Texas Tech professors discuss White House, media relations

By REECE NATIONS Staff Writer

On Jan. 21, Sean Spicer made his first official statement to the press as White House press secretary in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room located in the West Wing of the White House in Washington, D.C. Spicer's briefing was an incendiary response to negative press coverage of President Donald Trump's inauguration.

In the briefing, Spicer said journalists and news outlets deliberately released inaccurate information in order to lessen the enthusiasm of Trump's inauguration, which had occurred the day before.

In his statements, Spicer called attempts to diminish public enthusiasm for the inauguration "shameful and wrong."

"This sort of defensive attitude towards media is unique to who Donald Trump is," Seth McKee, an associate professor of political science, said. "He is deeply concerned with his image, as many presidents have been in the past."

he No. 11 Texas Tech Red Raiders swept the four-game series against Cal Golden Bears on Sunday, defeating them, 11-2, in the final game of the series.

Tech previously beat Cal, 4-2, on Friday and then went on to defeat the Golden Bears in the doubleheader on Saturday, 5-1 and 3-2.

Sophomore left-handed pitcher Erikson Lanning started on the mound for the Red Raiders. He threw five innings and allowed two runs on five hits. Junior left-handed pitcher Dylan Dusek came up with the save after sitting out during the 2015-2016 season because of an injury.

“It was awesome just because I was there the last time he threw for Tech in the Big 12 tournament my freshman year,” junior infielder Michael Davis said, “and getting to watch him go through what he has and get back out there and compete and throw is one of the best things to see.”

Freshman right-handed pitcher Rogelio Reyes took the mound for Cal on Saturday.

Reyes pitched four innings for Cal allowing four hits and four runs.

Senior infielder Hunter Hargrove had the hot bat against Cal with three hits and two runs in five at-bats. Hargrove also came up with the only home run of the game to

While being deeply concerned with one's image is not unique to Trump's presidency, it is notable that Trump's administration has a reputation for providing provably false information to support its cause, McKee said. According to PolitiFact’s Truth-O-Meter, Trump has made 259 statements that were labeled either mostly false, false or "pants on fire” since announcing his candidacy.

Trump's claims regarding instances of voter fraud in California, New Hampshire and Virginia have been rebutted by news outlets such as CNN, The Boston Globe and The New York Times. In response, Trump and members of his administration have repeatedly labeled news outlets as "biased," "dishonest" and "fake news."

"Spicer's combative posture during these press briefings signal that the White House is on the defensive," McKee said. "This can be taken as a reflection on the president himself since his press secretary acts as a direct messenger between the Oval Office and the media."

propel Tech to the win.

“It was 2-2 at that time, and on my first atbat, I struck out,” Hargrove said. “So, that time with the runners on base, I was just trying to go up there and have a good at-bat and try to make contact and just score the guys that got out in front of me. Luckily, I did that.”

In the top of the first, Lanning walked sophomore Golden Bear outfielder Jonah Davis to put a man on first with no outs.

Junior infielder Denis Karas came up to bat, but was thrown out at first for out No. 2. The hit to center field from sophomore designated hitter Tanner Dodson brought Jonah Davis home to put Cal up, 1-0.

Freshman outfielder Grant Little was up to bat first and was walked to put him on first base.

Junior infielder Michael Davis got up to bat and hit a triple, which sent Little home to tie the game, 1-1.

With Michael Davis on third, junior infielder Tanner Gardner stepped up to the plate and was walked. This put Red Raiders on first and third with only one out as junior designated hitter Zach Rheams was up to bat.

Gardner stole second to put runners in scoring position. Rheams hit a fly ball to left field, which resulted in two outs as the first inning ended, 1-1.

Honors College to screen ‘I Have a Dream’ speech

By BRANDI ADDISON Staff Writer

Texas Tech’s Honors College will screen Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, followed by an open discussion from 3–4:30 p.m.

Tuesday in the Escondido Theater of the Student Union Building.

A l i z a Wo n g , a s s o c i -

ate professor of history and associate dean of the Honors College, said the WONG college wanted to host an event to recognize the contributions of African-Americans to American history in honor of African-American History Month.

One month is never sufficient to recognize the accomplishments and efforts of so many different men and women, Wong said.

“This seemed like an appropriate way to talk about some of the issues that are happening today but also to look back historically at the struggles and the challenges that African-Americans have faced in the United States,” Wong said.

The variety and diversity of people in the U.S. who contributed to change is not always recognized. Even though U.S. history and Texas history are required classes in grade school for all Texas students, not all narratives are given equal importance, Wong said.

People who study American history must recognize the multiple voices and multiple people who have risen to different challenges and helped define the U.S. as a nation and as citizens, she said.

During the event, Wong said it is important that the entirety of the speech is screened because most people

sistant professor in the history department, and Bryan Hotchkins, assistant professor in the educational psychology and leadership department, will serve as faculty panelists.

Atira Hinton, service chair of the Black Student Association, and David Young, president of the Black Student Association, will serve as student panelists.

Young, a graduate student in technical communication and rhetoric from St. Robert, Missouri, said the screening should be a discussion on how the dream has transitioned throughout the years.

“Revisiting iconic messages, such as Dr. King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, provides us with an opportunity for open dialogue,” Young said. “This particu-

lar speech was delivered 50-plus years ago, and we should talk about how the dream has shifted over time. Is there one penultimate dream that we all work towards making reality? If so, what does it look like in 2017?”

This event allows everyone to reflect as well as project and interrogate the meaning of big concepts such as the dream, he said.

“I’m sure that many of us have thoughts regarding what the dream looks like, and now, we have an opportunity to discuss all of these thoughts as a group,” Young said. “Hearing these different perspectives will undoubtedly prove enlightening, which is what I’m most looking forward to.”

TRUMP

"While it's not unprecedented for the White House to have negative media relations, the retaliation we've seen as a result is certainly unprecedented," Sean Cunningham, an associate professor of history and chair of the department of history, said.

"Even going as far back as Spiro Agnew in Nixon's administration, Spicer is just as intense and confrontational at times."

The practice of discrediting the media through carefully constructed rhetoric is a timeless political strategy, Cunningham said.

However, many maintain the belief that there is relevant concern over liberal bias among some media organizations when providing news coverage.

"News corporations are run by financial moguls with agendas that undoubtedly affect political

decisions," he said. "Even if it doesn't show all the time, these executives will be doing everything within their power to influence public opinion for their own benefit."

Objectivity and fairness are sometimes thrown to the wayside during media coverage of news events, Cunningham said. At times, news outlets are more concerned with breaking news before their competitors rather than upholding journalistic integrity.

"When Donald Trump is telling his supporters to distrust the media, he is appealing to the conservative base of individuals who have been taught not to trust the media from the very beginning," Cunningham said. "(Trump) benefits greatly from attacking the media in this way."

are familiar only with the inspirational part about unity, she said.

“The whole speech also includes a call to action,” Wong said. “It asks all of us as citizens to fight for social justice and to fight against inequality and inequity.”

The panel is meant to challenge everyone within the university to take on their passions and bring them to the university, she said.

Preceding the speech, there will be a group of panelists who, first, will reflect on what the dream means in 2017, she said, and then will engage the audience for responses.

Wong said she hopes the audience members comment on what the dream means for them as individuals and question if the dream needs to encompass more people and other issues, such as sexuality, identity and gender.

The panelists include two faculty members and two students.

“We wanted to get as wide expertise and experience as possible,” Wong said.

“Time is fleeting, yearbooks are forever.”

Wi t h a b a c k g r o u n d as a multi-billion-dollar businessman, it is clear that Trump is unfamiliar with being regularly factchecked when making public statements, McKee said.

In this situation, the media is fulfilling its role in holding the White House accountable for truthfulness.

The Trump administration's decision to block several news organizations from a White House news briefing on Friday was widely covered and condemned by media outlets. The Guardian, The New York Times, Politico, CNN, BuzzFeed, BBC, The Daily Mail and The Los Angeles Times were all denied entry to the briefing, according to The Boston Globe.

Muhammad Ali’s son asked, ‘Are you Muslim?’ by border agents Muhammad Ali’s son, who bears the boxing great’s name, was detained by immigration officials at a Florida airport and questioned about his ancestry and religion in what amounted to unconstitutional profiling, a family friend said Saturday.

Ali Jr., 44, who confirmed his Muslim faith, was detained about two hours, despite telling officials that he’s Ali’s son and a native-born U.S. citizen, said Chris Mancini, a family friend and attorney.

Returning from a Black History Month event in Jamaica, Muhammad Ali Jr. and his mother, Khalilah Camacho Ali, were pulled aside and separated from each other on Feb. 7 at the immigration check-

point at Fort LauderdaleHollywood International Airport, said Mancini.

Camacho Ali was released a short time later after showing a photo of herself with her ex-husband, the former heavyweight boxing champion, Mancini said. But Ali Jr. was not carrying a photo of his world-famous father — a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

It was the first time Ali Jr. and his mother have ever been asked if they’re Muslim when re-entering the United States, Mancini said.

“From the way they were treated, from what was said to them, they can come up with no other rational explanation except they fell into a profiling program run by customs, which is designed

to obtain information from anyone who says they’re a Muslim,” Mancini said in a phone interview. “It’s quite clear that what triggered his detention was his Arabic name and his religion.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Daniel Hetlage confirmed Saturday evening that Ali Jr. was held for questioning by customs officers, but said “it wasn’t because he’s a Muslim and it wasn’t because of his Arabicsounding name.”

The agency said in a statement that its officers process more than 1.2 million international travelers daily with “vigilance and in accordance with the law.” It said it does not discriminate based on religion, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation.

Tech hosts Southwest Collegiate Chess Championship

1

By AKHILA REDDY Staff Writer

On Saturday, the Knight Raiders, the Texas Tech chess club, hosted the Southwest Collegiate Championship.

The Southwest Collegiate Championship, according the Tech chess website, is a tournament with five rounds of chess.

It was hosted in the west suite of Jones AT&T Stadium from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and participating universities comprised of Tech, University of Texas at Dallas, University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley, Texas State University and University of Oklahoma.

The winner of the championship was Tech's team A, which was followed by the Rio Grande Valley team B and the University of Texas at Dallas team C. Each team consists of three players, and each

university can send as many teams as it wants.

“We all come together and play a blitz tournament,” Opal Gonzales, unit and outreach coordinator for the chess program, said.

“So, it’s just like really fast games, and it’s just five rounds, and it’s just like really for fun.”

The tournament is not rated and has no effect on players’ standings, Gonzales said. It was just a way for players to practice for upcoming competitions and meet other chess players from different universities.

The first competitions attracted beginners as well as more experienced players and grandmasters.

The Tech players from the Knight Raiders, who are heading to the Final Four of College Chess in New York City in late March, also competed.

“I think (the confer-

ence) is a very good way to show other schools and show these other players what Tech has,” Gonzales said. “They can come see our amazing campus, come see our amazing facilities.

It’s also a good way to bring the community in and have them see really, really good, high-rated players play.”

Alex Onischuk, Tech chess program director and coach, is an international grandmaster, the highest rank possible for a chess player. He has been coaching the Tech chess team for about four and a half years.

Tech has an excellent team, Onischuk said, but the other schools are also good. Collegiate chess is competitive. Support from the administration as well as scholarships have allowed Tech to develop its chess team.

“I like everything about

coaching, especially winning," Onischuk said. "We all like to win, and we have won several competitions.

This is why we train. This is the part we probably enjoy the most.”

Salem Al-Sao, a senior biology major from Palestine, is a team member in the Tech chess program as well as secretary of the Knight Raiders chess club. He competed in the Southwest Collegiate Championship.

Al-Sao began playing chess in his first year of college, and then transferred to Tech in part because of its excellent chess program.

As part of Tech’s chess team, Al-Sao said he has made lifelong friends and traveled to many places.

“I get to meet a lot of great people and just have a lot of fun with my friends,” Al-Sao said. “Chess games are always a lot of fun, and you learn a lot through it,

Playing chess in a competitive environment is different than playing on a regular day, Al-Sao said.

There is nowhere else the players would be on a Saturday morning than playing chess.

Al-Sao personally invited many colleagues and friends to play. He said his favorite part of the competition was watching them participate in the games along with the rest of the attendees.

The following is a compilation of what to do and not do when going through a breakup.

I wrote it because I am going through a breakup. A breakup with my husband.

The most important thing to remember is that it’s OK to be sad. It’s OK to cry, too. You should fully feel the emotions the breakup brings, so you can move on.

Sitting in your emotions and just letting yourself feel will bring clarity and healing. It’s hard in the beginning, but allowing yourself to be sad for a while

will help you move on.

It’s also important to focus on yourself and your well-being. Don’t isolate yourself. If you feel like you c an’t t al k t o your friends, there are multiple resources on campus.

The Student Counseling Center is a great resource. It has a relaxation room and a crisis line if you need immediate help.

There is also the Family Therapy Clinic and the psychology clinic, which are both great resources if you feel overwhelmed.

Along with emotional support to take care of yourself, be sure to do things that make you happy.

I always find that after a breakup, I do things I’ve always wanted to do but never did. It can be something small or something big.

Also, remember: Don’t rebound. I know it’s hard not to fill that void with another person, but don’t do it.

All you will do is delay dealing with the breakup and all the emotions associated with it.

and take time to get to know yourself as a newly single person.

Don’t let society tell you what you want; decide that for yourself. I know we grow up with fairy tales centered around finding “the one,” but don’t feel like you need to be in a relationship.

T h a t ’s h o w s e t t l i n g happens. And I think we can all agree that none of us want to settle.

Instead, work on being happy with yourself.

Along with being happy with yourself, surround yourself with positive people in your life who support you.

There’s nothing worse than going through a tough time, and unfortunately, sometimes people you trust can bring you down even more.

So, surround yourself

with positivity; it will drastically change your thinking.

Focusing on these things has helped me cope and accept moving on.

There’s no way to prepare for a breakup, but taking care of yourself after a breakup needs to be a priority.

While there’s no way to prevent the pain associated with a breakup, I hope these tips soften the blow and help you move on to live an exciting and fulfilling life.

Getting stood up contributes to maturity

L

ast week, I was looking forward to a date.

The date was at 2 p.m.

Wednesday in Starbucks.

A young lady from Tinder and I cordially agreed upon this fine hour.

While we had confirmed this day and time, it is typical to reconfirm the date — even if you have already confirmed it — on the day of the rendezvous.

To give ample time for her to respond, I sent the confirmation text a few hours before.

After I sent the text, I periodically checked my phone. However, that magic buzz did not come from my phone.

By 2 p.m., the phone had remained silent for so long that I knew the date was canceled.

Now, I would have canceled any plans, skipped any class, left a funeral or walked out of my job for this date.

Her silence was a clear indicator that she did not feel the passion that had engulfed my mind.

While that aforemen-

Oh, how I hate shortlived romance.

When a plan is formally created — i.e. mutual acceptance of an activity followed by the establishment of a date and time for said event to take place — it adopts the risk of being cancelled.

If it is later rescinded by the female party — either by use of an excuse or just plain silence — what is known as a “swerve” occurs.

This act of “swerving” is not merely relegated to the world of Tinder.

Leading said lady to the conclusion that we have things in common, I request to exchange information.

Here, an interesting phenomenon occurs.

While a woman gives me her number — I assume because she is afraid to let me down in person — she later will swiftly ignore my text when I attempt to court her.

T h i s p a s s i v e “ s w e rvage” surprisingly packs a stronger punch of sadness than active “swerving” — when a woman denies to give you her number outright — would.

This punch is because with every number I receive, I am given a glimmer of hope.

I think, “This might be the woman I have lived my whole life to meet.”

As I mentioned earlier, these women are likely too afraid to let me down in person.

The truth is, one cannot weed out the “swervers” and avoid the heartache.

Differentiating a

“swerver” from a “wooer” is impossible, making “swerves” an inevitable aspect of the dating game.

However, you must endure an immense struggle to sight the sincere among these dodging lassies.

Ducks Unlimited hosts clay shoot for wetlands conservation

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

One of the most productive habitats in the world, wetlands contribute to the overall health of the environment by reducing damage from flooding, improving water quality, and enhancing fish and wildlife habitats.

The Texas Tech chapter of Ducks Unlimited hosted its first clay shoot as a way to raise money for the conservation on wetlands.

People signed in for the event at 8 a.m. on Saturday. Once signing in was finished, a safety meeting took place, which dealt with aspects such as loading and firing only two shotgun shells at a time.

Heath Edgerton, president of Ducks Unlimited and a junior agricultural economics major from Midland, said the purpose of the event was to raise money for both the chapter and for conservation of wetlands.

The organization is a world leader in the conservation of wetland habitats, Edgerton said.

a room full of people that are just sitting there and listening to us,” Howley said. “Frankly, that’s terrifying. We want to have a room full of people who are willing to get up and do some dancing, clap along, sing along and be a part of the show with us.

For us, that is the goal.”

When Howley was in college, he got to experience cultures other than his own. He hopes students take the opportunity to come watch the concert because it will be something they have not seen before.

Howley said the band members are full of energy and tell lots of jokes dur-

Ducks Unlimited.

Skeet shooting is a lifelong sport in contrast to other sports such as football, Stokes said.

“When we’re older, we’ll still be able to hold a gun up or sit in a wheelchair and do it maybe,” Stokes said.

Skeet shooting can be enjoyed regardless of a person’s age group, Stokes said, and it also provides an opportunity to make good connections with people across the country.

After each team made 50 shots, participants made their way back to the main site of the event, where the winning team was announced and a prize of four pistols made by the Taurus firearms manufacturing company was presented.

Cameron Fischenich, a guide for Final Descent Guide Services and a senior geoscience major from Lubbock, said he was somewhat surprised his team won. He thought his teammates did better than himself.

Final Descent Guide Services is a company that helps people have

the opportunity to hunt waterfowl in the Texas panhandle, according to its website.

Fischenich said he hopes the organizations that competed are able to bring more people out to the shooting range.

“It’s just good to have kids and family members, and there’s nothing wrong with learning good gun safety. That’s a big thing about what these guys do here at the Lubbock Shooting Complex,” he said.

The shoot was fun, Fischenich said, and he hopes to double the number of people who sign up next year.

The conservation of wetlands is important because they play a pivotal role in maintaining the balance in an ecosystem, Edgerton said. “ Wi t h o u t t h a t , y o u know, we don’t have any sort of bedding areas or waterholes, per se,” Edgerton said, “for native wildlife like deer and larger mammals or smaller mammals, and wetlands are just absolutely critical for waterfowl habitat, as well.” @KirbyWarner_DT

Jordan Peele's 'Get Out' receives big $30.5 million debut

Joseph Wapner dead at 97

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Great reviews and buzz propelled comedian Jordan Peele's directorial debut, the micro-budget thriller "Get Out," to a chart-topping opening weekend with $30.5 million according to studio estimates Sunday.

The Blumhouse-produced and Universal Pictures-distributed film cost an estimated $4.5 million to make. While it was expected to perform well against its budget, few people foresaw a debut this big — especially with a relatively unknown star in Daniel Kaluuya leading the film.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Joseph Wapner, the retired Los Angeles judge who presided over "The People's Court" with steady force during the heyday of the reality courtroom show, died Sunday at age 97.

S o n D a v i d Wa p n e r told The Associated Press that his father died at home in his sleep.

Joseph Wapner was hospitalized a week ago with

Storm chasers honor Paxton Nearly 200 storm chasers paid tribute Sunday to the late actor Bill Paxton by spelling out his initials using GPS coordinates on a map depicting the heart of Tornado Alley.

The effort coordinated by Spotter Network spelled out "BP" to honor the leading man in the disaster movie "Twister," which inspired a generation of storm chasers.

Storm chasers and storm spotters have spelled out the initials of fellow chasers in the tight-knit community four or five times before, but never for someone who hasn't directly "made a significant contribution to the field," said John Wetter, president of the nonprofit that tracks the positions of tornado chasers and works with the National Weather Service to update weather forecasts.

The storm chasers spelled the initials on a map that was centered a r o u n d Wa k i t a , O k l a homa, a real town in the heart of Tornado Alley that served as the set for almost all of the movie.

Part of the reason is positive reviews. "Get Out" has a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is extremely rare for a thriller and only added to the excitement going into the weekend according to Universal's President of Domestic Theatrical Distribution Nick Carpou.

"Jordan Peele is an absolute talent," he said. "As we got closer and closer to opening, it's amazing how many people were rooting for it."

Peele, who most audiences know for his sketch comedy work on the series "Key & Peele," wrote and

directed the film about a black man who travels upstate to meet his white girlfriend's family.

Even without Peele in the film, audiences turned out in droves to experience the high concept horror pic. According to exit polls, African Americans comprised an estimated 39 percent of the opening weekend audiences, while Caucasians made up 36 percent, and a whopping 49 percent were under the age of 25.

ComScore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian predicts the film will also have staying power in the marketplace.

"Social media is going to keep this movie front and center," Dergarabedian said.

"Get Out" effectively pushed "The Lego Batman Movie" into second place.

The animated family picture added $19 million this weekend and is now up to $133 million after only three weeks in theaters.

"John Wick: Chapter Tw o " t o o k t h i r d p l a c e with $9 million, while the Matt Damon-starrer "The Great Wall" took fourth with $8.7 million — down 53 percent from its opening last week.

"Fifty Shades Darker" rounded out the top five with $7.7 million.

breathing problems and had been under home hospice care.

"The People's Court," on which Wapner decided real small-claims from 1981 to 1993, was one of the granddaddies of the syndicated reality shows o f t o d a y. H i s a f f a b l e , no-nonsense approach attracted many fans, putting "The People's Court" in the top five in syndication at its peak.

Tech closes out Easton Bama Bash with 4-0 win Texas Tech defeated Gardner-Webb, 4-0, on Sunday to close out the Easton Bama Bash in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The Red Raiders went 2-3 at the bash and are now 8-7 on the season.

Sophomore infielder Jessica Hartwell and senior outfielder Kierra Miles each scored two runs in the game.

“I still don’t think we are playing at the level we need to play at,” Tech coach Adrian Gregory said in a Tech Athletics news release. “We won today, but I still don’t think we are playing well. We have to find passion, our joy for the game and we have to be able to come through in tough situations. All weekend here, we didn’t play our best games. We were able to get some key hits today, but we still didn’t play the game the right way. That’s our continued test.”

Freshman right-handed pitcher Kassidy Scott pitched

six innings in the game and allowed five hits and one walk. Senior right-handed pitcher Mattison Maisel came in during the seventh inning to close out the game, according to the release.

The first run of the game came from Hartwell in the bottom of the second when senior infielder Brittany Warnecke flied out to center field.

Tech continued to score in the bottom of the fourth when Scott hit a double to left field, which allowed Miles to score.

“Yesterday, we played great through six innings, and we’ve got to be able to finish the seventh and close it out,” senior infielder/outfielder Devon Thomey said in the release. “We’re glad to get the win today and take that into our first home weekend.

It will hopefully give us some momentum going forward.”

The final runs of the game came in the bottom of the sixth when Hartwell doubled

to left center, which allowed Miles to score her second run of the day. Then, sophomore midfielder/infielder Kenzie Davis hit a single to shortstop and allowed Hartwell to score her second run of the day.

Tech is now 2-0 all-time against Gardner-Webb, and Gregory is 55-65 all-time with Tech. The Red Raiders also tied a season high with four stolen bases in the game, according to Tech Athletics.

Next, the Red Raiders will host the Texas Tech Invitational. Tech will play UTEP at 4 p.m. Friday and then face Wichita State at 6:30 p.m. that same day. All Texas Tech Invitational games will be at Dan Law Field.

Tech will face UTEP again at 3:30 p.m. Saturday and then face North Texas at 6 p.m. the same day. On Sunday, Tech will close out the invitational at 1 p.m. against North Texas. @JackDensmore_DT

Mitchell helps Ohio State win share of Big Ten title Josh Hamilton might need another surgery on knee PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Kelsey Mitchell and Ohio State accomplished one of their main goals for the season — winning a Big Ten title.

The 12th-ranked Buckeyes clinched a share of the conference championship

with a 73-45 win over Rutgers on Sunday as Mitchell scored 21 points. It’s the school’s first Big Ten title since 2010.

“We had to work really hard for it which makes it that much better,” Mitchell said, clutching a red Big Ten championship

hat. “We have a lot of things we still have left to do.”

The Buckeyes (25-5, 15-1 Big Ten) finished in a tie with Maryland atop the conference, but earned the top seed in the tournament next week by beating the

Terrapins last Monday. It’s Ohio State’s first conference regular season since the school won six straight from 2005-10. The Buckeyes have won 15 Big Ten titles overall, no other team in the conference has more than nine.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton went to Houston on Sunday, facing the possibility of another knee surgery in his bid to return to the majors.

Hamilton will be examined Monday by Dr. Walt Lowe, who performed reconstructive surgery on the former AL MVP’s left knee last June.

The Rangers acknowledge Hamilton might require arthroscopic knee surgery. If he does, Hamilton would likely be out four to six weeks and then need a minor league rehab assignment.

“We’ll know once Dr. Lowe sees him,” Rangers assistant general manager Mike Daly said. “Josh felt and Dr. Lowe felt that he needed to go back down and get an evaluation.”

Hamilton was examined

by Lowe in Houston last Wednesday after his knee flared up in running drills.

He was given a platelet-rich plasma injection to alleviate the discomfort.

Hamilton returned to camp on Thursday and he experienced discomfort after riding a stationary bike for two days.

The 35-year-old Hamilton played just one game in the minors last season while recovering. He was medically cleared in December and signed a minor league contract with Texas.

Hamilton was a five-time

All-Star as an outfielder. He has been working out this spring at first base to put less wear and tear on the knee.

Hamilton has not played in more than 90 big league games in a season since 2013.

In 2010, he hit .359 with 30 home runs and 100 RBIs. In 2013, he hit 43 home runs with 128 RBIs. “It is disappointing for Josh,” manager Jeff Banister said. “I feel for him.

He came into camp feeling good. I’m sure that for him, this is a challenge.”

“This is a player that still has talent and capability.

The curiosity is how long can a guy do it for and do it consistently,” he said.

There’s always a chance, too, that Hamilton might never play again.

“I don’t think anybody wants to take it to that extreme,” Daly said. “Josh has stated that he wants to play.

That is why he is in camp. He wants to play and we want him to play. We’ll see what happens after Dr. Lowe looks at him.”

Hamilton has a $24 million contract for 2017 and the Los Angeles Angels are obligated to pay the Rangers $22 million to cover most of it.

This is the final season of the $125 million, five-year deal he signed with the Angels as a free agent before the 2013 season, though they

No. 7 Louisville rebounds with 88-68 win over Syracuse LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Extra practice to improve free throw shooting yielded payoffs in other areas for Donovan Mitchell and Ray Spalding.

Mitchell made six 3-pointers for 25 points, Spalding added 18 points with 11 rebounds and No. 7 Louisville shot 57 percent to pull away for an 88-68 victory over Syracuse on Sunday.

Seeking a second-place tie with Florida State in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Cardinals rode a 14-4 run entering the break for a 15-point lead that grew to 23 early in the second half. That provided a buffer against shaky play Syracuse used to get within 11 but never closer as Louisville (23-6, 11-5) rebounded from its loss at No. 8 North Carolina .

“We came out with energy, which was a good sign,” said Mitchell, who shot 9 of 16 from the field to lead four Cardinals in double figures.

“If we continue to play with the energy we played with in the second half, keep playing collectively and not let the press get to us, we’ll be fine.”

A revamped starting frontcourt featuring Spalding helped as the sophomore forward made 8 of 9 attempts

to tie a career high in points while posting his second career double-double. He had just 23 points in his previous 10 games.

Louisville outscored Syracuse 38-22 in the paint in the process, success Mitchell attributed to a late-night workout with Spalding after returning from Carolina.

Deng Adel had 17 points and Quentin Snider 12 with six assists as Louisville completed a season sweep of Syracuse.

Tyus Battle had 20 points and Tyler Lydon added 17 for Syracuse (17-13, 9-8), which had sought a follow-up to its buzzer-beating win over No. 10 Duke . The Orange made just 20 of 56 from the field (36 percent).

“We got some good shots but just weren’t making them today,” said Battle, who went 7 of 17 from the field.

Syracuse: The Orange entered 3-2 against Top 10 schools — including Wednesday’s nail-biter against the Blue Devils — but their tournament hopes had no room for error. Besides being outshot, they were outrebounded 39-28 and committed 10 of their 16 turnovers in the first half.

Tech shuts out West Texas A&M, 4-0 After defeating Abilene Christian, 3-1, on Saturday, Texas Tech closed out the weekend, shutting out West Texas A&M, 4-0, on Sunday at John Walker Soccer Complex.

The Red Raiders have replaced four seniors from the 2016 squad including All-Big 12 goalkeeper Lauren Watson. Sophomore Carissa Christensen took Watson’s place in the net for the 2017 season, according to Tech Athletics.

During the signing period, Tech added 11 studentathletes to its roster.

In the first game of the of the season, Abilene Christian got on the board first, 1-0. Then, the Red Raiders answered back with a goal of their own to tie the game, 1-1.

In the second half of the game, Tech went on to score two more goals to take the lead and the win, 3-1.

The Red Raiders entered the game against West Texas A&M with a 1-0 record.

Three of the Red Raiders’ goals were scored in the first half with one coming

in the second.

With Sunday’s win over West Texas A&M, the Red Raiders are 2-0 on the spring season.

Freshman forward Tatum Barton scored two of the three goals, both of which occurred in the first half.

Junior forward Natalie Schmutz scored the first goal of the game to give Tech the early 1-0 lead.

The last goal of the game came from sophomore midfielder Jordan Duke in the second half to seal the win for the Red Raiders, 4-0.

Schmutz and Duke both scored one goal in the 2016 fall season, according to Tech Athletics.

Next, Tech will travel to Northwestern State at 3 p.m. on March 4.

Then, the team will face New Mexico at 2 p.m. on April 15.

The next home game, and also the last game of the spring season, will be against Air Force at 10 a.m. on April 22 at the John Walker Soccer Complex. @JackDensmore_DT

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 After freshman infielder Brian Klein was struck out, Little was up next with one out and capitalized at the plate as he hit a line drive to center field, which put him on first. Michael Davis drove the momentum and put Tech on top, 2-1, as he hit a double to the outfield gate, which sent Little home.

“I thought Grant (Little) had some good at-bats today,” Tadlock said. “He obviously applied some pressure and really separated balls and strikes well and hit some balls hard.”

Jeffery Mitchell Jr. shot one to the infield, which allowed Dodson to score and tie the game, 2-2. Tech grabbed the first out of the inning after the hit to Lanning, which he threw to first base. Cal had runners on second and third.

The Red Raider defense capitalized in the top of the

fifth, tagging runners and striking out batters, while Cal was unable to score.

Berglund started off the bottom of the fifth for Tech, as he was walked to put him on first base. Klein stepped up to the plate and almost

hit the ball out of the park, but it bounced off the wall.

His hit resulted in a double, which sent Berglund to third with no outs.

The barrage of hits resulted in Cal’s pulling Reyes from the mound and replacing him with sophomore right-handed pitcher Joey Matulovich.

The bats consistently scored as Hargrove stepped up to the plate and hit a grand slam sending four runners in for Tech to take the lead, 6-2. Tech held the lead going into the sixth inning.

Freshman right-handed pitcher Jake McDonald stepped on the mound to relieve Lanning for the day. Lanning is now 1-0 on the season.

When it comes to the Red Raiders pitching, Tadlock said Lanning was the player to watch out for on the mound.

“I thought Erikson (Lanning) commanded the fast ball,” Tadlock said. “His fast ball is enough to pitch him out of some stuff and pitch him out of some jams. I thought he did a good job. A sign of a
