Election season begins for three SGA campaigns Blair Kuykendall

To kick off this year’s coverage, The Daily Beacon caught up with presidential candidates Jake Baker, Lindsay Lee and Christian Powers, for an introductory Q&A session. The goal was candor. None of the campaigns received advance notice about the interview questions.

‘Spring Awakening’ previews Sex Week Justin Joo

Staff Writer Students can get a preview of April’s Sex Week with this weekend’s production of “Spring Awakening.” At the first event of Sex Week, students will be able to see a staged reading of the Tony Award winning Broadway rock musical in the Carousel Theatre at 8 p.m. on Saturday. “Spring Awakening” explores the negatives and positives of sexual discovery. Based off a 19th century German play with the same name, the musical looks at topics such as abortion, homosexuality, puberty, rape and pregnancy, as a group of teenagers begin to discover their sexuality. The music combines elements of alternative and folk-infused rock. Jacob Clark, a junior in College Scholars, helped coordinate the event. He said that although the musical could be grim at times, its overall message is a positive one. “The main message, as dark as the play can be and as sad

as parts are, it’s very positive,” Clark explained. “ … The end is very positive. It embraces sexual expression, but it makes sure that you need to know to do it safely and realize what you’re doing.” The performance will be a staged reading, so there won’t be elaborate sets or costume changes. However, the musical’s message will still be prominently featured and have an impact. The play will feature UT students, local musicians and other performers, as well as Terry Silver-Alford, a music theatre lecturer, directing the music. The staged reading will be free and open to the public. Seating is general admission. “Spring Awakening” is the first event of Sex Week, a weeklong program in April that will feature dozens of events and speakers discussing a variety of topics on sexuality. Both events are coordinated by the student group Sexual Empowerment and Awareness at Tennessee, or simply, SEAT. Clark and Brianna Rader, also a junior in College

Scholars, founded SEAT back in August. The two wanted to do a Sex Week at UT after seeing the program’s success at other universities such as Yale and Harvard. It started when Rader, then a member of Issues Committee, hosted speaker Megan Andelloux to UT back in March 2012. Andelloux is a renowned speaker on sexuality issues who frequents college campuses. The event’s success prompted Rader to work with Clark on expanding the discussion on sex at UT for a full week. “The speaker came, it was a fairly good crowd, it was very successful, the students loved it, so I was like, ‘Okay, we should expand this idea,’” Rader recalled. “So I approached Jacob … and that’s when we decided to go through with the idea.” The two created SEAT after realizing they needed to be members of a student group in order to coordinate an event on UT campus. “Sex Week is our main function,” Clark said. “SEAT’s main

goal is to put on Sex Week.” He added that in the future, SEAT plans on doing more than just Sex Week, such as working in partnership with other student groups who put on events in line with SEAT’s goal of sexual education and discussion. Some of the events of Sex Week include a return of speaker Andelloux, discussion about virginity and transgender issues, free HIV testing, a panel on the law and sexuality and a discussion on how to talk to your doctor about sex. Clark said that SEAT had originally hoped to present “Spring Awakening” closer to the start of Sex Week, but logistically it didn’t work out. “We really wanted it to be on campus,” Clark explained. “It’s difficult for people to go off campus a lot of the times. But we were able to get the Carousel Theatre on this weekend, so we took the option.” Those interested can see the full schedule for UT’s Sex Week at http://sexweekut.org/ schedule/.

Rising country star releases debut album Youth Lagoon album

focuses on new sound

Christy Cleger

Staff Writer It was a breezy, October night in Fort Worth, Texas, and hundreds were gathered in La Grave Field downtown to hear headliners Casey Donahew, Josh Abbott and Aaron Watson play Ranch Bash 2010. During Abbott’s set, he brought out a friend to sing a fan-favorite, “Oh, Tonight.” The Texas native was dressed in a casual, Aztecprint dress and cowboy boots — had one not been a fan of the Josh Abbott Band, they wouldn’t have even known her name: Kacey Musgraves. That wasn’t even three years ago, and Musgraves is now set to release her first studio album, “Same Trailer Different Park,” on March 19. Musgraves’ sound is comparable to a more refined Miranda Lambert, her longtime friend. Musgraves co-wrote Lambert’s hit-song, “Mama’s Broken Heart,” off Lambert’s fourth studio album, “Four the Record.” She has also recorded demos for the likes of Lambert and Martina McBride, but this past year brought Musgraves into her own spotlight. Today everyone knows her by her Top 25 track, “Merry Go ‘Round,” which will be featured on the album and is also the song that the album name came from. Musgraves has a way of crafting her lyrics into a way that calls attention to what should be recognized in life. She showcases this ability in “Merry Go ‘Round” by wittily manipulating the storyline to mirror a classic nursery rhyme with a darker twist. The song is about living in the South and growing up in a trailer park. The best way to describe the hit is as a beautiful tragedy. The chorus goes, “Mama’s hooked on Mary Kay, brother’s hooked

Country music artist Kacey Musgraves will release her new album, “Same Trailer Different Park,” on March 19. on Mary Jane, and Daddy’s hooked on Mary two doors down/Mary, Mary quite contrary/We get bored so we get married, and just like dust we settle in this town on this broken merry go ‘round.” But her lyrical abilities don’t stop there. Opening “Same Trailer Different Park” is “Silver Lining,” a slow, optimistic song that starts off with, “Woke up on the wrong side of rock bottom,” and ends, “If you wanna fill your bottle up with lightning, you’re gonna have to stand in the rain.” It’s about how people easily take things for granted, and if we want to have the happy things in life, we have to get a little dirty and take some risks to get there. “Blowin’ Smoke” is a tease at the Southern trailer park stereotype: smoking cigarettes, having babies young

and getting married and divorced, and just wasting the days away. The gritty, acoustic sound suits the roughness of her play on lyrics, especially with “Brenda’s traded smokes for cake, still hadn’t lost that baby weight, and that baby’s about to graduate … college.” “Step Off” seems like a song Musgraves targeted at a certain person because she writes, “Step off/You’re getting too close to me with all your negativity/Just get lost.” The banjo she incorporates into it really brings the feel of southern twang into the song. “Follow Your Arrow” is one of her concluding tracks, which she recently released for purchase on iTunes. It’s a slower one, but playful and arguably her wittiest track on the entire album. It starts, “If you save yourself for marriage, you’re a bore/

If you don’t save yourself for marriage, you’re a whore-able person.” The lyrics put off a message to just live one’s life and not worry about what people think. In the chorus, Musgraves sings, “So make lots of noise, and kiss lots of boys … or kiss lots of girls, if that’s something you’re into.” It’s a lighthearted way to conclude the album. Musgraves has a great combination of serious and silly, slow and fast tracks on the album. She is a skilled lyricist who can tell a story as great as Johnny Cash, and her ability to switch between multiple string instruments and harmonica shows her musical capability. She encompasses everything that it takes to be a great country artist. “Same Trailer Different Park” is available for preorder on iTunes and is set to be released March 19.

Twenty-two-year-old Trevor Powers, more commonly known as Youth Lagoon, set the bar high for himself with his first album, “The Year of Hibernation,” which was released in 2011. His sophomore album, “Wondrous Bughouse,” released March 5, includes 10 tracks. Most of them time out at over five minutes long, due to a shift of focus. Forget about remembering lyrics, because his tracks are far from sing-alongs. Unlike most popular artists, Youth Lagoon focuses more on the musical composition, adding a refreshing element to today’s music industry. His tracks, containing very few lyrics, are sung in a drawn out manner and are deliberately overshadowed by the unique, soulful sounds created. Music can be much more powerful than words, soaring past the mind into the soul. The music experienced in this album surpasses thoughts, allowing for mental relaxation, something definitely useful for an overly stressed college student. He makes a dramatic entrance with “Through Mind and Back,” a track completely absent of words. When listening, it’s possible to imagine someone cautiously wandering through a dark maze, the beat marking every obstacle blocking the traveler’s path. About midway through another element is added. It’s a sort of crackling that seems to hasten the pace, as if something is in pursuit of the lone traveler. The last 10 to 15 seconds of this intro track transforms into a slower, more technical sound, like a robot coming to life. Maybe each obstacle succeeded marked a point of transformation into a more complex being, which was being haunted by its past. With a relaxed mind, greater ideas are accessible. The second track, “Mute,” is anything but quiet. It has an awak-

ening feel to it, like it marks the new beginning of this transformed creature. This fresh start is happier, filled with more of a natural curiosity and less of the fear of what is to come. The powerful composition is accompanied by the undertone of droning lyrics, which are almost unnecessary. On the contrary, the barely audible and seemingly whistled lyrics in “The Bath” elevate the track. Represented in this piece could be the ups and downs of life. The music starts off slow, as if the traveler is trudging through one of life’s low points, but progresses into a heightened pace, like enjoying the peaks of the journey. “Raspberry Cane,” the longest tune, is a bit dark. Youth Lagoon turns up his own volume as he sings such lyrics as, “I’m polluted by my blood/ So help me cut it out/ And rinse it down the drain/ Everybody cares/ Everybody cares.” The tune depicts the hopelessness one might feel when seemingly immobilized by an obstacle, but it is delivered in a tone saturated with a deep melancholy, not full of rage or hatred of life. Although the lyrics are dark, the delivery is peaceful; it’s a sad thought being expressed, not the fulfillment of a paralyzing action. This record, including the seemingly dark “Raspberry Cane,” is perfect for bringing the listener to a tranquil, meditative state. It’s an ideal choice to plug into right before a big exam, the stressful cram session, or even while drifting off to sleep. It won’t bore you into a slumber, but it’s reminiscent of Enya (minus the lovely voice) in the way the music calms the mind, which then calms the body. “Wondrous Bughouse” was made available worldwide thanks to Fat Possum Records, which is deserving of elevating Youth Lagoon by featuring him as an artist. It can be purchased on fatpossum.com, fye.com and other websites.

Assistant Sports Editor Following another tournament on the road, the Volunteers’ baseball team returns to Knoxville for a weekend series against Alcorn State. The Vols (4-7) dropped two of three while competing in the USA Baseball Tournament in Cary, N.C., but continue to show signs of being close to breaking through. “It’s what the coaches refer to as mentality plays,” infielder Scott Price said. “There are times, say, early in the game where we have a runner on third and less than two outs and we don’t score him. Well, that one run early in the game didn’t seem like a big deal but later in the game that’s a run that we needed.” The Vols dropped a tough game to No. 22 Notre Dame in 12 innings, 3-2. They followed that test with a win against the University of Massachusetts, 6-4, in the two schools’ first meeting. Tennessee bookended the weekend with a 7-3 loss to No. 25 Virginia Tech. “I thought we played some good baseball this past weekend,” head coach Dave Serrano said. “Again, it’s just our guys not playing the entire time and we had some slip-ups that cost us in the end.” One bright spot for the Tennessee baseball team over the past week was the play of sophomore third baseman Will Maddox. Maddox hit a sizzling .556 with a .778 slugging percentage and five RBIs over the last week. “Will has been really good for us at the top of our lineup.

We just need to get some other guys to start getting timely hits behind him,” Serrano said. Even though Maddox is just a sophomore, older players look up to the third baseman due to his work ethic and hard play. “I’m a junior, and he (Maddox) is older than me, but I find myself looking up to him,” Price said. “He’s one of the hardest working players I have ever seen.” The Volunteers will have to opportunity to get back on track and build confidence against a struggling Alcorn State team. “Baseball is a game of confidence,” Serrano said. “We need some of our younger guys to get warmed up at the plate and start playing with some more confidence.” The Braves enter the weekend with a 2-12 record. “It doesn’t matter if the opponent enters unscathed or is not very good, that isn’t the point,” Serrano noted. “They are on our schedule and we have to go out and be better than than them this week and continue to get better as a team.” Senior Zach Godley will take the mound Friday for the Volunteers and will look to continue a season that has started well for him, though his record might not show it. “I feel like my pitches have been working pretty well,” Godley said. “I haven’t gotten the results I’ve wanted in terms of wins, but we’re playing well.” Tennessee and Alcorn State will meet at 6 p.m. on Friday and will have noon starts on both Saturday and Sunday.

For UT’s men’s and women’s diving teams, the final stop in the road toward the NCAA Championships begins at the Allan Jones Aquatic Center next week. Teams from around the region, including half the SEC, will send divers to compete in the NCAA Zone B Championships in one or more of the three events, 1-meter and 3-meter springboard and the platform. Unlike collegiate swimming, in which a qualification time can be reached throughout the season, in diving the only way to qualify for the NCAA Championship is through competing and succeeding at the Zone Championships. In Zone B, which is one of five zones nationally in which all NCAA swimming and diving teams are broken up into, only 10 women and five men can advance to compete in the limited pool in the NCAA Championship, of which only 41 women and 35 men compete. To complicate matters, the determination of the 10 female divers and the five male divers (a number determined by the performance of the past year’s divers from Zone B) works its way through a complicated series of priority matches. Regardless of the jargon, one objective about this weekend, as emphasized by twotime SEC Diver of the Year Tori Lamp, is that the path to NCAAs runs through the Zone Championships. “No matter how you’ve done all year, beside having to qualify for Zones, it doesn’t matter,” said Lamp, a redshirt junior. “If you’re sick or hurt that weekend, ... then that’s it. You only have one chance to qualify. It doesn’t matter if I’d won the conference or not, I still have to show up at this meet and qualify.”

For Lamp, this amount of pressure makes Zones a unique meet. “It’s the most stressful,” she said. “Once you get to NCAAs, there’s nowhere else to go, so you want to go out, do your best and enjoy the process. But at Zones, it’s really stressful because you want to qualify.” The uniqueness of this meet is an opinion shared by head diving coach Dave Parrington. “I’m a big time competitor and I’ll admit, this is not my favorite meet,” he said. “… It’s a one shot deal. We could have an Olympic Gold Medalist, and if they’re sick, tough luck.” Competing for the Vols on the women’s side will be Lamp, senior Jodie McGroarty and freshman Samantha Lera, and for the men, seniors Brent Sterling, a two-time NCAA qualifier, and Jordan Mauney will take to the boards. For the women, Parrington has high expectations. “Tori and Jodie have been there before and would be considered strong candidates to return,” he said. “… It would probably be an upset if they didn’t. And as for Samantha Lera, our freshman, had an outstanding SECs for a freshman and I expect her to be in the mix.” As for the men, however, who face a tougher road with fewer available qualifying slots, Parrington is less certain. “There are going to be some All-Americans left home at this meet,” he said. “… But with the nature of this meet you never know. There’s always someone whose not supposed to qualify and does, and there’s always someone that should that doesn’t.” In a meet like this, which is seemingly centered on individual accomplishments, the team element cannot be ignored. “It comes down to personal performance really, because everyone else is trying to get

And once you make it, you worry about them.”

Hometown problems inescapable Emily DeLanzo Managing Editor To me, I feel at home in a camper popped up in a different state. Hometowns never bore much significance to me because of my family’s excessive camping and traveling as a child. I was born and raised in Brookhaven, Miss., but when it came to where I call home, I always choose Newport, Tenn. I grew up near some of the most interesting people. As my father said, “The neighbors here are some of the best. Just don’t piss them off.” Living in Cocke County basically guarantees a gun in every household and sometimes even behind each door. My hometown came with a bad history and an even worse culture. The idea of tradition revolved around teenage pregnancy and illegal behaviors like cock-fighting or marijuana farming. My elementary school career goals can best be defined as wishful. I wanted to go to college and become a teacher, then come back and share my love of alternative cultures, books, fungi, prepositions — anything. I saw potential in each of my classmates whether or not their parents ever considered it. As the years went on and we grew up, I saw less and less of their desire to learn and cultural riffs became more apparent. I came to UT desperate to escape Cocke County and its close-mindedness and the arrogance that filled every single one of its residents. GIT-R-DONE was all that mattered — well, that and social issues like gays ruining the sanctity of marriage and teenage pregnancy being a better option than sex education. I couldn’t take it. A few days ago I watched as my Facebook feed blew up with people posting a link to a CNN video highlighting the overpopulation in the Cocke County jail as well as the county’s addiction to prescription pills like roxicodones and oxycotins and God knows what else in between. In the video, I saw faces I recognized.

Girls I went to high school with. Then I realized, this isn’t just Cocke County’s problem. It’s my problem, too. As much as I have openly loathed and resented and mocked my neighbors and my peers from my hometown, I am just as much one of their community. I may not hold the same religious code or political view, but I cannot place blame and take the high road at the same time. The problem within areas like my hometown only partially fall on the citizens who refuse to break the cycle of broken marriage, addictions and illegal behavior. The rest of the blame falls on those who do manage to escape and pursue higher education. And then either by the grace of God or their determination to get the living hell out of the area, never come back. You can’t expect for the one or two poor souls that feel tied to the area, by family or by obligation, to return and change the entire outlook of a community bound by twisted tradition. I spent a decade trying to outrun my downhome demons. I think in May I might just have to face them.

The study of history is intended, first and foremost, as a means of understanding people: the way we operate, the way we understand the world around us, and the way that we have changed and evolved over time. Although many other disciplines study people and society, history is unique in its approach because it looks to the past as a means of understanding the present. Looking to the way that things used to be sometimes reveals the great steps that society has made, and sometimes it shows how little people have changed over time. Either way, the purpose of studying history at all is to expand our worldview and help us understand that just because things were once one way does not mean that they have continued, or should continue, to be that way. So imagine my surprise when someone in one of my upper-level history classes declared confidence in the belief that all women, even women who work outside of the home, have a natural desire to return home every day to cook, clean, and care for their children. I make no excuses about the fact that I am a feminist, nor do I expect everyone to immediately believe what I do. I furthermore do not deny the fact that many women enjoy homemaking and housekeeping, and I do not scorn them for their choice at all, the reason being that it was just that: a choice. We no longer live in the Victorian era when the only women who worked outside the home did so out of economic necessity, and the ability for a woman to not work was a privilege and a sign of status and wealth. We no longer live in the postwar era when women were forced out of the jobs that they

had taken over during the war and only permitted work in specific sectors like teaching or clerical duties. We do not even live in an era when the word “feminist” carried enormously radical connotations. Women today can work, vote, and advocate for their rights without fear of being seen as overly masculine or threatening. History clearly demonstrates the progress that women have made in revoking traditional gender roles. Women’s history, to some extent, is taught or mentioned in almost every history class. Every student of history has been reminded of the women’s movement at the turn of the century and of feminism in the modern age. They are taught how women have gained ground in showing that they are just as capable of working outside of the home as men, indicating that the archaic myth that women’s “natural” love of cooking and cleaning has been debunked given the vast number of women who deliberately choose to work outside the home. Many still love to cook for the joy of it, and everyone has to clean whether they like it or not. But the pattern of history has revealed that there is no overwhelming natural tendency of women to stay in the home — if given a choice, many will happily choose to work elsewhere. There will always be people like my classmate who cannot grasp the absurdity of those gender roles based solely on pseudoscience and societal norms. Many are still raised in parts of the country that continue to emphasize this belief. But being open to new ideas is required to be successful not only in history classes but also in an increasingly diverse world. The joy and the benefit of education is to teach us to be open-minded and to embrace new ways of thinking, and no one ought to know this better than students of history. — Sarah Russell is a senior in history.

Like the minority of anti-federalists early in our country questioning the viability of a more consolidated government, it is more than just a valuable skill to recognize dangerous societal precedents as they are developing. It’s a strength that unfortunately only a minority possess, and it does indeed take strength to resist the momentum of social and cultural zeitgeists. I have learned that the anti-feds weren’t merely about emphasizing states rights, but more specifically were a group that had a problem with not being completely reassured that the language of the Constitution would guarantee the rights and freedoms of people in the move towards the consolidation of military and commercial powers. A recent article in The Wall Street Journal, “Is Smart Making Us Dumb?” by Evgeny Morozov, gives a lot of great examples of how ever cheaper and more available sensor technology will have an effect on culture in general. Perhaps the most immediate and controversial consequences of sensors is information — once only displayed to you — networked with the databases of social media and otherwise. Even the simplest application of sensors to objects you once had autonomy over revolutionizes the process. A fork might just be able to approximate if you’re eating too fast. But online services that interact with social media can link to the function of existing sensor services by simply organizing or contextualizing the information and displaying it on your Facebook or Twitter — like comparing the number displayed by a scale you step on with a diet you’ve claimed to have started — to latently encourage a certain kind of behavior. Sensors in pill bottles could be linked to your doctor or pharmacist to display how many are left — both potentially a helpful health reminder when taking a sensitive medication like an antibiotic as well as a safeguard against abuse in controlled substances. Predictably, whether a sensory enhancement is “good smart” or “bad smart” has a lot to do with how much control we still have over

the activity as well as how the power of the Internet — usually in regards to the linking of activities with databases — comes into play to help or hinder that. Dynamic, large databases are extremely powerful can be a cause for good when giving people information that can be used to enhance their decision without hindering their ability to make it. At the grocery store, and when using resources like electricity, this kind of feedback can encourage people to make constructive decisions regarding themselves, community and environment with both selfish and social motivations by displaying up-to-thesecond information used to inform, not control. In this way everyday activities can lead to positive change on a wide scale while maintaining and even enhancing individual liberty — and still netting a profit for the service providers. Flowing the other direction, using databases to micromanage activities like driving to affect things like our insurance premiums would erode liberty under the same excuse of a more stable society — but with the profit motive looming the in background, that dubious shepherd of social well-being. Online services that encourage “good” behavior with social media gimmicks, according to Morozov, lie somewhere in the middle — and he’s right. He goes on to say: “A more humane smart-design paradigm would happily acknowledge that the task of technology is not to liberate us from problemsolving. Rather, we need to enroll smart technology in helping us with problem-solving. What we want is not a life where friction and frustrations have been carefully designed out, but a life where we can overcome the frictions and frustrations that stand in our way.” What we need are assurances that technological forces like Google are committed to our liberty and autonomy — the vagueness of the Constitution regarding this has clearly proven to possess profound weaknesses with great human cost. When Eric Schmidt says pretentious things like “people will spend less time trying to get technology to work ... it will just be seamless ... “ they aren’t just annoying, but they reek of that same arrogance seen throughout history that downplays the inevitability of human error, leaving the cycle quite unbroken. — Wiley Robinson is a senior in ecology and evolutionary biology.

Bright future for Tennessee athletics

Lady Vols welcome No. 1 Alabama Austin Bornheim

Assistant Sports Editor With the No. 1 team in the country coming to town over the weekend there is a different sort of buzz around the Lady Vols’ softball complex. “It’s great to finally start SEC play and who better to start the conference season against than the defending national champions,� senior Kat Dotson said. The Lady Vols (19-3) return home to host Alabama after reeling off five straight wins during the Buccaneer Invitational last weekend. “We were able to get back on track and worked some things out at the plate after losing some games we felt like we should have won,� Lauren Gibson said. “We feel good about where we’re at heading into this series.� No. 8 Tennessee and Alabama (22-1) are no strangers. The two met for a double-header last season in which the two split, and they met once more during last season’s College World Series where the Crimson Tide defeated the Lady Vols 5-3 in the tournament’s first game. “We played each other well last year,� co-head coach Ralph Weekly said. “We are familiar with one another and off the field we are two program’s that like one another, but when we step onto the diamond it’s all business.� The two teams’ stat lines are eerily similar. The Lady Vols and Crimson Tide’s team batting averages are just .004 points apart (.346 and .342 respectively), and team ERAs are a minuscule 0.10 different (in favor of Tennessee). Pitcher Ellen Renfroe believes it will come down to whoever can outwork their opponent. “When the stat lines are as close as they are and we are as equally matched it’s going to come down to who can grind it out,� she said. “Whoever gets

From the perspective of the seniors graduating in May, the major Tennessee athletics programs have been more than just disappointing; they’ve been kind of depressing. In the past four years, Tennessee football has seen three head coaches, Lane Kiffin, Derek Dooley and now, Butch Jones. Men’s basketball went through NCAA violations and lost one of the best — if not the best — coaches in the history of the program, Bruce Pearl. Even the basketball Lady Vols, who have won the SEC title every year except in 2011 (they have won the SEC Tournament every year), lost the greatest coach of all-time, Pat Summitt. Maybe I’m being optimistic, but as a freshman I’m really looking forward to the future of UT athletics. When I look at these teams and coaching staffs, I see a great deal of success in the upcoming years for these three programs, and so I’m going to take this time to give a rundown of what I expect from these programs for the rest of

HOUSES FOR RENT

my Tennessee career. I’ll start with football. I was skeptical of Jones in the beginning, but after his introductory press conference and this year’s recruiting class, he’s got me on board. Next year may be rough, but give Jones some time (more than three years, please) and let him build this program. I feel like Tennessee will be in good hands. I’m not going to be one of those crazy “we need to win now� fans because, honestly, those people are ridiculous. I don’t expect a national title, I don’t even expect an SEC title; all I want to see is three more really good recruiting classes and an upward climb near the top of the SEC, maybe fourth or fifth. Ending this near decadelong losing streak to Florida would be really nice, too. For the men’s basketball team, next year is the year that I have my highest hopes for. If all goes right (i.e. Jordan McRae, Trae Golden, and Jarnell Stokes all forego the NBA Draft and return to UT), this team should win the SEC. With Jeronne Maymon returning, the impact freshman like Amani Moore and Derek Reese all getting better, and Robert Hubbs starting his career here in Knoxville, my hopes are high. After next year, Cuonzo Martin will probably have to do some retooling with that immense loss of talent, but I can still see this team as one that contends for an NCAA

Tournament bid every year, especially if he continues to recruit as well as he has been. While my expectations for the Lady Vols are by far the highest for all three, they are also the team that I feel is most likely to meet that expectation: winning an NCAA National Championship. Actually, winning multiple titles. This is a young team. Isabelle Harrison and Bashaara Graves should be the two best bigs in women’s basketball next year with Brittney Griner graduating. Ariel Massengale, Meighan Simmons and Cierra Burdick are three great players that will round out what I think will be the best starting five in the country. Not to mention, if there was ever going to be a coach good enough to replace Pat, it’s Holly Warlick. If you don’t believe me, think of what she has accomplished in her first year while missing what seemed like half her team to injuries. When I look back four years from now, I fully expect to be a lot happier with the state of Tennessee athletics than the seniors that will leave the university this year. I have faith that there will be a lot of UT success by the time I graduate, or at least I hope so. — Troy Provost-Heron is a freshman in journalism and electronic media.

Vols understand importance of strong finish Troy Provost-Heron Staff Writer

Following their 82-75 win over Auburn on Wednesday, the Tennessee Volunteers (1811, 10-7 SEC) will look to finish off the regular season strong against the Missouri Tigers (22-8, 11-6). For a bubble team like Tennessee, every game is huge, but against a team like Missouri who is a top 50 RPI opponent, the significance of this game weighs a bit more than other games. “We all know it’s important,” sophomore guard Josh Richardson said. “We all know what’s on the line here so if that doesn’t get us motivated I don’t know what will.” This game will not only be important because of the highly rated team the Vols will play but also because it is Senior Night for Kenny Hall and Skylar McBee and as junior

guard Trae Golden said, the biggest thing on Saturday will be getting in a win for those two. “They have meant a lot,” Golden said. “I’m really good friends with them so just playing for them and getting a win for them is probably the biggest thing.” A win for the Vols will be big in their attempt to get a bid into the NCAA Tournament, but junior guard Jordan McRae said that the team is trying to win for other reasons. “We just want to win the game,” McRae said. “Not because of those reasons (getting into the NCAA Tournament) but just because it’s a game we want to win to better ourselves for the SEC Tournament.” The Vols should be better suited to come away with this game if the defense is able to lock up Missouri’s point guard, Phil Pressey, who averages 11.9 points and 7.1 assists this

season. “He’s a great player,” Richardson said. “He sees the floor really well, he’s a little, quick guy so we can’t let him get in the middle of the floor in transition, that’s where he does a lot of damage.” Since switching to a four guard lineup for the Vanderbilt game on Feb. 13 the Vols have gone 6-1, but the in that span the Vols haven’t really played a team with the interior presence that Missouri has with Alex Oriakhi and Laurence Bowers. With that said, Golden believes that Missouri will be forced to switch their gameplan more than Tennessee will. “I think what we are doing is working,” Golden said. “I don’t think we really need to change anything. If anything, I think that they need to change their gameplan, instead of us changing our gameplan, so we’re going to go in looking to attack the same way we always do.”

Parker Eidson • The Daily Beacon

Sophomore guard Josh Richardson dunks against Florida at Thompson-Boling Arena on February 26.

Last Meeting: -This will be their first matchup in the SEC.

In the game against Auburn, Golden showed why he is so valuable to the team when he stepped up for 21 points on a night where McRae didn’t shoot particularly well from the floor. “I’m the quarterback of the team so obviously they are going to react very well to me,” Golden said. “I just try to make sure that, above anything, I’m always in attack mode and just getting guys involved and that’s what I try to do.” A large crowd is expected at Thompson-Boling Arena for when the game tips off at 4 p.m. “Guys just feed off the energy from the crowd,” Stokes said. “Jordan and Trae are definitely two of those guys who are very emotional when it comes to the crowd, they just feed off of it and you can tell by the way they play. As a team, we play much better at home.”
