board. Like any good spring break party, the event featured food and fun, but perhaps what students were most excited about was the live music from the band The Pork Tornadoes. According to Wendy Grimm, freshman public relations major, “This is one of the neater events CAB has had. The Pork Tornados is one of my favorite cover bands so I’m really excited that they’re here.” Stephanie Kadlec, freshman performing arts management major, agreed. “They are really cool guys and it’s cool to see them live for free because usually you have to pay like $7 and wait out in line in the freezing cold and it really sucks. It’s cool to see them here,” said Kadlec. “They’re really chill. When they’re on stage at the HuB they’re a little crazier and their songs are more
hardcore.” The Pork Tornadoes band member Brent Estlund agreed that Thursday’s venue was different from their normal shows. “Different is a good way to put it,” he said. “We’re used to a bit more rowdy environment, but that’s ok. As long as people are here, we like to play. It doesn’t matter, but yeah, it’s a little different.” The Pork Tornadoes usually play once or twice a month at The Hub on Main Street, which was affectionately described by Estlund. “(At the HuB) we’ve got a great following and that is our home away from home. We like playing anywhere, but we’re used to a more rock environment, but it’s all good. They fed us pizza here, and once they feed you pizza, you have to play, right?” Estlund joked. Cassie Keenan, senior public relations major and CAB member, commented on the event as it was winding down. “We do a lot of themed events and we’re trying to think outside the box. We do a lot of things like game night or craft night, so we’re trying to get outside of our normal box,” said < See SPRING, page 7

Ten minutes may not seem like a lot of time, but University of Northern Iowa theater students proved that it is long enough to perform an entire play. The UNI Student Theatre Association presented the seventh annual 10-Minute Play Festival in conjunction with the return of Best of Broadway on March 9 and 10. With six different shows, seven different authors, six different directors and 19 different actors, the 10-Minute Play Festival provided a diverse repertoire of theatre for the audience. “I really love this event because I’ve been involved every year I’ve been at UNI. I’ve acted, written, directed and now I’ve helped to administrate the entire event,” said Molly Franta, senior history and theatre performance double major. As president of UNISTA, Franta worked alongside other students, putting all the pieces together to make sure both the 10-Minute Play Festival and Best of Broadway were a success.
“It’s student-written, studentdirected, student-acted and all around student-run,” explained Franta. Three comedic plays contrasted with three dramatic pieces as UNI students acted in the Bertha Martin Theatre. The audience sniffled during “The Ride We Call Life,” written by D.J. Xayasouk, junior theater arts major. The play told the story of a father, played by Ian Goldsmith, UNI theater alumnus, who had lost his wife, played by Amanda Penn, senior elementary education major, in a car accident. The play showed the struggle of the father as he coped with his severely injured son. “Good or bad, life is a ride we all must take,” said the family’s doctor, played by Rachel Russell, a UNI theater alumna. The second dramatic play was a take on Edgar Allen Poe’s classic “The Tell-Tale Heart” which had the room in silence as the heartbeat of a dead old man under the floorboards echoed through the theater. Rounding out the dramatic performances was “Amaryllis,” a love < See THEATRE, page 7

Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion were in the original. Many will argue that I need to judge this film on its own merits, but when the director is making such obvious connections between his film and the original, he is inviting these kinds of comparisons, so the criticisms are 100 percent justified.

story of two women written by Tera Edmunds, a UNI theater program alumna. Since one woman suffered from memory loss, the details of the love story unfolded in bits and pieces, with recurring memories coming back in flashes. The performance showed the confusion of the two girls who once shared a common love, while one struggled to remember the past as she dealt with the inevitable future. In addition to the opening comedy “Spiel on 10 Minutes” by Madeline Achen, a sophomore theater performance major, two other comedic plays followed the three dramatic performances of the show. “Waiting for Pam,” written by Jakob Westpfahl, told the story of two guys who were sitting around and, simply put, waiting for Pam. As the two sat and waited, they decided it would be best to watch a movie to help pass the time. That’s when all chaos broke loose. The climax of the comedy was when Arnold, played by Joe Whittemore, sophomore social sciences major, learned actress Mila Kunis had fake boobs. The final play of the night was “Herbie Unloaded,” a play written and directed by Justus Thompson, senior public relations major. The play started out with Herbie, played by Hunter Thompson, sophomore communications major, who had just learned about Hector’s recent decision to sell weed to a 15-year-old boy on the street. Hilarity ensued as the two, paranoid about being caught, tried to seduce the visiting policewoman, played by
make a lot of money. There are two reasons for this. One, it is a prequel to one of the most iconic films of all time, which makes it stand out in comparison to other children’s films in theaters now. Two, you can see it in 3D, and kids today will watch anything in 3D. As long as stuff appears to be popping out of the screen, the kids will be happy. It’s pretty sad that 3D has become the formula for a financially successful children’s film, but that’s an argument for another day. “I think this is pretty fun. The Pork Tornados are good too. I like their sound and the songs they are covering. (The packs) are nice – you can’t go wrong with free stuff when you are in college,” said Rekward. “The lotion especially is great.” CAB’s weekly events continue with Pinterest night Tuesday, March 12. For more information on events, students can like CAB on Facebook, follow them on Twitter or visit the Student Involvement Center located in upstairs Maucker Union for a free magnetic calendar. The Pork Tornadoes will perform at the Hub on Saturday, March 16 at 10 p.m. Valerie Vivian, senior theatre major, in order to get out of trouble. Following the first-act plays was the return of Best of Broadway in the second act, an old but popular UNI theatre tradition. “UNISTA used to do a big Best of Broadway showcase several years ago, before I ever came to UNI, and there was quite a bit of interest in bringing it back this year,” said Franta. “So we thought we’d try combining it with our annual 10-Minute Play Festival.” The revival of Best of Broadway featured hit songs from successful Broadway musicals. The 11 performers danced, sang and acted out hits from “Next to Normal,” “Once,” “Shrek: The Musical,” “Mary Poppins,” “Aida” and “Billy Elliot.” Directed and choreographed by Jordan Makinster, junior theatre major, Best of Broadway solicited heavy applause, whoops and hollers at the end of each song. The performances were complimented by complex and varied lighting elements, and no scene was the same. The minimalistic set was transformed for each act, adding variety to the already varied program. This program came alive through the extensive and diverse lineup of cast members. “This event has always been a great way for UNISTA to get new people involved in the theatre, sometimes for the first time ever. And I’m so glad that hasn’t changed,” said Franta. “I hope the audience sees that it’s really easy and fun to be involved in theatre on UNI’s campus.”

Get yourself some spring break beauty!
Whether you’re on a vacation to the tropics or just on a stay-cation at your hometown’s nearest pool, make sure to pack your beach tote with these spring break beauty basics! • Sunscreen: I know, duh! But you’d be surprised by how few people remember this key detail of health and beauty when having some fun in the sun. Spring break is all about catching some rays, but catch too many and you could develop painful burns, early aging and even skin cancer. If you’re planning on picking up some spring break color, hit the beach with a lotion of SPF 20 or 30. For total protection, try a sunblock of 50 SPF or more and remember to reapply every two hours or so. • Self-tanner: A much safer
(and less painful) way to pick up a tan is with self-tanning products containing dihyderoxyacetone. Spray yourself evenly with a spray tan product or apply some self-tan lotion (there are hundreds of options in every price range and method of application) for a faux glow that’ll keep you looking like you belong on that beach. Friends may ask if you just got back from an island even if you spent your spring break on your couch in Iowa. • Aloe vera lotion/gel: Sun, sand and surf – or alternately, the chlorine of the pool – can do a number on your skin. To soothe budding burns and restore moisture, liberally apply an aloe vera lotion or gel. The aloe’s cooling effect is just a bonus of the substance’s
natural healing and moisturizing properties. • Leave-in conditioner: What goes for skin goes double for hair. Chlorine, saltwater and sun can wreck your hair shaft and cause breakage and frizz. To protect your tresses from harm, use a leave-in conditioner before you hit the beach. A leave-in product with SPF? Even better. • Bright canvas bracelets: No matter your gender expression or sense of style, canvas bracelets in brilliant hues will create the perfect contrast with your glowing skin. Casual enough to go well with your swimsuit or a night out on the town, the canvas will dry easily after swimming or surfing. Have a fabulous and fun spring break!

UNI goes one-and-done in St. Louis JAKE BEMIS
Sports Writer
Before some Panther fans could even check into their hotels in St. Louis, the University of Northern Iowa’s NCAA Tournament dreams were erased. The Panthers fell behind early to Illinois State University but found a way to battle back before falling 73-65 Friday night in UNI’s opening game of the Missouri Valley Tournament. For four UNI seniors, it was their final time wearing a Panther jersey in the MVC tournament. “It hurts. When you put all your effort and everything into it, you know everything you got, like our team does every single night we go out there, it hurts really bad. Give credit to them. They played a really good game,” said senior guard Marc Sonnen after the game. Sonnen led the Panthers with 16 points on 5-for-9 shooting. Seniors Anthony James and Jake Koch added 15 and 14 points, respectively. ISU led by as many as 15 points in the first half before UNI closed the half on a 24-8 run to take a 35-34 lead heading into the break. UNI scored the opening
basket of the second half to take a three-point lead, but that would be the largest lead for the Panthers all game. The Redbirds took a 60-50 lead with just over seven minutes left in the game and never looked back. The closest UNI could cut the deficit to was two points before finally falling by eight points. “I felt good about how our guys stuck with it. It hurts deep down, especially being the last time ever playing (in St. Louis). It sucks, but you’ve got to live with it and you’ve got to move on,” Sonnen said. ISU was led by senior guard Tyler Brown’s 28 points. Brown shot 6-for8 from behind the 3-point line. Senior forward Jackie Carmichael finished the game with 15 points. When the two teams played on March 2, Carmichael scored just five points. “(Brown) is a really good player. He can do so many things. He’s going to hit tough shots, but you’ve got to keep your head up and keep staying with it no matter what. He’s going to take a lot of shots. He hit some bigtime shots for them,” Sonnen < See BASKETBALL, page 9

Tuttle makes his mark at UNI JACINDA RUGGLES
RILEY UBBEN

Leading his team in rebounding and offensive rebounding his freshman year, as well as earning a spot on the MidMajor Freshman All-American team and being named Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year, Seth Tuttle has made quite a name for himself. In high school, Tuttle was a three-time all-state pick and a three-time all-conference honoree. He led West Fork High School to an undefeated record his senior year. When Tuttle started thinking about college, it was no wonder he got a few offers. However, he decided to play basketball and study at the University of Northern Iowa because it was a perfect fit for him. The coaching staff and the academic programs at UNI suited Tuttle’s detail-oriented mindset. Tuttle is extremely appreciative of all the help UNI head coach Ben Jacobson has given

him in the last two years. Jacobson encouraged Tuttle to apply himself and work for any opportunities that arise. “Seth brings toughness and enthusiasm to our program. He is highly competitive and continues to grow as a basketball player,” Jacobson said. Unlike many college freshman athletes, Tuttle did not redshirt his freshman year. He continued on to the basketball program at UNI and certainly had few problems transitioning, as shown by his achievements last year. “In college basketball, you have to move quicker, react quicker. It’s more physical,” Tuttle said of the transition. Tuttle has grown to view his team as a second family. After spending hours practicing each week, as well as the hours spent traveling to games, this year’s team particularly < See TUTTLE, page 9
The University of Northern Iowa women’s basketball team split their endof-the-season home stand this week. The Panthers (15-15, 10-8 MVC) throttled the Indiana State University Sycamores 75-49 Thursday and fell short to the Illinois State University Redbirds 66-61 Saturday. The loss to Illinois State snapped a UNI three-game winning streak. Redshirt senior guard Jacqui Kalin led the Panthers past Indiana State with 29 points. Senior Amber Kirschbaum tallied a game-high 18 points against Illinois State. The Panthers found themselves down 27-26 to the Sycamores at halftime, but they came out in the second half and shot 61 percent from the field – including 5-9 from beyond the arc. Kirschbaum got the Panthers going with back-to-back layups to start a 14-1 run that gave the Panthers a 53-34 lead with just under 10 minutes remaining in the game. Indiana State could not put together a scoring run to tighten the gap as they shot just 24 percent in the second half. Kirschbaum finished with 10 points and seven rebounds on the night. The Panthers continued their strong
play in the opening minutes against the Redbirds. After finding themselves down 7-4, Kalin and the Panthers went on a 9-0 run to give UNI a 13-7 advantage. Kalin wrapped up her illustrious career as a Panther with 13 points, six rebounds and four assists in her last game at the McLeod Center. But the Redbirds put together a run of their own to end the first half and give them the lead at 28-23. Senior guard Alexis Jenkins’ 3-pointer and two made free throws started the 9-0 run. Illinois State also played tight defense and forced the Panthers to take tough shots as they missed their last eight shots of the half. The Redbird run did not stop after the halftime break as they came out and scored four straight points to give them a 32-23 lead. The strong play from the Redbirds helped increase their lead to 15 with 7:36 remaining. The Panthers did not give up, even when the game looked out of reach.

the lead to single digits at 57-49. The jumper sparked a Panther comeback as they went on a 10-1 run that ended with 1:35 remaining. “We had to have that same urgency at the start of the half. We did a great job of shutting them down at the end,” said Kalin. The Panthers battled and answered every Redbird bucket down the stretch. Kirschbaum narrowed the deficit to just two points and brought the home crowd to their feet with just under one minute left in the game. However, the Redbirds made six straight free throws to close out the ball game. Senior Jaime Russell’s free throws with seconds remaining sealed the deal for the Redbirds. Russell finished with 15 points and eight rebounds. “It gives me the shivers. It
was a special moment and I was glad that we could give (the fans) something to stand up and cheer for at the end,” said Kalin. “I just appreciate their support all along the way.” It was the final game seniors Kalin, Kirschbaum and Morgan would play for the Panthers in the McLeod Center. “You could tell that they did not want to leave the McLeod Center the last time with a loss. They left everything they had out on the floor,” said UNI head coach Tanya Warren. “I could not be more honored to have coached three outstanding young women than I am of those three.” The Panthers begin postseason play as the fourthseeded team in the Missouri Valley Conference basketball tournament. They will take on Indiana State in St. Charles, Mo., Friday at 2:35 p.m.
said. “I think in either case, the games (tonight and March 2) could have flipped. Carmichael was in a little bit of foul trouble the other night. He was obviously more of a factor in this game,” UNI head coach Ben Jacobson said. “At the same time, we were challenged heavily a couple of times in this game, early, to start the game, and then again in the second half.” With the loss, the Panthers potentially finish their season with a record of 18-14. The odds are strong that the Panthers will play at least one more game this season. “I think the performance the guys have put in gets us either in the National Invitation Tournament or an awfully serious look at it as we go through next week. I think everybody would agree with that,” Jacobson said. The team selections for the NCAA Tournament are announced March 17, also known as Selection Sunday. After that, other tournaments may select teams to play in their tournaments. The Panthers should know their postseason fate by Wednesday at the latest.

We think alike. It’s a good fit,” said Tuttle of his teammates. An aspect of UNI basketball that Tuttle particularly likes is the closeness to his hometown of Sheffield, Iowa. Being so close to home,
Tuttle has brought all the support from his high school basketball career to UNI. His parents, Jim and Vicki Tuttle, have been able to make it to almost all of his games. With a dad who loved basketball and a younger brother whose high school team just made it to state, it’s no wonder Tuttle wants to stay in the family business of basketball. After college, Tuttle wants to see where he can go while still playing basketball. Whether it’s on a Developmental League team, overseas or even the National Basketball Association, Tuttle loves the game of basketball and would like to continue playing. Eventually, he would like to coach basketball. Tuttle said the biggest honor would be one day working with one of his coaches from UNI. “I would never change the coaches, team, anything,” Tuttle said of his experience at UNI.
