FROZEN FOUR HOPES DASHED

By Erin Banco THE DAILY CARDINAL

UW-Madison students mobilized this weekend to help save Tope Awe, a third-year pharmacy student, from deportation. Federal ofﬁcials arrested Awe and her brother Oluwagbenga Thursday in the Milwaukee immigration ofﬁce. Both Awe and her brother are now in custody at the Dodge County Jail, and a hearing could be scheduled for Monday to determine the outcome of their detainment. Awe planned to graduate in May. She was the co-chair of the African Student Association for the 2006-’07 school year, the co-president of the Multicultural

Ashok Kumar decided not to run for a second term as District 5 supervisor to pursue community affairs instead of legislation.

Current supervisor reﬂects on term By Adam Riback THE DAILY CARDINAL

With the election for the District 5 representative on the Dane County Board of Supervisors Tuesday, Ashok Kumar, who has held the position for the past two years, said he would miss being in the action. “I think the ability to push policy is something I’m going to miss,” Kumar said. “It’s really tough to navigate through the system when you’re 21, but it was so helpful to have a large constituency of young people supporting you.” Kumar said he believes his time in ofﬁce was spent effectively, but he wants to go back to his ﬁrst pas-

sion—working in his community. “I would rather extend my energy to community organizing instead of legislation. I’m going to shift my energy to what I worked on for years before I took ofﬁce,” he said. Before Kumar was an elected representative on the Board of Supervisors, he helped organize groups on issues such as labor, anti-war activism and combatting drug use in the community. Paul Rusk, District 12 supervisor and chair of the Public Protection and Judiciary Committee, said he worked with Kumar on numerous successful projects. “We have substantially kumar page 2

Wyndham Manning

Connor O’Hagan

Daily Cardinal: What in your background makes you qualiﬁed for the Dane County Board? Wyndham Manning: I have a unique, proven brand of leadership experience. As a past director of the WUD Music Committee, I effectively chaired a committee of nearly 50 active members, all with dissenting views on the nature of our programming as well as their own individual preferences and biases. I was able to balance this, negotiate when needed and, most importantly, build and foster meaningful relationships through collaboration between members, other student organizations, campus entities, and local businesses. All of this while understanding the realities of budget limitations and being creative with the challenges that come with addressing them. DC: Brieﬂy explain what you see as the most pressing issues facing District 5. MANNING WM: Providing students with the means to explore while they are on campus and encouraging graduating students to stay in Dane County and take greater advantage of the many professional opportunities right outside of our school’s borders would have a great impact on not only students, but the communities which they will hopefully come to be a part of.

Daily Cardinal: What in your background makes you qualified for the Dane County Board? Connor O’Hagan: I am a former high school representative to the Appleton (Wis.) Area School Board. I participated in Youth in Government for four years. I was also a Wisconsin Representative to the Conference of National Affairs for three years. DC: Briefly explain what you see as the most pressing issues facing District 5. CO: Great strides have been made to improve safety when students are at their homes. However, the safety of students arriving at their destination is a huge question mark. Muggings, sexual assaults and robberies are still a persistent problem in the fifth District. DC: As District 5 supervisor, how do you plan to deal with the issues? What are some of your plans if you win? CO: Implement a nighttime carpool system for residents who work second and third shift jobs and for students who study late. O’HAGAN Begin the process of cleaning up our lakes from the inside, not just blocking pollutant flow from the outside. Start a new economic development policy of building up, not out, in an attempt to minimize our urban footprint. Return lost funding to the Rape Crisis Center, add additional funding to the Women’s Campus Center and Women’s Transit Authority.

MEGAN CORBETT little red corbett

ome of you may remember my bid for the presidency earlier this year. You probably think I have given up because I haven’t been on the ballot in any state, my grassroots campaign has not spread beyond my grandma and her bridge club and my campaign manager—the half-eaten turkey sandwich we all know and love—mysteriously disappeared while on a picnic with my friends. All these were tragic blows to my bid, but thanks to my opponent, Sen. Hillary Clinton, my campaign has new hope. See, I didn’t know we could lie in our efforts to become president. Sen. Clinton told reporters she had to skip the usual greeting ceremony and run from sniper ﬁre while visiting Bosnia as the ﬁrst lady 12 years ago. In reality, there was a nice little ceremony that

WM: I plan to work heavily with both student groups and individual students on issues that are important to them ... Some of my main priorities are addressing homelessness and increasing affordable housing, addressing the disturbingly high levels of domestic abuse, ensuring a fair and efﬁcient judicial system, cleaning up our lakes and watersheds, and sustaining our green spaces. DC: What distinguishes you from the other candidate? WM: My background in the arts

was so safe Clinton brought her 15year-old daughter along and was read a poem by a young girl. Perhaps Clinton was confusing her visit with the movie “Behind Enemy Lines.” Or maybe it was a very hostile poem and Clinton repressed the memory, opting to be shot at repeatedly rather than remember the poem a second longer. However, the BBC apparently liked the poem quite a bit, as they had plenty of video footage of the whole ceremony, which was quite sniper-less. Oops. While Sen. Clinton is claiming she merely “mis-spoke”—these tiring campaigns do a number on your mind—she has thrown open the door for my campaign. As a lesser-known candidate, the press won’t have video footage or press releases to combat my stories, which frees me to spin the tallest tales possible. So, I think it is time to announce the ace up my sleeve, my sure-fire, heart-wrenching story of a girl trying to make it in this big old world, a story which is completely and utterly true. You see, I was born into poverty.

I’m not afraid to take calculated risks or fail, because I understand that as the only way to achieve success and measure true progress. DC: What do you like about the other candidate? WM: He’s ambitious. DC: Why should students in particular vote for you? WM: I understand that students are an important part of Dane County, but that our role is as a part of that whole. I have the experience in the community necessary to be able to apply that knowledge holistically and a passion for progress. CO: I am a freshman at the University of Wisconsin and I am going to be on campus the entirety of my term. I will be studying with my fellow students, going to class with them and will be around the entire day for my constituents to interact with me. DC: What do you like about the other candidate? CO: I have a lot of respect for Mr. Manning’s proposal of using an arts initiative to keep youth out of trouble. DC: Why should students in particular vote for you? CO: I am running for this position from a new perspective, bringing a business mentality to the table with the ability to end the precedent of political science majors holding this post. I also bring passion, an eagerness to ask questions, find answers and work to implement previously unthought-of resolutions.

my life and I slept outside with only the snow to cover me. But hope kept me alive. I taught myself to read off of the aluminum cans I collected to make money. This is how Coca-Cola found me, and took this plucky young street urchin to star in a series of commercials and escalate her to stardom. Unfortunately, all records of these commercials were lost in a fire some years ago, and all my money from the commercials was wasted on scratchoff lotto tickets and chocolate milk. I was a troubled child. My past would have a significant effect on my schooling, and my thirst for knowledge was tremendous. I dedicated my time in the second through fifth grades to finding a solution to poverty. I haven’t revealed my discovery because I don’t want to seem cocky. I also discovered the cure to cancer. That was in eighth grade, but there is a real whopper of a story to go with that one. See, I was transporting my discovery to an international science fair at Area 51. Why there was an eighth grade science fair at a secret

military base I will never know, but it was just asking for trouble. It was then terrorist aliens abducted me. Not only was I uncomfortably probed, but they kept my science project. My backup, the classic volcano project, was a dismal failure at the big show. Then there is my secret knowledge of who really shot JFK—it was Colonel Mustard from the grassy knoll, with a ridiculously powerful revolver—how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop— 886 licks—and where Elvis is hiding out—a small motor home that tours the country with James Dean, Tupac and Marilyn Monroe. Yes, I have led quite the life, and my seemingly limitless skill and knowledge make me a perfect candidate. True, I may not be able to act on all these skills once I get to the White House, seeing as they are all completely made up, but what president ever really does? Sadly, Megan really has counted how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. If you would like to compare results, e-mail her at mcorbett2@wisc.edu.

hour of the interrogation,” Samuel Awe said. “We did not know what was happening, but the questioning resulted in Tope’s arrest.” He said his family moved from Nigeria in 1989 when his daughter was 3 years old. “This is the only country Tope knows,” he said. Students and friends continue to do what they can to help Tope Awe ﬁnish her last year at UW-Madison. Students organized a Facebook group and an online survey to collect statements of support to be sent to the hearing. Students plan to hold a rally on Library Mall Monday at 12:30 p.m. to speak out against Awe’s detainment. “I’m really proud of our students and the efforts they’re putting forth for a fellow classmate to allow her to ﬁnish her school here,” Dean of Students Lori Berquam said. “I think that goes to the heart of who are students are. We’re really caring and committed which is very, very important.”

However, he said ofﬁcials did not say either of their children were in danger of being deported. He said he was unaware that the questioning in Milwaukee about Awe’s immigration status would lead to her arrest. “I began to worry after about an

According to Rusk, the new Dane County Court House did not previously provide space for child support enforcement. But that changed with Kumar’s help. Rusk said he is interested to see what the election will bring. “I don’t think age should factor into it,” he said. “You need somebody who will pay attention to the details and who can bring the student perspective as best they can.” “They have to be able to pull together all the views that students have and articulate their vision.” David Worzala, District 10 super-

visor, said Kumar is very energetic, passionate and good at organizing groups. Worzala worked with Kumar on issues concerning the Sheriff’s office and said he will best remember Kumar for his work on making affordable housing for low-income residents and eliminating profiteering off of prisoners. Kumar highlighted affordable housing and profiteering as two of the most important things he has done while in office. He also said he helped end housing discrimination against low-income families and made houses more affordable. According to a press release announcing Kumar’s decision not to run for re-election, the ordinance he passed more than doubled the housing options for lowincome families. Kumar also authored two ordinances that ended profiteering in prisons. The ordinances eliminated the high costs of phone calls and laundry services for the prisoners as well as many other services. Kumar said he would like to see progressiveness surge forward after his term is over. “I hope I took that [progressiveness] to a new level and I hope whoever takes over from here will do the same,” Kumar said.

APRIL 1 ELECTION

Supreme Court race remains negative Campus debate centers on TV ads in contentious election By Charles Brace THE DAILY CARDINAL

Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates Justice Louis Butler and Judge Michael Gableman debated Friday in Vilas Hall. The debate focused on the judicial philosophies of the candidates, but also on the increasingly negative tone of the camGABLEMAN paign. Incumbent Justice Louis Butler said he was proud of the fact his campaign has not run any negative advertisements, and he said he wanted all advertisements funded by special interest groups to be stopped. Burnett C o u n t y Circuit Court BUTLER Judge Michael Gableman is running against Butler. He said he was a judicial conservative who would not “legislate from the bench.”

During the debate, the candidates were asked to watch advertisements from each campaign. A Gableman advertisement stated Butler, when he was a public defender, helped to allow a man convicted of child molestation go free because of a legal “loophole.” Gableman said the advertisement was justified and showed the contrasts between his background as a prosecutor and Butler. Butler said judges and law enforcement officers around the state have criticized the advertisement for being inaccurate. “I am troubled Gableman would belittle our constitutional right to counsel, and I am equally troubled by his cavalier disregard for accuracy,” Butler said. The Butler advertisement said Gableman was running a “sleazy” campaign and that more than 200 judges have endorsed Butler. Gableman said he was endorsed by a bipartisan group of sheriffs and district attorneys, with support from law enforcement being a major theme of his campaign. The campaign had been increasingly dominated by special interest groups spending money on negative advertisements, according to a recent report from the watchdog group the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign. The report found interest groups have spent almost $2.9 million so far, but the final totals are likely to be greater. —Megan Orear contributed to this report.

Ofﬁcials predict 875,000 voters in election The state Government Accountability Board announced Friday it expects the April 1 election to have a 20 percent turnout, a total of almost one million voters, according to a release. The state Supreme Court Race, a referendum on the governor’s “Frankenstein” veto power and other local issues and ofﬁces will be on the ballot Tuesday. Only around 875,000 voters are expected to vote. Voter turnout in recent state Supreme Court elections has remained close to 20 percent, according to the

release. Kyle Richmond, public information ofﬁcer of the GAB, said the turnout for judicial elections is generally low because voters are not aware of what the Supreme Court does. He said elections such as the recent presidential primaries seem more glamorous. The abundance of issue ads and controversy surrounding them are not likely to affect turnout, according to Richmond, because previous elections had similar situations and turnout stayed around 20 percent.

drinking age should remain

recent trend in legislation among conservatives is to re-evaluate the legal age to consume alcohol. A few states are taking different approaches to the debate. A Minnesota bill would allow anyone 18 and older to buy alcohol in bars or restaurants but not in liquor stores until they are 21 years old. In Missouri, a bill was introduced to change the drinking age to 18 regardless of purchasing location. A Wisconsin bill would lower the drinking age to 18 for military personnel. For everyone else, it would remain at 21. Besides the problem of equality, lowering the drinking age below 21 creates secondary problems. By giving military person-

nel different rights, Wisconsin will very quickly ﬁnd itself on a slippery slope, for other groups will surely want to drink at 18. Granted, serving in a war changes a person’s life forever. However, going into the workforce right out of high school or going to college also shapes one’s life. Regardless of one’s path in life, it does not make them more or less prepared for the responsibilities of consuming alcohol. The proposed bill is unfair and unjust. If the state wishes to change the drinking age, it must change it for everyone. If the state wants to support the troops, it should support resolutions to the Iraq War, not the drinking age. MEG ANDERSON/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Full disclosure a must to maintain research validity RYAN DASHEK opinion columnist ate last week in an article from the New York Times, it was revealed a research study published in 2006 suggesting that computer tomography scanning would reduce deaths resulting from lung cancer by about 80 percent was actually funded by a cigarette company. Cornell University professor Dr. Claudia Henschke and the rest of her research team startled the medical world when her published findings reported that roughly 128,000 of the 180,000 deaths that lung cancer causes each year could be prevented by using CT scanning.

The results of her research on detection of lung cancer need serious reconsideration before practical application continues.

The reasoning is that CT scanning can detect tumors when they are still smaller and more easily treatable than when detected by standard X-rays. This has caused many health professionals to accept and apply this new form of lung cancer detection. However, since it has been revealed that Dr. Henschke’s work was funded by over $3.5 million in grants given to her by a small, relatively unknown charity that was actually created by cigarette manufacturer the Liggett Group, much of her research and ﬁndings have fallen under scrutiny. Several people argue that the source of the funds should not

matter and we should still employ many of the ideas and suggestions that her report makes. However, having been funded almost solely by a cigarette manufacturer, the results of her research on detection of lung cancer need serious reconsideration before practical application continues. Many people wonder why a tobacco company would support lung cancer research and how this may make the research more biased, especially research that deals with only lung cancer detection. Critics of Dr. Henschke’s work point out that a cigarette company might want to support this type of research because it downplays the risks of smoking and lung cancer. They propose that this study implies lung cancer is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be because screening can save people, and this is ridiculous. By making tobacco appear less dangerous to people, this cigarette company could potentially profit from Dr. Henschke’s research. Increasing profits and swaying the results might be exactly why they felt compelled to provide grants. CT scans also have certain dangers that need to be accounted for. This includes radiation risks, though X-rays also carry this same hazard. More troubling, however, is that CT scans could potentially detect cancers that are no longer growing and thus are not a threat to the patient’s health. When detecting these sorts of cancers, patients subsequently undergo dangerous medical procedures such as biopsies and lung surgery. Yet, these would be unnecessary if the cancer was no longer growing. Dr. Henschke and her research team should not have used tobacco money to fund their research on lung cancer, but since they did, the scientific paper the research team published should have at least dis-

closed where the funding came from. Instead, it listed a small, unknown charity organization, disguising a large cigarette manufacturer. By accepting this cigarette money, Dr. Henschke may very well have some bias toward tobacco and thus could have downplayed the seriousness of lung cancer in her research, either deliberately or subconsciously.

Researchers cannot continue to accept grants from industries that have a personal stake in the outcome of the study.

Unfortunately, this is not the first case in which researchers have used a small charity organization to receive grants from an institution that could potentially benefit if the results of the study support their products. This sort of tactic is actually more common than many think but is nevertheless a serious breach of bioethics. Although it is often hard to fund their work, researchers cannot continue to accept grants from industries that have a personal stake in the outcome of the study. If they do so, however, they should at the very least accurately and openly explain where the research received its funding. To not do so is an infringement on bioethics, as their research could potentially affect thousands of lives. As such, each researcher needs to always remain neutral on their subject matter so that bias is never formed and results are not skewed. And skewed results, especially in the medical field, can yield fatal consequences. Ryan Dashek is a sophomore majoring in biology. Please send responses to opinion@dailycardinal.com.

‘Last Night’ wins with unique, hybrid tunes By Shawn Small THE DAILY CARDINAL

The bald-headed Moby is pumping out beats and grooves once again with his sixth studio album, Last Night. It seems that Moby is digging up his most artistic and successful album, Play, and bringing the old-school sound back with this new electro/house/triphop album.

CD REVIEW

Last Night Moby

Ryan Phillippe takes on his most powerful role since “Crash” in a moving story about a loop-hole in a soldier’s contract that forces him to choose to return the Army or ﬂee the country he loves.

Powerful soldier’s return By Rebecca Autrey THE DAILY CARDINAL

Brandon King is finished. He is done, his military contract is up, and he is ready to rebuild his life as a regular civilian. He has served his time and done his duty. But Brandon King is stop-lossed. Kimberly Peirce, directing her first film since “Boys Don’t Cry,” delivers a thought-provoking film that examines a controversial clause in military contracts allowing the Army to extend a soldier’s service during a time of war. The movie centers on Sgt. Brandon King—played by Ryan Phillippe—and his unit as they return from a harrowing final tour of Iraq to their small Texas hometown amid a heroes’ welcome. “Stop-Loss” opens with gritty video of King and his crew in Iraq singing patriotic songs, teasing each other over girlfriends and forming the kind of brotherhood that can only arise under such stressful situations. King’s unit comes under attack at a vehicle check point, and the ensuing firefight leaves soldiers dead, wounded and forever haunted.

Shortly afterward they return home, with some soldiers on leave and some finished with their military careers—or so they think. King, his best friend Steve (Channing Tatum), Steve’s fiancée Michelle (Abbie Cornish) and another soldier Tommy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) begin the uphill battle of assimilating back into civilian life.

As a victim of the so-called “backdoor draft,” the only way King can achieve the life he wants is to leave the United States.

In depicting the soldiers’ return, Peirce balances deeply emotional scenes with heartbreaking humor to remind us that the fight in some ways only begins when soldiers leave Iraq. There is another war waiting for them back home. King’s stop-loss orders drive the rest of the film, and his strug-

gle between duty and personal rights becomes paramount. As a victim of the so-called “backdoor draft,” the only way King can achieve the life he wants is to leave the United States. The country to which he has given so much has become his prison. Aside from the over-the-top Texas twangs, the acting in the film is excellent. Phillippe and Tatum say just as much through facial expressions and body language as they do through the film’s dialogue. Phillippe, in a performance reminiscent of “Crash” and “Breach,” brings an understated intensity to King. He has the audience afraid of him, enraged with him and feeling sorry for him all in the same scene. Tatum far exceeds his work in “Step Up” and delivers a powerful performance that is sure to be the first of many to come. All in all, “Stop-Loss” is not an anti-war film and does not try and force you to think a certain way. It certainly does ask you to think. Are we treating service men and women with the same loyalty and honor with which they have served our country?

Moby has been criticized over the years for ditching his upbeat, electronic and eccentric mind. The most publicity he has gotten in recent years resulted from his major beef with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at the 2002 Video Music Awards. But with all Moby bashing aside, Last Night is bound to be a hit. This new album is like his old sound with a new twist—the same soul with a different shell. This concept album is described as a “love letter to the New York City dance scene,” as if Moby wanted the album to feel like a night out in NYC as he moved away from the dance-oriented electronics of his last few albums. “Alice,” by far the most successful single on the album, is receiving acclaim from DJs around the world

and may soon make its way into the Madison nightlife. This body-moving beat is bound to become stuck on a loop in your head once you get used to the sound. The songs “Ooh Yeah” and “Disco Lies” are also destined to be hits for the typical club-goer. Moby’s new and improved sound has a clear connection to “Bodyrock” and “Natural Blues”— singles from his 1999 album Play. Differing from the more ambient and laid back sounds of Hotel, the song “Disco Lies” brings back the art of disco from the ’70s with a more modernized and less corny feel. Moby has blended and merged many different sounds together to make one unique sound. While this musician plays the keyboard, guitar and bass guitar, he is also a genius at mixing and fusing together weird sounds that reach opposite sides of the spectrum. This includes hundreds of strange samples and loops that seem to work for him. The sound is so unique that at this point, it is not so difﬁcult to distinguish it from anything else. The perfect example is “Alice,” which mixes dark techno music with an upbeat hip-hop voice. With Last Night packed with hits, we will be hearing these songs throughout the year. Nobody really knows what goes on in Moby’s head, but whatever it is, he should keep it a secret and ride out the success of his trippy and successful music until the end of his time. When it comes down to it, a fan of Fatboy Slim or Daft Punk will deﬁnitely appreciate the new sounds of Mr. Moby.

video gives a feeling of the Beatles and Beach Boys inﬂuences heard throughout the album. The heavy synthesizer riffs and distortion featured on Fever have been replaced by horns and strings in beautiful orchestrations prominent on most of the songs. Pretty. Odd. continues with several upbeat and quirky songs before slowing it down for “Northern Downpour.” An acoustic intro sets the feeling for a love song showcasing Urie’s solid vocals and guitarist Ryan Ross’s lyrics, and the harmonies and multitrack vocals are a welcome change from the talking and “singing” in their earlier work. It’s not a spotless album, and the country song “Folkin’ Around” is deﬁnitely the prime example of

imperfection. The country sound scars the whimsical pop songs that make up the album and really makes one wonder why it was even included at all. Luckily for the listener, it’s one of the shortest tracks.

They have steered away from the emo anthems of 2005’s A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out and found a new sound.

“Mad As Rabbits” rounds out the album and leaves the listener with a catchy tune that sums up Panic’s new style. Strong vocals

and strange lyrics tell the story of a man who has nothing going in his favor and how “we must reinvent love.” Although it may not be the strongest track, it is deﬁnitely a fun song that ends the album on a high note. Panic at the Disco’s redefined sound and style will certainly lead to a whole new fan base and perhaps lose some of the emo high school girls that made them so popular to begin with. Turning back the clock while writing this album shows the group’s maturity and the respect they have for the pioneers of what we call rock ’n’ roll. The bottom line is that Panic and the Disco have put out a great record that is definitely worth a listen.

Badgers show determination but fail to defeat Sioux By Jon Bortin THE DAILY CARDINAL

JACOB ELA/THE DAILY CARDINAL

Wisconsin goaltender Shane Connelly watches helplessly as a North Dakota shot from Rylan Kaip slides into the goal.

If there was any doubt whether the Wisconsin men’s hockey team was worthy of an NCAA Tournament bid this season—and there was plenty— the Badgers laid all of it to rest this weekend at the Kohl Center. In handily defeating Denver, the hottest team coming into the Midwest bracket, and taking North Dakota down to the wire, the Badgers proved the past week’s naysayers all wrong. “We’ve heard it all week,” sophomore Jamie McBain said after UW eliminated the Pioneers Saturday, addressing critics who were dubious of Wisconsin’s credentials. “We’ve heard it from the press and around the rink. It’s something we try to tune out but also something we try to grab and try to take it and motivate us.” For these two games, as has not always been the case this season, the Badgers showed no lack of determination. They ramped up the intensity to a degree rarely seen. “They’ve been off for two weeks,

and they obviously did a tremendous job of preparing and being ready to play for this regional tournament,” North Dakota head coach Dave Hakstol said. “I sensed a team who had a second chance at life,” Denver head coach George Gwozdecky said after his No. 4 Pioneers’ season ended.

“When you lose and you’re so close, it stings, and it stings deeply.” Mike Eaves head coach UW men’s hockey

“It’s not fun to sit after being eliminated in the ﬁrst round of the playoffs and wonder if you get an extra chance to play another game. When you’re given a second chance like that, you really certainly want to make the most of it.” And the Badgers did. The youngest team in the Western

Collegiate Hockey Association took a 2-0 lead against Denver on Friday and weathered uncertainty into the third period. The Badgers’ knockout blow came in the form of four goals in the third. “We came out the way we wanted to,” sophomore forward Michael Davies said. “We wanted to dictate and move our feet, and we were just out there to prove a lot of people wrong right now. This is another opportunity and we’re going to take advantage of this one.” UW came agonizingly close to taking full advantage. But, in one sense, the Badgers’ two-game appearance in the tournament was emblematic of their most bothersome flaw this season—an inability to finish the job. The season-ending loss to the No. 3 Sioux marked the seventh time this season the Badgers won on the first of successive nights and then failed to do so on the second. This one, for obvious reasons, hurt the Badgers the most. “When you lose, and you’re so close, it stings, and it stings deeply,” head coach Mike Eaves said.

Softball team loses ﬁrst four conference games By Scott Kellogg THE DAILY CARDINAL

The Wisconsin softball team opened Big Ten play on the road last weekend, and the results were disastrous. The Badgers (0-4 Big Ten, 10-25 overall) fell to Northwestern (4-0, 17-9) on Friday and Saturday and then were swept in a doubleheader on Sunday at Michigan State (2-2, 16-15). The weekend started about as poorly as is possible as the No. 16 Wildcats beat the Badgers 10-0. The game was called after five innings because of the 10-run rule, and the Badgers could not get a single hit off Wildcat sophomore pitcher Lauren Delaney. Through five innings, Delaney allowed no base runners and struck out eight batters. Delaney improved to 12-6 with the victory. Sophomore Letty Olivarez took the loss for Wisconsin and fell to 4-11 on the season. Olivarez made the start and allowed eight runs on four hits and four walks. Only five of the Wildcat runs off Olivarez were earned. Northwestern needed just four turns at bat to produce its 10 runs. Junior shortstop Tammy Williams and junior catcher Erin Dryer each hit three-run home runs for the Wildcats. And freshman outfielder Jordan Wheeler, sophomore second baseman Nichole Pauley and senior third base-

Curry finished the night on 11-for-22 shooting while hitting 6-of-11 3-pointers. Even though Davidson thoroughly outplayed the Badgers in the final minutes, Wisconsin still stood a chance with 14 minutes to play. After junior Marcus Landry hit his only ﬁeld goal of the night with 13 minutes and 46 seconds to go, Wisconsin was only down 48-45 and had seized the momentum after being down by as many as eight points just minutes earlier. But as all great players do, Curry took it back immediately. The sophomore needed only 43 seconds to hit two more threes, and the second proved to be the dagger. After Krabbenhoft committed

man Darcy Sengewald drove in runs for Northwestern. On Saturday the Badgers played a much more competitive game against NU at Drysdale Field in Evanston, Ill., but still fell to the Wildcats, 4-3. With the game scoreless in the third inning, Northwestern loaded the bases on Sengewald and Williams singles and a Pauley walk. Dryer then hit a twoout grand slam to put Northwestern ahead 4-0. Wisconsin responded in the next inning with some small ball. A squeeze play by junior first baseman Alexis Garcia scored two runs and put the Badgers right back into the contest. Wisconsin was held in check until the sixth inning when Garcia came through again with clutch hitting. This time Garcia singled to score senior catcher Joey Daniels and pull within one. But a ground out by junior right fielder Ricci Robben ended the inning. Delaney again picked up the win for Northwestern, allowing three earned runs on three hits and a walk through seven innings. Junior Leah Vanevenhoven started for Wisconsin and allowed four earned runs on six hits and five walks through six innings. Things went from bad to worse a turnover, Davidson point guard Jason Richards led the break and found a wide open Curry along the sideline. Krabbenhoft did all he could to disrupt the shot, but with an effortless pump fake, UW’s only hope flew right past the guard, and Curry easily stretched the lead to nine. Six minutes later, Davidson was up 62-46 and in the midst of a 15-1 run in which Curry scored 12 points. “He has the quickest release I have ever guarded,” Flowers said, just days after listing the future NBA players he has guarded in his collegiate career. But that’s all Flowers and the Badgers could say after Davidson fully dismantled the winning equation that so many other teams could not figure out this season. Just like that, Wisconsin was on its way home and the Wildcats’ winning streak was extended to 25 games.

as Wisconsin lost two more games to Michigan State and was outscored 12-2 in the process. The Spartans took the opener, winning 8-2. It was another tough outing for Olivarez. The sophomore was unable to get through two innings after allowing six runs on four hits and two walks. Freshman Shae Bass threw a complete game for the Spartans and allowed six hits, two walks and one earned run while striking out six. Spartan freshman shortstop Bianca Mejia drove in four runs on two hits, and senior center ﬁelder Nikki Nicosia had two hits, two runs driven in and two runs scored. Wisconsin could not get much going offensively again during the nightcap at Old College Field in East Lansing, Mich., and lost 4-0. Senior Lesley Noel earned the shutout for the Spartans and improved to 8-9 by allowing just ﬁve hits and one walk. Olivarez made the start for Wisconsin and allowed three runs and seven base runners in four innings. With the loss, Olivarez fell to 4-12. Nicosia hit two home runs and drove in three for the Spartans. Bianca produced the other run for the Spartans.

Despite UW’s struggles, junior ﬁrst baseman Alexis Garcia plated two runners on a squeeze play against Northwestern Saturday.

10-4) responded quickly in the third period. Senior forward Rylan Kaip notched the ﬁrst North Dakota goal at the 3:33 mark of the ﬁnal period, collecting a pass from freshman forward Matt Frattin and putting it past Connelly to his left. The puck seemed to bounce over Connelly’s left leg pad, one of only a few bounces that had not gone in favor of the Badgers.

Junior forward Ryan Duncan quickly scored the equalizer for North Dakota. After scoring three goals in Saturday’s victory over Princeton, Duncan crossed the blue line and quickly shot the puck from the top of the left circle. The shot seemed invisible, and only the clink of the puck hitting the post as it went into the net signiﬁed the goal. “We fell in there a little bit after those two quick goals,” Drewiske said. “I still felt like we were going to

pull through.” However, even with some momentum still on their side, the Badgers were unable to score that one last goal or get one extra bounce in their favor, giving the Fighting Sioux the advantage and, eventually, the victory. The Badgers made it to the Midwest Regional Final by defeating the Denver Pioneers (26-14-1) 6-2 in Saturday’s semiﬁnal game. A fourgoal third period propelled Wisconsin to victory.

to get open is what makes him such a hard player to guard, but Richards’ passing ability and vision are what allows Curry to actually get his shots off. “On this level Richards is as good with the ball as anyone I have seen,” UW head coach Bo Ryan said. In addition to his 13 assists, Richards did not commit a single turnover.

Badgers’ run ends in Detroit after 73-56 loss to Davidson By Adam Hoge THE DAILY CARDINAL

DETROIT—This was one of those times when Tanner Bronson’s entrance into the game in the closing minutes was not a good thing. With the Badgers trailing by 17 points with one minute and 15 seconds remaining, Bo Ryan raised the white flag, conceding the 7356 loss to Davidson at Ford Field, bringing a sudden end to the winningest season in Wisconsin basketball history. “It’s hard to go out with a loss,” said senior Michael Flowers, who scored a team-high 12 points. “We expected a lot of ourselves. To know that this was the last 40 minutes of your collegiate career, it’s going to take a while to get over.” Nothing went right for the Badgers Friday night in front of a regional record 57,027 fans. They could not touch the post, they failed to get back on defense and in the second half they only managed five buckets. The nation’s top scoring defense suddenly looked penetrable in the Motor City, and Davidson’s talented backcourt was the reason why. All week the matchup between Flowers and Stephen Curry was well documented, and Curry proved to be everything adver-

tised. The sophomore scored a game-high 33 points and outscored the entire Wisconsin team 22-20 in the second half. In his four tournament games, Curry had 128 points. “His conﬁdence is through the roof,” UW junior guard Joe Krabbenhoft said. “He thinks he’s Kobe Bryant out there, and that’s not a knock, that’s a compliment. Every time he put up a shot it went in, it seemed like. He’s unbelievable and it’s going to be fun to watch him play throughout his career.” That’s high praise for a player from the Southern Conference, but as LeBron James looked on from his courtside seat, Curry put on a performance that got even the Cleveland Cavaliers’ star out of his seat numerous times. One of those instances was after a ridiculous layup on a fastbreak where Curry was fouled and spun the ball off the glass after his body had already passed the hoop. Like everything else he threw up Friday night, the ball went in, leaving the massive crowd stuck in one of those “How did he do that?” moments that rivaled some of King James’ best. “He is a phenomenal player and when he is in a rhythm like loss page 7

Loss leaves UW searching for answers By Adam Hoge THE DAILY CARDINAL

DETROIT—In the Ford Field locker room Friday night after their 73-56 loss to Davidson, Badger players sat quietly with a subtle look of confusion on their faces. “We’d like to say it was our fault, but they got us into situations we didn’t want to be in,” junior guard Joe Krabbenhoft said. Nothing added up right for the Badgers in the loss, and the stat sheet reﬂected UW’s failure to execute the equation that led to a school-record 31 wins this season. The Badgers had a big height

advantage, but Davidson outrebounded them 21-14 in the second half and outscored UW 22-18 in the paint on the game. The Wildcats denied the post all game, and when the Badgers went cold from outside in the second half, Stephen Curry and Davidson pulled away. Meanwhile, the nation’s top scoring defense failed to get back in transition, and the result was an 18-2 edge in fastbreak points for the Wildcats. “This game we gave up more transition points than we have the entire year and they took advantage of that,” senior guard Michael

Hughes’ ankle injury keeps him sidelined After scoring 25 points in UW’s second-round win over Kansas State, sophomore guard Trevon Hughes

came to Detroit with conﬁdence, and the Badgers were hoping for big things from their point guard. Eight minutes into Friday’s game, reality pointed in a different direction as Hughes once again suffered an ankle injury, this time to the

right foot. The sophomore briefly returned in the second half but only played 12 minutes in the game and finished 0-for-3 from the field. “It’s always tough when you lose searching page 7

Frozen Four appearance slips away By Nate Carey THE DAILY CARDINAL

JACOB ELA/THE DAILY CARDINAL

The Badgers comfort goalie Shane Connelly after the Fighting Sioux’s Andrew Kozek scored the game-winning goal in overtime.

So close ... and yet so far. The Wisconsin men’s hockey season came to an end Sunday evening, as the Badgers lost in the Midwest Regional Final to the No. 1 seed North Dakota Fighting Sioux 3-2 in overtime at the Kohl Center. After taking a 2-0 lead into the third period, Wisconsin surrendered two goals in 47 seconds and gave up the game-winning goal at the 1:47 mark in overtime. North Dakota senior forwards Rylan Kaip and Ryan Duncan scored the two goals in the third period, while junior forward Andrew Kozek scored the game-winner. Most of the 9,816 fans stood in shock as Kozek gathered a shot that freshman forward Kyle Turris blocked and slid it past junior goaltender Shane Connelly’s right skate, while the small patches of green North Dakota fans erupted in excitement. The loss leaves a bitter taste in

the mouth of Wisconsin players and coaches considering how most of the game went. “We got off to the start that we wanted, had a two-nothing lead and hit about four posts, and couldn’t get that next goal that would have given us a spread that might have been a little harder to come back from,” head coach Mike Eaves said. “[North Dakota] may have worn us down, I’m not sure. But their veteran guys played well at the end and got the job done.” Wisconsin (16-17-7) had multiple chances to score throughout the game but was unable to capitalize on any of those opportunities. Sophomore forward Aaron Bendickson got a puck past North Dakota senior goaltender and Hobey Baker Award semifinalist Jean-Phillipe Lamoureux five minutes into the contest, but head official Matt Shegos called off the goal because of a blown whistle. Later in the period, the Badgers once again came close to scoring, this time on the power play. Turris shot a

wrister from the top of the left circle that hit off the left post, and although the goal light did go off, Shegos once again signaled a no-goal. The Badgers took control of the game in the second period, scoring two goals with a one-man advantage. As an early power play ended, Turris ﬂicked the puck from the top of the left circle diagonally across the ice, hitting sophomore defenseman Jamie McBain in stride. McBain deﬂected the puck past Lamoureux’s left leg pad, giving UW a 1-0 lead. Wisconsin’s lead grew at the 19:21 mark of the second, as freshman defenseman Cody Goloubef’s missed slap shot from the top of the slot resulted in a goal after ricocheting off the boards to the right of the net, bouncing off the ice and then off of Lamoureux’s backside. The goal was Goloubef’s second goal of the regional to happen in such a strange fashion. However, the Fighting Sioux (27slips away page 7
