That is a great development for our team,” UK head coach Matthew Mitchell said. “We were able to score enough points to hold off a tough Ala- bama team today. I thought that they played really hard and really put a big run on us there in the second half. They never gave up.” After falling behind to the Tide ear- ly 13-10, UK broke the game open with an 11-minute run in which they only surrendered one field goal. During the 32-4 stretch, the Cats forced 10 Crimson Tide turnovers and held them to 1-for-12 shooting from the field. The run was fueled offen- sively by two 3-pointers from junior guard A’dia Mathies and three from senior Keyla Snowden. “We had some good moments and got out to a big lead,” Mitchell said. The Tide stuck around in the sec- ond half and had the UK lead down to 11 on three different occasions. “I know that we had an uncharac- teristic second half of defense,” Mitchell said. “I didn’t think that we gave a Kentucky-type effort in the sec- ond half and that is disappointing.” The Cats turned the ball over 17 times, committed 26 team fouls and were outrebounded 47-41. “It was almost as if we thought if we got a certain amount of points ahead that Alabama was going to go away,” Mitchell said. “That certainly never happened today.” Snowden, who led a balanced scor- ing attack for the Cats with 14 points, understood the Cats let their foot off the pedal in the second half. “I just thought that we had a lack of intensity,” Snowden said. “We are going to come back and work harder and be ready for the next game against Ole Miss. We are going to try and put this game behind us and learn from it so we don’t have this type of game again.” Mathies, who added 13 points, feels the team let up on the defensive end in the second half. “We just did a poor job on de- fense,” Mathies said. “We let them go where they wanted to go, and weren’t denying like we are capable of or pick- ing the ball up in transition. It’s really on us, we have got do a better job of that.” The Cats secured their 20th win of the season for the third straight year. Its 20-2 record is tied for the best start ever for the program. “It’s special to get 20 wins,” Mathies said. “Especially like the two years be- fore I came here, and just looking at the program, it’s a big turnaround, and I’m just glad we can keep the momentum going. We have a lot of talent and people that care. Twenty wins is a great thing.” The Cats (20-2, 9-0 SEC) next face the Ole Miss Rebels (12-10, 2-7 SEC) at 7 p.m. Thursday at Memorial Colise- um. “You aren’t going to paint a master- piece every Sunday afternoon and every Thursday night,” Mitchell said. “To be able to earn a victory is signifi- cant and we are glad to have it.” By Les Johns [email protected]PHOTO BY QUIANNA LIGE | STAFF UK guard A’dia Mathies goes for a layup in a win over Alabama.

LOS ANGELES — A series about horse rac-ing led by Dustin Hoffman and Nick Noltesounds like a sure thing. But “Luck,” whichdebuts Sunday night on HBO, is so nuanced itmay alienate viewers who don’t spend everySaturday afternoon at the track.
That’s just fine with creator David Milch.“It’s an act of faith,” said Milch, who pre-
viously challenged audiences with “Dead-wood” and “John From Cincinnati.” “I thinkyour fundamental responsibility is to stay trueto the deepest nature and intention of the ma-terial, and that’s what we did.”
But at what cost? I’ve seen the first sixepisodes and I’m still scratching my head.
Here’s what I do know: Hoffman playsChester Bernstein, a recently paroled mobsterbent on turning the Santa Anita racetrack intoa casino while double-crossing his formerpartner.
He’s aided by Gus Demitriou (Dennis Fa-rina), whose main function appears to be keep-ing his boss company at night with conversa-tions that will remind you of the nightcapsshared by William Shatner and James Spader
on “Boston Legal.”Nolte, who just received an Oscar nomina-
tion for his turn in “Warrior,” portrays a soul-ful horse trainer betting big on a brilliant horseand a spunky jockey (Kerry Condon).
What else is “Luck” about? Beats me.In the pilot, a group of track regulars try to
score on a Pick Six, a game that Milch refusesto explain to viewers. Michael Mann confess-es that he still doesn’t know how it works —and he directed it.
“There’s a tremendous responsibility intaking on this narrative,” said Mann, whohelmed “The Insider” and “Heat.” “It’s verycomplex and filled with wonderful characterswhose lives we just immerse into without prel-ude or context. That challenge was very excit-ing to me.”
“Luck” may be enigmatic, but it is gor-geous to watch. Mann’s coverage of the racehorses, shot with small cameras hung fromlight rigs invented just for the show, is asbreathtaking as the cinematic tone he estab-lished for “Miami Vice.”

pounds of equipment. After a short break, other contestants were
let up the stairs. Henry Smith, a UK law student, was
among them. “I trained by running up and down the
stairs of the Patterson Office Tower,” Smithsaid.
He has participated in 5K races before, buthas never competed in a tower run.
Smith said he would participate againnext year because he now knows what it islike.
“I can pace myself and do better,” he said.The idea of running up the steps for fun
might be a new one for most, but for thoselike Nugent, a tower run is a familiar con-cept.
“I ran the Leukemia and Lymphoma run inSeattle twice, and I’ve also done one in Balti-more,” Nugent said.
After running, contestants could partici-pate in warm-down stretches on the second
floor, enjoy complimentary mini-massagesand enjoy food and musical entertainment inthe tent outside of the building.
After a raffle and a short contest whereparticipants guessed the total number of stairsclimbed by all the runners that day (the an-swer was 214,488 stairs), the winners were an-nounced.
“I was pretty happy with my time,” Sweatsaid after he completed the race. “I paced my-self and got under four minutes, which is whatI was aiming for.”
Antonio Stuckey, a church pastor andmaintenance electrician, was less happy withhow he performed.
“If I could’ve paced myself, I would’vedone so much better,” he said.
However, most seemed satisfied with theevent itself.
“There were plenty of people. They did areally good job,” Sweat said.
Deckard, the event coordinator, comment-ed on the possibility of doing the event againnext year.
“Prospects for next year look very good,”Deckard said. “We may add to it, with maybea run or a bike ride to make it more challeng-ing.”

Steele’s Reels: ‘Haywire’stands out in spy genre
Highly trained opera-tive Mallory Cane (GinaCarano) has been to someof the most dangerous cor-ners of the world, rescuinghigh-profile hostages andbringing down dangerouscrime lords.
Her super spy companyis contracted by the U.S.government and consists ofonly thebest talentin special
weapons and tactics.Unfortunately for Mallo-
ry, some loose ends from herlast mission have made herthe victim of a double-cross-ing clean up mission by hervery own company.
Now, Mallory must un-cover the truth and exposethe corruption that threatensthe lives of those closest toher in order to stay alive.
“Haywire” is a very dif-ferent kind of action movie.The minimalist approach tothe fighting and stunt choreography is abreath of fresh air in a market oversaturatedwith special effects.
To put it lightly, these scenes make yourjaw drop in awe of the ass-kicking movesperformed by MMA superstar Carano.
Don’t let her other profession fool you.Her acting displayed some of the most natu-ral and convincing emotions I’ve seen for arole like this.
Carano aside, this movie has an incredi-bly talented ensemble, boasting high-profilenames like Channing Tatum (“Dear John,”“GI Joe”), Michael Fassbender (“X-MenFirst Class,” “Inglourious Basterds”),Michael Douglas (“Wall Street,” “Fatal At-traction”), Ewan McGregor (“Ghost Writer,”
“Big Fish”) and Anto-nio Banderas (“Puss inBoots,” “The Legendof Zorro”).
Director StevenSoderbergh (“Conta-gion,” “The Inform-ant”) displays his usualcharismatic yet simpli-fied flow in story-telling.
Without gettingbogged down in unnec-essary character details,“Haywire” focusesmainly on the action,while allowing you toinvest in Mallory’s
character just enough to make the experi-ence worthwhile.
Simply put, this is one of the best spymovies I have ever seen, and that’s saying alot.

Cool Cats split 2 against Illinois
The Cool Cats faced offagainst Illinois last weekend,splitting a pair of games 4-2and 0-5.
Saturday night’s actionwas the least impressive ofthe two outings, as UK wasoutshot and outplayed for themajority of the game.
UK managed 22 shotsthroughout the game, com-pared with Illinois’ 59. “Wegot outworked,” senior cap-tain Billy Glass said.
“But it helped that we wonlast night (Friday), so we havethat to build on going into theshowcase next weekend.”
The first period wentsmoothly for the Cats. Bothteams played physically andgenerated many scoring op-portunities on both sides.
There were times whereUK hesitated on open looks atthe net and failed to capitalizeon key chances, missing thenet or turning the puck overin the slot.
UK was able to stay inthe game through a stellar
first period performance bysophomore goalie Aaron Ten-felde, who stopped all 18 Illi-nois shots. At one point anIllinois pass to an open manin the slot caught Tenfelde outof position, but he was able tostretch out and make a spec-tacular save with his glove.
The second period startedwith neither team having theupper hand as the score wastied at zero. However, UKcouldn’t stay out of the penal-ty box, resulting in two Illi-nois power play goals.
UK was out-hustledthroughout the second period,as Illinois threw a two-manforecheck at them. They alsohad trouble breaking out ofthe defensive zone, resultingin turnovers and scoring op-portunities for Illinois.
“I thought we workedwith them; they are a hungry,quality team,” head coachRob Docherty said.
“They won more battlesfor loose pucks. We workedwith them but we gave itaway in the second,” Docher-ty said. “The game lasts for60 minutes, and we have toplay all three periods.”
The third period sawmore of the same from UK’soffense, as they struggledwith penalties and couldn’tseem to find the back of thenet on scoring opportunities.
However, UK playedphysically in the third periodwhich was keyed by a mon-strous hit from freshman for-ward Charlie Hales, who bar-reled into an Illinois wingerand planted him flat on hisback near the boards.
Though it was a toughloss for UK, the team lookedat it optimistically.
“We’re not going to getdown on ourselves for theloss,” Glass said. “We’re justgoing to see what we need towork on, and bring that intothe showcase next weekend.”

Bob Fosse’s original chore-ography, as well as tap danc-ing.
“My favorite part was thepuppy dog boogaloo duringthe Fosse dance,” said TiasonLockridge, a psychology sen-ior.
The songs of the per-formance were “I Wanna Be
A Dancin’ Man,”“Me and My Shad-ows” and “Bye ByeBlackbird.”
“This reallyopened the perform-ance up to anothergenre of dance be-sides the moderndancing,” Thielsaid. “We reallywant people to be-come familiar withit.”

We teach our youth the“golden rules:” To treat oth-ers the way they would likebe treated, to share, to tellthe truth and to forgive. Forthe 2,600 people serving alife without parole sentencein a U.S. adult prison forcrimes they committedwhile under age 18, accord-ing to a 2009 HumanRights Watch report, theselessons no longer apply.
These individuals havealready been deemed as liabil-
ities who are dangerous because they failed toadhere to society’s virtues, and they mustserve their sentence accordingly. But, in actu-
ality, it is the American society who has failedthem.
The U.S. system of youth incarceration isan injustice that is severely out-of-step withinternational law, which rejects the practice oftrying adolescents as adults and administeringlong sentences. Incarcerating young people isnot only costly; it is unfair and ineffective inprohibiting crime.
According to the Office of Juvenile Justiceand Delinquency Prevention, young peoplewho are transferred from the juvenile justicesystem to the adult criminal system areapproximately 34 percent more likely to be re-arrested for a crime than those kept within thejuvenile court system.
This isn’t surprising considering the limit-ed services, lack of positive role models and
prevalence of violence within adult facilities.Adult facilities fail to provide youth with
the educational and rehabilitative servicesneeded at their stage of development. Withoutthe suitable educational merits or vocationaltraining, youth offenders who are releasedback into their communities are even lesscapable of becoming employed and achievingeconomic success.
Adult facilities also place youth inimmense danger of becoming sexual victims.
“More than any other group of incarcerat-ed persons, youth incarcerated with adults areprobably at the highest risk for sexual abuse,”the National Prison Rape Elimination Com-mission reported.
And with juveniles comprising only onepercent of adult jail inmates, the Bureau of
Justice Statistics’ report that 13percent of all inmate-on-inmatesexual violence victims wereyouth under the age of 18 is trulysickening.
Adult facilities fail to keepyouth safe from violence as well,and most often young people aresegregated into isolation or soli-tary confinement, which regularlyconsists of being locked in smallcells with no natural light for 23hours a day, according to the Cam-paign for Youth Justice. Theseconditions can lead to paranoia,anxiety, mental disorders andincreased risk of suicide.
The grim reality is that youthsdetained in adult jails are 36 timesmore likely to commit suicide thanthose housed in juvenile detentionfacilities.
Is this justice? Should a youngperson’s future be determined by achoice he or she made before theircognitive abilities fully devel-oped? Were these individuals sim-ply born monsters or did they
make an adolescent mistake due to their lackof maturity?
In 1982, a jury sentenced Kevin Stanfordto death for a crime he committed when hewas only 17 years old. Stanford received weakrepresentation at his trial. No attempt wasmade to challenge damaging testimony or topursue the two witnesses who identifiedanother individual being at the murder scene.Another key piece of evidence — Stanford’ssocial history — was also never presented tothe jury.
The all-white jury that convicted theAfrican-American teenager was neverinformed of his life filled with neglect, mal-treatment and violence, as well as sexual,physical and mental abuse.
The fact is that youth offenders, like Stan-ford, often grow up in a home that fails toteach society’s “golden rules.” Youth offendersare often raised in impoverished environmentsand experience a combination of neglect, vio-lence, poverty and physical, sexual or psycho-logical abuse. These conditions, the Interna-tional Justice Project reports, decrease one’sability to make choices rationally.
Trying youths as adults and administeringlong sentences is a pervasive and profoundissue shaping communities because of thenature of power. It is unfair for society to placeimmense punishment on an individual wholacks control of their living conditions,impulses, emotions, judgments and identity.
When prosecuting young people as adults,emphasis should not be placed merely on thefacts of the crime. We must also examine andpresent the individual’s social history.
Ultimately, we have all already failedthese youth offenders by failing to intervene inthe detrimental, often horrific, circumstancesof their life. We cannot fail them again when itmatters most — deciding their future.

UK rolled to a 6-0 recordon Saturday, defeating No. 22Tulsa 4-1 in the Intercolle-giate Tennis AssociationKickoff Weekend.
By winning against Tulsa,the Cats advanced to theround of 16 in the NationalIndoor Championships forthe third straight year.
Overall, it’s the fifthstraight round of 16 the Catshave made, including the pasttwo indoor tournaments andtheir outdoor appearances
over the last couple seasons.The deciding match of
the tournament didn’t in-volve Eric Quigley or Antho-ny Rossi, as would be ex-pected — it involved sopho-more Alejandro Gomez,who’s ranked No. 111 in thenation. Gomez’s big win onthe final day of the kickoffweekend clinched the matchfor UK.
After splitting the firsttwo sets against Tristan Jack-son, Gomez suddenly wenton a roll, dominating the thirdset with a 6-0 victory. Thescore of the match was 6-3,
3-6, 6-0. While there’s no doubt
Gomez was impressive, hewasn’t the only one. Hismatch may have been thebiggest, but his teammateswere rather impressive also.
Fifth-ranked Eric Quigleywas impressive, taking hismatch 6-3, 6-4. Thirty-sixth-ranked Anthony Rossi — justa couple weeks removedfrom his championship in theSEC Coaches’ Indoor tourna-ment in Lexington — alsoplayed well, winning 7-5, 7-5.
Tom Jomby was the
team’s fourth winner, whileAlex Musialek and Panav Jhadidn’t finish their matches(both were winning their re-spective games when playwas halted).
UK remains undefeatedon the season, and it has beena great beginning for a verypromising team.
Cedric Kauffmann, UK’sassociate head coach, was es-pecially proud of the sopho-more class, saying he was“particularly happy” withhow the sophomore athleteshad been performing.
Since 2009, the Cats are47-9 on their home court,making a big statement toother teams coming to town.
The team won’t continueinto the National Champi-onships’ round of 16 untilFeb. 17, but in the mean-time, the Cats will play hostto Pepperdine noon on Sun-day.
Sophomore’s big night ‘what we’ve been waiting for’UK
might havehad its“coming ofage” gameinLouisianawith a 74-50 winover LSU.
Agame thatmade itlook likeUK might
be on its way to five moregames in the state — threein the SEC Tournament andtwo in the Final Four.
“That’s probably the bestwe’ve played all year,” headcoach John Calipari said, ac-cording to quotes distributedby CBSSports.com.
And if Terrence Jonesplays like he did Saturday,those goals become thatmuch more attainable.
Jones scored a season-high 27 points, grabbed ninerebounds and played theway a Terrence Jones run-ning on full throttle can play.
In one stretch thatspanned the late first half
and early second half, Joneswent on a personal 13-0 run.Jones scored on a dunk orlayup four straight times, in-cluding a three-point play tofinish his spree.
Calipari said this type ofgame from the sophomorewas “what we’ve been wait-ing on.” It finally came.
But it has to continue.“If this is who you are,
then this is who you shouldbe every game,” Caliparisaid.
UK is starting to separateitself from the rest of the col-lege basketball pack. It’s thenear-unanimous No. 1 team.It’s undefeated in conferenceplay and a point away frombeing undefeated, period.
The main thing Caliparihas said must happen forUK to totally split awayfrom the pack, to assert itselfas the unquestioned domi-nant team in basketball, is tonegate physical play.
UK did that againstLSU. Who did it start with?Terrence Jones.
“Now you’ve got a 250-pound guy who’s not back-ing away,” Calipari said.
If Jones isn’t backingaway, he’s closer to beingwhat Calipari called himback in October — one ofthe top three players in thenation. He hasn’t expressedthe same sentiment since.
He wishes he had. AsCalipari said, if he knew thesecret to getting Jones play-ing like he did against LSUevery game, he would haveresolved it “a month ago.”Instead, a 27-point gameserves as a reminder of whatcould be, what should be.The talented sophomore tak-ing the reigns of a talented,young team.
“That’s the guy,” Cali-pari said, “that people wantto play with and coach.”
