Vigil honors, remembers studentBy EvELyN MErTHEW

staff writer

Members of the West Vir-ginia University chapter of the Delta Gamma sorority hosted a candlelight vigil Friday to honor the life of Sarah Graham.

Graham, 21, of Frederick, Md., passed away Feb. 13 in a vehicle crash along I-79.

Just before the Marianna exit in Amwell, Pa., the driver of the vehicle, WVU nursing student Emily Ben-ford, lost control and hit a guardrail before a tractor

trailer collided with the sta-tionary vehicle.

The vigil brought to-gether hundreds of mem-bers of the WVU commu-nity, including students and members of the Greek community.

Circled around the Delta Gamma anchor in front of the sorority house, family and friends honored Gra-ham by sharing memories and reading Bible verses.

Chris Hackett, a sopho-more and Theta Chi brother, was Sarah’s little brother in the fraternity.

“Sarah was the type of person who would always be there for you, no mat-ter what. She was one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met,” Hackett said. “She was always happy and smil-ing. Sarah lit up any room with her charm and glow-ing personality; she was a great friend and even bet-ter person.”

Members of the Greek community said hosting a vigil was an important way to honor Graham’s life and bring members of the WVU community together.

Beta Theta Pi brother Lo-gan Howser said he felt it was important to set aside differences within Greek life to come together for a com-mon cause.

“Regardless of the segre-gation between Greek life, what matters most at the end of the day is that we have to come together and support our community,” he said.

Hackett said the over-whelming amount of peo-ple who attended the vigil

Series offers accessible

adventuresBy SuMMEr rATcLIff

WELLWVU: The Stu-dents’ Center of Health is launching a new Outdoor Adventure Series for the Spring 2013 semester.

The Outdoor Adventure Series will aim to push stu-dents outside of their com-fort zones in an inclusive environment.

The series will include an initial rock wall-climb-ing event and will later branch out to outdoor ac-tivities and water sports.

The series will target students who may face ac-cessibility difficulties, but is open for any student.

Al Kasprowicz, direc-tor of the Carruth Cen-ter for Psychological and Psychiatric Services, said he believes some might not fully understand what the term “accessibility issues”means or which group the program will target.

“When we talk about ac-cessibility, essentially we are referring to those stu-dents who have a disabil-ity of some sort,” Kasprow-icz said. “Let’s say you are a paraplegic student or have a hearing disability or sight disability, or some other documented disabil-ity – broadly, the term that is used is students with ac-cessibility issues.”

Kasprowicz said of-ten, the students on cam-pus who face these acces-sibility issues don’t have as many opportunities for a support system to sur-round them; however, this program strives to change that.

“Because those students really are not a community, it’s more of simply individ-ual students who may not have a support system or a student org. they associ-ate with,” Kasprowicz said. “They don’t see themselves as a cohesive group. These students have all sorts of disabilities that may cause them to feel they couldn’t

meet up with a group and do outdoor activities such as rock wall climbing or white water rafting.”

While the events are aimed toward students with accessibility issues, he said all activities in-cluded in the adventure series are also opened to any able-bodied student.

“There may also be a number of able-bodied students who also have an interest in these same activities but will come with the understanding that some attendees at the event don’t have the same abilities to easily do the things that they can,” Kasprowicz said.

“We do not want to ex-clude these able-bodied students, but want to spe-cifically attract those stu-dents with accessibility concerns and also leave the events open to all students.”

Kasprowicz said he hopes the program will provide opportunities for this community of stu-dents that may have not been previously open.

“This series gives those students the opportunities they have always thought they’d love to participate in but were concerned that they wouldn’t be able to be accommodated.”

Volunteers with the ca-pability to assist those with all types of accessibility concerns will be available at the rock-climbing event.

“If we have a student with a hearing impair-ment, there will be some-one there to assist them,” Kasprowicz said. “If we have a student with a vi-sual impairment, there will be individuals there that are familiar working with those students.”

“There will be people there to help anyone that may need assistance.”

The Outdoor Adventure Series kick off rock-climb-ing event will be Feb. 23 at

Speed dating adds flair, romance to Up All Night experienceBy ASHLEy TENNANT

staff writer

Whether they were look-ing for their soul mate or to experience something new, students at West Vir-ginia University had the opportunity to do both last Friday night at the Mountainlair.

WVUp All Night hosted a speed-dating event at 9:30p.m. in the dining area of the Mountainlair, and it was open to all students.

Jackie Riggleman, an ad-vertising student at WVU and employee at WVUp All Night, explained the process of speed dating – Mountaineer style.

“Since it’s Valentine’s Day weekend, we decided to do speed dating for the students,” Riggleman said. “Each round, they get two minutes to talk to the per-son; after the two minutes are up, the announcer an-nounces the time, then they have 30 seconds to ex-

change numbers. Then, at the end of that 30 seconds, they have to switch seats.”

Riggleman said they planned to do three rounds – hopefully enough for par-ticipants to meet a special someone.

“A lot of people enjoy it; they like having the expe-rience. You know, we are in college, so new experi-ences are good, and stu-dents can be like, ‘Hey, I actually participated in speed dating,’” she said.

“It’s definitely a fun ex-perience, and I was very pleased by the amount of people who showed up for the first round.”

During the event, the fe-males stayed stationary in their seats, while the males moved around.

Moses Ajemigbitse, a petroleum and natural gas engineering student, came to the event to see what speed dating was all about.

“I think everyone is spe-cial, but I don’t think I’ll

connect with anyone; I am more interested in why people come to speed dat-ing. I have never done it before,” Ajemigbitse said.

Ajemigbitse used the ex-perience as an opportunity to ask strangers an impor-tant question, he said.

“I’m actually doing an experiment through speed-dating to talk to as many people as I can to see how they think, how they interpret life and actually to find out what they think

about a very interesting question – who is Jesus?” he said.

Glenn Hess, another speed-dating participant, said he was at the event because he wants to fall in love.

“I may meet my possible soul mate, but then again, I may have many soul mates. It’s hard to say,” he said. “This is just an excit-ing experience that I think

When Norma Mae Huggins passed away in 2003 after a battle with colon cancer, it was her wish to be cremated.

She had always said that she didn’t want a big viewing or to have a large group of people mourning over her, so when the time came, West Virginia men’s basketball head coach Bob Huggins decided to do something a little different to re-member his mother.

“I thought it’d be a waste to just have people send cards and flowers and this and that, because all you end up with is a house full of flowers that you’ll end up throwing away,” Huggins said. “That sounds kind of cold, but it’s true.”

And that’s when the Norma Mae Huggins Cancer Fund was born.

Huggins, who was still coach-ing at Cincinnati at the time, knew the charity would be a great way to honor his mother, a woman family friends described as “the backbone of their family.”

But he wanted to do some-thing different – something that would have a bigger impact and could serve as a fitting tribute. So he decided the fund would be run through the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center in Morgantown.

That’s the way his mother, a Mor-gantown native, would have wanted it. Everything stays in the state and helps the people it’s meant to help.

“The appealing thing is that ev-erybody, in some form or fashion, has been affected by cancer,” Hug-gins said. “It’s not a national char-ity where the money ends up at a national charity and then gets cut up however those people desire it

Pope blesses huge crowd in St. Peter’s Square

VaTICan CITy (aP) — His arms outstretched in a sym-bolic embrace, Pope Bene-dict XVI blessed tens of thou-sands of cheering people on Sunday in one of his last ap-pearances as pontiff from his window overlooking St. Pe-ter’s Square.

Last week, 85-year-old Benedict shocked the world by announcing his resigna-tion. He will step down on Feb. 28, planning to retreat to a life of prayer in a mon-astery behind the Vatican’s ancient walls.

The noontime appoint-ment in the vast cobblestone square also served as a kind of trial run for how Rome will handle the logistics, includ-ing crowd security, as the city braces for faithful to flock to Rome for the election and installation of the cardinal who will succeed Benedict as leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics.

Rome Mayor Gianni Ale-manno said upward of 100,000 people turned out Sunday and that everything went smoothly. But while there was still space in St. Pe-ter’s Square for more, many couldn’t get in – or easily out – because entrances from the main boulevard were just too narrow.

The huge crowd – includ-ing parents with babies in carriages and strollers, el-derly people using canes, and the disabled in wheel-chairs – tried to squeeze through two spaces police left open in the metal bar-ricades edging the square. Some people panicked or called out to police to help them get in or out of the square.

Pilgrims and tourists had an easier time if they en-tered through spaces in the elegant colonnade that ar-chitect Gianlorenzo Bernini

designed to cradle the sides of the St. Peter’s Square.

Benedict seemed touched by the outpouring of affec-tion after his decision to go down in history as the first pontiff in some 600 years to resign. The pontiff told car-dinals last week that he no longer has the mental and physical stamina to vigor-ously shepherd the church.

Looking into hazy sun-shine Sunday, he smiled shyly at the sight of the crowd below, filled with pil-grims waving their countries’ flags and holding up ban-ners with words of support. One group of Italians raised a banner which read: “We love you.”

Speaking in Italian, the pope told the cheering crowd: “Thanks for turnout in such numbers! This, too, is a sign of the affection and the spiritual closeness that you are giving me in these days.”

was also a reminder of how valued Graham was on WVU’s campus.

“The vigil was important because it was a chance for Greek life to show our love and support for Sar-ah’s family. It showed how much Sarah was loved and appreciated around WVU,” he said.

Many students in atten-dance said they felt Graham made a significant impact on other people’s lives, and the vigil reminded them just how precious life is.

Kayla Lipscomb, a friend

of Graham’s, said know-ing something as tragic as this could happen to any-one makes her cherish each person she has built a rela-tionship with.

“Sarah was one of the most outgoing, fun-to-be around, easy-going girls that I have ever met. It was important for me to attend because I wanted to show my respect and honor Sar-ah’s life,” Lipscomb said. “Sarah will never be for-gotten and forever will be missed. She’s in all of our hearts.”

Graham’s family will receive friends from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. today at Stauffer Funeral Homes,

P.A., 1621 Opossumtown Pike, Frederick, Md.

Funeral services will be-gin at 1 p.m. Tuesday at Calvary United Methodist Church, 131 West Second Street, Frederick, Md., with the Rev. Kenneth R. Dun-nington and Rev. Harry C. Cole officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memo-rial donations may be made to the church or to the Fred-erick County Humane Soci-ety, 217 W. Patrick St., Fred-erick, Md. 21701.

to get cut up.“One hundred percent of

the money goes right in to where it’s supposed to go – right in the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center.”

Thus far, Huggins has helped raise more than $750,000 for the fund, which is a big jump from the initial $20,000 raised when he went to longtime friend Denver Allen, who was working as director for development at the Cancer Center at the time.

“Bob’s done a very nice job of taking an active role in helping it grow, and so have his brother Larry and their sisters, too,” Al-len said. “He wanted to do this at WVU, because it’s where he went to school and where she’s from.”

It took some time to build up a large sum of money. At first, when he was at Cin-cinnati and Kansas State coaching, Huggins and his brother Larry would pri-marily be the ones donat-ing a lot of the money.

But once he became the head coach at his alma ma-ter in 2007, he was able to turn the fundraising ef-forts up to another level and help bring even more money into the center.

“I don’t think anybody

really knew about it other than the people that sent some money in to start with because I was in Cin-cinnati,” Huggins said. “Then when I got back here, because of our affil-iation with the University and being back in the state, (it became) so much easier to help spread the word.”

The charitable side of Huggins, which has spent so much time and effort helping with the cancer fund, as well as Remem-ber the Miners, is a side not many people get to see when the veteran head coach with more than 700 wins under his belt is on the sidelines. But there is one common theme that translates to both sides of Huggins.

“The one thing about Bob is that when he sets his mind to do something, he’s going to do it. Whatever he does, he has a great passion to do it,” Allen said. “He’s very passionate about things he believes in, and you can tell that this is ob-viously something he be-lieves in very much.

“He’s a very genuine person, a very loyal per-son, and what you see is what you get. And you see that whether it’s with this stuff or when he’s out there coaching.”

Huggins runs fundrais-ers such as the Bob Hug-

gins Fish Fry to help raise more money throughout the year for the charity and is currently taking part in the Infiniti Coaches’ Char-ity Challenge for the sec-ond year in a row.

Last season, Huggins came in second place be-hind Ohio State head coach Thad Matta and won $10,000 for the Norma Mae Huggins Cancer Fund, and if he can win it all this year, it will bring an additional $100,000 to the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center.

And throughout all the fundraisers and positive things he does for the char-ity, Huggins has earned a lot of praise and credit for what he’s done.

In 2012, he earned an Outstanding Philanthro-pist award by the WVU Foundation. But it’s not why he started raising the money.

“I’d rather people not even know I did it, but if I can use my name and noto-riety to help the cause, then I’d be foolish not to do it,” Huggins said. “All I’ve done is create awareness that we can help.

“They’re doing a great job at the cancer center, and to me, that’s even more rewarding that it’s going to a place that’s doing good things.”

everyone should try. I think my opportunity of pure love, unrestricted by normal boundaries, is about to happen.”

Shannen Athey, a recre-ation, parks and tourism resources student, said her experience with speed dat-ing was illuminating.

“I have to say, it was a lot of fun. I just did it to find friends. If I run into anyone on campus, I can be like, ‘Hey I saw you the other night and got to know you,’ and it was a great experi-ence,” she said.

But she didn’t walk away empty-handed.

“I did get a phone num-ber. His name’s Tyler, and he’s an accountant; I’m go-ing to text him and see if

he wants to unicycle some-time,” Athey said.

Take-away items from the event were teddy bears, roses and pictures couples could get taken together in a photo booth.

High school honor band displays local, upcoming talent

BY noEllE haRRiSa&e writer

The West Virginia Uni-versity School of Music held its annual High School Invi-tation Honor Band concert this weekend.

The event ended with a performance by the students.

Participants were placed into one of three bands based on their auditions, which were held Thursday.

After selecting the perfect groups, those three bands performed at the concert.

They played songs such as William Latham’s “Brighton Beach” and “The Light Eternal” by James Swearingen.

Although the bands only had two days to practice to-gether, it sounded as if they had been practicing for weeks, even months.

They performed their se-lections to near perfection, and some of the credit must go to the people helping with honor band.

WVU students helped lead the Honor Band stu-dents, and WVU music fac-ulty led master classes in their instruments for the students.

Guest conductors were also brought in to direct the

high school students. Those conductors were

Stephen Pratt, director of Bands at Indiana Univer-sity, Jonathan Waters, di-rector of the Ohio State Uni-versity Marching Band and Athletic Bands, and Michael Luley, director of Bands at Lake Braddock High School in Virginia.

The conductors worked with the students all week-end to prepare them for the concert.

More than 350 stu-dents participated, and the conductors ensured their success during the performance.

They performed mu-sic usually played by high school and college ensem-

bles, although some of the students were just fresh-men in high school.

Perhaps the most im-pressive song was “The Light Eternal.”

The arrangement is beautiful to begin with, but the ensemble performed it excellently. All of the music was performed with great skill, and this shows poten-tial for WVU, since some of these talented students will likely attend the University in the future.

Katie FLowers/the DaiLY athenaeUmRalph Stanley introduces the Clinch Mountain Boys Friday at the Metropolitan Theatre.

BY TERRi PaRlETTCOPY eDitOr

Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley and his Clinch Mountain Boys opened to a sold-out audience Friday night at the Metropolitan Theatre on High Street.

Stanley, who created his own style of banjo play-ing, has been performing since 1946 – first with his brother, Carter, as the Stan-ley Brothers, then in a pro-lific solo career after Cart-er’s death.

Stanley began his solo career after being pres-sured by fans after Carter’s death in 1966.

Friday night’s show opened with a rendition of “Man of Constant Sor-row,” and the audience went wild. The tune, made popular by the Soggy Bot-tom Boys in “O Brother Where Art Thou,” is always a crowd pleaser, and it per-fectly showcased Stanley’s expressive voice.

Stanley is 85 years old and will be turning 86 later this month. His age brings a level of soul to his voice that simply can’t be replicated.

He slowed the show for a somber moment, perform-

ing his Grammy-winning rendition of “O Death.” The song is beautiful no matter what, but Stanley’s mourn-ful tones made his a capella rendering even more strik-ing. Watching a man of his age, who can really feel the lyrics, sing the song was a very moving experience.

Even in his age, Stanley can wail out the high har-monies that make the song so great.

The band also played to the audience of Mountain-eers when they asked for requests and were met with shouts of many songs, but eventually played “Good Ol’ Mountain Dew.” The song is not only a bluegrass standard, but it is an inte-gral part of “The Pride of West Virginia,” the Moun-taineer Marching Band’s, traditional pregame show. In short, the audience loved it.

The show was a family af-fair, and it included Stan-ley’s son, Ralph II, and his grandson, Nathan. Ralph II was formerly the rhythm guitarist in the Clinch Mountain Boys and has since begun his own solo career. He performed one of his own songs, entitled

“Bluefield,” about south-ern West Virginia. The more modern country was in stark contrast to the classic bluegrass of the rest of the show, but was welcomed warmly by the receptive audience.

Nathan is the current rhythm guitarist, and he is also beginning in a solo career of his own. This in-cluded a song he wrote in tribute to his grandfather, which the band performed early in the show.

Stanley’s legendar y banjo-picking style, a varia-tion on Earl Scruggs’ three-finger style, is continued by Mitchell Van Dyke, whose impressive speed made his solos exciting every time.

All of the members of the Clinch Mountain boys are incredibly accomplished musicians, but the really great part of the show was the authenticity of the style. This was old-school blue-grass as it’s meant to be.

It looks like Stanley’s impact on bluegrass will outlive him in performers like the Clinch Mountain Boys, who perpetuate the classics.

It’s a widely reported statistic: According to the Center for Disease Con-trol, more than 32 percent of West Virginian adults are obese (meaning they have a Body Mass Index of 30 or greater), and more than 67 percent are overweight (BMI of 25 or greater).

Based on the most re-cent rankings, this is good for third worst in the nation, with Louisiana and Missis-sippi both narrowly sur-passing West Virginia in this distressing category.

Again, this is nothing

new. We’ve all listened to everyone from our profes-sors to our politicians going on and on about it. But what does it really mean? What is behind this problem, and what are its effects?

The causes of West Vir-ginia’s obesity problems are a complex combination of socioeconomic factors. But the effects are much clearer and can easily be quantified.

Obesity-related medical conditions are responsible for more than $150 billion of health care spending in

the United States each year. Considering the health care spending crisis our coun-try is currently mired in, these billions in prevent-able spending could go a long way toward helping ad-dress illnesses that are not preventable.

Estimates suggest up-ward of 300,000 Americans die prematurely due to obe-sity-related conditions ev-ery year.

On an individual level, being overweight sets off a devastating chain of nega-tive health effects that con-

tribute to billions in health care spending and can ulti-mately lead to an untimely death.

Excess fat tissue in the body causes the heart to strain to facilitate the de-livery of nutrients, which results in high blood pres-sure. Additionally, obesity is known to cause type 2 di-abetes, coronary heart dis-ease, heart attacks, joint problems, sleep apnea and respiratory problems. Obe-sity also increases the risk for many different types of cancer, including breast and

colon cancer. Although it is important

for our leaders to promote healthy lifestyles, it is ulti-mately our individual re-sponsibilities to maintain a healthy body. As students, our busy lifestyles and low budgets unfortunately con-tribute to bad eating hab-its that lead to weight gain. In the long run, these bad habits can have disastrous effects on ourselves and on our entire country.

There are plenty of healthy, affordable food options readily available for

students with the discipline to forgo fast food. Moreover, being students provides all of us with access to state-of-the art exercise facilities. If you make exercise a prior-ity in your life, you will find the time to do it.

Ultimately, making the switch to a healthy lifestyle is all about discipline. The sooner we all stop making excuses for our unhealthy habits and embrace a leaner, more active lifestyle, the better off we will all be.

During his State of the Union address, Presi-dent Obama continued his push of STEM (which stands for science, technol-ogy, engineering and math) education.

According to Obama, his administration wants to “re-ward schools” that “create classes that focus on sci-ence, technology, engineer-ing and math – the skills to-day’s employers are looking for to fill jobs right now and in the future.”

Obama believes STEM disciplines are important, which they most definitely are. However, Obama’s monomaniacal obses-sion with creating jobs for STEM disciplines and train-ing STEM students and teachers is not just a bro-ken record, but one play-ing a potentially harmful and out-of-touch tune. Sci-ence, technology, engineer-ing and math are, in some way, the “disciplines of the future” Obama and other policymakers declare them to be. The world is becom-ing more global as technol-ogy gets more complex, and as progressive technologies are created, more jobs will be created.

However, when Obama claims we are in reach of be-ing “a country that leads the world in educating its peo-ple” and “an America that attracts a new generation of high-tech manufacturing and high-paying jobs,” the President is ignoring disci-plines that help comprise his base, fuel democracy in this country and participate in the type of civic activism necessary for all the change he promised our country.

A degree or career in the fields of history, English, philosophy and other hu-manities isn’t a fast track to the upper or even mid-dle class that Obama claims should be every citizen’s op-portunity, but they are vital, breathing foundations of our country, and they are significant facets of Amer-ican education and dis-course that should be more respected, attended to and funded than they currently are.

President Obama is – rel-ative to someone like Mitt Romney who wanted to cut funding for both the NEA and PBS – a “humanities” president. He wrote poetry for Occidental College’s un-dergraduate literary journal, claims Marilynne Robin-son’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “Gilead” as a favorite book and has worked dili-gently to alleviate National Endowment for the Arts cuts, instead proposing a 5.5 percent increase in the 2013 budget.

At the 2011 National Medals of Arts and Human-ities Ceremony, Obama quoted both Emily Dickin-son and Walt Whitman and said “The arts and the hu-

manities do not just reflect America,” but “they shape America.”

Yet his recent rhetoric doesn’t back his projected belief in the arts.

President Obama in-voked the memory of “Sen-eca Falls, Selma and Stone-wall” in his inaugural address – but how is Amer-ica supposed to remem-ber these happenings and the changes that took place there without an emphasis on history?

He consistently speaks about progress, peace and equality – but how are Amer-icans supposed to access and enact these ideals with-out a vibrant awareness of literature and philosophy?

Science, technology, en-gineering and math are vi-tal disciplines in the United States of America. West Vir-ginia University is a thriving example of STEM educa-tions being fostered, lead-ing to incredible progress and new jobs for our nation.

But the STEM disciplines aren’t everything.

To be a nation that “ac-cepts certain obligations to one another and to future generations” and to be “the authors of the next great chapter in our American story” like Obama called for in his State of the Union, we need roots and leaves, too.

We need to know where we came from and have the ability to reflect on and an-

alyze our past so we don’t make the same errors again.

We need to know how we can make better choices building in the future, not just high-speed railroads or computer programs, but schools, relationships and ideas. These sorts of pos-tures and skills come from the humanities – an Amer-ican tradition that needs to be better and more health-fully curated in our schools and in political rhetoric.

I hope President Obama’s neglect of the humanities in his public speaking isn’t ev-idence of a more harrow-ing problem. In a recent New Yorker post, artist Teju Cole raises questions about Obama’s drone-killing pol-

icies and asks, “How on earth did this happen to the reader in chief? Why was the candidate Obama, in word and in deed, so radically dif-ferent from the president he became?”

The humanities have the ability to shape Ameri-can philosophy and action. President Obama needs to pick up the novels on his bookshelf, give them a re-read and reassess both his choices with drones and his relationship with dis-ciplines that have helped make America great.

Not every problem can be solved by a formula or cal-culation. America needs to cultivate STEM, but support and nurture other fields, too.

How do we work together? That seems to me to be the question for this new year. We’ve certainly spent more than enough time learning how to disagree.

Just ask the United States Congress how much they know about that. I’ve learned a lot from them about disagree-ment and not working with others. U.S. history teaches us this country was built on com-promise, a system of give-and-take and, above all, an under-lying mutual respect for the person sitting next to you. The idea was that if our represen-tatives worked together, the country would work better.

But you know what’s a great example of our coun-

try’s compromising values? The $1.3 billion that lawmak-ers cost the U.S. government while they were holding the debt ceiling hostage in 2011. The threat of a potential debt downgrade nearly blasted an-other hole in our already-pre-carious economic system. The $1.3 billion was the minimum loss estimate. But what’s ironic is they did it all over again on the fiscal cliff.

A message to Congress: The next time there’s another chance to have an incredi-bly vacuous argument about whether or not to move the country forward, please re-member how much money it costs to bicker.

But Congress certainly wasn’t the only one teaching class in recent years. My man Mitt Romney sure gave his fair share of classroom lectures. I learned from Romney that

changing your opinions to please people is a good way to try to get ahead in the world. I learned that if you work to-wards avoiding peoples’ con-cerns, rich folks will give you lots of money to keep do-ing it. But most importantly, I learned that caring 47 per-cent about anything gets you nowhere – sorry Mitt.

I mock what I watched this November, but it’s not with pleasure that I do so. I love this country and I find it dis-heartening that the 2012 pres-idential election reminded me more of a censored Jerry Springer episode than a con-test between great men of great intent and aspiration. President Obama lost the first debate not because Romney had any content to his argu-ment, but because Obama underestimated Romney’s capacity for obfuscation and

his determination to reposi-tion himself – yet again – to suit the mood of the general electorate.

It’s sad that we live in a time in which people are so unin-formed and uninterested in working towards a common good and that politics is now a form of entertainment – or blood sport – instead of the respected form of civil service that produced great men and women in our history. How can it be that we claim to be the descendants of the “Great-est Generation,” a group of people whose great strength lay in their understanding that, at times, individual sacri-fice and compromise are nec-essary in order for everyone to be better off?

Two months ago, a gunman in Connecticut mowed down 27 people: 20 small children, six teachers and his mother.

This happened three days af-ter a gunman shot up a mall in Oregon and in the same year as fatal mass shootings in Minneapolis, Tulsa, a Sikh temple, the midnight show-ing of a movie, a coffee bar in Seattle and a Halloween party on a college campus. Twenty-seven, two, six, three, six, 12, six, two. That’s a body count of 64. It’s time to ask again: How do we work together?

It’s time that our political system answer that question and learn to live within the times – not expect the times to live with them.

Our age is being reshaped by mass communication and mass communication is where change will begin. I loved that after every pres-idential debate, Facebook turned into a political forum for ideas and opinions on the candidates’ performances.

That shows me there is hope, that people are interested. All of you who put up statuses that told me to keep my poli-tics to myself can get lost. We need discussion.

That’s how we will begin to make a difference.

Next time you read about something you think ought to be recognized and changed, I want to hear about it. My friend at Northwestern Uni-versity wants to hear about it. The Herald wants to hear about it. Chances are, peo-ple you never would expect to care want to hear about it.

In the end, it’s simple. Whether or not we solve the issues of our time will be the ultimate reflection of whether or not we can learn to work together – you, me, our con-gressmen, our professors, the deans, our new president – we is all of us.

BORN TODAY This year you have a unique opportunity to expand your horizons. Your creativity soars, and Lady Luck seems to be riding on your shoulder. Still, don’t take anything for granted, and be sure to use good sense. If you are single, you could meet someone very special and sig-nificant to your life history. The pro-cess of getting to know each other will prove to be unusually reward-ing. If you are attached, the two of you start acting like new lovers. Ro-mance blooms, and a new addition to the family becomes a possibility.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH If you don’t accomplish what you want to do early on, you might find that it becomes more difficult as the day goes on. Others seem to interfere with your normal routine. View an obstacle that appears on your path as a sign to think carefully before con-tinuing. Tonight: Talk to a friend.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Emphasize the role that others play in your life in order to manifest a goal. The additional responsibility you have shouldered in the past few weeks seems to pay off. If you’re won-dering which way to go with a pres-ent situation, listen to feedback. To-night: Balance your budget.

G E M I N I ( M AY 21- J U N E 20) HHHHH You’ll head into work feel-ing sure of yourself. If you want some-thing done your way, you’ll have to take the lead. You might feel the need to start over, even if you don’t want to lose the work, as you continue to see problems arise with this project. Tonight: To the wee hours.

C ANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Stop, and try to take in what is going on behind the scenes. Your fatigue is apparent, and you know when you have had enough. You might want to ask someone to fill in for you. Be reasonable in how you handle an unruly child or loved one. Tonight: Head home early.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH Focus on long-term outcomes, es-pecially if you are experiencing a lot of back-and-forth in your daily life. Financial matters come to the fore-front. Make sure that you straighten out a hassle that has been affecting your domestic life. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH You could feel pressured and be-come tenser as a result of a certain situation. Key people in your life are optimistic; however, you might feel anxious when hearing the same news and information. Communica-tion could become muddled. Tonight: Choose a stressbuster.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Your playfulness might become tem-pered by the realization of how much you need to do. Detach and prioritize, and you’ll get more done than you thought possible. Recognize what is happening with an important rela-tionship, and try to be more nurtur-ing. Tonight: Make it easy.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 20) HHH Your communication style seems to be transforming. You might not like everything that is being revealed right now. Use your ingenuity to solve these issues and more. Do not rush through the process for an an-swer. Take news with a grain of salt.

Tonight: Easy works.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Approach a recurring sit-uation differently. You might choose to be less verbal. Find out what the root of the problem is, and then work with others to fix it. As a result, you will have less to worry about. Tonight: Your optimism makes a big difference in your dealings.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH Realize what is happen-ing within your immediate circle. Try to do something differently. What has not worked in the past suddenly will. Rethink a situation, brainstorm with others and approach it in a new way. Tonight: Live it up. Enjoy catching up on a friend’s news.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH You have been a bundle of energy as of late. Suddenly, the need to slow down hits you. How you deal with a situation could change radically be-cause of your needs. Make no defini-tive statement just yet. Your finances could factor into your thinking. To-night: Do a little shopping.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Your way of dealing with a problem could change radically. You’ll observe others and see different ways of han-dling pressure and communication issues. If you like someone else’s style, you might want to consider adapt-ing certain elements of it. Tonight: As you like it.

Kilicli scores 25, West Virginia holds on to beat Red Raidersby nick arthur

associate sports editor

After beating Texas Tech by 16 on the road two weeks earlier, many assumed West Vir-ginia would accomplish something similar at home Saturday afternoon – especially af-ter racing out to a 10-point lead late in the first half.

But it was a late defensive stop and a ca-reer-high 25 points from senior forward Deniz Kilicli that pushed the Mountaineers (13-12, 6-6) past the Red Raiders (9-14, 2-10) 66-64 in front of 10,530 at the WVU Coliseum.

Kilicli connected on 9 of 11 shot attempts and helped foul out two members of Texas Tech’s frontcourt on his way to one of his most impressive games of his career.

“It happens sometimes,” Kilicli said. “They didn’t guard me the way other teams guarded me … I just went out there and tried to do what I did in practice.”

The Mountaineers were able to hold off a late push by the Raiders despite 18 turnovers and 17 missed free throws.

“The truth of the matter is, if you go 24 for 41 from the foul line and turn it over 18 times and still win, it is pretty remarkable,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “Obviously, Deniz (Kilicli) played very well. I think if we could pass the ball better, I think he could have gotten 40 … I think he was open quite a few more times.”

Freshman guard Eron Harris scored 15 points – his ninth game in double digits in his last 10 outings – 10 of which came in the second half.

Harris didn’t get frustrated by the slow start, a character trait of the true freshman his head coach hasn’t overlooked.

“The good thing about Eron is he’s not one of those guys that pouts,” Huggins said. “He just keeps playing.”

The Mountaineers took a 32-25 lead into the locker room and had multiple opportu-nities to pull away in the second half – much like they did in the first matchup between the two schools in Lubbock, Texas.

WVu takes one in first series of season

Boeheim out of line with comments

to KatzIf you subscribe to the na-

tional coverage of college basketball, it’s unlikely you missed Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim maliciously de-riding ESPN’s feature college basketball writer Andy Katz during a postgame press conference five days ago.

If you did, let me quickly catch you up on the situation.

After Syracuse lost 66-58 at UConn in what was its third loss in five games, (Syracuse has only lost four games all season), Katz opened the postgame inter-view session with a remark-ably harmless question.

“Jim, what has the series with UConn meant to you and meant to Syracuse?” Katz said.

But the response from Boeheim was anything but harmless. In fact, it was ex-tremely inflammatory, com-bative, unprofessional and vindictive. More simply put, in my opinion, it was flat-out embarrassing for one of Syr-acuse University’s most rec-ognizable ambassadors, and thus, for the university as a whole.

“I’ll answer anyone’s ques-tion but yours,” Boeheim sneeringly replied. “Because you’re an idiot and really a disloyal person. A few other things I could add, but I’m not going to go there.”

Gee, Jim, I’m sure Katz re-ally appreciates you “not go-ing there.”

Jokes aside, lets get some-thing absolutely straight. Katz owes Boeheim abso-lutely nothing. Not his loy-alty, not his friendship by default and certainly not his respect, after the publicly verbal assault launched by the second-winningest ac-tive coach in Division I col-lege basketball, who was act-ing like anything but on that particular night.

Katz is an unbiased sports journalist with a job to do. He’s not an employee of Syr-acuse’s basketball and cer-tainly not someone who should be personally ac-countable to Boeheim.

Now, as you can imagine, almost everyone’s initial re-action was simply trying to deduce what on earth Katz

by cOnnOr murraysports correspondent

In its first regular-season action of the year, the West Virginia baseball team ex-perienced mixed results in its three-game series against North Florida.

The Mountaineers got off to a slow start in the first game of the series, falling 4-0. Preseason All-Atlan-tic Sun Conference pitcher Tyler Moore shut down the WVU offense, earning the win after working five scoreless innings without allowing a runner past sec-ond base.

Junior Corey Walter took the loss for the Mountain-eers after working 4.2 in-nings, surrendering one

earned run while scatter-ing eight Osprey hits.

Juniors Alex Bacon and Ryan Roberson led the way offensively for UNF. Rober-son led the team with three hits while Bacon drove in a pair of runs.

WVU threatened in the top of the ninth inning, loading the bases with one out, but UNF freshman Corbin Olmstead was able to induce a game-ending double play off the bat of pinch hitter Max Nogay to put away any thoughts of a Mountaineer comeback.

Game two of the series saw an offensive awaken-ing for the Mountaineers. The team produced six runs on the strength of 12 hits but fell just short due to a

walk-off single by senior Joe Wielbruda.

The walk-off was the cul-mination of a two-run in-ning for the Ospreys as they came in to the ninth trail-ing 6-5.

Sophomore Spencer Herrmann earned the vic-tory for the Ospreys on 2.2 innings of relief. Herrmann allowed just one unearned run on two hits while regis-tering three strikeouts.

Junior Pascal Paul took the loss for the Mountain-eers, surrendering two runs on two hits over one inning of relief work.

Although they came up short in the first two games of the season, the Moun-taineers were able to avoid a sweep in the series finale,

putting it all together for a 4-3 win that went down to the wire.

Jacob Rice kick-started the offense for WVU, com-ing up big with a two-out RBI single in the top of the third, giving the Mountain-eers a 1-0 lead.

The Ospreys responded with a run of their own in the bottom half of the third. Spencer Herrmann singled to center field, then promptly stole second base with two outs in the inning. Joe Wielbruda singled Her-rmann in to tie the game at 1, but was thrown out try-ing to advance to second to end the inning.

Track

By Kevin HooKerSportS writer

Thanks to several first-place finishes by the West Virginia track and field team, the Mountaineers had a strong showing at the Gold-Blue Open at the WVU Shell Building.

The Mountaineers will be traveling for the re-mainder of the season, as this was their last home, in-door meet of the year.

West Virginia took the top four spots in the 500-meter run with fresh-men Christa D’Egidio and Peyton Hampson taking the top two spots and fin-ishing with personal-best times of 1:17 and 1:18.34, respectively. Junior Arielle

Gaither came in third with a time of 1:18.46, while ju-nior Allison Tyree finished in fourth with a time of 1:22.47.

Senior Sydney Cum-mings led the way in the high jump with a first-place finish and a mark of 1.77 meters. Cummings’ dis-tance ranked third all time in WVU program history.

“Sydney is now realizing her true potential,” said WVU head coach Sean Cleary.

Freshman Ashanti Bess finished first in the 60-me-ter dash with a personal best time of 8.09 meters and the 200-meter dash with a time of 26.53 sec-onds. She also took sec-ond place in the 400-meter

dash with a time of 59.84 seconds.

Despite the calm atmo-sphere of the meet, Cleary and the Mountaineers are satisfied with their marks.

“While the meet was low key, we had a few good performances this week-end,” Cleary said. “We did offer the girls an opportu-nity to stay in a competi-tive frame of mind before next weekend.”

Senior Jordan Hamric recorded a first-place fin-ish in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 4:59.24 in her first time competing this season.

Freshman Shannen Daly also took first place in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:24.41.

Senior Alanna Pritts and sophomore Karissa Kna-benshue swept the weight throw, taking the top two spots, respectively. Kna-benshue also took the top spot in the shot put with a distance of 11.95 meters.

The Mountaineers will head to Ames, Iowa, Feb. 22-23 for their first-ever Big 12 Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Lied Recreational Center at Iowa State University.

Cleary and the Moun-taineers understand the difficulties facing them next weekend.

“Hopefully we work out a few more kinks as we move forward,” Cleary said.

Agent cancels all future races for Oscar Pistorius

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Oscar Pistorius’ track ca-reer was put on hold indef-initely Sunday as his agent canceled all future races so the double-amputee Olym-pian can focus on defend-ing himself against his mur-der charge.

After visiting Pistorius at the police station he is being held at, agent Peet van Zyl said in a statement there is “no option but to cancel all future races that Oscar Pistorius had been contracted to compete in to allow Oscar to concen-trate on the upcoming legal proceedings.”

Pistorius was arrested and charged with the Valen-tine’s Day murder of model girlfriend Reeva Steen-kamp, who was shot mul-tiple times at Pistorius’ up-scale Pretoria home in the early hours of Thursday.

Pistorius has been held since Friday at the Brooklyn police station in the South

African capital, where Van Zyl visited Sunday along with memebers of Pistorius’ family and his legal team.

“The nature of my visit to-day was two-fold,” Van Zyl said. “On a personal level I wanted to offer my support to Oscar, who I have known and worked with for the last seven years and consider a friend and a great profes-sional athlete.

“Secondly, I wanted to briefly discuss racing mat-ters, given that his key focus is defending himself against this serious charge.”

Van Zyl said Pistorius’ endorsements, including with big-name brands such as Nike and Oakley, were safe for now since spon-sors have committed them-selves to the South African, despite his murder charge. That could change, depend-ing on the outcome of Pisto-rius’ case.

“I can confirm that at this point in time all parties are

supportive and their con-tractual commitments are maintained,” Van Zyl said. “They have said they are happy to let the legal pro-cess take its course before making any change in their position.”

On the track, Pistorius had finalized agreements for five races for the first half of 2013: two in Aus-tralia in March to start the South African’s season, two exhibition runs against fel-low Paralympic champions Alan Oliveira and Jonnie Peacock, and an appear-ance at the U.S. Drake Re-lays in Iowa.

Van Zyl’s move to can-cel those races was first re-ported by The Associated Press on Saturday.

All future races were now called off, Van Zyl said, in-cluding others that were still being discussed. Van Zyl said the decision is “to help and support all those in-volved as they try to come to

terms with this very difficult and distressing situation.”

Pistorius’ famed track ca-reer, where he was the first amputee athlete to run at the world championships and at the Olympics, is now facing ruin ahead of a pos-sible lengthy murder trial.

Prosecutors also have said they will pursue a more serious charge of pre-meditated murder against Pistorius for the killing of Steenkamp, meaning a con-viction could result in a life sentence. His family denies he committed murder.

The 26-year-old Pistorius was expected to reappear in court on Tuesday for the start of his bail application hearing.

“On Oscar’s behalf, we, as his management company, would like to formally thank the thousands of people who have sent supportive messages which have come from all over the world,” Van Zyl said.

Former West Virginia of-fensive line coach Bill Be-denbaugh has been hired in the same capacity by Oklahoma.

“We are excited to wel-come Bill and his family to the University of Okla-homa,” said Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops in a release. “Bill is a passion-ate teacher and a demand-ing coach, who I believe will make an immediate impact on our football team.

“His track record of de-veloping physical and disciplined offensive

linemen makes him an ex-cellent fit for our program. Bill is also an accom-plished recruiter, who will join the rest of our staff in continuing to attract some of the nation’s most tal-ented student-athletes to Oklahoma.”

Bedenbaugh spent two years on Dana Holgorsen’s staff following a stint as the co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Arizona under former Wildcats head coach and current Oklahoma de-fensive coordinator Mike Stoops. The St. Charles, Ill., native also spent time with Holgorsen on Mike Leach’s staff at Texas Tech

and worked on the Red Raiders’ staff from 2000-06.

“Our family is thrilled about the opportunity to join coach Stoops and his staff at the University of Oklahoma,” Bedenbaugh said. “I have a great ad-miration for the champi-onship tradition of Okla-homa football and can’t wait to get on the field with our student-athletes this spring. I’ve admired the Sooners for many years and possess a great appre-ciation for the talent on this roster and coaching staff.”

At WVU, Bedenbaugh coached teams that set single-season school re-

cords for total offense and passing. Last season, the Mountaineers ranked fifth in the country in pass effi-ciency and were in the top 10 in scoring, total offense and passing offense.

Bedenbaugh was also named one of the na-tion’s top 50 recruiters by 247Sports.com this year.

He graduated from Iowa Wesleyan in 1995 after playing for Leach for four years and started coach-ing at Oklahoma Panhan-dle State, Valdosta State, Central Michigan and Fer-ris State before joining the staff at Texas Tech.

WVu erases deficit, knocks off no. 23 iowa State

piled on two more runs for the Mountaineers in the top of the fourth with a one-out single that scored Billy Fleming and Matt Frazer.

North Florida loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth inning, but WVU pitcher Dan Dierdorff was able to minimize the dam-age, only allowing one run

to score on a double play. The Mountaineers escaped the inning with their lead intact at 3-2.

Brady Wilson led off the top of the ninth with a triple for the Mountaineers and eventually came around to score on Alan Filauro’s sin-gle. The back-to-back hits gave WVU a 4-2 lead head-ing into the bottom of the ninth.

Freshman Donnie De-wees hit a one-out solo homer in the bottom of the ninth to bring the score to

4-3, but pitcher Pascal Paul was able to shut the door after that, giving the Moun-taineers their first win of the season.

Dan Dierdorff got the win, working 6.1 innings while giving up two earned runs on seven hits.

Next up for the Moun-taineers is a two-game set with Youngstown State, with the first game sched-uled for a noon start Feb. 22 in Winston-Salem, N.C.

But turnovers and mental lapses prevented West Vir-ginia from putting away its opponent.

“We take plays off. We get a little run going, and because we don’t play every play, they take advantage of you,” Hug-

gins said. “People at this level are too good not to play ev-ery play.”

Freshman guard Terry Henderson scored 8 points on 2 of 3 shooting. The fresh-men duo of Henderson and Harris is beginning to be-come explosive on the offen-sive end.

“I’d love to play them (at the same time). They just have to do a better job defen-

sively, and they have to pass the ball better,” Huggins said. “If you noticed, Deniz didn’t get the ball a lot when they were in the game together. Deniz has got to get the ball.”

Dusty Hannahs led the Red Raiders with 12 points on three 3-pointers, but Texas Tech shot just 41 per-cent from the field.

could have done to invoke such a vicious retort.

Many assumed right away it might have had something to do with the recent eligi-bility problems of Syracuse

forward James Southerland, who was forced to sit out six games. Perhaps Katz ob-tained some sensitive infor-mation “off the record” and published it.

But in fact, the actual dis-pute stems all the way back to an interview Katz at-tempted to conduct with Boeheim in November of 2011.

The attempted interview came just days after ESPN reported the heinous allega-tions that Bernie Fine, long-time friend and assistant coach to Boeheim, had mo-lested two former Syracuse basketball ball boys.

According to Boeheim, on that day, Katz did the abso-lutely unthinkable – he in-quired about the possibility

of the allegations.Horrific, I know. Trying

to procure more informa-tion on a sex-abuse scandal that involved children? How dare he?

I’ll be clear – I can com-pletely understand why Boeheim would want to de-fend Fine. The two men have been very close friends for a very long time, and an alle-gation of that magnitude is nothing to scoff at. The al-legation alone can cripple a person’s reputation, regard-less of whether it has any merit.

Take the infamous Duke lacrosse team incident, for example. Three Duke stu-dents were wrongly tried, convicted and executed in the court of public opinion for allegedly raping a strip-per who attended North Carolina Central University.

The students’ innocence was eventually proven, but not before irreparable dam-age had already been done to their reputations and to Duke’s.

That was about five years before the Fine allega-tions crept to the surface, so again, I can completely

understand why Boeheim would be so utterly defen-sive of his friend and col-league. He knew the stakes.

But even so, he didn’t de-fend Fine in the right way or anything close to it, for that matter.

Katz wasn’t trying to in-tentionally ruin anyone’s reputation; he’s too good a journalist, and someone in Boeheim’s position should be able to acknowledge that someone doesn’t rise to Katz’ position without dem-onstrating a strong sense of integrity for his craft. Still, Boeheim treated Katz like he was working for a tabloid.

In all honesty, all Boeheim had to do was answer the questions honestly and truthfully, or maybe simply voice his concerns in pri-vate, instead of attempting to publicly humiliate Katz in a postgame press confer-ence, and I’m sure this issue could have been behind him well before it became any more toxic.

But the Syracuse head coach was so put off by Katz’s attempts to get a le-gitimate answer on the sit-uation two Novembers ago

that he has literally ostra-cized Katz from directly cov-ering his team ever since, basically preventing him from doing his job in those circumstances.

Boeheim “clarified” his comments a couple days later, attempting to explain why he said the things he did at the UConn presser, still of-fering no apologies.

He needs to.Although Boeheim’s an-

nual salary of nearly $2 mil-lion is obviously principally based on winning basketball games, he is also getting paid to answer the media’s ques-tions, which are normally in-dicative of America’s queries as a whole.

It’s time for Boeheim to realize this, and to realize Katz was only trying to do his job – like any other le-gitimate professional would have done in that same sit-uation – and ultimately, the longer this feud carries on, the worse it will not only re-flect on himself, but also the University he’s being paid millions of dollars to posi-tively represent.

With five games remain-ing in the season, the West Virginia women’s basket-ball team looked to helps its NCAA Tournament cause Sunday afternoon against No. 23 Iowa State.

After a cold shooting night against Oklahoma State Wednesday night, the Mountaineers wanted redemption against a Cy-clones team that narrowly won in Morgantown a few weeks ago.

ISU had the hot start to get the game underway, jumping to a quick 10-0 lead in the first four min-utes of the game. It shot 4 of 6 from the field and 2 of 3 from beyond the arc on the 10-0 run.

West Virginia couldn’t get it going in the early stages of the game, go-ing 0 for 6 from the field. It wouldn’t let up, however.

Despite trailing by dou-ble digits, the Mountain-eers fought all the way back and took the lead in the late stages of the game. When Iowa State was up 66-65 with seconds remaining, a turnover sparked an Averee Fields layup to give WVU a

67-66 lead with 12 seconds remaining.

An offensive foul call on the Cyclones’ sophomore guard Nikki Moody sent ju-nior guard Brooke Hamp-ton to the line for two criti-cal shots with three seconds remaining. She nailed one of two to give West Virginia a 68-66 cushion. WVU held off any late-game magic to earn the much-needed road victory in front of 11,951 people.

“I thought we did a good job. We had to make it ugly, because we weren’t scor-ing, so we had to have more quickness and try to get some traps and turnovers,” said head coach Mike Carey. “They (Iowa State) do a great job. They’re a great team and very phys-ical. They had some foul trouble, and we were in foul trouble, but we were able to pull it off at the end. It’s a big win for us coming off a loss at home against Okla-homa State.”

With the victory, West Virginia improved to 15-10 (7-7 Big 12), while Iowa State fell to 18-6 overall and a 9-5 conference record.

The Mountaineers got 41 bench points to add to their attack Sunday after-

noon. Freshman guard Bria Holmes sparked WVU with 18 points on 6-of-10 shoot-ing. She also shot better than 50 percent from long range. Despite fouling out, senior center Ayana Dun-ning had 13 points and four rebounds for West Virginia.

“I thought Bria Holmes came off the bench and hit some good shots for us for a freshman in this kind of atmosphere,” Carey said. “I want to say great crowd and great atmosphere. They do it right here. I think they de-serve a lot of credit.”

Even with the linger-ing troubles from the char-ity stripe (10 of 20, 50 per-cent), West Virginia shot 52 percent from the field. Both teams had 19 turnovers, but it was ISU’s trouble shoot-ing that gave it fits, building on its early lead.

The Cyclones shot 21.7 percent from deep on 5-of-23 shooting. While they did have nine more free throw attempts than the Moun-taineers, West Virginia was able to shoot the ball signif-icantly better on this day. Iowa State shot 41.3 percent from the field.

For Iowa State, junior forward Hallie Christoffer-son would once again be

unstoppable. Her 27 points on 9-of-12 shooting and six rebounds paved the way for ISU. Christofferson also made her 1,000th point Sunday. Moody added 14 points and four assists, de-spite turning over the ball eight times. Senior forward

Chelsea Poppens would add 10 points, seven re-bounds, two steals and two blocks for the Cyclones.

Despite trailing at the half by five, West Virginia outscored Iowa State 46-39 in the second half. WVU also had 35 more bench

points on the afternoon (41-6).

The Mountaineers will now travel to Fort Worth for a showdown next Saturday against TCU. Tipoff will be at 8 p.m.

No. 20 Wisconsin cruises past No. 13 Ohio State, 71-49MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wis-

consin can be awfully good when it is making shots. Ohio State found that out Sunday.

The 20th-ranked Badgers shot 53 percent from the field, their best performance of the season, to rout No. 13 Ohio State 71-49.

“The guys got good looks, and they went down,” Wis-consin coach Bo Ryan said. “They didn’t change any-thing. I’d like to say we did, that we found something.”

It was a dramatic turn-around offensively for Wis-consin (18-8, 9-4 Big Ten) after Thursday, when the Badgers went scoreless over the final 5 minutes in regula-tion and then managed just four points in overtime while

losing at Minnesota.The 39 first-half points tied

their best opening period in Big Ten play this season and were only 10 fewer than the Badgers scored for the entire game at Ohio State in a Jan. 29 loss.

Ohio State coach Thad Matta said it was just one of those games when the Bad-gers could do no wrong, per-haps best summed up in the second half when Wiscon-sin guard Traevon Jackson banked in an off-balance shot as the clock shot expired.

Even so, Matta said he was at a loss to explain how poorly Ohio State (18-7, 8-5) played on defense.

“We’ve seen the results if we’re not going to play defen-

sively. We’re not a good bas-ketball team,” Matta said. “If we’re going to rely on trying to outscore people, that’s not going to happen.”

The win kept Wisconsin tied with Michigan for third in the conference, two games behind leaders Indiana and Michigan State. Ohio State dropped into fifth place.

Wisconsin put Ohio State in a hole early and never let the Buckeyes climb out of it.

The Badgers took control with an 18-0 run in the first half that lasted more than 7 minutes and put them up 24-6. At one point in the run, Matta called timeout and said he lost it with his play-ers, asking in bewilderment what was going on.

“The way we opened the game defensively, guys catch and shoot, we weren’t even challenging shots,” Matta said.

Things weren’t much bet-ter on the offensive end. De-Shaun Thomas led Ohio State with 18 points, though he needed 17 shots to do it and only got to the foul line once. Sam Thompson added 10 points but Aaron Craft was held to four on 2-of-9 shoot-ing, and the team shot less than 38 percent from the field. That included 3 of 12 from 3-point range.

Ohio State had only six as-sists and trailed by 17 points at halftime. That was its larg-est deficit at the break since March 22, 2007, when the

Buckeyes trailed Tennessee by the same margin but went on to win 85-84.

“This is on us,” Craft said. “Coaches can’t get us ready to play. The responsibility is on us as individual players. We’ve got to go and bring teammates with us. We can’t play like this in February. This is beginning-of-the-year mis-takes and mental errors.”

Wisconsin, by compar-ison, was a model of effi-ciency on offense. The Bad-gers had 16 assists on 29 field goals and were 7 of 19 from 3-point range.

Ben Brust and Jared Berg-gren each scored 15 points to lead the Badgers, while Brust also had 11 rebounds. Sam Dekker came off the bench to

score 13 for Wisconsin, and Jackson added 10.

Berggren said the Bad-gers didn’t do anything dif-ferently against the Buckeyes. He chalked up the offen-sive effort to a landslide ef-fect — when a couple of guys started making shots early, it just spread across the team. It also helped that the Bad-gers took advantage of Ohio State playing them tight on defense, making hard cuts to the rim and then kicking the ball out to open 3-point shooters.

“I think a big part is just knocking down shots,” Berg-gren said. “I think we got a lot of the same looks, but every-thing seems better when the ball goes in.”
