STUDENTS CHEER ON BASKETBALL TEAM

RYAN SELEWICZ — THE SANTA CLARA

Quin Adler, Katherine Burkhuch, Anna McKendry, John Towers and Ryan Voreyer, all members of the Pep Band, watch the second game of the final series of the College Basketball Invitational at an off-campus house.

The Pep Band members continued the Bronco tradition of spirit fingers while players shot free throws and cheering “S-C-U Woooh” even though they were watching at home. The Broncos roared back to keep the game close at the end, but the Patriots of George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. won the game 73-66. Game Three will be played tomorrow night on the campus of George Mason, with the winner being crowned champion of the postseason tournaent. The Santa Clara men’s basketball team experienced similar postseason sucess two years ago when they finished their season with five straight victories and a College Insider Tournament championship. Friday night’s game will be the last in the careers of Kevin Foster, Marc Trasolini, Raymond Cowels III, Niyi Harrison and Kyle Perricone. Foster has been carrying the offend for the Broncos during their postseason run, scoring at least 20 points in four of the five games. In his last game in the Leavey Center on Monday night, he scored 28 points to pace the Broncos in their victory over the Patriots.

Tuition Sees Return Training Disseminated Santa Clara ranks high on investment list Robert Wear

Associate Reporter Tuition at Santa Clara may be high, but it may be worth your investment according to Payscale’s new Return on Investment Ranking for Colleges and Universities.

Out of 1,248 schools, Santa Clara came in 28th place, up from 29th last year.

The full four-year tuition without financial aid in 2011 was $209,300, and the net ROI after 30 years is believed to be $753,700 on average.

Yet, 81 percent of the student body

does have at least some financial aid with the average amount around $15,179, which brings the ROI up to $806,700. That’s an average of 10.5 percent of your money back each year.

Bronco graduates are also looking at a high starting salary; the average post-grad makes $50,600 in their first year of employment.

Even though the return on investment is certainly positive for the entire school, certain degrees are better investments than others.

The highest paid careers are in software development, programming or engineering with an average salary at $126,587, followed by finance management with the average salary at $100,438.

In terms of hourly wages, an attorney tops the charts at and average of $82.50 an hour.

University prepares for shooter situations Angeles Oviedo

Associate Reporter Last week, Vice Provost for Student Life and Dean of Students Jeanne Rosenberger sent an email to all students encouraging them to complete an online training course on emergency procedure training.

The training course includes 27 brief slides on what to do during a lockdown, active shooter and hostage situations and how to report behaviors of concern. A video included in the training module demonstrates the procedures in action.

President Michael Engh, S.J., first introduced the course to students via email late last February, citing the recent shooting in Newtown, Conn. as a reminder that students should take the time to learn how to prepare for an unexpected event.

The training module reports statistics that over the past 10 years there have been over 40 shooting incidents at North American colleges and universities and that over the past 12 months, over 35 schools in the Bay Area have been under lockdown.

The training course encourages students to make sure they are enrolled in Santa Clara Campus Alerts, the university’s primary means of sending out emergency notification.

“I think it’s a really good idea to have something in place to ensure that people know how to protect

themselves in a breach of security,” said senior Sonia Suri. She added, however, that email not might be the best way to disseminate the emergency procedure information.

Senior Allison McPartland suggested that a physical practice of emergency safety procedures.

“In an emergency situation everyone is so panicked and anxious. I think that more people would know what to do (after practicing the procedures),” she said.

“Some people will read the email, but even if you do read it, are you going to retain the information on the slides?” she said, “whereas, if you do a practice of it you might not take it seriously but you’re not going to forget doing it in class with your professor.”

1. UN adopts treaty to regulate global arms trade: The U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the first international treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar global arms trade Tuesday, after a more than decade-long campaign to keep weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists, organized crime figures and human rights violators.

Cheers erupted in the assembly chamber as the electronic board flashed the final vote: 154 in favor, 3 against and 23 abstentions.

“The Arms Trade Treaty will make it more difficult for deadly

weapons to be diverted into the illicit market,” said U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon. “It will be a powerful new tool in our efforts to prevent grave human rights abuses or violations of international humanitarian law.”

The U.S., the world’s biggest arms exporter, voted in favor.

Iran, North Korea and Syria cast the votes against it. They argued that the agreement favors major arms suppliers over importers that need weapons for self-defense.

2. Ex-ambassadors urge US, Russia to mend rift: The U.S. and Russia should overcome their cold spell by focusing on their common economic and security challenges, former diplomats to Moscow and Washington said Tuesday.

The ex-ambassadors, who gathered to commemorate the restoration of diplomatic ties, said the strains have been driven by emotions and misperceptions.

They strongly urged the Kremlin and the White House to deal with common threats.

President Barack Obama’s initia-

tive to “reset” relations with Russia has run into obstacles as the Kremlin accuses Washington of meddling in Russia’s domestic affairs. Ties also have been strained by a dispute over U.S. missile defense plans and differences over the Syrian civil war.

U.S.-Russian relations hit a new low in December when Russia banned Americans from adopting Russian children to retaliate against a U.S. law calling for sanctions on Russians who are identified as human-rights violators.

4. New Central African Republic government faces criticism: Cen-

3. Egypt steps up campaign against TV satirist: Egyptian authorities on Tuesday stepped up a campaign against a popular TV comedian accused of insulting the president, threatening to revoke the license of a private TV station that airs his weekly program and angrily dismissing U.S. criticism of legal proceedings against him.

The satirist, Bassem Youssef, was questioned by state prosecutors over accusations that he insulted Islamist President Morsi and Islam. On his show, Youssef frequently satirizes everything from the president’s

policies to his mannerisms, while highlighting contradictions in their comments.

The questioning of Youssef, along with arrest warrants issued days earlier against five anti-government activists on charges of inciting unrest, have raised warnings by opponents of Morsi of a campaign to intimidate his critics. A new case was opened, with prosecutors looking into whether participants in a talk show on another private channel who criticized the Youssef case.

Tiangaye will represent Central African Republic at talks scheduled for Wednesday where regional mediators are due to discuss the country’s ongoing political crisis.

However, rebel leader and President Djotodia will not be attending the meeting. The African Union suspended Central African Republic’s membership following the seizure of power, and Djotodia and other rebel leaders are also subject to A.U. travel restrictions.

Plastic Bottles Crushed Incomes Fluctuate Petition pushes for university to restrict sales Mallory Miller

The Santa Clara Spring quarter 2013 is officially the last quarter Santa Clara branded water bottles will be sold on campus.

A petition to ban plastic water bottles on campus was finalized the last week of winter quarter. Multiple individuals, sustainability clubs and non-sustainability affiliated clubs were involved in the project.

Ellen Yun, sustainability senator for Associated Student Government, and Kelsey Baker, president of OCEANS Club, organized the project plan and wrote the petition to ban plastic water bottles on campus earlier this year.

Santa Clara would be joining other universities that have already banned the sale of plastic water bottles on their campuses, such as Gonzaga University, San Francisco State University and Seattle University.

Yun and Baker had ambitions to get Santa Clara, one of the leading green universities on the West Coast, on that list.

Phase One of the project was to get at least 600 signatures for the petition and to gain support from the student body. The petition successfully received over 800 electronic and hard copy signatures combined.

“It was shocking how quickly we were able to get the signatures and

complete Phase One of the project,” said Yun. “It would not have been possible to finalize the petition without the help and support from individuals, organizations and clubs across campus. This just shows how environmentally conscious our student body truly is.”

The petition gained an ample amount of support from various clubs and departments on campus.

Many clubs helped distribute the

“This just shows how environmentally conscious our student body truly is.” petition at their individual meetings, shared links to the electronic petition on Facebook, tabled in Benson Memorial Center, and helped spread the word around campus.

“Leaders reaching out to other leaders on campus make a huge difference,” said Baker. “Just through this project I feel like we have created a strong network between clubs on campus.”

The project has been launched into Phase Two now that Phase One is complete. Yun and Baker have been meeting with Jane Barrantes, assistant vice president of Auxiliary Services, and Bob Lubecky, manager of Bon Appétit, to arrange further action to replace the plastic water bottles with glass bottles so students

still have the convenience of buying water. However, Bon Appétit has been concerned that eliminating the sales of Santa Clara brand plastic water bottles will result in a loss of profit and negative reactions from consumers, specifically alumni.

“Alumni, orientation, prospective students and families and donor events have liked the (Santa Clara) label over a commercial one,” said Barrantes. “ However, organizers are willing to accept its elimination of the private labeled water if the students no longer think it is a good connection to be made.”

Bon Appétit only has enough Santa Clara labeled water in stock to last until the end of this academic year, and will no longer be ordering more. The company is currently contracted with Coca Cola for the next six years, after making the switched from Pepsi to Coke products. With this contract, Bon Appétit receives Coke product water bottles as well. Coke has offered to sell an alternative drink to Bon Appétit instead of the water bottles. This replacement, however, is still being negotiated as Bon Appétit is unsure of the health benefits of adding another sugary drink.

“Unexpected issues have come up throughout the execution of the project, but with so much student support we are able to work around current and past issues,” said Baker.

while others who work in the financial industry reported around $60,000. However, the variety of degrees from people working in both these industries is not always what you would expect.

CAMPUS BRIEFS L.O.C.A.L.S. FAIR SHARES SUSTAINABILE PRACTICES

MALU VELTZE— THE SANTA CLARA

The Office of Sustainability held the Living Off Campus and Living Sustainably fair on Kennedy Commons. Tables at the event included Into the Wild, the Office of Sustainability, Associated Student Government and more, offering information and tips on how to save money, reduce carbon footprints and waste, and support the local community while being sustainable.

Bookstore Receives New Name and Logo When the new freshmen roll in for their orientation this upcoming summer, the SCU Campus Bookstore will have a new name and logo.

It has been decided that the bookstore will be renamed “Bronco Corner,” coined by junior Stephanie Ilagan. In addition, the university is currently in the process of designing a new logo for signage and future marketing.

The renaming of the bookstore was a project that involved both faculty and students. It was presented as a contest, granting the individual with the winning title free textbooks for spring quarter. During the last half of February, suggestion boxes were placed next to each register in the bookstore, and once all suggestions were received, the list was sent to the Bookstore Advisory Board.

This board, made up of students and faculty alike, voted individually on their top four choices , which were placed on ballots and left at the registers from March 1 to March 15.

To encourage students to participate in the polls, $50 gift cards were offered to four random voters at the end of the contest.

Jane Barrantes, assistant vice president of Auxiliary Services, said that the reason behind the renaming was to find a title to “reflect the diversity” of the bookstore, and “showcase a unique campus connection and spirit that the store has.”

She pointed out that though the store used to sell books only, it has evolved immensely throughout the years and now offers far more than just textbooks.

Today, the SCU Bookstore sells apparel, school supplies, residence hall items and even tech gear. To reflect this variety, Barrantes says

that the university wanted a new name that would be “more to our school than just the generic ‘Campus Bookstore.’”

Life After Santa Clara Prepares Seniors This quarter, the Alumni Association is hosting a yearly tradition of Life After SCU events, which aim to prepare seniors for post-grad life.

The first event of the series, “City Living,” was held on Tuesday and featured three alumni who offered seniors information on what it is like to live and work in San Francisco.

They covered topics ranging from apartment hunting, best neighborhoods to live in, commuting and transportation options in the city.

The events, which are held on Tuesday evenings, will continue throughout the eighth week of the quarter.

The next event of the series, “Healthy Living,” will include discussion on how to cook healthy meals on a budget and maintain a healthy lifestyle after college.

In the weeks following, seniors will be able to network with alumni at “Career Connect.” The event on personal finance will offer seniors information on how to pay off their student loans and budget effectively.

Professor Frederick Parrella from the Religious Studies Department will lead a discussion of the theology of marriage in the fifth event of the series. Seniors will be offered the opportunity to learn barbecue basics during Week 6 and how to entertain on a budget during Week 7. The last event of the series, “Wine Education,” will offer seniors proper wine tasting techniques.

Court May Take Bipartisan Path on Marriage

PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS — AP

Last week, the Supreme Court heard two cases regarding gay marriage. The ensuing media debate stimulated nationwide attention on the hot topic issue. However, it is improbable that sweeping reform will be handed down when the two verdicts are read in June.

I

n two months, the Supreme Court will unveil their decision regarding two same-sex marriage cases. However, anyone

hoping for the next Brown or Roe is likely to be disappointed.

If Justice Anthony Kennedy writes the decisions, he will likely

say both laws infringe upon the state’s ability to govern itself and its citizens.

This will not fully garner the

results that the liberals want, but in some ways it will strengthen the states’ rights doctrine that conservatives champion. It would be a textbook Kennedy move, striking the Defense of Marriage Act nationwide while expanding same-sex marriage only to California.

The court’s decisions have been mainly moderate, reflecting the split ideologies of the justices. This has been the case for some 30 years, since the appointment of now-retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

It takes five members to make a majority in a case, and that fifth vote has often been difficult to attain. Typically, the court’s official decision is often dictated by the justice most likely to waver. In this way, the official law of the land is set by a moderate, or someone who didn’t already make up their mind.

Today, with the other justices more or less ideologically entrenched, that role has fallen almost exclusively to Kennedy.

Let’s assume, however, that the court makes a decision in both cases.

That’s when Kennedy’s power will become evident. In the past, the Reagan appointee has ruled differently on gay rights; he has stricken sodomy laws while upholding the right of the Boy Scouts of America to ban gay scoutmasters. While this might seem erratic, there may be an underlying logic that makes sense of all of it.

In each of those cases, Kenne-

dy has tied his decision not to the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, but some other constitutional right, such as privacy. This ruling reflects his rearing as a devout Catholic who nonetheless likes to be in the center and is always concerned with the real-world, human effects of the court’s decisions.

Kennedy may at times be overly dramatic with his decisions, but every former clerk that has been interviewed has said that he thinks long and hard for every decision. Unlike the Citizens United decision, which was largely an economic case, the Proposition 8 and DOMA cases before the court now have a daily impact on people’s lives, a fact Kennedy mentioned during oral arguments in March.

What does this mean for those cases? It is unlikely that either Proposition 8 or DOMA will survive. However, this will probably not be based on the Equal Protection Clause.

Kennedy is not a true moderate.

In many ways, he is conservative to the core. However, in these two cases, the odds are against opponents of same-sex marriage. It won’t be the final nail in the coffin liberals want, but like every other step so far in the battle for marriage equality, it’s progress.

Jonathan Tomczak is a junior history and political science double major.

Cancelling Saturday Mail May Be Necessary

S

aturdays may become a lot grimmer with the U.S. Postal Service calling an end to its Saturday deliveries.

The U.S. Postal Service wishes to move to a five-day mail delivery schedule to cut nearly $2 billion in losses. The end to the Saturday service is proposed for August.

Packages would still be delivered six days a week, but letters, bills and junk mail that we receive on the weekend will be pushed back to the following week.

The slimming down of the U.S. Postal Service has been inevitable for quite some time. With the rise of the Internet, email and smartphones, sending messages through the mail has become the slowest form of communication and the most expensive.

The U.S. Postal Service is funded by the government. The government, with trillions of dollars of debt, needs to make cuts somewhere. The Saturday U.S. Postal Service could be one of those cuts.

We all occasionally use the U.S. Postal Service to mail letters to family or friends, receive the arts and crafts we buy on Etsy or pay our bills.

However, eliminating Saturday service will not have a great effect on our lives. We will just have to plan accordingly so we can make sure our mail arrives on time.

The fact of the matter is that by closing the Saturday mail delivery, the U.S. Postal Service saves a lot of

RYAN SELEWICZ — THE SANTA CLARA

The Santa Clara post office is not open on Saturdays; however, students often use it Monday through Friday. Students mail and receive packages and letters on a weekly, if not daily, basis. Whether or not post offices nationwide will continue to be downsized in favor for expedited forms of communication, like email, is being debated now.

money. By cutting Saturday service, this hopefully means the U.S. Postal Service will not have to cut as many jobs. Yes, there will be one less day available for letter carriers to work, but at least more will be able to keep their routes during the week.

As for the rest of us, we will have to resort to emailing each other on Saturdays — but that’s not too much of a stretch. We email each other on a daily basis as it is.

It is interesting, though, to wonder if canceling the Saturday service

could start a trend.

Technology is gradually changing the way we live our lives.

There could be a time when the U.S. Postal Service delivery is entirely canceled. As the mail system becomes more and more irrelevant,

this is not a far-off possibility. This could become a reality as we find better and more efficient means of communicating with each other.

Students Serve Others on Immersion Trips Broncos spent their spring break giving back Summer Meza

The Santa Clara Spring break presented a number of options for how students could spend a week of free time.

While there was plenty of fun to be had at beaches and relaxing at home, some Santa Clara students opted to spend their break serving other communities through the immersion trips offered through several different Santa Clara departments.

The immersion trips are opportunities to travel to a different region and completely delve into the experience of service work and self-reflection.

Immersions sent students to many different communities, rang-

ing from Nicaragua to New Orleans.

These trips were the epitome of the Jesuit vision of developing students as well-rounded, global citizens.

Students who partook learned about a place they had never been to before, as well as a lot about themselves. Students tutored children, worked in kitchens to feed the homeless, and developed sustainable projects, amongst many other duties they took on throughout the week. Nightly reflection allowed for self-growth and aimed to help every person gain the most they could from their experience.

The immersion trips were competitive to apply for, due to the appeal of spending a week making an impact on people in need, as well as for a change in pace from activities like laying out in the sun.

Working firsthand with communities in need gives students perspective and gives them the chance to truly make a difference.

Finding a Sunny Study Spot on Campus Samantha Nitz

Associate Reporter It’s beginning to be that time of year again — as the clouds start to crack open and the bright sun replaces the gray glow we have become used to, students are getting in the habit of wandering outside to soak up some rays. It can often slip the mind that spring quarter is just like every other, and there will be grades at the end that are important no matter how much you’d rather be playing in the sun. Luckily, there’s a way to both work on your tan and get some fresh air and also get the grades you deserve: Find a study space that lets you appreciate the outdoors. It only takes a little bit of effort to discover some new places to slip on your shades and crack open those books.

Varsi’s Lawn

Top of Lucas Hall

Obviously, the Harrington Learning Commons is a study hot spot, but most of the seats are inside. However, if you time your visit well, the outdoor area on the third floor is home to some amazingly comfortable couches.

Easily-distracted folk beware — it can be very tempting to drift off to sleep in the sun on those cozy cushions.

The meandering pathways through the gardens near Varsi Hall have become the roads less traveled for students on their way to class. Slightly separated from the main walkways, the lawn is a peaceful environment to really focus on your work. It’s a perfect place to bring a book or laptop and just lay out and enjoy the quiet without being completely removed from the majority of campus. This location will give you direct access to the sun all day, and enough space so that you won’t have to sidle up to a complete stranger to find a little room.

Frequenters to Lucas Hall may be aware of the great study spot at the top of the building, but to everyone else, this oasis is not as well-known. This space offers tables, a view of campus and a mix of shade and sun, as well as close proximity to the Cadence Cyber Café for all your sunny day study necessities like lemonade and Clif Bars. It’s a great location that isn’t always used to its fullest potential, so try to snag a spot!

The debut project from L.A. indie-folk outfit Lord Huron, “Lonesome Dreams” showcases the rise of alternative folk rock. With popular bands like Mumford & Sons and their brand of hoedown-heavy arena folk, it seems as though more groups are heading in the direction of old-timey outfits, banjos and massive hooks.

Lord Huron is exemplary in the way it presents an alternate folkrock direction. Rather than living in

the suspended past, it brings much needed modern sensibilities to the genre.

“Lonesome Dreams” is composed of nothing but gimmick-free lyrics of regret, longing and adventure supported by gorgeous instrumentation and melody.

This is music toput a smile on your face on hazy Sunday mornings.

It’s music to get lost to, music to hit the road to with a destination in mind and friend in tow. This is music to disappear into the sunset to.

Team’s struggles continue, now losers of 10 straight Ryan Mahoney

The Santa Clara The Santa Clara baseball team continued its struggles this season with a road trip to the University of Portland last weekend.

The West Coast Conference series resulted in a three-game sweep of the Broncos. The unfortunate result was the third straight sweep of the Broncos, leaving their record at 8-18 overall, winless in the WCC at 0-6.

The Broncos had opened their WCC season at Pepperdine University, where they were swept by the Waves. That series was preceded by another sweep at the hands of non-conference opponent Michigan State University, the final nonconference full series of the year.

The team has now lost 10 straight, dating back to the March 12 loss to California at Stephen Schott Stadium. The Broncos did however come out swinging and nearly took two of the games against Portland.

In the series opener against the Pilots, the Broncos narrowly missed getting back into the win column. It took an extra inning for the Pilots to finally put away the Broncos by a final score of 2-1. The Broncos struck first when Justin Viele, who went

2-4 on the day, scored on a wild pitch after hitting a single. Portland evened the score in the bottom of the fourth. Neither team could untie the score until extra innings, when a bases-loaded walk ended the game.

The second game of the series was the second part of a double header. With the momentum of a walk-off win fresh in their mind, the Pilots came out swinging, taking the second game 10-3. Freshman Jake Steffens took the mound for the Broncos and picked up the loss. He went 3.2 innings and gave up four runs on five hits.

Although the Broncos led 2-1 in the top of the fourth, the Pilots responded with three

The Broncos did, however, come out swinging and nearly took two of the games against Portland. runs in the bottom of that inning and never relinquished the lead.

The series finale mirrored the series opener, in that the Broncos ended up on the wrong side of another tight game. Another Bronco freshman, Reece Karalus, started the game on the mound. He would

go five innings, giving up six runs on nine hits. On the offensive side, Justin Viele once again had a solid day at the plate, going 2-4 with two runs and a walk. Viele doubled in the first inning and scored on a Greg Harisis RBI single, giving the Broncos a 1-0 lead.

After four runs came across for Portland, the Broncos added two runs in the tops of the fourth and seventh, as well as a single run in the top of the fifth. The Pilots countered with two single run innings of their own to bring the score to 6-6 as the teams entered the eighth inning.

Though the Broncos failed to score in the top of the inning, the Pilots encountered no such problem in the bottom. Brian Frattali scored on an RBI single by Ben Grubb, bringing the score to 7-6, where it remained for the rest of the game. The game sealed the third consecutive sweep that the Broncos have endured on this 10-game losing streak.

Santa Clara returns home to Stephen Schott Stadium to take on the Brigham Young University Cougars in a three-game series starting April 4 at 6 p.m. The Cougars, who play a very challenging schedule, are 14-14 overall, with a 2-4 record in WCC play. Though the Cougars will be tough, the Broncos have fared better at home than on the road this season, and the confines of Schott could help the Broncos end their skid.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Kevin Foster Men’s Basketball The senior from Katy, Texas has been carrying the offensive load for the Broncos during their College Basketball Invitational run, scoring over 20 points in four of the team’s first five games. He led the team in scoring in victories over the University of Vermont, Purdue University, Wright State University and in Game 1 of the championship series against

George Mason University. He was also the leading scorer in Wednesday night’s Game 2 loss against George Mason, but was held to 16 points on just 6-15 shooting. The final game of his storied career and the final game of the Broncos’ season will be Friday night against the same George Mason. The winner will be CBI champion.

Tournament Championship on the Line Tomorrow Continued from Page 12

The Broncos were invited to this year’s tournament, along with 15 other teams. Notable teams included were George Mason, the 2006 NCAA Final Four Cinderella story and the University of Texas.

Throughout this year’s CBI run, senior guard Kevin Foster led the Broncos in scoring in each of the four tournament games, scoring 20 or more in all four games and upwards of 28 in each of the past three.

“It’s really about my teammates trusting me,” said Foster in a press conference after the team’s first win over George Mason. “We don’t want to lose. I just have to make sure I’m making senior plays and right now I’m making those shots and winning plays on the defensive end.”

Starting with their first round win at home against the University of Vermont, 77-67, the Broncos have been on a run through the tournament.

The Broncos played their secondround game in Indiana at Purdue University. Santa Clara sophomore Brandon Clark returned to his home state and had the opportunity to play in front of almost 40 friends and family.

Clark sunk two pivotal free throws with 8.6 seconds left in that game to seal the 86-83 win for the Broncos.

Clark’s special moment was complimented by Foster’s season-high 34 points and eight assists. Niyi Harrison added 11 rebounds to help the Broncos win only their third game in school history against a Big Ten Conference opponent.

“We played like we trusted each other and we were able to keep our composure at the end when they made a run,” said Head Coach Kerry Keating in a press conference after that game. “Brandon Clark has been

a key part of our team this year and a great addition.”

Keating was right, and the Broncos won their semifinal game against Wright State of Dayton, Ohio by score of 81-69.

Foster scored 33 that night, becoming the third Bronco in school history to score 30 or more in back to back games. He sunk six three-point shots, putting him in sole possession of fifth place all time in the same stat category in NCAA history, passing Golden State Warrior Stephen Curry.

“Kevin Foster is the best player we have seen all season and it’s not even close. That’s no disrespect to any of our competition this year — he’s just that good,” said Wright State Head Coach Billy Donlon after the game.

The Broncos then returned home for the opener of their three-game championship series with George Mason. The Bronco seniors closed out their home careers with a 81-73 win over the Patriots.

“It was a little close early and we were trying to make the home run plays late,” said Keating after the game. “We have to understand how to handle the pressure at the end of a game.”

A 73-66 loss last night at George Mason forced a pivotal third game which will again be played at George Mason. A late surge by the Broncos fell short and the Patriots were able to hold Foster to just 16 points on 6-15 shooting.

“We knew coming in that we had to win the first one,” said forward Marc Trasolini. “We don’t plan to (lose).”

Foster concluded, “Now it’s time to bring the championship back.”

Ware Goes Down, but Not Out

MEN’S CREW HOSTS HOME REGATTA

T

he annual college basketball tournament that is March Madness can be an emotional roller coaster ride for everyone involved. The single-elimination bracket is exciting for fans but can be equally cruel to players whose expectations of glory can be swiftly dashed with one bad game. A year never goes by without the sight of tears being shed by players in the waning seconds of a losing effort.

What we rarely see, however, are players crying on the court in the first half of a game yet to be decided.

But that’s exactly what happened in last Sunday’s matchup between Duke University and the University of Louisville after one of the most gruesome injuries ever sustained on a basketball court. Louisville’s Kevin Ware leaped to contest a jump shot, a typical defensive play that is as normal to the sport as a tackle in football or a kick in soccer. Yet this particular jump was horrifically different. Ware ended up on the ground, his right leg bent not at the knee but at the shin. He had snapped his tibia and fibula when he landed.

Ware’s Louisville teammates immediately crumpled to the hardwood upon seeing what had happened. Television cameras captured many of them crying. Louisville Head Coach Rick Pitino said he “literally almost threw up” when he saw his player’s mangled leg. These visceral reactions showed not only how awful the injury was, but also how tight-knit the camaraderie between teammates is in March Madness.

Ware is not just a player on Louisville. Instead, he is a brother in a family. Ware’s injury not only caused him to fall to the floor in agony, but also mentally crippled his teammates.

It was as if Ware’s pain was directly felt by his teammates, comparable to voodoo magic.

Play was halted for nine minutes as Ware was placed on a stretcher while his teammates struggled with the traumatizing sight of their fallen comrade. Even Duke players were visibly in shock. This was a different kind of emotion that had never been witnessed on a basketball court before, or in any other sport for that matter. It was the type of reaction one would expect to see when being notified about the death of a family member. For the Louisville basketball team, Ware’s devastating injury was the basketball equivalent. When Ware’s teammates finally pulled themselves together and came over to console him, it was the injured guard who did the talking.

“He was laying down, crying and saying: ‘Win it for me, y’all. I’m good.

I’m going to get surgery and be back at it like I never left,’” said teammate Chase Behanan.

Louisville went on to beat Duke handily, proving that the emotions of March Madness sometimes go beyond basketball.

CBI Final Tied at a Game Apiece Series against George Mason to conclude Friday night Henry Gula

The Santa Clara The Santa Clara men’s basketball team split the first two games of the College Basketball Invitational championship series earlier this week, and will now play a deciding third for the title Friday night on the campus of George Mason University.

The Broncos advanced through the first three rounds with wins over the University of Vermont, Purdue University and Wright State University and are now tied 1-1 in the “best of three” championship series with the George Mason Patriots from Fairfax, Va. The 16-team field consists of teams not selected for the NCAA Tournament or the NIT Tournament. It is often regarded as the third most prestigious postseason event. Teams were invited based upon performance during their conference and non-conference schedules, as well as how well the team was playing at the end of the regular season.
