For the 10th time inschool history and just thesecond time since 1991, theUK men’s basketball team isheaded to the National Invi-tational Tournament.

The Cats failed to heartheir named called Sundayduring the NCAA Tourna-ment Selection Show onCBS, becoming the fifthreigning national championto miss the tournament, andthe first since North Carolinawent to the NIT in 2010.

During the NIT SelectionShow later Sunday night, theCats were named the No. 1overall seed in the second-tier postseason tournament.They will face Robert Mor-ris on Tuesday night at 7:30p.m. on ESPN.

Because Rupp Arena willhost second- and third-roundNCAA Tournament games,the Cats will travel to RobertMorris, based just outsidePittsburgh. The game will beat the Charles L. SewallCenter, which holds 3,056fans — despite the Cats’

right to host the game as thehigher seed.

A statement released lateSunday by UK spokesmanDeWayne Peevy said due tothe NCAA Tournamentgames at Rupp Arena, therewould be “limited staffavailability to properly hosta game at Memorial Colise-um.” Peevy said should theCats advance to the secondand third rounds, thosegames would take place atRupp Arena.

It will be the first NITappearance since BillyGillispie’s final season inLexington in 2009, and UKhead coach John Calipari’sfirst appearance since 2005with Memphis.

“I’m really disappointedwe didn’t make the NCAATournament but we are go-ing to use this time to makeus better,” Calipari tweetedSunday night. “We had ourchances, but I’m not goingto stop. It’s a great lesson forthe future of our programand a humbling experiencefor me as a coach.”

PHOTO BY GENEVIEVE ADAMS | STAFFUK guard Ryan Harrow was emotional after the Cats’ loss to Vanderbilt in the SEC Tournament quarterfinal on Friday. “It’s on me. It’s all myfault,” Harrow said, fighting back tears. “I let everybody down.” The sophomore shot 2-of-15 from the field with four turnovers.

Success on the big stagehas not yet come for UK bas-ketball in 2012-13, with boththe men’s and women’ssquads falling short in theSEC Tournament and thenews Sunday that the men’sside won’t get the chance todefend its NCAA national ti-tle.

While the possibility stillremains for success in theNational Invitational Tourna-ment for the men, and theNCAA Tournament for thewomen, future Cats have al-ready been busy lifting tro-phies and cutting down nets.

Five UK signees werecelebrating over spring breakafter guiding their highschool teams to state champi-onship titles.

After falling one winshort of the Texas class Astate championship in 2012,Andrew and Aaron Harrisonfinally tasted glory by leadingtheir Fort Bend (Texas)Travis High School to the2013 title.

Point guard Andrew Har-rison was one rebound shy ofa double-double, scoring 16points and nine rebounds inthe 46-38 triumph over SouthGrand Prairie. Shootingguard Aaron Harrison pickedup eight points and seven re-bounds for the Tigers.

Scout.com ranks An-drew Harrison at No. 3 in

the Class of 2013, with olderbrother Aaron Harrison rankedat No. 4.

UK Hoops signees KyvinGoodin-Rogers and MakaylaEpps helped Marion County(Lebanon, Ky.) High Schooldefeat Notre Dame, 52-36, tocomplete an undefeated seasonand secure the state champi-onship.

Point guard Epps led theKnights with 15 points, six re-bounds and five assists, whileforward Goodin-Rogers added10 points and three blocks.

Earlier in spring break, 5-foot-10 Epps was named the2012-13 Kentucky Girls Bas-ketball Player of the Year.

It’s not just the class of2013 who have been climbingladders to hack down the ny-lon.

Karl Towns, UK’s firstsignee from the class of 2014,picked up 12 points, five re-bounds and three blocks as hisSt. Joseph’s (Metuchen, N.J.)High School won New Jer-sey’s Non-Public A title.

The 57-47 win over St. Pe-ter’s Prep made it two statechampionships in as manyseasons for the Falcons.

Since wrapping up theNon-Public A crown, St.Joseph’s has progressed to thefinal of New Jersey’s Tourna-ment of Champions, and willplay Roselle Catholic in the ti-tle game Tuesday.

Jonathan Groff, whoplayed Jesse St. James on theTV series “Glee,” visited UKon March 8 and enjoyed aperformance of Act One ofthe theater department’sspring musical, “SpringAwakening.”

Groff is an old friend ofLyndy Franklin and JeromySmith, the directors of theshow.

Groff is known for hisrole as Melchior, the malelead in “Spring Awakening,”on Broadway.

Following the UK De-partment of Theatre’s per-formance, Groff said he got

emotional because he’s neverbeen able to come to a schooland witness students workingon the show.

“I was a total wreck. Pret-ty much from the minute itbegan I started openly weep-ing,” Groff said. “It’s alwaysemotional to hear the musicagain and the words again,but to be here with this castthat’s doing it at UK, there’ssomething very special aboutthis group and special aboutthe kids that are doing theseparts. They’re just nailing it.”

LOS ANGELES — Quentin Tarantino’s“Django Unchained” will debut in China onApril 11, marking the first time a film by thewriter-director will screen in that nation.

The violent western, a box office hit forits backers Sony Pictures Entertainment andThe Weinstein Co., has so far grossed $241million overseas and $161 domestically.

It’s unknown how long a run “Django”will receive in China, but most foreign filmsscreened there are limited to a one-month en-gagement by the Chinese government.

But U.S. movies can still garner a tidy re-turn in a limited run: Ang Lee’s Oscar-win-ning “Life of Pi,” for example, took in $90.8million in China over the course of onemonth.

“Django,” for which Tarantino recentlywon the Oscar for original screenplay, hasstar power that could attract Chinese audi-ences. The movie features Jamie Foxx,Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz,who won the Academy Award for supporting

actor for his portrayal of a bounty hunterworking in the South in the late 1850s.

It’s not clear how the graphic film, whichcenters on a former slave’s quest to free hiswife from a cruel plantation owner, will res-onate with Chinese audiences. It is expectedto get a wide release in the country.

Los Angeles-based business consultantStanley Chao, author of “Selling To China: AGuide to Doing Business in China for Small-and Medium-Sized Businesses,” believesthat Chinese audiences would have no trou-ble connecting with the issue of slavery inAmerica and would support the movie.

“The Chinese in general know aboutAmerica’s past — they know about the badthings.” Chao said. “They learned aboutslavery and the Wild West in school. If theyhear about a U.S. movie that has violenceand gun-slinging, that will make them inter-ested to see it.”

home on March 9, many be-lieved the Cats would likelyget a bid to the tournament.But an early exit in the SECTournament quarterfinals atthe hands of 10 seed Vander-bilt changed that feelingdrastically.

UK never had control inthe 64-48 loss to the Com-modores in Nashville. TheCats held a lead just onetime, a one-point advantagefive minutes into the game.

Vanderbilt shot 47 per-cent from behind the arc,with five buckets from deepin the first half helpingVandy to a 14-point halftimelead that never fully deplet-ed.

The loss was particularlydifficult for sophomoreguard Ryan Harrow.

“It’s on me. It’s all myfault,” Harrow said, fightingback tears. “I let everybodydown.”

Harrow was 2-of-15from the field with fourturnovers and one assist.

“I’m just disappointedand I feel horrible for my

teammates. They deserved towin because they worked sohard,” he said. “If I wouldhave played well, we wouldhave won.”

The loss ultimatelydropped UK below the levelof fellow bubble teams head-ing into Selection Sunday.

The final four at-largeteams in the NCAA tourna-ment field were Middle Ten-nessee, SaintMary’s, BoiseState and LaSalle.

“The dif-ference be-tween MiddleT e n n e s s e eand some ofthe otherteams ... wastheir ability towin on theroad,” MikeBabinski, theChair of theNCAA Divi-sion I Men’s BasketballCommittee, said to CBS onSunday. “Watching (UK)play these last couple ofweeks without (freshmancenter) Nerlens Noel ... theywere unable to take theirshow on the road. They lost

by double digits to fourteams that aren’t in thefield.”

Louisville, Kansas, Indi-ana and Gonzaga are the No.1 seeds in the four regionalbrackets, with the Cardinalstaking the No. 1 overall seedafter winning the Big EastTournament on Saturdaynight.

The SEC received threebids, with

Florida (No.3 seed), Mis-souri (No. 9seed) andOle Miss(No. 12seed). ThreeSEC teamsmade theNIT field:UK, Ala-bama (No. 1seed) andTe n n e s s e e(No. 2 seed).

UK haswon the NIT twice, in 1946and 1976. The Cats lost in thetitle game in 1947. If theywere to win their first threegames, they would make theNIT Final Four, which is heldannually at Madison SquareGarden in New York City.

er, Franklin moved to NewYork and Groff decided to gowith her so they could roomtogether. Franklin soon starteddating Smith, and he eventu-ally moved in as well.

Groff originally plannedto go to college, but his senioryear of high school he landeda spot in the non-union na-tional tour for “The Sound ofMusic.”

“It was like a bus-and-truck tour, and we actuallyplayed in Lexington for theOpera House. It was one ofmy favorite venues becauseit’s such a beautiful theater,”Groff said.

Groff deferred his admis-sion to college to go on tour,and when it was over hemoved to New York.

He auditioned for “SpringAwakening” while living inthe Big Apple and was giventhe role of Melchior. Theshow was off-Broadway for afew months, but then made itto Broadway during the sameseason Franklin was in “AChorus Line.”

Groff said it was amazingjust being on Broadway thesame season as Franklin, butto add to the excitement, boththeir shows were nominatedfor Tony Awards.

“I was nominated for myrole in ‘Spring Awakening’and at the Tonys the opening

number was one from ‘AChorus Line.’ I sat down inthe audience with my mom,who was my date, and Ilooked up and she (Franklin)was standing directly in frontof me waiting for the bignumber to start,” Groff said.“I couldn’t believe that shewas there. It was truly one ofthe most amazing momentsI’ve had in my life becausewe shared so much togetherand then to have that momentwas pretty surreal.”

Even with his success, theUK cast members Groffworked with said he was stillhumble.

Michael Sheehy, who willplay the role of Melchior,said, “It’s absolutely amazingto meet someone likeJonathan. He is such a kind,generous, giving person, andhe’s so willing to work withus, especially to work withme. At no point did he makeme feel nervous. He was ex-cited to help me find the char-acter, and it’s just been ablessing and the best experi-ence.”

If Groff could give thestudents he worked with anyadvice it would be to seek thejoy in performing.

“There’s a certain eupho-ria that you feel performingtheater in high school, andI’m sure in college as well,that is very quick to evaporatewhen you move to NewYork,” Groff said. “It be-comes about competition andit becomes about the business,

so finding ways to connect tothat initial joy and to that ini-tial excitement is somethingthat’s important to never letgo of.”

Right now, Groff said heis striving for longevity in hiscareer. His goal is to be work-ing in theater, film and televi-sion. He wants to look forwork that will challenge himso he can continue to grow asan artist.

The cast members saidthey look up to him and hopeto follow in his footsteps.

“He’s just a wealth ofknowledge. It’s an incredibleopportunity to have someonehere who has created wherewe are now, essentially,” saidPeter LaPrade, who will playMoritz. “If we can do everyperformance like JonathanGroff is watching, we’ll be ingood shape. I really wantedto show him that we’re de-serving of the work we’redoing.”

Groff had only goodthings to say about the castand thinks they will surpriseeveryone with the show.

“I think it’s going toblow people away when theycome and see it,” Groff said.“It’s not like college kidsputting on ‘The Sound ofMusic’ or ‘Music Man,’which is great, obviously, butwhat’s really special aboutthis show is young peoplesinging about being youngpeople, and it’s rare that youget to experience that as anaudience member.”

The University of Kentucky’s School of Music is among the mostthriving programs at the university. The UK bands, UK choirs, UK Sym-phony Orchestra and the UK Opera Theatre constantly turn out world-classartists and receive the highest national recognition year after year.

However, in lieu of the latest flooding in the Fine Arts Building, thesehigh-achieving programs are still being overlooked by the UK communityat large.

While we constantly pour our money and efforts into new facilities, itseems we have forgotten about the many run-down buildings at the Uni-versity of Kentucky.

This is not a shot against the university administration. This is a mes-sage for the entire UK community.

The College of Fine Arts’ building has suffered two floods, falling tiles,asbestos, a faulty elevator and even no heat at times. The classrooms arenot big enough to accommodate the overwhelming number of young artiststhat have come from all over the country and other parts of the world tostudy to at the UK School of Music. The old wooden desks in the class-rooms have etching and graffiti that dates back several decades.

This is not the only poor infrastructure on campus. Many other peopleare in dire need of your support.

UK community and family: We are doing our part as students by beinga nationally recognized program. Fix the old buildings before you build thenew ones. We should have a building that is not a constant hazard to ourlives.
