cruz holds on After intense campaign, O’Rourke loses Senate race. By Chad Lyle @LyleChad

ncumbent Republican Ted Cruz held onto his seat in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday night, holding off an energetic and well-funded challenge from Democratic Congressman Beto O’Rourke. In his victory speech, Cruz described the outcome of the campaign as an indicator of Texas values. “This election wasn’t about me, and it wasn’t about Beto O’Rourke,” Cruz said. “This election was a battle of ideas. It was a contest for who we are and what we believe. It was a contest, and the people of Texas decided this race.” The Associated Press called the race for Cruz at 9:35 p.m. Central Time after early voting returns initially indicated a tight race. At press time, The New York Times projected that Cruz would win by 3 percentage points. During the campaign, Cruz doubled down on his support for former rival and current U.S. President Donald Trump to boost turnout among conservatives. Trump campaigned with Cruz in Houston on the first day of early voting and said the senator was a crucial part of passing his policy agenda. “Nobody has helped me more with your tax cuts, with your regulations, all of the things we’ve been doing with your military

and your vets, than Senator Ted Cruz,” Trump said during the Houston rally. O’Rourke’s challenge to Cruz made for one of the most competitive Senate races in recent Texas history, with the former shattering fundraising records and frequently generating national headlines.

O’Rourke raised about $70 million without accepting contributions from political action committees, while Cruz raised $33.4 million with the help of PAC money. In spite of doubling the senator’s fundraising totals, O’Rourke was unable to oust the firebrand incum-

Tovo reelected to third term on City Council, avoids runoff

Democrats dominate US House of Representatives, gain needed 23 seats

By Sami Sparber & Meara Isenberg @samisparber @mearaann

Incumbent council member Kathie Tovo defeated three challengers in Tuesday’s election to once again represent District 9 on the Austin City Council. “It’s really been an extraordinary honor to serve the people of Austin in this capacity, and I look forward to continuing to do so over the next four years,” Tovo said at her election night event. “This is a very exciting time for the City of Austin, and it’s also a challenging one.” With 53 percent of the vote, Tovo came out on top. Challenger Danielle Skidmore, a transportation engineer, trailed 21 percentage points behind. Both Tovo and Skidmore finished significantly ahead of their opponents, who received less than 20 percent of the vote between them. In her third term, Tovo said she will focus on ending homelessness and promoting affordable housing in the district, which encompasses downtown, West Campus and parts of

South Austin. “We still have some great challenges ahead of us, and one I care about and work in partnership with many of you

on is ending homeless in this community for every individual who’s currently sleeping on the streets or in unstable and unsafe housing,” Tovo said.

“I’m hopeful that in these years ahead, we can forge a path that works well for everybody and preserves what we love about this city … but also embraces the need for change in ways that are appropriate.” Skidmore, a transgender woman, would have been the first transgender person elected to public office in Texas. In her concession speech, she said she will continue fighting for the LGBTQ community. “Change is hard,” Skidmore said. “It doesn’t come easy. It doesn’t come quickly, but we keep fighting for what we know and what we believe in. Austin is my home, and we’re not going anywhere. We’re going to keep fighting. We’re going to keep fighting for representation … we are going to keep fighting for equality for the LGBTQIA community.” At Tovo’s event, social worker Kurt Cadena-Mitchell said he appreciates Tovo’s work on behalf of the city’s residents. “Kathie Tovo is a fighter for workers and their families,” Cadena-Mitchell said. “I’ve always been able to depend on Kathie to fight for social and economic

While Republicans held onto the U.S. Senate, the Democratic Party gained control of the U.S. House of Representatives last night after eight years of Republican control. “A Democratic congress will work for solutions that bring us together, because we have all had enough of division,” said Nancy Pelosi, minority House leader, in an address to the public. The party needed to gain 23 seats to flip control of the house. At press time, they had gained 25 seats, according to The New York Times. At press time, Democrats held 10 of 36 seats in Texas districts and flipped two, Districts 7 and 32. Another district, 23, was still undecided but Republican incumbent Will Hurd was leading. The Republican Party held seats in Congressional Districts 10, 21 and 25 after neck-and-neck races. “Texas is still a Republican state, and there are just more Republicans than there are Democrats,” said Gary Teal, executive director of the Travis County Republican Party.

Chip Roy won U.S. House District 21 in a tight race against Democrat Joseph Kopser. At press time, Roy held 51 percent of the votes, followed by Kopser with 47

Roy said he is committed to using his position to fixing what he believes is broken in Washington. “I’ve worked in the bowels of ‘the swamp’ if you will,” Roy previously told The Daily Texan. “What’s broken is the extent to which the representatives that we send to Washington are not actually working for us. They’re not working towards the ends that the people want.’” Republican incumbent Roger Williams will represent U.S. House District 25 for a fourth term, after a win against Democrat Julie Oliver. At press time, Williams had 54 percent of the vote, which was 10 percentage points higher than Oliver. “I know what it’s like for a party to not be able to win races. It’s tempting to make jokes about meeting in a phone booth,” Teal said. “The truth is, the only place in town we can meet is Memorial Stadium because there were 85,000 people who voted in the Republican primary. That’s a lot of people.”

the night when Austin moves forward … I want to thank the community for the incredible honor of being mayor of this city for another four years.” Adler ran a campaign centered on improving Austin’s transportation and affordability issues. During his victory speech, he spoke against bond propositions J and K, calling them

“dark and secret money,” and said he was excited to move forward on developing plans for high-capacity transit, as well as beginning a $250 million spending plan for affordable housing. “This community has said very clearly that they want us to do things not as we’ve done them in the past, but (to) act in big ways to address

the big challenges we have,” Adler said. “We have been given a mandate and we need to deliver.” In her concession speech, Morrison said she was disappointed by the result and would have loved to have broken the “rather pathetic” record of only one female mayor in the past 179 years. “I think that needs to change

and I think we all need to have a close look and wonder what exactly that says about (Austin),” Morrison said. Morrison urged attendees to continue the work her campaign started. “We need to get back at it because this city is too important and there are too many important things on the table for us to just walk away,” Morrison said.

Getting to be with and to see all of you tonight reminds me why we set out to do this in the first place.” Cruz offered words of unity to O’Rourke’s supporters while delivering his victory speech. “Let me say to all of those who worked on his campaign,

all of those who were inspired, that I am your senator as well,” Cruz said. Taylor Frontera, the president of UT’s College Republicans, said Cruz’s victory is a reminder that he still shares the opinions of a majority of Texans. “Republicans have shown, specifically within Texas, that they know what Texans

want,” said Frontera, an international relations and global studies senior. “Senator Ted Cruz is the one who stands for Texas values and gets the job done, and does what his c onstituents want.” Before the race had been called by most news outlets, Diego Britton, a government junior who volunteered for O’Rourke’s campaign, said

even in the face of a loss, he was hopeful for the future. “There are no regrets within this campaign because if we don’t win this race it certainly wasn’t for a lack of effort,” Britton said. “I’ll be sad, I’ll be disappointed, but I won’t be devastated because I’ll know that all this means is that it just wasn’t our time yet. Texas is changing.”

Sabino “Pio” Renteria and challenger Susana Almanza could advance to a Dec. 11 runoff. With 48 percent of the vote at press time, Renteria was short of the majority total needed to avoid the runoff. Almanza, Renteria’s sister and director of a local nonprofit, had 22 percent at press time. The top two vote-getters in District 1, which encompasses central, east and northeast

Austin, are also headed to a runoff. Mariana Salazar and Natasha Harper-Madison led the pack in a crowded race to replace council member Ora Houston, who did not seek re-election. Houston is Austin’s only African-American representative on the Council. At press time, Salazar had a narrow lead over Harper-Madison, and each had about a quarter of the total votes cast.

Incumbent Republican Greg Abbott won the election for governor for his second term by 14 points Tuesday night, defeating Democratic candidate Lupe Valdez. Abbott thanked Texans for electing him for a second term at his

election night watch party at Brazos Hall in downtown Austin. He said despite different campaigns that have “battled under different banners,” Texans should work together regardless of party affiliation. “It is time for us to work toward that shared vision of a brighter future for Texas and put behind us the differences of the campaigns,” Abbott said. “As Texans, the bonds that we share

transcend our differences.” Moments before his speech, Abbott said he received a phone call from Valdez who congratulated him on his victory. “I told her what I want to tell all Texans, and that is whether you voted for me or against me, or didn’t vote at all, I’m going to go to work every single day working for everybody in this great state,” Abbott said. Valdez spoke to a crowd

at the Travis County Democrats watch party at the Driskill Hotel downtown about Gov. Abbott’s win. “Tonight I congratulated and concede to my opponent Gov. Abbott and thanked him for an aggressive, passionate and civil fight,” said Valdez, a former Dallas County Sheriff. “I wish you well over the next few years and hope that you continue to work hard and make sure that all Texans are heard.”

Valdez thanked her staff and voters for supporting her during her campaign as the first Latina and first LGBTQ woman nominee for state governor. “This was always said to be an uphill battle, and I admire you all so much for choosing to fight it anyway because as you’ve heard me say time and time again, what other kind of battle is there than uphill battles?” Valdez said.

Texas Republicans successfully, narrowly defend statewide offices By Savana Dunning @savanaish

Republican incumbents kept their seats in the six statewide non-judicial positions up for re-election this Tuesday. Some of the positions up for re-election included the lieutenant governor, who presides over the State Senate, and attorney general, who represents Texas in civil litigation. Republican incumbent Dan Patrick defeated Democratic opponent Mike Collier in his bid for re-election to lieutenant governor, the second-highest executive position in Texas. “Why are we here? To tell Beto O’Rourke and the Democrats, we’re not turning Texas into California. Not on our watch. Not now, not ever,” Patrick said at a rally, according to

the Austin American-Statesman. “We love Trump!” After a close race, and despite two felony indictments, Republican incumbent Ken Paxton will also serve another four years as Texas Attorney General, beating Democratic opponent Justin Nelson, a UT law professor. “It’s a great honor to serve as your attorney general,” Paxton said on Twitter Tuesday night. “Thank you, Texas!” Nelson spoke at the Travis County Democrats election watch party Tuesday about his concession to Paxton. “We came close tonight, but we came a little short,” Nelson said. “I hope we paved the way [for] bringing Texas back to the common sense and pragmatism that defines Texas.” The other four races are comptroller, agriculture commissioner, land commissioner

and railroad commissioner. Glenn Hegar was re-elected as comptroller, who supervises the state treasury. Sid Miller will continue his role as agriculture commissioner overseeing Texas food production. George P. Bush was re-elected to his role as land commissioner, which manages Texas mineral rights and distributed Hurricane Harvey relief money. Finally, Christi Craddick will continue her work as railroad commissioner, in charge of Texas’ oil and gas industry. Travis County voted Democrat across the ballot. Despite overall losses, Travis County Democrats said they remain hopeful for the future. “You are the future,” said Dyana Limon-Mercado, Travis County Democratic Party Chair. “You are the future of Texas, and Texas is the future of the Democrat party.”

Let it go: Women can let it grow By Emily Pape Columnist

Hide your razors and hide your shaving cream. It’s No Shave November — a whole month without shaving, waxing or any other form of body hair removal. Everyone is encouraged to participate, but for women, it can be a bit of a challenge. For women, body hair is considered taboo, and hair removal is the norm for females. This month and in general, women have the right to grow out their body hair if they want to and not be criticized for it. Individuals who are against women not shaving should learn to be more accepting and realize it’s not a huge deal. My mom taught me how to shave when I was going into sixth grade. That’s when all my female friends started shaving their legs and armpits, too. Women, and some men, shave for multiple reasons. Body hair can make them feel dirty, or they just might not like the way it feels. However, from 2013 to 2016, the percentage of women who shave their armpit hair decreased from 95 percent to 77 percent, and the percentage of women who shave their leg hair decreased from 92 percent to 85 percent. These numbers are changing, but women who keep their body hair still receive negative comments from society. Personally, I do shave the

majority of my body hair, but this November, I’m experimenting and not shaving my armpits. When I told my friends and family this, their reaction was not as supportive as I wished it to be. I went around campus asking students about their opinions on women’s body hair and whether it should be shaved or not. Unfortunately, their responses didn’t surprise me.

Women on campus ... If you’ve never gone without shaving before, see what it’s like, and if you end up enjoying the experience, live that lifestyle.” “These women at the very least will demand our respect by going against such a taboo practice,” exercise science junior Carter Tomsu said. “I’m not sure why it is more accepted by society for women to shave their armpits and legs, but I can confidently say that most men are not as attracted to women with unshaved armpits and hairy legs.” Some responses from male students were nicer than others, but overall, most said they prefer

For seven long days, the city-wide water crisis wreaked havoc on the lives of 880,000 Austinites. People scrambled to find clean bottled water amid empty grocery shelves and overpriced water cases. Many stocked up to prepare for the worst. On Oct. 28, the city lifted the boil-water notice, leaving many residents with cases of water they no longer needed. Throughout the water crisis, residents stocked up on water bottles as early and quickly as possible. Many students had friends or family bring them cases of water after shelves at the local Target and H-E-B went empty. Regardless, students are now left with cases upon cases of water bottles they don’t need and wouldn’t otherwise consume. Resources, such as refillable water stations and filtered tap water, provide students with clean water. In light of the end of the water crisis, students should donate the extra water cases they would normally not use. Students can reduce their environmental footprint and increase their charitable impact through water bottle donations to nonprofits around Austin.

women who do shave. “A girl who shaves her legs and armpits shows that she’s clean and feminine,” economics freshman John Gutierrez said. “I would definitely consider it a positive thing that most girls should do.” On the other hand, the majority of the responses I got from women were supportive and understanding. “Women who do not shave their legs and armpit hair are extremely brave,” sociology freshman Madeline Diamont said. “Many people despise them, frown upon them and question their hygiene, but men are never condemned for it. To all the women with hairy armpits and legs: Rock on.” The way a woman displays her body is her business. She shouldn’t have to change just because society disapproves or thinks it looks dirty. Men and women who are against not shaving should try to be more accepting — it’s not your body. Hair shouldn’t change the way you look at someone, even if it’s not normal to you. Women on campus: This November, I challenge you to try it. If you’ve never gone without shaving before, see what it’s like, and if you end up enjoying the experience, live that lifestyle. No Shave November is a time to jump out of your comfort zone and push away society’s boundaries. Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed — it’s your life. Pape is a journalism freshman from San Antonio.

A combined effort from the University and students to donate water to nonprofits in Austin will create a widespread positive impact in the aftermath of the water crisis.”

Lorena Ortiz, an environmental science freshman, is one of many students who began drinking bottled water during the crisis. She currently has nine cases of unfinished water bottles in her dorm room. “I’ve been drinking fountain water and using refillable bottles all this year, but now that my parents brought me drinking water for the crisis, I’m drinking that,” Ortiz said. “I’d be totally fine donating my water, because I’m not going to finish nine cases by the end of the semester.” With the demand for bottled water gone, students such as Ortiz can and should donate their water to local nonprofits who need it. There are several places that accept water bottle donations through drop-offs. Places such as the Refugee Services of Texas Austin Service Center, Family Eldercare and Foundation for the Homeless all need water donations delivered at their locations for those in need in Austin. For students who do not have the means to drive to these locations, there are other options. They can carpool with friends, or even better, UT could create a designated station to deliver extra water cases and expedite the donation process for students. A drop-off location for water on campus would help students conveniently deliver their water to organizations in need. Another organization that accepts water is Mobile Loaves and Fishes, the largest food aid program to the homeless and working poor in Austin. The organization has a truck ministry with the St. John Neumann Commissary that uses trucks to deliver meals, water and clothes to Austinites in need. Tony Spinelle, the manager of St. John Neumann Commissary, said their truck needs 30 24-bottle water cases, and some of the other eight trucks likely also need water donations. Now that the water crisis is over, we must seek charitable ways to donate our excess water bottles. Instead of drinking all the leftover water, students should consider using refillable water bottles and giving the water to Austinites who don’t have access to clean water. A combined effort from the University and students to donate water to nonprofits in Austin will create a widespread positive impact in the aftermath of the water crisis.

Team finds camaraderie through ASL By Francesca D’Annunzio @ftcdnz

Six women on the UT women’s cross country team are American Sign Language (ASL) users — partially by coincidence, but not entirely. Olivia Thompson, one of the members of the team, is hard of hearing. Thompson, a health promotion and disability studies junior, said she is able to race and practice with her hearing aids the majority of the time. However, with the incessant rain this past semester, there have been several occasions during which she has been unable to run with her hearing aids in. “It’s been raining a lot the past two weeks, so I haven’t had my hearing aids in for some of the practices,” Thompson said. “They make waterproof hearing aids, but they’re not powerful enough for my hearing loss.” Thompson has 80 percent hearing loss in one ear. Without her hearing aids, she cannot make out most sounds. “I can hear (assistant coach PattiSue Plumer’s) voice a little bit, like screaming at meets, so it’s not completely silent,”

Thompson said. For most of her athletic career, wearing hearing aids did not present issues — except when she played soccer as a kid. “Sometimes the ball would hit my hearing aid and it broke a couple times, so I had to be careful with that,” Thompson said. Despite the challenges heavy rain can present, she never misses a beat during practices when she doesn’t have her hearing aids in. If it rains and she has to run without hearing aids, there are many people on the team who are ASL users who can fill in the gaps. Several cross country runners study fields related to speech pathology or take ASL classes. Other players, including chemical engineering junior Abigail Hirst and speech language pathology junior Destiny Collins, have close friends or family who are deaf or hard of hearing. Collins got into ASL early in her college career and ended up switching majors because of it. “At first I just wanted to take ASL to be able to talk to (my boyfriend),” Collins said. The boyfriend’s first language was ASL because he and his parents are deaf.

Since Collins was not enjoying her pre-med classes, she started looking for another academic path and thought about how much she had enjoyed her communication classes. “Then I realized what the (speech language and pathology) major does, and you get to possibly work with deaf children or people who have had strokes,” Collins said. Plumer said she sees the girls signing to each other for fun sometimes. “They sometimes sign to each other during warm ups and cool downs,” Plumer said. “Sometimes I’ll walk into a team meeting and see them signing. (Recently) we were bowling, and it was really loud, so you couldn’t hear very well. They were signing across the room to each other and to Olivia.” The girls use ASL in situations even when there’s not necessarily a linguistic need because of the risk of the rain ruining Thompson’s hearing aids. “It’s such a natural part of our team culture,” Plumer said. “It’s great for her and for all of us.”

Texas begins new era with victory

Andrew Jones returns after month-long battle with cancer. By Steve Helwick @s_helwick

ead coach Shaka Smart started his fourth year at Texas with a different, unfamiliar hand of cards. There was no first round, NBA-talent center on the roster and Kerwin Roach II, one of his veteran players, sat out due to suspension. So, as opening night swept through the city of Austin, dozens of question marks surrounded the new look Texas squad and how it would function as a unit. The beginning result was suboptimal at best, but in the end, all the pieces of Smart’s roster intertwined to deliver a convincing 71-59 win over Eastern Illinois. “We played about 15 minutes of impressive basketball for Nov. 6,” Smart said. “I told the guys at shootaround that no matter what happens tonight, we’re going to have a lot of growth that we need to create.” Eastern Illinois, fresh off a 12–19 finish in the Ohio Valley Conference, remained more than competitive for the first 16 minutes of the contest. Leading 25-23 with 3:50 left in the opening half, all Texas needed was a spark to explode offensively, and that spark was Elijah Mitrou-Long. The transfer shooting guard drained a high-arcing three from the corner to break a 25-25 deadlock. To follow up the act, athletic freshman power forward Jaxson Hayes denied the Panthers on the other end with an emphatic rejection. The defensive stand transitioned into an and-one fast break layup by point guard Matt Coleman to secure a six-point lead. “Me and the guards were talking

about (the alley-oops) at the break,” Hayes said. “I looked at Matt, and after the first two ones he missed me on, I told him, ‘It’s open. It’s open.’ Or if they started helping off me, they’d have the guy in the corner to kick to.” Several sequences later, Coleman lobbed it up to the high-flying Hayes for an exclamation point of an alley-oop to cap a 15-0 run. With players of all positions, skill sets and experience levels contributing, the game-defining run unleashed a new brand of Texas basketball that was absent in the season’s opening minutes.

“I thought our guys settled in, and we got the style of play going better as the half wore on,” Smart said. “I thought our guards did a really good job between Matt, Eli and Courtney (Ramey) managing the game, finding their teammates and getting the guys shots.” Coleman, assuming a leadership role with the young team as a returning starter, pitched in a team-high 13 points to start his sophomore campaign. Additionally, he dished seven assists to exceptionally fulfill his role as the team’s assertive floor general. The wealth was well distributed,

manufacturing opportunities for other scorers. Shooting guard Jase Febres exploded in the second half with three triples of his own, while Hayes utilized his size advantage to dominate down low with 12 points. But Smart saved his most applauded coaching decision of the night until there was 11:40 remaining in the second half. Andrew Jones checked into the contest for the first time since his leukemia diagnosis last January. Appreciative of the long journey back to the court, the Frank Erwin Center only

exponentiated in volume when Jones sunk a free throw — his first point since New Year’s Day. “He handled it very humbly,” Coleman said. “He wants to be treated like he’s one of us. He wants to have the same respect and show that he’s just as good as one of us. It felt good just having his presence. You see the fans, they care about him.” With Jones back on the roster, the Longhorns aim to keep their young season perfect in El Paso this Friday against Arkansas.

Texas’ Swiss Army knife: Lil’Jordan continues offensive evolution

Thompson shows up big in close loss, Turner struggles to find rhythm By Abhishek Mukund @abhishek_mukund

The NBA season is heating up with nearly every team reaching the 10-game mark. Some teams, such as the Oklahoma City Thunder or Houston Rockets, have strung together a few wins to get their seasons back on track. Others, like the Golden State Warriors or Boston Celtics, demonstrated why they’re still the favorites in their respective conferences. The San Antonio Spurs continue their 20-year dominance of relevancy in the league, while the Washington Wizards are attempting a Costco-style sale of all their players. Let’s take a look at some Longhorns who aren’t in these extremes, but whose impacts and team performances are headed in different directions:

Tristan Thompson, Cleveland Cavaliers

angela wang | the daily texan file Texas wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey goes up for a jump ball during Texas’ 42-41 loss to West Virginia at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Humphrey finished with 143 yards.

By Alex Briseño @AlexxBriseno

While Lil’Jordan Humphrey was playing high school football at Southlake Carroll, he knew he was going to play Division I ball. He just wasn’t sure what position, or what school he’d play at. The junior wide receiver’s offensive identity hasn’t always been as certain as it is now. Long before Humphrey recorded 143 receiving yards and a touchdown in Texas’ one-point loss to West Virginia, Lil’Jordan played tailback at Southlake. Despite playing safety during his freshman year, when it came time to begin his recruiting process, he knew he didn’t want anything to do with the defensive end of the ball. “I knew I wasn’t going to play defense,” Humphrey said. “I just want the ball in my hands. I feel like I do better with the ball in my hands. Whatever schools told me they would keep me on offense and give me a chance to either play running back or receiver, I went with it. And Texas gave me that chance.” Once Humphrey arrived at Texas, he transitioned to wide receiver after playing tailback most of his life. “LJ has improved steadily ever since we’ve been here. He had that fight-for-the-ball mentality,” head coach Tom Herman said during a press conference on Monday. “That’s something that’s difficult to coach and teach. You either kind of have it or you don’t. He certainly has it.” That “fight-for-the-ball mentality” was on full display in the first quarter on Saturday afternoon when Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger found himself evading an aggressive West Virginia pressure. Ehlinger threw a ball off his back foot before

getting thrown to the ground. The ball reached Humphrey, who jumped and reached over a West Virginia defensive back for a huge 23-yard gain to put Texas at the one yard line. “Sam was just throwing me the ball and I was doing everything I could do to keep us in the game,” Humphrey said modestly. That catch was just one of his nine receptions in yet another big performance for Humphrey, who is now accountable for seven touchdowns: five receiving, one rushing and one passing after completing a jump pass to wide receiver Collin Johnson. The Humphrey-Johnson combination has proven lethal so far this season. The two receivers will likely find a home in the NFL sooner rather than later, but for now, they are continuing to give Big 12 defenses headaches, accounting for a combined 12 total touchdowns. “I talk to him before we go out there on the field. We look at each other and say, ‘Let’s go do our thing, bro,’” Johnson said. “He’s a man of very few words. He’s like that with everyone. He only talks if he has something to say. He’ll say some stuff here and there but his play is loudest of all.” Now, with three season-defining games remaining on the schedule for the Longhorns, Humphrey must now think about sitting down with his loved ones to seriously consider declaring for the 2019 NFL Draft rather than returning for his senior year. As for the near future, Humphrey made one thing clear. While he is considering forgoing his senior season, he has no intention of skipping Texas’ bowl game like many players decide to do after declaring for the draft. “I’m playing in a bowl game regardless. I don’t have a ring, so I want a ring,” Humphrey said. “I’ll definitely play in a bowl game.”

The Cleveland Cavaliers won their first game last week against the Atlanta Hawks. The Cavaliers have played three games since then, and unsurprisingly, collected three more losses. Two of those losses weren’t particularly close, with the Cavaliers losing by 19 against the Denver Nuggets and by 32 against the Charlotte Hornets. However, it took a buzzer-beating three by Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier to beat the Cavaliers on Monday evening. Perhaps the biggest predictor in the Cavaliers competitiveness is the play of Texas alumnus Tristan Thompson. Thompson scored a combined 18 points on 52 percent shooting from the field, and grabbed a total of 15 rebounds in the two blowout losses against the Nuggets and Hornets. He scored 19 points on 75 percent shooting from the field, and grabbed 16 rebounds in the close loss against the Magic. Thompson set his season-highs for points, rebounds and shots attempted, and also tied his season-highs for assists and blocks in just one game. There is a very small chance that Thompson can replicate this level of play on a night-to-night basis, but it’s what he must do if the Cavaliers hope to stay competitive in the wake of their piling losses.

Myles Turner, Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers were the surprise team of the 2017–2018 NBA season, and they’ve continued their stellar play into the current season. A Monday night loss to the Houston Rockets, led by superstar guard James Harden, dropped the Pacers to a respectable 7–4 record — good for thirdbest in the top-heavy Eastern Conference. Although the team is playing well, former Longhorn Myles Turner continues to provide virtually nothing on both ends of the floor. Turner is posting a career-low in rebounding this season and his points average is the second-lowest of his career, above only his rookie season. His field goal and three point attempts are both the second lowest of his young career as well. Turner is also shooting a career-low from three-point range this season despite being labeled a stretch-big for virtually his entire career. Turner’s backup, Domantas Sabonis, continues to play at a high level. Turner, who averages just under 30 minutes per game, saw his playing time dip to only 23 minutes in the Monday night loss to the Houston Rockets. Sabonis averages just over 20 minutes on the season but logged 30 minutes against the Rockets. Head coach Nate McMillan is playing the big man who gives his team the best shot to win, and Turner hasn’t proven himself to be that player.
