UK Hoops gives completeeffort in 100-34 triumph

Head coach MatthewMitchell’s squad has put a beat-

ing on a fewteams this sea-son, but Sun-day’s 100-34shellacking ofthe Universityof South Car-olina UpstateSpartans is theclosest UKHoops hasbeen to puttingtogether acomplete ef-fort.

“I felt like we gave a more

energetic performance today. Ifelt like it was a lot closer towhere we’re trying to get,”Mitchell said.

At their best, the Cats arecapable of wielding an impres-sive arsenal, a mix of size andspeed.

On offense, UK can spreada defense with shooting. Shouldthose shooters miss, UK has aslew of post players waiting togather rebounds, such as the 19offensive boards the Cats con-verted into 27 second-chancepoints against the Spartans.

But missing is somethingthe Cats didn’t do very often

against USC Upstate, shooting50 percent from the floor and40 percent from 3-point range.

“I thought it was the mostconsistent energy we’ve had,with people being sharp,”Mitchell said of the team’s of-fensive outing. “I was reallyhappy we could shoot 50 per-cent today. I want to try to seeif we can keep doing that, andstaying around that number isgoing to be important for thisteam’s development.”

The offense also benefitsfrom a defense focused on ap-plying merciless pressure,

NEW YORK — Just as people asked, in hertime, “What was it like working with Eliza-beth Taylor?,” people today wonder, “What’sit like working with Lindsay Lohan?” on “Liz& Dick,” the Lifetime TV-movie in whichlightning-rod Lohan portrays the equally tem-pestuous screen goddess.

It’s not an unreasonable question, given Lo-han’s history of substance abuse, rehab, jailtime, probation, and, on “Liz & Dick,” a healthscare on June 15 that prompted a 911 call whenshe reportedly could not be awakened.

“I was there in the room and asked the (pro-duction’s on-set) medic to call the paramedics,”confirms executive producer Larry A. Thomp-son, speaking by phone from California. Whydid you need to call? “She needed attention.”What kind of attention? “She needed medicalattention,” he says, before a Lifetime publicistcuts short this line of questioning. Lohan, re-portedly suffering from exhaustion, needed nohospitalization that day, but was briefly treatedand released another time after her June 8 caraccident en route to the set.

“We weren’t naive,” says Thompson, 68, aproducer with numerous TV-movie credits aswell as such films as Ken Russell’s “Crimes ofPassion” (1984). “We knew it wasn’t withoutrisk (to cast her). But if we could survive therisk, the reward would be worth it.”

Grant Bowler, 44, who plays Burton, isdiplomatic when asked whether there weredifficulties doing a production with Lohan.“Yeah, there were,” he says — quickly adding,“I imagine it was a lot like those two backthen.” Some productions, he notes “have real-ly easygoing personalities where everythinggels and meshes and everyone has a dreamytime and that’s wonderful. But sometimes, youget what I like to call a redheaded-stepchildproject, where everything seems to be chal-lenging. And ‘Liz & Dick’ was such a monu-mental undertaking — in 21 days we managedto get decades of this relationship — that itwas always going to be one of those difficultchildren. To lay it just on one person is silly.”

In a market drowning in 3-Dticket prices that are a reachmore often than not, “Life ofPi” breathes new life into thewidely criticized technologywith a stunning aura of light andcolor.

For once, those 3-D hipstergoggles that come with an $11ticket actually do their part.

Not since “Avatar” has afilm’s stage been so immenseand hypnotic.

Lead actor Suraj Sharma hasa breakout rookie performancethat is sure to earn him all kindsof nominations.

His conviction and curiosityare as believable as they are re-latable.

This film will break yourheart and piece it back togetheragain and again before the finalact.

“Life of Pi’s” greateststrength is how it blurs the divi-sive lines of organized religionand dwells on an idea that spiri-tuality shouldn’t be a concretechecklist of guilt, but more aninternal journey of discovery.

If you need a spiritual pick-me-up that will fill you up butwon’t weigh you down, thisfilm will certainly deliver.

which the Cats displayedfor nearly all 40 minutes.

UK forced 38turnovers and convertedthose into 52 points,about half its total pointsand 18 more than theSpartans’ final total.

If a team is luckyenough to break throughthat first wave of perime-ter pressure, the only re-maining obstacles arethose long, athletic postplayers, waiting to send ashot back at the shooter’sface, as they did seventimes against the Spar-tans.

The most harrowing

fact facing opposingteams is UK’s inability tocall off the dogs, becausethe dogs go 10-plus deep.All 13 UK players scoredagainst USC Upstate, andthe pedal was to the flooruntil the final buzzersounded.

All of this is very im-pressive, but it comesagainst a vastly inferioropponent. The true testsstart soon, with matchupsat Louisville and againstDePaul and Middle Ten-nessee State slated for thenext two weeks. All theseteams have what it takesto run with UK for an en-tire game.

That’s when Mitchellwill really need a com-plete effort from histeam.

FORKNERContinued from page 1

UK Hoops advanced to4-1 on the season with a re-sounding 100-34 victoryover University of SouthCarolina Upstate (2-5) onSunday at Memorial Colise-um.

Combining lockdowndefense and explosive of-fense, the Cats played theirmost statistically completegame of the season thus far.

“I thought it was themost consistent energywe’ve had,” said UK headcoach Matthew Mitchell.

Stats leaders for the Catswere senior guard A’diaMathies and junior forwardsDeNesha Stallworth andSamarie Walker. Mathies ledall scorers with 17 points in23 minutes on the court,while Stallworth and Walkerboth scored in double digits,combining for 24 points, sixrebounds, five blocks andfive steals.

Joining Mathies, Stall-worth and Walker in double-digit scoring was freshmanguard Janee Thompson, whoposted 10 points, three re-bounds, two steals and oneassist in 11 minutes of play-ing time.

Offensively, UK’s 52first-half points were themost scored by the Cats inany single half this season,en route to reaching the cen-tury mark for the first timethis season.

Every player on UK’sroster scored as Mitchell’ssquad shot 37-74 from thefield on the game, going 12-30 from 3-point range. TheCats also won the offensiverebound battle 19-7.

Though pleased with histeam’s shooting, Mitchellnoted some possible im-provements to be made.

“I was really happy thatwe could shoot 50 percent

today, and I want to try tosee if we can keep doingthat. Staying around thatnumber is going to be im-portant for this team’s devel-opment. We still missed afew too many shots aroundthe basket that I hope we’regoing to start making, andwe need to do a good job ascoaches at helping them dothat,” he said.

The Cats were dominanton defense as well, with Up-state’s 34 points being thefewest the Cats have al-lowed from an opponent allseason. UK held Upstate to11-42 shooting for the game,with the home squad also

forcing 38 turnovers. All butone Cat had a steal as part ofa 21-steal team effort.

Mitchell revealed the de-fensive performance may beattributed to a change in tac-tics.

“We’re trying to playsome 2-3 zone (defense) andtrying to see how our play-ers can develop in thatscheme while still making itaggressive but giving you adifferent look than our pres-sure man-to-man,” he said.

UK’s next game is amorning contest against Mi-ami (Ohio) at MemorialColiseum on Wednesday.Tip-off is slated for 11 a.m.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Ahalf-full (orhalf-empty)Neyland Sta-diumwatched thehapless Vol-unteers de-feat theeven-morehapless Cats37-17 in abattle inwhich oneof them hadto ultimately

earn its first(and only) SEC win of theyear.

Joker Phillips’ UK headcoaching tenure ended with a13-24 record with the loss.

How fitting that it all end-ed at Neyland Stadium, inKnoxville, and against thedreaded Tennessee Volunteers.

Battles in this stadium andagainst this team epitomizePhillips’ career as a Cat.

Phillips was a wide re-ceiver for the Cats in 1984— the last time UK hadwon in Knoxville, and thelast time the Cats had de-feated the Vols anywhereuntil last season.

Last season was whenPhillips pulled out a win inone of the most unlikelyways ever, with wide receiv-er Matt Roark playing quar-terback in a surprise victoryover the Vols in Lexington.

But the battle against theteam clad in orange hasbrought some tough mo-ments for Phillips as well.

Phillips has been either

head coach or offensive coor-dinator during a stretch ofgames against Tennessee inwhich the Cats have hadequal or greater talent. TheCats have had leads and beencompetitive but typically havefallen frustratingly short.

Fans lament conservativeplay-calling in the 2007 fourovertime loss to the Vols atCommonwealth Stadium, andthey rail over not getting su-perstar all-everything quarter-back/receiver Randall Cobbthe ball in the final posses-sion of the 2009 30-24 over-time loss to the Vols.

And then there was the2010 debacle in Knoxville.

Despite grabbing earlycontrol of the game, the Catsfound themselves a touch-down behind as the fourthquarter began.

A potential game-tyingdrive stalled, as UK facedfourth down with 2 yards togo at the Tennessee 37-yardline.

Instead of attempting toconvert, Phillips chose topunt the ball. UK punterRyan Tydlacka booted it inthe end zone for a touchback,which netted the Cats a mere17 yards on the punt, and theCats never moved in to Vol-unteer territory the rest of thegame — ultimately droppingthe contest 24-14.

Many believe that singu-lar decision to be the tippingpoint in fan sentiment againstPhillips, ending his coachingtenure honeymoon less thanone full year after his reignbegan.

Saturday’s game also typ-ified Phillips’ tenure — somuch promise and opportuni-ty, but so little actual fulfill-ment.

Despite Tennessee usingits no-huddle offense to scoretouchdowns in its first twopossessions, the Cats some-how finished the first halfwith more first downs andtotal yards while still trailingon the scoreboard.

UK had three consecutivechances to erase a six-pointdeficit. Those three drives forthe Cats went 10, 10 and 15plays each for a cumulative162 yards gained. Thosedrives earned the Cats threepoints.

“The thing we couldn’tdo was get the ball in the endzone,” Phillips said. “We hadtwo missed opportunities inthe red zone where we justcame away with three points,and two fourth-down conver-sions that we couldn’t con-vert.

“When you don’t convertthat is like turning the ballover two times.”

Six minutes of game ac-tion later, the Vols had ex-tended the lead to 34-17 toessentially lock up the victo-ry.

Neyland Stadium isn’t in-timidating or overly impres-sive under these circum-stances. Cold weather, stu-dent Thanksgiving break andfan apathy led to an an-nounced crowd of 81,841 inthe stadium that has a capaci-ty of more than 100,000.

All accounts have the ac-

tual crowd at least 20,000south of the announced atten-dance, but who can blamethe fans for not caring aboutthe relatively meaninglesscontest between programsthat are already in the huntfor new leaders.

Tennessee has a tremen-dous football tradition andthe Cats have maintained aspot in the top attendancerankings for several years oflate, but both fanbases areready to just turn the page,thus earning the on-the-fieldannual battle between theborder-state rivals a collec-tive yawn.

Phillips, who was notifiedof his release three weeks ago,finished the season with class

while acknowledging his lackof results.

“I learned a lot duringthese last three weeks,”Phillips said. “It’s time to go.I understand that.”

Meanwhile, the teamsthat competed Saturday con-tinue searching for the rightfit to lead their respectiveprograms. And that is wherethe excitement is, as fansspeculate on messageboards, during holiday get-togethers and on radio call-in shows.

UK athletic directorMitch Barnhart addressed themedia about the search afterthe game, with very little inthe form of an update. Theprocess is ongoing, no offers

have been made and he mayhave others helping him withthe decision-making process(or he may not, as he saidthat information would comeout after the decision ismade).

After the game, Phillipsreflected on the past 10 yearshe has been with the program— years that have seen a winover a top-ranked opponent,five straight bowl appear-ances and the Cats hostingESPN Gameday.

While admitting he wasgiven a fair chance, Phillipssaid the next head coachmust be given time to getthings going again.

“Given a chance, thisthing can be good,” he said.

Rocky season for rivals ends with UT winIn Phillips’ final game, Cats fall 37-17 in Knoxville

UK basketball headcoach John Calipari stomped,

yelled andscolded theCats overtheir defen-sive effort— both inthe half-court and intransition.

Con-versely, theCats showedincredibleefficiencyon the of-

fensive end of the ball.Friday night in a 104-75

win at Rupp Arena overLong Island UniversityBrooklyn, UK dished out 28assists on 42 made fieldgoals.

Those 28 assists weremore in a game than any sin-gle performance of the lastyear’s national championshipsquad (high was 24 againstMarist on Nov. 11, 2011).

The Cats had five playersscore double figures and hadfour players dish out morethan four assists — all with-out the presumed starting

point guard in the building. Transfer sophomore point

guard Ryan Harrow has beenthe ultimate mystery this sea-son. He has battled an illnesscausing him to drop sevenpounds and missed plenty ofpractice and game time, play-ing just 10 ineffective min-utes in the season openeragainst Maryland.

As reports of his physicalimprovement circulated, Har-row abruptly went home todeal with what was describedas a family issue.

In the meantime, formerwalk-on guard Jarrod Polsonhas emerged as a legitimateoption and freshman ArchieGoodwin has flat-out thrivedin the point-guard role.

“His (Goodwin’s) num-bers were great. He’s a toughguard,” said LIU-Brooklynhead coach Jack Perri. “ Hegets all the way to the rimboth to his left and his right.He gets fouled a ton. He’s atalented kid and a big-timeplayer.”

Friday night, Goodwincame precariously close to atriple-double, netting 22points while adding nine re-

bounds and nine assists.“He’s capable of this, but

he’s learning,” Calipari said.“He’s a good athlete. He’slong. The one thing the drib-ble-drive gets you to do isplay through bumps, and he’splaying through bumps aswell as anybody.”

Goodwin thinks he hastransitioned to the role wellso far.

“I think I am comingalong well with it. I’m stilllistening to Coach and he isstill going to be on me every-day and this is going to helpme a lot,” Goodwin said. “Ihave been to the gym a lotoutside of practice and that isgoing to help me transition tothe point guard easier.”

The team shares the ballwell, and players find eachother for open looks both inthe paint and from long dis-tance. They shot 42-of-62from the field Friday for 67.7percent and shot 7-of-13 be-hind the arc for 53.8 percent.

“We had 28 assists at 10turnovers today. That’shuge,” Calipari said. “That’s

Hunter Stamps, an assistant professor of ce-ramics, oversaw the kiln firing and thought itwent well overall.

“The firing went really well, it’s only the sec-ond time we have fired it up, the first time beingin the summer,” Stamps said.

The process of firing the kiln starts with stu-dents loading wood into the kiln. The fire startsout small but increases with wood added. Stu-dents then continue to add wood every five toseven minutes.

The peak temperature of the firing was 2,375degrees Fahrenheit.

“Loading the kiln itself was a lot of hardwork, a very long process,” said UK senior LeahCombs. “It took 12 hours to load.”

The kiln firing involved 25 volunteers, mostof who were students, who worked six-hourshifts for three days.

Some students, such as Liz Rubando, a sen-ior at UK, took on two shifts.

“I had two shifts, during those shifts therewas occasional down time, but for the most partwe consistently put wood in the kiln,” she said.

The ceramics program plans to fire the kilnagain in March. One major change next semesterwill be reduction cooling.

“We plan to use reduction firing to cool thewood down after we heat the wood up, it shouldgive it a different look,” Stamps said.

Though the firing ended on Nov. 18, oneweek is needed for the kiln to cool down so itcan be unloaded. The kiln will be unloaded onNov. 27 around 1 p.m. Anyone can attend the un-loading at UK’s Coldstream Farm.

“Anyone can come see us unload the kiln; itwill be a great chance for people to see art,”Stamps said.

To the members of our university family,This afternoon, I complete my term as In-

terfraternity Council president, as the Councilofficially installs president-elect Michael Gant

for 2013. Consider thisparting letter my final re-port on the cumulativestrides the council took andthe progress it made in sucha transformative year.

In January 2012, duringthe first weeks of ourterms, the Executive Com-mittee sponsored a plenaryretreat for incoming offi-cers to draft the year’sagenda and budget. The re-treat grew our relationshipsand established each offi-

cer’s goals by which to meas-ure his efforts. I am proud to announce thecouncil’s plan to sponsor a second retreat foroutgoing and incoming officers and chapterpresidents-elect to develop camaraderie andtransition officers in preparation for theirterms.

Spring and fall 2013 formal recruitment

periods attracted over 1,200 potential newmembers. Summer advising sessions and un-precedented promotion generated overwhelm-ing interest and community growth. Formalrecruitment introduced enhanced registrationand notification software, a mobile applica-tion and a recruitment fee that grew revenueby thousands for future programming. Mostimportantly, council efforts legitimized itsprocess for community expansion. Addition-ally, the council added three full-status andone petitioning-status chapter, growing mem-bership to 21 member chapters.

In a year of university infrastructural de-velopment, IFC visited regional campuseswith university administrators to evaluateGreek residential villages and develop a blue-print for a similar village at the University ofKentucky. It hosted forums with chapter lead-ers, housing corporations and alumni associa-tions to share initiatives, identify obstaclesand promote chapter participation for residen-tial expansion.

For the first time in several years, the Ex-ecutive Committee reviewed the council’sconstitution and bylaws, amending recruit-ment eligibility, officer eligibility and duties,

and strengthening community service ac-countability. Judicially, I am proud to reportcontinued legitimization of the council’s Judi-cial Board. In 2012, though it addressed in-fractions within the community, the JudicialBoard did not permanently suspend a singlechapter’s operations. More importantly, it en-gaged community members and university of-ficials to negotiate addenda to game-day tail-gating policies and open discussions aboutthe role of alcohol on campus.

Academically, the council shared itsscholarship policies with other councils as themost stringent yet proactive scholarship ef-forts in the southeastern region, possibly thecountry. Chapters retained each semester’s3.0 cumulative chapter GPA mandate and de-veloped a proactive partnership with TheStudy to benefit individual members.

By semester’s end, the InterfraternityCouncil will have raised over $27,000 for re-gional charities — $22,500 for its coopera-tively sponsored Habitat For Humanity hous-ing build and $5,000 for DanceBlue’s 2013Golden Matrix Fund. For a second year, thePanhellenic and Interfraternity Councils andcampus Habitat chapter provide the first

home for a family in need. Additionally, thecouncil Executive Committee’s charity bas-ketball game and “All You Can Eat” event at-tracted sponsorships, celebrity participationand hundreds of attendees. Overall supportfor these young initiatives generated thou-sands of dollars in charitable donations tobenefit the Commonwealth of Kentucky andLexington communities.

I am proud of the 2012 Executive Com-mittee’s leadership. I believe cumulative ef-forts by council members improved gover-nance and thrust the fraternity communityforward. I hope the incoming committee re-tains some of the precedential initiatives es-tablished by our council. I am most proud,though, of the relationships formed and skillsdeveloped as Interfraternity Council presi-dent. To those with whom I interacted andoversaw, I humbly thank you for your contin-ued patience and support. The experience un-doubtedly grew my perspective, and I couldnot be more appreciative of the opportunity tolead.

Fraternally,Nolan M. Jackson

a big number.”With the team clicking so

well, and with Harrow out ofthe loop for so much practiceand playing time, it is clear itwill take some time for himto make an impact.

“We want Ryan back. Ithink he’ll be in practice onSunday and Monday andwe’ll get started,” Caliparisaid Friday night. “At the endof the day, I would hope if it

were your son, you wouldwant me to deal with this theway I’m dealing with it.”

Calipari reported on Twit-ter that Harrow did return topractice Sunday.

“Ryan went the wholeway & looked good,” Cali-pari said in a tweet about theteam’s first Sunday practice.“Best part was seeing thesmile on his face.”

Harrow updated the fansabout his status in a state-ment from UK Athletics.

“I’m feeling much betterand it felt really good to get

back on the practice courtwith the guys today,” Harrowsaid. He said he had a familyissue to attend to. “Every-thing is good with that nowand I’m excited about play-ing with my brothers again.”

How Harrow will be uti-lized is the big question marknow.

The Cats just ran througha three-game homestandagainst opponents they weredesigned to beat handily, andwith the exception of the tus-sle against Morehead State,that is precisely what theydid.

Next up for UK are apair of high-profile nationaltelevision battles that will re-ally tell the Cats a lot aboutthemselves. They travel toNotre Dame, which has won38 of its last 39 contests athome, Thursday before host-ing a very young, athleticand talented Baylor teamSaturday.

Neither one of those con-tests are well-suited to trysomething new, like re-imple-menting Harrow to the point(or the lineup at all).

“If someone is better,he’s (Harrow’s) not playing,”Calipari said. “If he’s better,he’ll play in time. We needhim back — need anotherguy — no question. Likeeverything else, you have in-juries and things that go on.”

Even though he has re-turned to the team, the mys-tery will likely remain untilat least after the Baylorgame, when the Cats face aseries of four lesser oppo-nents leading up to the Battleof the Bluegrass againstLouisville on Dec. 29.

In the meantime, the Catswill have to settle for thesharing, balanced-scoring,highly efficient offense ledby Polson and Goodwin.
