Beloved UW-Madison journalism professor James Baughman dies at 64 By Jim Dayton THE DAILY CARDINAL

James Baughman, a highly respected journalism and mass communication professor, died Saturday after battling lung cancer.

James Baughman, who spent more than 30 years as a journalism professor and instructor at UW-Madison, died Saturday morning from lung cancer at the age of 64. Highly revered by both his earliest students and current journalism undergraduates, Baughman came to Wisconsin in 1979 as an instructor and became an assistant professor in 1981, according to a School of Journalism and Mass Communication release. He earned full professorship in 1990 and led the J-School as its director from 2003 to 2009. Baughman was a leading researcher in the history of mass communication and wrote four books related to its effects on society (which he’d tell you could be purchased on Amazon.com).

However, his personal accomplishments never usurped his commitment to educating the next generation of journalists. “He had a style where he always demanded excellence of you … but he always made that excellence seem attainable,” said Katy Culver, an assistant J-School professor and former student of Baughman’s. “There weren’t any goals that were beyond something we could achieve.” Baughman earned degrees from Harvard and Columbia but always emphasized his Ohio roots, routinely using the phrase “mad as a wet hen” and fruitlessly rooting for Cleveland sports. His lectures were full of wit and presidential impersonations, giving him a down-toearth persona that endeared him to hundreds of students. His classes covered topics such as history of mass communication,

literary journalism, creative nonfiction and opinion writing. When teaching history of mass communication, Baughman closed every semester with a moving lecture on students’ futures. “The main thing I remember from [the lecture] is just that sense that you were going to go out in the world and do good things,” Culver said. “He never spoke with sentiment. He wasn’t a Hallmark card. Yet he always inspired you.” Spurred on by such inspiration, dozens of his former students took to social media to share their favorite Baughman stories and express their condolences. The City of Madison proclaimed Saturday as James Baughman Day. But the void in Vilas Hall will remain. “He’s irreplaceable,” Culver said. “There will be no replacing a person like Jim.”

Get to know the Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates While presidential candidates for both parties square off ahead of Wisconsin’s April 5 primary, there is another race students should know about as well. Rebecca Bradley and JoAnne Kloppenburg are vying for an open seat on the State Supreme Court and its corresponding 10-year term. The state’s highest court hears cases from lower courts across Wisconsin and issues verdicts affecting all citizens, including students. Here is some background on the two nonpartisan candidates.

Kloppenburg highlights her nonpartisanship

Appeals Judge JoAnne Kloppenburg is championing independence and rejecting partisanship in her campaign for a seat on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court. Kloppenburg has 25 years of

experience, beginning her career as an assistant attorney general and now serving as a judge in the District 4 Court of Appeals in Madison. Bradley has 19 years of experience in the judicial profession and, like Kloppenburg, positions herself as being committed to a fair and impartial application of the law. During the last debate of the race on March 23, contrasting views on how to finance campaigns arose between the two candidates. Kloppenburg said she would “support having taxpayers fund the campaigns of judicial candidates so they would not have to raise money from private donors,” according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Bradley said the race showed public financing gives “an even more outsized voice for third-party interests.” Kloppenburg portrays herself

She is seen as the liberal candidate, despite her emphasis on being nonpartisan. “I have always believed that fairness and justice are fun-

damental principles we must uphold,” Kloppenburg said on her website. “I am unwilling to surrender our courts to outside special interests and partisan politics...Rebecca Bradley is

Walker’s choice. I am running to be the people’s choice.” —Lily Price

Clinton, Kasich to visit Madison in advance of Wisconsin Primary Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and John Kasich will each visit Madison Monday as they look toward Wisconsin’s primary election April 5. Clinton is holding an event at

Gordon Dining & Events Center, according to a UW-Madison news release. The event will not be open to the campus community or the public. Lake Street will be closed to traffic between Dayton Street and

Johnson Street between approximately noon and 3 p.m. due to the event, and the Sellery basketball courts will likely be reserved for event parking and media, according to the release. Second floor

seating areas in Gordon will also be closed until the end of the event. Kasich will host a town hall event Monday from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Sheraton Madison Hotel, according to his campaign’s website. Tickets can

be purchased through his website. Recent polls show Clinton with a slight advantage over Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary and Kasich as a distant third in the Republican primary.

“…the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.”

Current UW student, recent grad square off in County Board of Supervisors race By Miller Jozwiak THE DAILY CARDINAL

Angelito Tenorio, a UW-Madison sophomore, and Hayley Young, a May 2015 Madison graduate, are fighting to replace another recent Madison graduate, Leland Pan, in the District 5 Dane County Board of Supervisors race. The district is approximately 75 percent Lake Mendota with the remaining area being mostly campus. The District 5 seat is traditionally held by a current UW-Madison student or a recent alum. The Board of Supervisors is the legislative branch of Dane County government. The position arguably has a more direct effect on students than federal or even state elected officials. According to the Knight Foundation, a private non profit that works towards informed communities, local elections significantly affect citizens’ cost of living through taxes. Yet local election turnout is one-third of presidential election turnout, which is already low at 60 percent. The board oversees, in conjunction with Dane County Executive Joe Parisi, the budget process. It also sets county ordinances, levies taxes and passes laws concerning law enforcement, according to its website. Tenorio is from Milwaukee and is the University Affairs Chair of the Associated Students of Madison. He is also an Army ROTC Cadet and a Private First Class in the Wisconsin National Guard. Tenorio said his experience in working in UW-Madison’s multicultural community qualifies him for the seat. “I worked with [the] FilipinoAmerican Student Organization and Asian-American Student Union,” Tenorio said. “Working on promoting cultural awareness, cultural competency, that’s very big on our campus, especially with

He is also the chair of ASM’s University Affairs. the recent cases of hate and bias.” Tenorio has multiple issues listed on his website, such as environmental sustainability and homelessness, but said racial equity and inclusion is the most important topic in this race. “I want to make sure that these criminal justice reform changes are being implemented over the next couple years,” he said. “That’s what I want to prioritize.” Tenorio also said Dane County needs to do an environmental impact analysis before implementing lake recommendations. His website says reducing pollutant runoff must be a priority because algae growth from phosphorus is “hazardous to our health.”

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, algal bloom can reduce oxygen in lakes which kills fish. Lakes with high levels of toxins can make humans sick, but groundwater pollution can be more harmful at lower levels than lake runoff pollution. Hayley Young has been on the Wisconsin political scene longer, first getting involved during the Act 10 protests in 2011. She went on to be chair of College Democrats of Madison and interned in Representative Melissa Sargent’s office (D-Madison) where she is now a legislative aid. Young is also a graduate of Emerge Wisconsin, a program for future “progressive

women leaders.” “I organized events like intersectionality panel, where we brought in focus on the LGBT Campus Center, or the Women’s Health Panel,” Young said. “I really spent my entire time on campus educating and engaging students on issues that impacted them. I bring a track record of making changes in margins and bringing people together to affect change in their community.” Young also lists the environment and homelessness as issues on her website in addition to safety. For Young, the most important issue is also racial equality. “If you have read the most recent reports the county has released, that is the most pressing issue,” Young said. “If you look at what’s even going on on campus, what’s being reinforced, is how important it is to address [racial disparity] issues.” Young also said as a part of the safety issue, she wants to increase funding to the Dane County Rape Crisis Center. According to a 2013 report, the center took in over $700,000 in revenue that year, which includes donations from citizens and organizations. The center is located on the south side and has a location in East Campus Mall. UW-Madison released a statement in January detailing efforts to reduce sexual assault on campus. Both candidates have endorsements from various local officials and organizations, and both list incumbent Leland Pan as endorsing them. Pan could not be reached for comment. In addition, both candidates’ emphasis on racial equality coincides with Blind Side, a political group that focuses on diversity and underrepresented students, winning 19 ASM seats. The election is April 5, the same day as the Wisconsin presidential primary and Supreme Court race.

All 7 students studying abroad in Brussels reported safe By Peter Coutu THE DAILY CARDINAL

After a series of deadly terrorist attacks hit Brussels, all seven UW-Madison students studying abroad in the city were accounted for and reported safe March 22, according to University Relations Specialist Greg Bump. The attacks struck the Belgian city’s international airport and a subway near the hub of the city, killing at least 34 people and leaving hundreds more injured. UW-Madison junior Gabrielle DiBenedetto, who is studying in Brussels for this semester, said she was in the airport that was attacked just yesterday, returning from a weekend trip to France. She said the entire experience has felt surreal. “Nobody believes this is happening because it is so bizarre that these are places that we go every single day,” DiBenedetto said. “Now, they’re targets of a

terrorist attack.” She first heard about the attack on the airport while in class early Tuesday morning and, about an hour later, she learned about the subway bombing. The subway is located just a short distance from the Free University of Brussels, roughly a fifteen-minute walk according to DiBenedetto. The students were sent home by the dean of students, who encouraged them to remain at home for their own safety. All public transportation was also quickly shut down. A news agency affiliated with the Islamic State spread a bulletin Tuesday claiming ISIS was responsible for the Brussels bombings. DiBenedetto said even with ISIS having a strong presence in the city, especially after the 2015 Paris attacks, she has never felt unsafe in Brussels. “I’ve never felt unsafe in

the city and neither have a lot of people. Sometimes I do feel more unsafe in Madison than I do here,” DiBenedetto said. “It’s kind of just crazy that now, something like this has happened. I don’t know how to adjust my schedule to be any more safe.” Leaders from around the world, including United States President Barack Obama, Pope Francis and French President François Hollande pledged support and expressed sympathy to Belgium quickly after the deadly attacks. “The thoughts and the prayers of the American people are with the people of Belgium. We stand in solidarity with them in condemning these outrageous attacks against innocent people,” Obama said in a press conference. “We will do whatever is necessary to support our friend and ally Belgium in bringing to justice those who are responsible.”

Slate columnist Rebecca Schuman called Wisconsin a “worstcase scenario” for issues with tenure and academic freedom.

Columnist criticizes tenure situation within UW System Shortly after the UW System Board of Regents passed three tenure resolutions that faculty members deemed more harmful than helpful in protecting academic freedom, Slate education columnist Rebecca Schuman wrote that despite efforts to retain superstar faculty at UW-Madison, “the damage has been done.” In her article, “The End of Research in Wisconsin,” Schuman described how tenure changes throughout the UW System could cause a “total loss of the public research university,” and said the state of public higher education in Wisconsin is worse than other areas nationwide. Much of the discussion surrounding tenure arose after Gov. Scott Walker struck it from state statutes in July 2015 and weakened faculty governance, leaving the 18-member Board of Regents to decide more singularly whether programs could be discontinued and faculty laid off. Many faculty members expressed disapproval of Walker’s work, most notably sociology professor Sara Goldrick-Rab, who has repeatedly slammed the university for treating its faculty poorly. Goldrick-Rab, who is leaving for Temple University, is one of at least five other top faculty members taken by competing peer institutions, Schuman wrote. In February, UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank reported

to the Board of Regents that 85 percent of faculty who received outside offers in recent months have been retained, but the university has spent nearly $9 million to do so. Schuman said as long as tenure is weak in Wisconsin, the regents will have to keep “doling out cash to stave off poachers” if the university wishes to preserve its reputation, and she questioned how any new high-profile faculty members will be attracted to Wisconsin with such little protection for their academic research in place. Schuman argued that faculty require tenure to protect the integrity of knowledge, and she urged readers to think about how research at UW-Madison has affected their own lives. “Wisconsin professors simply do not want research limited by the whims of 18 people appointed by a governor with an openly stated anti-education agenda,” Schuman wrote. “And you shouldn’t, either.” State lawmakers have paid little attention to warnings against “corporatizing” higher education, Schuman said, and recent steps to weaken tenure in Wisconsin signify a further refusal to acknowledge the cost of this practice. “What’s happening in Wisconsin is a worst-case scenario come to life,” Schuman wrote. “And $9 million will do nothing to stop the demise of the integrity of research produced there—and everywhere else, too, if we don’t start electing lawmakers who actually value research.”

in May of 2015, he appointed her to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals; and five months later, Walker appointed Bradley to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This pattern led a Cap Times editorial article to declare that “Bradley’s judicial career has been shaped and defined by Walker.” Bradley is hoping to move past these criticisms and refocus her

image as a strong candidate with extensive judicial experience, characteristics which are at the center of her campaign. “I understand my duty to apply the law as it is written and not as I may wish it to be,” Bradley said on her website. “I have faithfully exercised this duty in hundreds of cases as a judge.” —Emily Curtis

Associated Press team wins 2016 Anthony Shadid Award By Peter Coutu THE DAILY CARDINAL

An Associated Press team that reported on slave labor in the southeast Asian fishing industry won the 2016 Anthony Shadid Award for Journalism Ethics UW-Madison announced Friday. The UW-Madison Center for Journalism Ethics bestows the award annually in honor of journalism alumnus and Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Shadid, who died in 2012 due to health complications in Syria, according to a university release.

As Election Day draws closer, the pressure has intensified for state Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley. After liberal advocacy group One Wisconsin Now recently released a letter to the editor Bradley wrote

when they learned any slave that spoke with them could be executed. Because of this, the AP team and their editors decided to rescue their sources before they published the initial story online. AP reporters Martha Mendoza, Margie Mason, Robin McDowell and Esther Htusan worked on the stories and helped free more than 2,000 slaves, according to the release. “The AP defied convention by taking responsibility for the welfare and safety of the slaves, who were willing to face death to tell their stories,” said chair of the judging committee Jack Mitchell as a college student, she has faced heavy scrutiny. The letter contained Bradley’s feelings about the gay community, calling them “degenerates” and their actions “immoral.” Although Bradley apologized for those comments in a Wisconsin State Journal article, many wonder if she has the ability to judge impartially if elected. “Her career does not show

in the release. “The journalists got the men to safety before publishing the stories.” The team will be honored at a “Race, Ethnicity and Journalism Ethics” conference April 29, and Nada Shadid, Anthony Shadid’s widow, will present the award to the AP team. Mendoza and McDowell will participate in a panel at the conference this year to discuss the ethical difficulties they faced while pursuing the story. Award-winning New York Times Magazine reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones will be the keynote speaker at the event. much evidence of change,” said Kloppenburg in a WISN.com article. “She’s continued to articulate very extreme and conservative viewpoints throughout her career.” Bradley has been appointed to serve as a judge three different times in the past four years by Gov. Scott Walker. In 2012, Walker appointed Bradley to the Milwaukee County Circuit Court;

When fashion meets social movement By Krista Brown the daily cardinal

Maybe you’ve perfected your “morning after not sleeping in your own bed” look by learning how to rock borrowed, oversized joggers and a “groutfit” (strictly gray outfit). Perhaps you rock these outfits so well that you begin to incorporate cool grays and loose silhouettes into your daily looks. But when you get to a clothing store, you might run into the problem of never finding a hoodie off the rack that is as perfectly nonchalant as the ones you borrow. Clothing companies are starting to catch onto the idea that clothes are not as binary as we like to think—just like gender, they fall on a spectrum. The solution to finding those unspoiled, loose-fit clothes that many women thought they could only find by getting weird looks in the men’s department or stealing friends’ clothes is quickly becoming the newest “trend” in fashion. Genderless clothing is clothing that theoretically works for any human that wears it and appeals to anyone. It does not play into the gender binary that separates men and women sections in stores. Clothing is something that has always cooperated with our gendered society. As a result, when genderless or agender clothing start to become more prevalent

While runways generally set trends, social movements can also have considerable influence. among fashion companies, young people’s support demonstrates that maybe genderless clothing is not just a trend—but rather a deeper shift in fashion and even social movement. Zara, a Spanish clothing line, was recently one of the first mainstream clothing companies to introduce a genderless clothing line. The company presented “Ungendered,” 16 different items modeled by all types of genders, in its TRF label. The 16 items includ-

ed neutral tones and their hoodies, denim and basics. Zara is not the first occurrence of breaking gender divides in the fashion world. The clothing divide between men and women started to break at the same time traditional gender roles started being broken socially. Women joining the work force and then integrating into corporate positions reformed traditional gender roles and changed the fashion industry forever. Women

wanted to be taken seriously in the office so they started wearing what the men wore: pantsuits. Today we hear the word “pantsuit” and automatically picture Hillary Clinton in a room full of men questioning her fashion choices. Clinton was the only first lady to wear a pantsuit in the official White House portrait, but today we are so accustomed to women in chic pantsuits that this is hardly shocking. Today’s image of a pantsuit isn’t

men on Wall Street, but rather a ring of strong women in powerful positions probably dominated by men. More and more badass women are making the traditionally male pantsuit work for them and their lifestyles by tailoring the cut and style to them. Women like Rihanna and Angelina Jolie can be seen rocking Dior suits on the red carpet at major events. The altering of the pantsuit to women as well as the chic, gray ungendered clothes of Zara brings up the question of whether clothes that are strictly nonbinary can be sexy. I say that the clothes, whatever type of clothes they be and whatever gender section they were bought from, should fit the occasion and the person. The pantsuit can now be bought in both the men’s section and the women’s section—though the women’s pantsuits are tailored lower cut and slimmer. Maybe that works for your occasion, or perhaps you buy pieces from the men’s section to have a wider range or types of fit. Clothing that is ungendered, as drab and neutral as it sounds, can be worn to be sexy. The clothes add to the person, they do not make the person. So shop in whatever section you want, take inspiration from your boyfriend’s grey joggers or class it up with a chic pantsuit while your friends are in dresses— just be sure it’s your choice.

Incorporating mindfulness into everyday interactions By McKenna Gramoll the daily Cardinal

As our society edges towards greater awareness of personal well-being, some of the notions of what you “must do for yourself” start feel more like a chore than a favor. Things like hot yoga, daily affirmations and consuming copious amounts of kale can seem more stressful than stress-relieving. Despite being inundated with messages about what is and is not right for both our minds and bodies, cutting through the clut-

ter to focus on one task at a time can be helpful. The act of practicing “mindfulness” is a commitment that can be particularly useful to college students. In a place of high stress, doing sometime like taking 10 minutes out of the day to realign yourself can have lasting effects. Practicing meditation or thinking critically about your perception, rather than the events of the day, can feel strange and be difficult to accomplish. Often, this is because most of

us aren’t told how to slow down our minds to be reflexive in our thoughts. Making a small change toward mindfulness in your day can traverse beyond merely feeling relaxed and create a deeper shift in the way we react to the world around us.

Sleep

Struggling with falling asleep or maintaining a deep, restful sleep can make the waking hours feel exhausting. Whether it’s noisy roommates, a recurring to-do list or a spiral of thoughts that somehow ends up in an existential crisis, stress can seep its way into our sleep. One of the best ways to combat our lackluster sleep patterns is to slow the day down with a guided meditation. Instead of scrolling through Twitter or Instagram into the late hours of the night, try plugging headphones into your phone and download one of the many relaxation/meditation apps that are free in the app store. An app named Calm

provides your choice of background noise while a soothing and educated voice guides you through brief meditation. The app assumes a beginner status and addresses many common concerns with ways to improve next session.

Work

Whether it be working in the library or at a desk job, making an attempt to be mindful during your working hours can generate an improvement in productivity. “Being mindful” means being present in the task or thoughts at hand. Instead of trying to accomplish three things during one study session, break each task down into digestible chunks. If you’re the type of person that likes to write things down, then by all means, write out a to-do list of the tasks you plan to accomplish. Focus on one at a time, rather than alternating between a couple or split-screening your study guide with Netflix. Computer programs like Focus

allow you to block tempting websites during your time of productivity. In fact, splitting your time into dissociated chunks can make your work feel more productive and the times when you’re not working feel more enjoyable.

Yourself

Mindfulness of oneself requires acceptance of your feelings. It does not mean suppressing the moments of stress, anxiety or sadness that you experience, but rather recognizing both the positive and negative moments each day. Despite this, mindful people try not to get too wrapped up in the constant pulls of emotions. Find a way to coexist with the events of your life and discover ways to cope with the bigger challenges that manifest. To learn more about mindfulness in a more hands-on setting, The Crossing (located on University Avenue) holds weekly meditation groups every Tuesday evening.

Makeup Tip Monday: Casual contouring It’s no secret that contouring has been a huge trend lately, but it seems to have gone a bit overboard. Does anyone actually have time in the morning to map out his or her entire face with product? I typically only have time to smear on some concealer and mascara before I have to run out the door for class. For a more natural and fast take on contouring, use a matte bronzer, something like Nars Laguna. Make sure it doesn’t have any orange tones to it, because this will make you look

like an Oompa Loompa more often than not. Find a large fluffy brush and dip this in the bronzer. The trick is to apply the bronzer in a three-shape on your face. Suck in your cheeks to find its hollows, and this will be the centerline of the “three.” The top line will be along your temples and hairline, and the bottom will be just under your jaw. Now follow the lines of the “three” with your brush, making sure to use a light hand so it stays

natural. If you find that the bronzer has gone on too dark, use a clean fluffy brush to blend it out more. Finish off with a bright blush on the apples of your cheeks and a shimmery highlighter on your cheekbones to make everything pop. This only takes a few products, and you’ll be left with a gorgeous, subtle contour just in time for class. Makeup Tip Monday is written by Cassie Hurwitz.

Self-driving cars will eradicate accidents LEILA AHMAD opinion columnist

id you know that 81 percent of car crashes are due to human error? Lately, the media has constantly been discussing ways to make the road a safer place. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, traffic incidents kill upwards of 33,000 people every year. Car accidents cause distress for individuals; however, many of these accidents can be avoided since a disturbing number are a consequence of inattentive driving. The solution: the self-driving car.

Police officers could shift their focus to more severe crimes and accidents rather than incidents that deal with cars on the road.

The idea of self-driving cars seems like something that belongs in a futuristic movie, but if you think about it, it’s quite a good idea. Believe it or not, many companies have already come out with models. The reality is that most accidents are caused by drivers, so why wouldn’t we turn to this great solution? Mercedes, BMW and Tesla have already released vehicles or are soon to

release vehicles that contain the self-driving feature. This component of the car gives it some ability to drive itself. Impressively, tech companies have also begun to lay the groundwork for their own unique models of the self-driven car. Recently, Google declared that it would be testing its first prototype of a “driverless” car. The prototype was released on roads this summer in California. Currently, people can test drive these vehicles in Washington, D.C., Nevada, Florida, Michigan and California. As stated by Google’s director of the selfdriving car program, Chris Urmson, “Google’s vehicles are better all around: They are more courteous and more defensive drivers than normal drivers.” Distraction, speeding, failure to abide by the road laws, or driving while under the influence can all be quite risky and hazardous. All of these factors have a likelihood of happening every time a driver turns the ignition key. But this is not inevitably true for self-driving cars. There are numerous reasons why the self-driven car could bring great improvement for our society overall. Firstly, handicap individuals, who most often have to rely heavily on public transportation or help from others to get around, could really benefit from these vehicles. Some of these benefits include new freedom and the improved

ability of mobility. Additionally, computers use complex algorithms to figure out suitable stopping distances from another vehicle and other data that limits the odds of car accidents. On the other hand, the U.S. Department of Transportation gives a value of $9.2 million for each human life. So, there would be major cost savings in many different areas. These areas include insurance and health care costs.

This component of the car gives it some ability to drive itself.

Lastly, drunk driving incidents would most likely decrease since there is no one actually controlling a car that drives by itself. Police officers could shift their focus to more severe crimes and accidents rather than incidents that deal with cars on the road. There is certainly a lot of fascination on how self-driven cars might impact transportation in the future. However, research and testing are still continuing. For now, it is looking like a great solution to avoid the many setbacks of regular vehicles. Send all comments and concerns to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

Gender shouldn’t be the deciding factor in any presidential election.

Gender can’t solely pick the next president HAE RIN LEE opinion columnist

hen I was younger, I was constantly taught to act like a woman. Until one day I asked, “what does it mean to be a woman?” One of my teachers in elementary school scolded me for not acting like a girl. I did not like wearing skirts or dresses and preferred to play computer games with boys over other things. In some moments of my life I had confusions over my gender. I enjoyed playing like a girl with toys; the issue was that I was labeled as a renegade for taking interest in seemingly masculine hobbies. Gender is not only complex, but also a plays a big role in society. I would like to argue that gender should not be the defining factor in all matters. As its complex nature will tell—it is merely a part of interests, not the conclusive kind. The Democratic primary elections this year have been a realm of feminist discussions. Some iconic feminist figures like Gloria Steinem and Madeleine Albright have commented on how it is shocking to see the lack of camaraderie among young women voters, especially around college campuses, by not endorsing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. With 53 percent of the female vote being won by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the New Hampshire primary, it seems evident that not all women are shooting for the female candidate. It is an undoubtedly historic moment to witness a woman make a try for the U.S. presidency, the unchallenged sanctuary of male dominance, but should gender be the absolute deciding factor over all the other causes for this case? I am a woman, and I identify myself as a feminist to some degree, but it seems like a hasty conviction to assume that all women would be pro-female. The female involvement and support in politics has become more complex. Gender itself is an intersectionality—not a single factor, but a multitude of contributing factors and identities. Just like how I mentioned before, gender is a very complicated identity. I could still identify as a woman even if I am crossdressing. Gender is only a part of many identifying factors of individuals. A white middle-class woman may lead a very differ-

ent life or have varying interest than a working-class AfricanAmerican woman. You can see this gender influence when you look at the gender paygap. Its intersectional nature should be equally reflected on societies. Politics are a representation of people’s interests. People support the candidate with a better reflection of their interests and causes. If a woman thinks the advancement of femininity is the most urgent cause to be represented, then they would support the candidate with the closest reflection of their interest. Women who are more interested in reducing college debts would likely bet their chances on the candidate whose proposed policy addresses that very issue. As politics are increasingly becoming more complicated with conflicting or diverse interests, it seems inaccurate to assume that women should necessarily vote for the female candidate over the male. Gender should be a factor, but it should not negate all the other political and social aspects in determining the collective leadership, or else the election of an ideal authority would be lost. The elected leadership should be considered carefully through multiple factors, not a single sole factor. If only one factor determined the election of a leadership, it would resemble the dictatorship of a single interest or the failed democracy of collective thoughts. People should not depend heavily on a single factor, identity or representation to outweigh the costs of other factors. We should search for the cause that is the most acceptable of diverse representations. We should carefully look over the various categories of intersectionality to judge who would be the more ideal candidate to better represent this nation. But it should be eventually be the choice of individuals to seek out the ideal candidate themselves, as we were dictated to choose. People should be given the right to choose who better represents their causes, and then the collection of such considerations will hopefully procure an improved leadership for the future.

The Daily cardinal Presents

AMILEAH SUTLIFF/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Alex G played at the Hype Hotel, one of many different performances from the band throughout the week.

SXSW Music: DIY, chaotic, Haphazard, Brilliant By Jake Witz THE DAILY CARDINAL

It didn’t take long after leaving Austin, Texas, for me to start reflecting on The Daily Cardinal’s experience at South by Southwest. Twenty minutes into my returning flight, the oxygen masks of our small regional plane fell from the ceiling, and our plane hastily turned around due to a compression malfunction in the cabin. As someone with a deepseated fear of flying, the adrenaline surge to my body granted me the innate ability to look back on the last week with the clarity one

might have before plummeting to the ground in a smoldering jet. What I reflected on in those moments was the Cardinal’s ability to whip up a haphazard DIY South By with the same celestial duct tape that seemed to be holding the plane together. We took on the festival not as music industry veterans who had the experience and wisdom to deem the festival a hollow corporate shell of its former self, nor did we transform into professional partiers with the exact GPS location of every open bar after-party and sighting of Drake. Overall, we were just college

kids, stumbling around an absolutely massive festival with wide-eyed wonder and liberating ignorance. To summarize the various contradictory forces of SXSW, one can look no further than the differences between Alex G’s performance at the Mazda Hype Hotel, an immaculate warehouse with impressive lights and an open bar, and their show at the French House Co-op living room. The former show was filled with industry heads decked out in business casual wear, nodding more in beat with their conversations about the current state

of the music industry than that of the songs played from stage. The latter show had a sweat-drenched crowd that had to keep itself from bursting out into the space reserved for the band, cheering and hollering with little to no regard for their neighbors, who were likely at the show themselves. Both forces at SXSW mixed and clashed with each other throughout the week, making one unsure whether to pass out business cards or shots at any given moment. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t overly excited for SXSW’s corporate aspects present in the former performance. On the nights leading up to the journey to Austin, I dreamed of schmoozing with Pitchfork executives at a brunch hosted by Vice, twirling my complimentary martini with a stick made of condensed business cards that I had accrued throughout the conference. Fortunately, these visions evaporated the moment my Uber pulled up to the overgrown, beer bottle-littered lawn of the co-op we had planned to stay at, when I soon realized that I would be much more acquainted with my La-Z-Boyturned-bed over the next week than any industry bigwig. Given our stature as wristbandholders, the prospects of us Cardinal writers getting into to the ultrahyped performances of the week, such as Iggy Pop and 2 Chainz, were slim to none. Instead I drunkenly told footwork pioneer RP Boo that his existence was an inspiration, hugged Kelela at a bar and destroyed an unknown band from the U.K. in cornhole (21-0 to be exact). Amileah even managed to sneak into a SPIN magazine party with Lizzo, making more career connections than the rest of us by masquerading herself as a well-known freelance writer (perhaps a self-fulfilling prophecy). But even more important than getting up close to musicians were the moments of meeting similarly-

positioned college students navigating the festival with as much bewilderment and inexperience as us Cardinal writers. I linked up with college radio hosts from University of Texas at Austin, New York University and Georgia State, all who seemed to keep popping up everywhere we went after we met. One particular host at UT Austin’s radio expressed such a similar passion for electronic music as myself that it had to be written in the fates that we would happen to strike up conversation during an intermediary NAAFI DJ set at the Hype Hotel. The climax of these interactions was the Alex G show across the street from our co-op, where I got to peek into an alternate universe of college DIY. I frolicked about the UT students, who failed to see how I could be so ecstatic during what was just a regular weekend for them. Less eloquently than I write now, I explained how wonderful it was to be able to pick out the little differences between such similar large public schools, like how the local DIY sound of Austin sounded much more emo and anthem-y à la Japandroids, compared to the more gentle bedroom pop sound that Madison fosters, or how living rooms and backyards became stages as opposed to the dark, warm basements of a wintry Midwest town.

Even SXSW itself somewhat embraced the DIY spirit in its showcases. While large festival stages were assembled for the most well-known acts, the majority of shows took place in small bars and clubs, with the only symbol distinguishing it from a normal show was a single tarp banner displayed at the entrance with the logo for the festival. Stormzy has played for thousands at festivals in the U.K., but his U.S. showcase had him cramming his inimitable energy into the space of a small dive bar not unlike those that host local bluegrass bands in Madison. It’s mismatches like these that made for the most exciting moments of the festival: big-name groups performing in the backyard of a bar, publication owners sipping on complimentary screwdrivers alongside belligerent festivalgoers and college newspaper writers from Wisconsin missing a whole week of classes to bounce around Texas with new friends, drinking brunch mimosas one day and scrounging co-op potatoes to make a breakfast skillet the next. There may be a time where I would appreciate slipping into a business casual polo and attending an informative lecture more than a sweaty college house show, but that time was certainly not now.

SXSW Film: Storytelling and the film industry have the power to promote diverse points of view By Samantha Marz THE DAILY CARDINAL

Diversity is too often drowned by tides of blacks and whites. There are so many forces telling us to think one thing or its polar opposite, and as a result, we are led to believe that our values are not worthy of recognition if they are not painted black or white. This is an ongoing struggle, especially here in Madison, given recent events on campus. However, in attending SXSW in Austin, Texas, I found the keynotes and film screenings to be a refreshing blend of perspectives and stories that challenged these boundaries. The diversity in topic and genre kept me on my toes as the festival proved over and over that the best projects are the ones that add color to these dichromatic topics. Among the most moving events at SXSW was the presentation by first lady Michelle Obama, who discussed the importance of education for young girls across the globe. She was joined

by Sophia Bush, Missy Elliott and Diane Warren, with Queen Latifah serving as a moderator for the talk. This lineup of speakers alone blew me away. To be in the same room as some of the most powerful women in society was humbling, to say the least. Their presence onstage was only exceeded by their words. Michelle Obama advocated for her initiative Let Girls Learn, which addresses the 62 million girls in the world without access to education. As a female with the privilege to attend college— let alone one like the University of Wisconsin-Madison—the presentation reminded me that inclusion is not as simple as being given opportunities. It is about having access to those tools in the first place and being able to maintain that lifestyle. This is a struggle for girls living in places where their environments serve as a perpetual challenge to receive things like education. These women maintained this

mindset throughout their conversations on feminism and equality. In regard to these topics, Sophia Bush made a comment that “people need to look at each other like people.” This struck a chord in me because it sums up the fundamental importance of inclusion and diversity. Just because my view or lifestyle may not be congruent with another person’s does not mean that we are diametrically opposed to one another. Especially in a world where the gender gap and equal opportunity remain prominent points of discussion, it is important to acknowledge that each of us has a voice. These powerful public figures made it clear that treating those voices with respect can only enrich our understanding of issues and promote progress. The festival continued to tackled diverse topics in the film screenings dealing with complex emotional struggles. Jean-Marc Vallée’s

“Demolition” had an unconventional take on grief, in which protagonist Davis Mitchell reacts with staggering apathy after his wife dies in a car accident. This was my favorite screening, not just because Jake Gyllenhaal was fully committed to his role as Davis, but because it invited me to completely reconsider how a person ought to react to a tragedy. Before the film’s premiere, Gyllenhaal sat down to discuss the film and his past roles. When the talk opened up for audience questions, one women took to the mic and shared her own personal experiences with apathy, recounting how she could not feel any emotion after the passing of her grandmother. Her voice thick with emotion, she thanked Gyllenhaal and those involved with the film for portraying this side of grief, which does not receive as much recognition as other reactions. I was completely moved by the amount of impact this film had just in its subject matter alone

and the fact that its effects on people were real. A story like this would do well in the Marquee theater in Madison because it emphasizes the acceptance and validation of other people’s reactions and ways of living, even if they are “different” than our own. In depicting an alternative method of coping, the film shows that a person’s emotions and reactions do not have to fit neatly into a black or white box to be justified. Emotional and physical strife was also displayed in the film “The Other Half” directed by Joey Klein. The movie centers around Nickie, a man still grieving from the disappearance of his younger brother years ago, and Emily, a woman struggling with bipolar disorder. Tom Cullen and Tatiana Maslany inhabit their characters with tenderness and vulnerability as the two find comfort and acceptance in one another. While the ending cuts the film off a little abruptly, the film’s

message is potent. Emily looks past Nickie’s rough exterior and inner conflict just as Nickie looks past Emily’s mental disorder. Through this film, we see that love triumphs when we look past the differences that could otherwise drive a wedge between us. Such inclusion is what gives true vibrancy to our surroundings, as it does for these characters. This year’s festival embraced the fact that we do not live amid an environment of black or white or even grey; there is a full array of hues to draw from. I think we are all striving to trace the world in different colors in the hopes that this spectrum can contrast the blacks and whites we so readily settle for. The way we do that is through the inclusion of diverse and impactful perspectives that dare to break the mold. Media and film are powerful podiums for these voices, and SXSW 2016—through its speakers, films and topics—made sure no colors went to waste.

sxsw explores concept of inclusive creative safe spaces

By Amileah Sutliff THE DAILY CARDINAL

Amid a sea of over 900,000 people in Austin, Texas, at South by Southwest music and film festival, I sought out inclusive and safe spaces. Although the two could work together, it’s important to decipher the actual cultivation of a “safe space” from a buzzword label thrown around by institutions like college administrations and PR efforts. That being said, creative safe spaces are complex and dynamic, and the ways in which we foster inclusive experiences as an arts community aren’t necessarily concrete. Legitimate safe space cultivation shares a deep convergence with the arts as individuals looking for solace from turmoil in their daily lives and entire marginalized groups alike are continuously participating in creative culture. A vast array of identities intersect with each other and art itself in an infinite number of ways in the process of expression; art has a way of making the personal political and providing visibility and voice to marginalized groups across the board. And along with that, it provides a safe space. To those outside of the hegemony of dominant culture, art is not just a physical safe space, but a realm to feel autonomous within the context of a community, especially when groups and individuals may not feel safe or free to express themselves in any other context. With instances of hate and discrimination recently brought to light with #TheRealUW and its surrounding context, our campus is rightfully questioning what it really means for a place to be safe and inclusive to everyone, especially on our own college campus. The exclusionary atmosphere is directly palpable in the Madison arts scene with the recent short-term banning of hip-hop shows from The Frequency. Direct institutionalized acts of exclusion limit who can participate and feel safe and welcome in our arts community, but they also work in tandem with the complex informal ways to make a space inclusive. Inclusion in our arts spaces is the foundation by which we can progress together, but we’ve got a ways to go in deliberately transforming ourselves as individuals and as a community, and the path to transformation may not be as clear-cut as labeling a space “safe.” With the sheer number, variety and scope of artistic endeavors taking place at South by Southwest, the festival provided a lab of sorts to explore the meaning of safe spaces and the ways in which they’re created. And let

me tell you, I found them in the most unlikely places. Leading up to SXSW, I was looking forward to Tumblr’s 79¢ Party, an all-female lineup named after the wage gap and devoted to raising awareness of gender inequality. The night featured an insanely stacked sequence of talented ladies including Little Simz, Jhené Aiko and Empress Of. The show was successful: The performers absolutely slayed, the night showcased female talent that often gets glossed over or undermined in the world of arts and entertainment and Wendy Davis and the advocacy group UltraViolet even opened up an important conversation surrounding the multifaceted issue of gender inequality. In a lot of ways, it was a positive, productive and safe space. But in other ways, the corporate and advertised efforts to make the event inclusive weren’t enough. The show was inclusive and safe in a literal and official sense, but there didn’t seem to be the same mutual understanding among the crowd that I found at some of the other shows. It even felt rigid and stuffy at times. Everyone was pushing to get the best view, people yelled disrespectfully over performers and speakers and it lacked the general feeling of comfort and acceptance that I feel a truly safe creative space is supposed to harbor. Just because a show serves an inclusionary purpose and uses the rhetoric of inclusion, doesn’t mean that it’s inherently inclusive. In order to make our arts spaces safe, everyone has to be actively participating, including the audience. The safest spaces, the spaces I found and saw the most freedom and com-

fort within, were extremely unexpected. One of which was in the depth of a mosh pit at a 2 a.m. set from the Spanish alt-rock band HINDS at a house show hosted by other college kids in an Austin co-op. Growing up being a huge supporter of house shows and DIY arts culture, I’ve always seen a fair amount of inclusion within the DIY scene, likely because the whole process forms within the hands of the audience and artists themselves. Mosh pits, on the other hand, I’ve tended to avoid out of misled self-preservation. But this was South by Southwest, and I was not about to be slowed down by my fear of getting trampled to death by fellow human beings. I proceeded headfirst into the rowdy mosh and didn’t look back. Surprisingly, it was the most trust, vulnerability and closeness I’d felt in a long time, all due to the respect of the audience. More than once, I came pretty close to hitting the floor, but was always saved by a fellow audience member. I had absolutely no control over where I was going or what my body was doing amongst a sea of writhing, screaming, dancing people, but I was physically supported and protected by these strangers that were feeling the music as much as I was. I saw the same level of respect for everyone at the show as the audience itself became an essential element to the performance. Another shining instance of safety, support and freedom came with one of my first real run-ins with electronic music and the club scene. I had always looked at the electronic scene from afar, with nothing but slight name recognition and familiarity and a lot of curiosity to precede my SXSW experience. But my encounters with

UNiiQU3, RP Boo and other Teklife notables brought me into an entirely new sphere of respect and audience performance. It was clear that the music they made was made for dance, footwork specifically, and the marriage and balance between audience and DJ performance was brilliant and beautiful. The surrounding members protected that relationship, physically opening up and observing as the dancers precisely but organically responded to chaotic but calculated beats. It was one the the freest creative spaces I’ve been a part of; everyone existed solely on their own but in the context of each other, respecting and acknowledging those around them as much as themselves and the DJ performing. The cherry on top of this positivity-fest came when I ran into the queen of a DJ, UNiiQU3 in the ladies’ room at 3 a.m. where she hugged me and told me I was beautiful. Talk about feeling free and safe. There’s no doubt things need to change at an institutional level to create safe spaces, but SXSW taught me change, safety and inclusivity also lie in the hands of individuals. Creating spaces of freedom for the audience to interact with the work is essential to a thriving and forward-moving arts community and creative environment. The Madison community fosters this in many ways, but we certainly have places to improve, and my experiences at SXSW proved to me that this exists on an individual level. Having audiences that protect each other and respect the artistic process of sharing ideas and concepts can only benefit each individual, group and piece of creative work.

Sweet 16 heartbreak doesn’t define season By Zach Rastall THE DAILY CARDINAL

No matter how good of a season a team might have, a heartbreaking loss to end the season can stick in the minds of players, coaches and fans alike throughout the entire offseason. That will certainly be the case for Wisconsin this year following its disappointing defeat at the hands of Notre Dame in the Sweet

Sixteen. For fans and players, the final 30 seconds of the game, which saw the Badgers surrender a three-point lead in seemingly the blink of an eye, will be agonized over in the coming months. Nigel Hayes’ turnover and the subsequent layup by the Fighting Irish to give them the lead for good will be a tough pill to swallow. However, as heartbreaking a loss as that was, the passage of

KAITLYN VETO/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Though he came into the season as a major unknown, Vitto Brown flourished after Greg Gard’s switch back to the swing offense.

time will allow them to look back on the 2015-’16 season for what it really was—an almost miraculous turnaround that saw the Badgers go from NIT-bound to a fifth Sweet Sixteen appearance in the last six years. At this point, the story of Wisconsin’s incredible turnaround has been repeated ad nauseam over the last month or so, but what this team managed to accomplish is truly remarkable. The Badgers were always destined to take a significant step back this season. Losing Frank Kaminsky, Sam Dekker, Josh Gasser and Duje Dukan was going to be extremely tough to overcome, even though Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig were returning. Wisconsin wasn’t short on talent, but this roster was younger and more inexperienced than any other during the Bo Ryan era. Expectations were tempered due to all this turnover, but even pessimistic fans probably weren’t expecting what was about to happen. The Badgers opened the season with an absolutely stunning home loss to Western Illinois, a harbinger of things to come. They got off to a 7-5 start, which included additional home losses to in-state rivals Milwaukee and Marquette. And just when it seemed like there couldn’t be any more turmoil, head coach Bo Ryan decided to step down in mid-December to give his longtime assistant Greg Gard a shot at earning the permanent job. While Ryan’s reasoning for

doing this was understandable from his perspective, the situation Gard was thrown into was far from easy. After all the adversity and disappointment to start the year, the loss of their head coach could have completely demoralized the locker room. Gard made some significant changes once he took over as interim coach, with the most notable obviously being the switch back to the swing offense and an increased reliance on his bench for production. Despite a rocky start to his tenure—the Badgers were 2-4 overall and 1-4 in Big Ten play in their first six games under Gard—Wisconsin finally began to click in mid-January. On Jan. 17, the Badgers finally began to right the ship by beating No. 4 Michigan State at the Kohl Center thanks to a go-ahead basket by Ethan Happ with under 10 seconds to go. That win was the start of a stretch that saw Wisconsin win 11 of 12, including victories over No. 2 Maryland and No. 8 Iowa on the road. In just a month and a half, the Badgers had gone from a team that looked destined for the NIT to one that secured an 18th consecutive NCAA Tournament bid and a 15th straight finish in the top four of the Big Ten standings. But above all else, Greg Gard went from an unproven interim coach to a man athletic director Barry Alvarez was confident enough in to hand him the reins of the program on a full-time basis. The best news of all for Wisconsin fans is that the immediate future is

looking extremely bright. With Jordan Smith as the only senior on the UW roster, the Badgers are in line to bring back 99.9 percent of their production in terms of minutes, 99.8 percent of their scoring and rebounding and 100 percent of their assists and steals. Of course, the one great variable is Nigel Hayes, who could forgo his senior season to test the NBA waters. But even if Hayes leaves, Wisconsin will still be in pretty decent shape. If Hayes departs, the Badgers will return 81.9 percent of their minutes, 76.6 percent of their points, 83.2 percent of their rebounds, 74 percent of their assists and 81 percent of their steals. Throw in the fact that Andy van Vliet will be eligible to play, and you have a team that stands to only improve from this season. Koenig and (possibly) Hayes will be back to provide senior leadership; Happ has the potential to be one the best players in the entire Big Ten; Vitto Brown will have a chance to build on the great progress he made this past season; Zak Showalter can continue his quest to fill Josh Gasser’s role as the ultimate glue guy; and the rest of the UW supporting cast will have another year of experience under their belts. The Notre Dame loss stings now and will for awhile for players and fans, but it shouldn’t diminish what this resilient group of Badgers accomplished this season or what they have the potential to do moving forward.

Late collapse ends Wisconsin’s season

kaitlyn veto/the daily cardinal

Wisconsin turned the ball over 17 times against Notre Dame, including three times in its last four possessions, costing it a chance at a third straight trip to the Elite Eight. By Ben Pickman the daily cardinal

PHILADELPHIA — With 1:22 left in the game, redshirt freshman Ethan Happ walked to the bench, his hands glued to his head, his face stunned in disbelief. Leading by one point against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (24-11), Happ, the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, had just picked up his fifth foul diving for a loose ball, a decision that would immediately haunt the Badgers (22-13). Eighty-two seconds later, almost all the Badgers, much like Happ just over a minute earlier, stood frozen, stunned at what transpired down the stretch en route to their 61-56 loss to the Fighting Irish. One day in the future they will reminisce about how miraculous their 2016 Sweet Sixteen run was. They will recall their early-season struggles and a coaching change six weeks into the season. A midseason loss to the Northwestern Wildcats will go down as the game when the narrative of the 2015-’16 UW team changed. But the time for recollection was not Friday night, and the place was not Philadelphia. In the waking moments after the game, the agony of defeat was the prevailing emotion on every Badger’s face. A team whose deep tournament run was predicated on belief sat in a locker room full of disbelief. Wisconsin gave the game away Friday night against Notre Dame and, with it, their season came to an end. UW, widely regarded as a team that is careful with the basketball, combusted down the stretch, turning the ball over in three of its final four possessions. “I don’t know if there’s a program in the country that prides itself more on taking care of the ball and valuing every possession more than Wisconsin,” head coach Greg Gard said. “I don’t know if there’s anybody that works on it more than we do. And to have this kind of ending it’ll be—it will sting for a while but hopefully it will be a great motivation as we continue to grow and move through the offseason.” Ethan Happ finished the game with 14 points and 12 rebounds, but

when the redshirt freshman fouled out of the game with over one minute remaining, forcing the veteran Badgers to weather the storm, juniors Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig instead became reckless and lacked the court composure needed to propel the Badgers to the Elite Eight. “[I] just had some uncharacteristic turnovers and they converted,” Koenig said of his performance in the final minute. Koenig provided a simple explanation for getting his pocket picked with four seconds left in the game and UW down three points. “He kind of cut across my body and kind of took it,” Koenig said. The junior guard finished the game with only eight points while shooting 3-of-8 from the field. Nevertheless, after a Hayes layup with 3:08 remaining in the second half, the Badgers looked poised to make yet another Elite Eight. “We had all the momentum. They’re a team that really plays off of momentum all year. They’ll get down and they’re never out of it. Kinda like how we played the last couple of weeks,” junior guard Zak Showalter said. “So unfortunately, we didn’t take them out of it. And they just had enough left in reserve and pulled it out in the end.” Showalter finished with 11 points and five rebounds, including an emphatic putback slam midway through the second half, but contributed four of the Badgers’ 17 turnovers on the night. In a sloppy first half, the junior guard helped guide the Badgers to 23-19 lead with a flurry of crisp passes, timely baskets and defensive plays. The Badgers lulled the Fighting Irish to sleep, holding them to 24 percent shooting in the half while limiting junior guard Demetrius Jackson and senior forward Zach Auguste to a combined 2-of-12 shooting. But when it mattered most, Showalter, much like his teammates, came up just short. As Wisconsin begins to reflect on its season, regrets about coming up short will pervade all thoughts. “My high school coach always told me that the farther you go, the more important the game, the bigger risk you run, and if you

don’t come out the winner it gets harder and harder and tougher to deal with,” Hayes said. “I’m proud of my guys, like coach Gard said. We’re in the position where everyone told us we wouldn’t make the tournament let alone be in the Sweet Sixteen.” Hayes finished the game with 11 points and six rebounds, but struggled shooting the basketball for the third straight game. “It comes down to scout. Understanding who your player is and staying solid,” Notre Dame sophomore reserve forward Bonzie Colson said. “We knew that he could drive it, but we

WORK

wanted him to shoot it and contest it so we could get the rebound and go for there.” Hayes didn’t make a 3-pointer until the 9:54 mark of the second half, but did achieve success attacking the basket. Yet down the stretch, a crucial turnover in the coffin corner against the Fighting Irish press will be the lasting memory for the defeat. “Coach did a great job recognizing and letting us know that we had a foul to give,” Jackson said. “So we had a really aggressive trap, and then Bonzie made a great defensive play, getting his hands on it. It kind of fell into my arms

and I just wanted to put it in and finish it.” And just like that, the Badgers’ one-point lead became a onepoint deficit. A trip to the Elite Eight instead became a trip back to Madison. “It was a great season. I don’t think a lot of people expected us to be in this position,” Jordan Smith, the lone senior on the 2015-’16 Badgers said. “When coach Ryan turned the reigns over to coach Gard I think we took what we had and made the best of it. And I think that says a lot about this group of guys that we came together and we made this run.”
