City of Austin plans to fence off downtown alley to limit crime rates By Hayden Baggett @HaydenBaggett

The City of Austin is preparing to fence off a downtown alley that city officials have described as criminally-active and bad for business. The alley, which runs through the 700 block of Red River Street and connects to Waller Creek, will be blocked by two 10-foot fences, said Joel Sher, chair of Austin’s Downtown Commission. Sher said the decision to fence the space came in mid-January after the Red River Cultural Districts Merchants Association brought the alley to the attention of his commission. “The businesses in the area have an issue with many of the activities that are going on in that alley, and those issues are mainly around criminal activity,” Sher said. “We have been told it’s everything from prostitution to drugs to, I believe, some assaults.” The Merchants Association previously attempted to curb crime in the alley by hiring security and using additional lighting, Sher said, but those measures ultimately backfired. “A private security officer was there at one point in time, and he had actually been assaulted,” Sher said. “That obviously didn’t

Cleaning behind the scenes

UT Custodial Services helps students learn in an organized environment day and night. By Mason Carroll @masonccarroll

rank Zambrano starts his day at 5:30 a.m. by unlocking the 183 campus buildings Custodial Services maintains. He has worked at UT since 1992 and is one of the 448 employees that help keep campus clean. There are 14.8 million square feet maintained by Custodial Services, and each employee is responsible for 33,143 square feet, according to the Facilities Services website. Zambrano said while there is a lot of space, it is their duty to keep it clean. “Yeah, it is a big area we have, but we do our best,” Zambrano said. “There are a lot of reasons (that motivate) me — (from) my family, to coming to work and enjoy the other people here.” The earliest shifts start at 5:30 a.m. and the latest end at 2 a.m., so there are custodians maintaining campus more than 20 hours every day. Zambrano said he works the morning shift to go to his second job in the afternoon. “They give me time to do things (after work) and have a part-time (job),” Zambrano said. “It’s a real nice place and good work at the University of Texas. I really enjoy to be here and help.” Sally Moore, associate director of

mackenzie bentley | the daily texan staff Custodian Frank Zambrano is one of many employees who keep our campus clean and functioning behind the scenes. Zambrano has worked at the University for 27 years.

Custodial Services, has worked at UT since she was 19, and 40 years later, she is still trying to inspire change around campus. “I enjoy working in the University environment because the diversity of it is probably far greater than you’d get in any other job,” Moore said. “I’ve also enjoyed bringing in improvement into the workplace and making jobs easier and better for all of our employees.” One change Moore has pushed for since she was promoted to associate director is increasing wages. In 2017, the custodian starting wage was increased from $11 to $13 per hour. Moore said they are still working for better wages.

“That helped a little bit, but we would like to raise the pay again to keep up with a living wage and help our retention and be able to attract applicants more easily,” Moore said. “But we just don’t have that money figured out quite yet.” Zambrano said most students are quiet and do not bother the custodians, but economics sophomore Angela Kwak said their hard work does not go unnoticed. “Students and professors manage their own spaces, but outside of that, somebody has to do the job of the cleaning and the organizing,” Kwak said. “So (their job) is important to the function of the University.”

After spending almost four decades at UT, Moore said she has learned to be patient, and she is thankful for the dedication from the people she works with. “I am proud of them, and they do hard work without a whole lot of thanks sometimes,” Moore said. “We try to make sure that they know we appreciate them.” UT has become a second home for Zambrano, and he said he is grateful for the job he has. “You expect to work here all your life until you retire,” Zambrano said. “Especially when you work in a place like this, you really enjoy and get up and thank God for another day.”

New initiative aims to assist employee victims

UTPD investigating CapMetro collision

By Emily Hernandez @emilylhernandez

University employees now have an additional campus resource provided by their coworkers that is solely for them — the Victims Advocate Network. The Victims Advocate Network is a group of specially-trained UT staff volunteers who work with the UT Police Department to respond to calls from distressed faculty who have been victims of crime or bystanders in an incident. The responding UTPD officer calls a VAN volunteer to the scene when they think the victim could benefit from psychological first aid and connection to more long-term resources. Psychological first aid includes validation of the emotions the victims are experiencing and letting them know it is okay to seek further help, such as counseling. “Everybody knows about CPR and even recently, there’s been the Stop the Bleed campaign, like being able to stop people’s physical wounds, but mental health

is a big issue too,” VAN volunteer Monica Kortsha said. “Being able to have someone be that mental health first responder (allows) people to handle their emotions and not feel completely overwhelmed in that situation.” Kortsha, a science writer at the Jackson School of Geosciences, said she worked at a crisis hotline and said it’s good for UT to establish this program alongside UTPD. “I know it can be super intimidating, along with having something horrible happen to you, (to have) somebody showing up in a uniform and a badge,” Kortsha said. “We’re not police officers. We show up in an orange vest and blankets and those little squeezy balls if people need a stress ball. It allows the police officers to focus on their job, too.” VAN has been active for about a week since UTPD Chief David Carter announced the program in a campus-wide email, and they have responded to one call since the program started.

joshua guenther | the daily texan staff A CapMetro bus is towed after a fatal accident at the corner of San Jacinto Boulevard and East 23rd Street. UTPD responded to the accident, which occurred Monday night, and closed off a portion of San Jacinto Boulevard.

By Emily Hernandez @emilylhernandez

A man was pronounced dead on the scene after he collided with a Capital Metro bus near Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Monday night. The man dead was pronounced dead by Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services after responding to a report of a person trapped under a CapMetro bus at the corner of San Jacinto Boulevard and East 23rd Street, according to two of their tweets Monday. In a press conference held a few hours after the incident, UT Police Chief David Carter said the bus and the cyclist were both heading northbound on San Jacinto Blvd. when the collision happened. There were eight people aboard the bus and no one else was injured, Carter said. UTPD tweeted Tuesday afternoon

We extend our deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of the deceased.”

CAPMETRO

the medical examiner confirmed the victim was not a student or staff member of UT. UTPD spokesperson Noelle Newton said UTPD is hoping to get the name of the victim today, and they are currently interviewing witnesses and investigating the accident. In another tweet, UTPD asked for passengers who were on the bus during the crash and left the scene before police arrived to call 512-4714441, ext. 9 to speak with a detective. The portion of San Jacinto Boulevard that was closed when UTPD was on the scene of the crash has since been reopened. CapMetro said they are working with APD and UTPD in an active investigation and cannot provide further details in a statement released Tuesday morning. “We extend our deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of the deceased,” the statement said.

LEGISLATURE

Bipartisan team of lawmakers propose beer-to-go bill By Chad Lyle @lylechad

Two state legislators from across the aisle are working together to legalize the sale of beer that can be taken to-go from craft breweries. Rep. Eddie Rodriguez, D-Austin, and Sen. Dawn Buckingham, R-Lakeway, introduced companion bills in the House and Senate that are designed to give craft brewers a privilege other alcohol distributors in Texas already have. “I have many craft breweries in my district — just off the top of my head I can count five,” Rodriguez said. “I mean, I’m a business-friendly Democrat … the epitome of small business is these craft brewers. And it’s a shame that we have a state law that’s not only unjustifiable — it’s antiquated and it limits their growth.” Wineries and distilleries can sell their respective beverages to-go. Charles Vallhonrat, the executive director of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild, said passing beer-to-go legislation is important because it provides craft brewers an opportunity to grow a loyal customer base. “The ability to take that beer home creates a broader experience for the person who goes to the tap room,” Vallhonrat said. “There’s a little bit more attachment to the brand, and that brand experience may get shared with friends and neighbors so they may build interest in the beer.” Vallhonrat also said the inability of craft breweries to sell beerto-go causes them to miss out on a significant marketing opportunity.

“There is a tourism aspect to this as well that benefits all of Texas,” Vallhonrat said. “With the craft beer industry growing as it is around the nation, people are accustomed to going to a brewery, visiting it and maybe taking a little bit of that trip home with them. And that’s what we’re trying to offer in Texas.” In a statement, Buckingham said she filed her version of the beer-togo bill to benefit her district’s economy. “Senate District 24 is home to many craft breweries,” she said in the statement. “And with Texas being the only state in the country that does not permit off-premise sales at production breweries, I have filed SB 312 to encourage further economic development in my Senate District and to eliminate this unnecessary government overreach.” Although Rodriguez and Buckingham have formed a bipartisan alliance to pass beer-to-go legislation, Rodriguez said there is still opposition to it by beer distributors. “The beer distributors, the lobby group, is very much against it. They don’t really have a legitimate reason as to why,” Rodriguez said. “This is like 1 percent, maybe, of the beer sold in Texas, and it’s not going to get cut into the profits of the major beer distributors.” However, Rodriguez said he is not deterred by the beer lobby’s opposition to beer-to-go. “I am up against a very powerful lobby that does kind of throw their weight around,” Rodriguez said. “But you know at some point, the time comes to just make that change, and this might be the very session to do it.”

Last fall was marked by multiple student protests, including the Young Conservatives of Texas tabling on West Mall and Turning Point USA’s debate with Charlie Kirk. In the case protests become violent or involve criminal activity, the UT Police Department has two forms of crisis response: the Mobile Field Force and de-escalation. UTPD’s Mobile Field Force was formed in 2015 and involves all 104 of UTPD’s commissioned police officers. UTPD Lt. Robert Stock was one of two lieutenants who received Mobile Field Force training in 2015. He said the Mobile Field Force provides a rapid, organized and disciplined response to civil disorder, crowd control or other frenzied situations. “Once we got trained, we came back and started teaching all of our officers and sergeants how crowd

Romberg responded to the call of an employee having her purse stolen. “I could tell she was very frightened of somebody coming into her space and taking something of hers,” said Romberg, an admissions office manager. “I think that’s really important to know, through our training, that people need to be heard. By listening to the person, I felt that I was helping her in some way.” VAN coordinator Mayra Sigala-Ramon said the idea for this program grew from an incident a few years ago in which an employee died on campus, and their friends and coworkers needed support, but there was not enough capacity within the existing Employee Assistance Program to meet employee needs. “They only have three

full-time counselors serving 22,000 employees at the University, so they realized that there is a gap in services for staff members,” Sigala-Ramon said. “UTPD and the Employee Assistance Program have been working on this idea and finally got the grant to start the program earlier this year.” VAN is responding to daytime calls and will hopefully include nighttime calls in three weeks, Sigala-Ramon said. There are currently seven VAN volunteers, and Sigala-Ramon said the goal is to have 40. The next volunteer information session is March 28, and there is additional information on the VAN website. “Every person needs help sometimes,” Romberg said. “I do believe that VAN will actually help to do away with the stigma of thinking that all adults are just strong people and can deal with their problems on their own.”

UTPD officers also receive crisis intervention and de-escalation training. UTPD Sgt. Brian Dillenberger said the training was designed to help officers with their actions in a crisis situation. “We use it when we’re

trying to de-escalate and trying to get a suspect or person in crisis to respond to our commands or to tone down the situation we’re dealing with,” Dillenberger said. “It’s necessary because it makes the scene safer and lowers our use of force.”

During the Stand with Survivors rally last October, rally co-organizer Angel Bierce said she didn’t feel comfortable with the police presence on Speedway. “Police are not a helpful presence during campus protests because oftentimes, cops only protect those who they agree with,” psychology sophomore Bierce said. “I can’t even imagine Mobile Field Force being used … UT cares more about keeping the peace, thus implementing a police force, rather than looking at the causes of protests.” Stock said one of the core objectives of the Mobile Field Force was to protect free speech. “We’re there so people can demonstrate and have free speech and do it peacefully,” Stock said. “Sometimes some people don’t want that, and when they get violent and want to destroy property, the Mobile Field Force is trained to respond and make sure that they keep order. Luckily that’s never happened, and I’m hoping it stays that way.”

Freshman House lawmakers discuss motivations for running

joshua guenther | the daily texan staff State Rep. Julie Johnson, D-Dallas, concludes Monday, Jan. 28 on the House floor of the Texas Capitol. While attending UT, Johnson visited the Capitol with her class and decided to run for office to better represent women.

By Katie Balevic @KatelynBalevic

State Rep. Vikki Goodwin, D-Austin, never thought she would be a legislator, but her concern for public education persuaded her otherwise. “I didn’t think I would run for office because I’m not the most outgoing person,” Goodwin said. “But … I feel passionately about public education and putting money toward that, so I decided I just needed to run

for office.” Goodwin was inspired from watching her mother work on the Dallas ISD school board to improve urban schools. “The large urban schools tend to get a bad reputation, and she wanted to change that,” Goodwin said. “I considered being on the school board, but I felt like they needed more support in the Legislature.” Goodwin graduated from UT with a business administration degree and went on to earn her master’s

from the LBJ School of Public Affairs. Her advice to students is to join organizations and take leadership roles. “Every student should find a group of like-minded students and get involved,” Goodwin said. “One thing will lead to another, and you might end up running for office yourself.” While Goodwin was unsure about running for office, state Rep. Julie Johnson, D-Dallas, was inspired to run after a class she took at UT. “In one of my government classes, we got to come (to the Texas

Capitol) and play legislator on the House floor,” Johnson said. “I’ve always remembered that, and to be able to now be a member of the House is so cool. It’s a full circle moment.” Johnson said she ran for office because she wanted to see more women in positions of political power in Texas. “I was very frustrated with the current state of politics in our state and nation, and I felt like women needed to stand up,” Johnson said. “We needed more voices, and I thought I

could be one of those voices.” Although she has been fundraising for presidential candidates since 2000, Johnson said she was still nervous when it was her turn to be on the ballot. “It’s scary and inviting and exciting all at the same time to wonder what is it going to be like and are people going to want to vote for me,” Johnson said. “You have to go seize opportunities where you can. I had an opportunity to run for this seat, and I jumped in.”

Grants aid UT in childhood obesity studies By Savana Dunning @savanaish

The UT Health Science Center at Houston received two grants this month totaling $3.7 million to aid the City of Austin’s efforts to combat childhood obesity. The larger of the grants, with ha price tag of $2.5 million, will go -toward an evaluation of the City’s lSafe Routes to School program, lwhich encourages students to ewalk or bike ride to school rather than using a car or bus. The lsmaller grant of $1.2 million, sawarded by the Texas Depart,ment of State Health Services, owill go toward the School Physiycal Activity and Nutrition survey, Ian effort by the state through eUT Health to monitor obesity in Tschool-age children across Texas. g Deanna Hoelscher, regional -dean of UT Health’s School of rPublic Health in Austin, applied sfor the grant to fund an evaluation of the effectiveness of Safe eRoutes to School’s infrastruceture spending, called Safe Travtel Environment Evaluation in Texas Schools. “One of our (goals) is to make e the world healthier, and part of e that is making the environment in which we live conducive to healthy behaviors,” Hoelscher t said. “When you put these int frastructure changes in place, it y makes it more likely that kids will d be more physically active at least d a couple times a day, and we want y to make the healthy choice the s easy choice.” m In 2016, Austin voters approved $720 million in bonds to be set aside for transportation and mobility improvements across the city. Of those bonds, $27.5 million were designated for Safe Routes to School to spend

on improving infrastructure to make walking to school safer for students. Amir Emamian, program coordinator for Safe Routes to School, said at first, the program hired crossing guards and provided educational material to classrooms, but the bond money has allowed the program to expand. “What this has given us is the ability to say, ‘Hey we have the funds to pay for this, can you go ahead and do it now?’” Emamian said. “Whereas before it was like, ‘Can you find the funds to do this?’ These children are going to be our future, and we want them to be as healthy as possible. We want them to have that mindset that places are bikeable or walkable.” Layla Esposito, child development and behavior program director at the National Institutes of Health, said her department funded Hoelscher’s evaluation into the program because of its applicability to other Safe Routes to School programs in the U.S. “There hasn’t been a really

| the daily texan staff

large-scale evaluation of Safe Routes to School programming to know whether or not it has a big impact on physical activity levels in kids,” Esposito said. “We know that, in response to the obesity epidemic, there are lots of policies and programs that are being put into place by local, state or federal governments, and we don’t know whether or not they work because a lot of times they’re funded without an evaluation component.” Hoelscher said the smaller grant for School Physical Activity and Nutrition would fund the measures necessary to analyze the health of school-age children across Texas. “There are data on high school students through the Youth Risk Behavior Survey at the Texas level, but there are no data for middle school or elementary school kids that are similar,” Hoelscher said. “It’s good for the state to have this data because the state oversees school policies, so you can look at it and see if (those policies are) making a difference or not.”

work out, and the expense of having a full-time patrol officer down there is prohibitive.” Cody Cowan, executive director of the Merchants Association, discussed how crime has impacted the community in the meeting with the Downtown Commission on Jan. 16. Cowan said the alleyway is surrounded by a quarter of Austin’s music venues and a community of homeless people. “A small piece of that community is folks who have extreme mental illness and addiction problems,” Cowan said during the meeting. “Adjacent to that we have criminal organizations that are utilizing those addicts and mentally-ill folks to help them in their drug and sex

trades, and they’re preying upon the homeless and the guests that we have at Red River.” Cowan said the fences will not solve underlying social problems, but without them, the alley will remain “a magnet and an anchor for criminal behavior downtown.” Cowan did not respond to The Daily Texan’s request for comment. Sher said the Downtown Commission voted to recommend the fence installation to Austin City Council, and the council allocated funds for the fence through the Economic Development Department. However, Sher said the cost hasn’t been determined. Sher said the city is currently searching for a contractor to construct the fences, which will likely be completed in three to four months. Christopher Lehman, Downtown Commission

board member, abstained in the commission’s vote to recommend the fences. Lehman said the fences will only move the problem, not stop it. “Getting them out of your neighborhood doesn’t really solve it for the next neighborhood they move into,” Lehman said at the meeting. Alikhan Virani, economics and architecture junior, said he occasionally visits the alley’s surrounding area. Virani said he disagrees with the plan for fences because they will likely displace the homeless people that use the alley as an encampment. Virani said the city should substitute the fences with programs that help the people who reside in the alley. “If the city of Austin is going as far to put up fences, which isn’t cheap, they could help these people instead,” Virani said.

UT should give a mandatory presentation on birth control options at orientation By Julia Zaksek Columnist

Sixty-three percent of UT students reported being sexually active in Spring 2017. However, over half of these students reported not using any form of contraception during penetrative intercourse. UT needs to inform students about STD prevention and the birth control options available to students. At orientation, each college holds mandatory presentations where students can learn about services available to them on campus, such as those offered by the UT Police Department and the Counseling and Mental Health Center. However, there are no mandatory presentations on University Health Services and the healthcare available to students during the presentations — including birth control options. A mandatory information session on sexual health would benefit students by increasing awareness of sexual health and birth control options. “Honestly, I didn’t know that UT offered birth control at all,” said Madison King, a radio-television-film freshman. UT has numerous birth control options available for students through UHS,

including birth control pills, birth control injections and intrauterine devices, according to Sherry Bell, the UHS consumer education and outreach coordinator. Despite the availability of these resources, 20 percent of sexually active UT students report using an emergency contraceptive, such as Plan B, after intercourse in the last year. At UT, 2.2 percent of students have chlamydia and 0.8 percent of students have gonorrhea. With low rates of contraception use, high STD rates and relatively high rates of emergency contraception use, UT needs to change how they inform students about their sexual health. Learning about birth control before new students fully transition to college would help students ensure they know how to access birth control and what kind of birth control to access. “I wouldn’t know how to set up an appointment to get birth control on campus and what kind of birth control to ask for,” King said. Bell said students can learn about birth control options on the Healthy Horns website. Although students can find information about birth control online, a mandatory,

in-person presentation by a health professional ensures that all students know how to avoid STDs and unintended pregnancy. “It’s not a secret that kids have sex, and information on birth control could be discussed, even briefly discussed, when talking about services on campus,” King said. Open discussion about sexual health reduces the stigma surrounding sex and contraception and could encourage students to explore their birth control and safety options early so they can be prepared to access birth control, if necessary, when they arrive on campus. The burden of finding the right birth control should not fall solely on students’ shoulders. “Talking about sex is important,” King said. “Talking about it only makes it safer for everyone, and I think more knowledge about contraception options would encourage contraception use.” The way birth control information is shared — or really, not shared — is not working. UT students need to know more about contraception options and their sexual health, and UT must begin the conversation during orientation. Zaksek is a Plan II and women’s and gender studies freshman from Allen.

It’s time for students to rethink the harmful rhetoric of authenticity By Angélica López Associate Editor

How can anyone call this restaurant authentic? Where can I find some real food? When I first moved to Austin, I frequently found myself saying this every time I visited a low-quality taqueria. Why weren’t there any restaurants near campus that offered tacos like the ones from my home in the Rio Grande Valley? Why did every tortilla taste like it had been microwaved? Why were black beans so popular? While I certainly ate a lot of tacos around campus that didn’t meet my personal standards, I can now admit that thinking in terms of authenticity wasn’t the best approach. Instead of calling a restaurant or cuisine authentic, students should focus on what type of food they enjoy. Here’s why: An article recently published in “Eater New York” asserted that the term “authentic” reinforces the idea that nonwhite restaurants must be inexpensive or unclean in order to deserve the title “authentic” — a form of white supremacy. In addition to perpetuating racist stereotypes, this rhetoric can also make it difficult for a person of color to succeed in a market that demands authentic food and only believes its authenticity if it is cheap or comes from an impoverished place. Inspired by this article, which examined around 20,000 Yelp reviews, I decided to look at popular restaurants around campus to get a better idea of how frequently this rhetoric is used by students. I found that several restaurants around

UT have been described as “authentic” on Yelp. A quick search of the top ten restaurants in West Campus ranks Don Japanese Kitchen as the number one restaurant in the area. Six reviews use the word “authentic” to describe Don. Ranked number two, Julie’s Handmade Noodles has 38 reviews that include “authentic.” Halal Bros, another West Campus favorite, has nine reviews that mention authenticity. Clearly, authenticity is something that UT students value. “The term itself is not problematic, but its usage sometimes is,” wrote UT graduate Allison Huynh in a message. Applying the term “authentic” also has the potential to suggest that one type of food or restuarant is representative of an entire country, race, or ethnicity. For example, saying a restaurant serves authentic Mexican food completely ignores the vast regional variety that exists across Mexico. Of course, it’s one thing to call a restaurant authentic when you know little about the culture from which it originates and another when you’re speaking from the perspective of your own culture. According to Huynh, when people of color use the word “authentic,” they compare it to their own experiences and cultures. This isn’t always the case for people of a different racial background using the term to describe another culture’s cuisine. Instead of calling a restaurant or cultural space “authentic,” students should instead focus on what they enjoy about a restaurant. Don’t worry about whether or not a

restaurant is authentic enough — own your tastes and interests. “I realized that when I have the urge to say ‘authentic’ sometimes, I actually mean traditional — as in more culturally appropriate and true-to-roots foods as opposed to Americanized and/or fusion dishes,” Huynh wrote.

However you decide to describe a restaurant, avoid using the term “authentic.” Given the diversity of restaurants that exists around campus, there are countless descriptors that better communicate restaurant quality, atmosphere and overall experience.

STUDENT LIFE

Get rest, put all-nighters to bed Students discuss how to remain healthy in the new semester. By Romi Geller @macaromes

tudents returning from winter break with memories of sleepless nights studying still fresh in their minds have the choice to either adopt a new routine or settle into their lifestyles from last semester. Without the watchful eyes of their parents, many students struggle to develop a routine focused on academics without pushing aside their sleep schedule, nutrition and exercise. Some attest that self-destructive routines during college you are like vomit in a West Campus a r e elevator on a Saturday night: going to unavoidable.

Oof, these Forty

Although it may be hard for college students to prioritize these aspects along with their other responsibilities, Gonzalez-Lima said prioritizing and setting a strict schedule, although difficult, is exactly what students must do to achieve a healthy lifestyle. “If you don’t plan, you start improving and substituting one activity with another,” Gonzalez-Lima said. “This leads to a disorganized itinerary, and your body gets confused and you start having health issues.” For chemistry sophomore Carolyn Henein, sacrificing her health is not on her checklist for being a successful college student. Instead, Henein focuses on a schedule which she said enables her to be a better student in and out of the classroom. “I would say the first thing to prioritize would be your sleep schedule, because once you got your sleep times set, then you have your disposable time set,” Henein said. “Maybe then, you realize you have more time in the day.” Henein said negative peer pressure does not affect her because of her healthy routine and the people she surrounds herself with. “If someone told me, ‘Oh my gosh, I was really productive today and I got a good amount of sleep,’ then that would positively influence me,” Henein said. “Not to mention, sleep is good for you. Better sleep and more consistent sleep is just going to make you more focused.”

Not this time: Texas downs Kansas Longhorns’ offense wakes up — and stays up — to get past Jayhawks in season-saving win. By Steve Helwick @s_helwick

en losses, five years, two coaches, immeasurable heartbreak. All of that pent-up emotion finally flowed free when center Jaxson Hayes corralled the final rebound and the red lights of the backboard illuminated the Frank Erwin Center. There was jubilation at its purest form at the center of the arena several seconds later. Texas had finally beaten Kansas. “Before this game, I was 0-of-7 versus KU,” shooting guard Kerwin Roach II said. “Now, I’m 1–v7 — I’m taking it. It’s very hard to get a win versus KU.” Prior to Tuesday night’s 73-63 triumph, the Longhorns nearly attained the feat at the Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 14. Point guard Matt Coleman dished the ball off to his backcourt partner, Jase Febres, but Febres’ final heave clanked off the rim. In a redemptive effort, Febres was the pioneer to guide Texas on a trail the team hadn’t walked on since 2014. “He’s a work in progress,” head coach Shaka Smart said. “He’s still a long way from being the confident grown man that he will be by the end of his career here, so we’re just trying to continue to breathe life in him and get him to understand how good he can be.” Facing Kansas’ tenacious full-court press with the Jayhawks on a run, Roach dumped the ball to Dylan Osetkowski. The power forward scouted the floor and found Coleman open down the right side of the hardwood. With numbers on the fastbreak, Coleman delivered a bullet pass across the court in the

corner to Febres, who connected on a three with 6:04 remaining to secure a 51-45 lead. About 90 seconds later, Febres sunk a triple from the top of the key to extend the lead to nine. “I believe he’s a really, really good shooter,” Smart said. “If we can get him eight good looks from three like we did tonight, I like his chances of making three or four of those.” Then, the fireworks exploded with 100 seconds remaining. Once again from the corner, Febres completed the trilogy. The shooting guard hit his third three — in the final seven minutes to advance Texas’ lead to 63-56. With the lead semingly insurmountable, Febres’

final three will continue to ring through the halls of the Erwin Center as the shot that shattered the Longhorns’ losing streak against Kansas. “It feels great, but it’s more about we needed to win this game for us regardless of who the opponent was,” Smart said. “I think our guys had a sense of confidence going into this game because of the way we played (in Lawrence).” Even sweeter for Texas is the snapping of another streak: a two-game losing skid. The win over No. 11 Kansas — winner of 14 consecutive Big 12 regular season titles — catapults the Longhorns back in the 2019 March

Madness conversation. It was the statement conference win Texas has craved since Feb. 1, 2014, when a Rick Barnes-coached Longhorns team knocked off the No. 6 Jayhawks led by Joel Embiid and Andrew Wiggins. Texas lost its fifth game in six tries at Georgia last Saturday but now has momentum going forward after knocking off the conference’s kingpin. “We need to continue to take it one game at a time and put winning above everything,” Osetkowski said. “Tonight was a game we could have won or we could have lost. If we continue to do the right things, we can get on a roll.”

Longhorns exorcise Kansas demons, pick up first win in eleven tries By Robert Larkin @r_larkintexas

It felt like it could all slip away. The 11-point lead, the win against the No. 11 team in the country, Shaka Smart’s first ever victory against Big 12 tyrant Kansas. All of it. Four points separated Texas and Kansas with just under two minutes remaining, and perhaps the smart bet was on the Jayhawks pulling through. But then guard Matt Coleman escaped past a Kansas defender, toed the half-court line and found guard Jase Febres in the corner for his third consecutive three. The Texas guards broke a Kansas press to find center Jaxson Hayes for an easy dunk at the other end of the floor. And when guard Kerwin Roach II was at the free throw line, he converted. When matters became too close for comfort, the Longhorns pulled away like they had done all night, securing a 73-63 upset victory over the Jayhawks on Tuesday night. “We talked about before the game in a players-only

meeting, we knew what we had to do,” forward Dylan Osetkowski said. “Coach always talks about being the aggressor, being the team that does more of what goes into winning. I think we did that tonight.” After giving up a season-high 98 points against Georgia on Saturday, the Longhorns’ winning effort was rooted in a defensive identity that limited the Big 12’s second-best offense to just 63 points, 14 points below its season average. It was a defensive presence felt from the opening tip. Texas focused its efforts on preventing Kansas’ big men, including star forward Dedric Lawson, from establishing an inside presence in the early going and was able to prevent the Kansas guards from getting substantial penetration off the dribble. As a result, the Longhorns held Kansas to just 23 points and forced eight turnovers in the first period to take a 32-26 lead into the break. In the second half, the Longhorns relied on Osetkowski and Hayes. While Hayes

secured the paint for the Longhorns on the defensive end and corralled a team-high five rebounds in the period, the Texas offense consistently found ways to put the ball in Osetkowski’s hands. Osetkowski responded with exceptional post moves on the low block and converting free throws at the line when he was fouled making a move to the bucket. When the night concluded, the duo had combined for 29 points and 13 rebounds. “I thought Jaxson did a really good job, he blocked a couple of guards’ shots and bothered Dedric all night with his length,” Kansas head coach Bill Self said. “Osetkowski was really good tonight. He took shots that were there, rebounded and played to his size.” But despite its efforts, Kansas was able to close the gap on several occasions throughout the half. The Jayhawks shrunk the Longhorns’ lead to five points or fewer on nine different occasions. Texas, however, responded each time. Febres hit three critical

3-point shots. Osetkowski, Hayes and Roach made their free throws when they got to the line. And when Texas needed to force stops, it got them on possessions in the final minute. It was the type of result

Texas needed at a crossroad in its season. As Shaka Smart’s team moves into the crux of its conference schedule, he wants to see his players take advantage of the opportunity in front of them. “I think there are guys on

our team who realize there aren’t a ton of opportunities for them left in college basketball, so they need to take advantage,” Smart said. “But you don’t win it with a couple guys. It has to be every guy out there.”
