UK’s Guingol Theatre will be filled with apowerful energy this Friday, Saturday andSunday with dance performances in UK’s“Loud and Clear.”

The high-energy show will consist of fouroriginal dance pieces, said Susie Thiel, direc-tor and UK dance program coordinator.

The first, titled “I Will Walk With You,”focuses on the internal monologue of eachdancer.

It examines how experiences build some-one’s life and centers around a wall built ofleaves created by local artist Beck Allen.

“It (the piece) deals with your innerthoughts,” Theil said. “The thoughts you wantto say but can’t. It comes from a really inter-nal place.”

The second piece, “Always Carry a LightBulb,” takes the audience through a “multime-dia display” of text, sound, movement anddance in order to create a direct line to the au-dience, Theil said.

“Shuffling Data,” the third piece, is an up-beat and quirky jazz piece inspired by Czechfolk music.

The choreography of this high-energypiece comes from the instincts of the dancersas they emulate the music via movement,Theil said.

The fourth and final piece, “Arriving atTurbulence,” is a hip-hop and jazz piece creat-ed by guest artist Amy Chavasse, a dance pro-fessor from the University of Michigan in col-laboration with UK dancers.

“What’s interesting about this work is it’sso different than anything that people haveseen,” Theil said.

Dance performances are more excitingand entertaining than any other kind of per-formance, according to the producer NancyJones, director of UK’s department of theater.

“I think students will really be surprised ina positive way,” she said. “Most peoplehaven’t seen a dance play before and this willblow them away. Besides, what is your col-lege experience if not a way to broaden your-self and gain new experiences?”

Performances are Friday and Saturday at7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Student ticketsare $10, and general admission tickets are$15. Both are available at the Singletary Cen-ter for the Arts ticket office.

Ryan Harrow’s mysteryillness. Alex Poythress’ ef-fort. Kyle Wiltjer’s (lackof) defense. Willie Cauley-Stein’s knee injury. ArchieGoodwin’s lack of control.

Individual issues haveplagued the Cats this year,preventing them fromgelling the way fans andmedia anticipated at thestart of the season.

“I’m disappointed, BigBlue Nation, but I like my

team and I believe we can still turn the cor-ner,” UK head coach John Calipari saidThursday on CoachCal.com.

Recent NBA mock drafts still have up tofour Cats as lottery picks next year. There isno other team that has that level of top-tiertalent. Despite all of that individual ability,however, the Cats have yet to put it all to-gether and perform consistently as a team.

The Cats are 12-6, with a 1-5 recordagainst teams ranked in the top 100 of theNCAA RPI. With Tuesday’s upset loss at Al-abama, the Cats are desperate for qualitywins and must avoid any further surpriselosses the rest of the season.

Calipari has essentially used a seven-player rotation since SEC play began. (Juniorguard Jarrod Polson is averaging just 6.6minutes per game.)

Let’s take a look at those seven.Sophomore guard Ryan HarrowHarrow came down with a mystery ill-

ness as the season started and did not fullyregain his spot as starting point guard untilthe Cats hosted Lipscomb on Dec. 15. He hasscored in double figures every game since re-turning to the starting lineup, except forTuesday’s game at Alabama, averaging 14.1points per game during that stretch.

Harrow has struggled handling the balland getting other players involved since con-ference play began. He had a 3.4 to 1 assist-to-turnover ratio in non-conference play, butis at just 1.5 to 1 in SEC play.

Calipari has said that Harrow has spentextra time in the gym, working to encourageand gain the trust of his teammates. For theCats to finish strong in the SEC, Harrow willhave to be a vocal leader that helps to createshots for his teammates.

Freshman forward Alex Poythress“Alex is just the motor. We’ve got to get

him to understand how hard on every posses-sion you must play. When we get him there,he will be scary,” Calipari said aboutPoythress — in mid-September.

The bad news is that it is late January

and the Cats are still wondering if Poythresswill compete hard every possession.

After the win at Auburn, Calipari thoughtthat Poythress was making advances.

“Now we have to keep him rolling in thatdirection. He is playing three minutes at a timeso he can just sustain that energy and get inthe habit,” Calipari said about him on Monday.

Sophomore forward Kyle WiltjerWiltjer was abused mercilessly in the

SEC opener at Vanderbilt. His defense wasexploited, as the Commodores consistentlyisolated him and took him off the dribble re-peatedly and the Cats barely held on to amuch-needed win.

Offensively, Wiltjer was non-existent,scoring two combined points in the first twoSEC games of the season.

Not scoring and not defending, it wastough to see him getting many minutes in fu-ture games.

Wiltjer fooled everyone by hitting thegym and working out some of the kinks andis now playing with unbelievable confidence.

“Kyle’s effort level has been off thecharts,” Calipari said Monday.

Wiltjer has led the Cats in scoring threeconsecutive games and should have beenmore of a factor in the second half againstAlabama. A few more touches for Wiltjercould have stemmed the tide and earned theCats a win in Tuscaloosa.Freshman forward Willie Cauley-Stein

Cauley-Stein had started five games in arow before going down because of a nagging

knee injury. In what was described as a “mi-nor” procedure to clean up an injury that hadbeen present since middle school, Cauley-Stein has missed the past two games.

His status has been described as day-to-day. The Cats need him back, but need himback healthy. Depth became a big issue forthe Cauley-Steinless Cats against Alabama,something that became apparent thanks toPoythress’ foul trouble.Freshman guard Archie GoodwinThe Cats can’t beat a quality opponent if

Goodwin decides to continually drive andshoot one against three and finishes the gameshooting 2-of-12.

Since Harrow’s return to the staring line-up, the Cats are 3-0 when Goodwin shootsfewer than 10 times in a game, and just 3-3when Goodwin shoots 10 times or more. Inthose losses, Goodwin is shooting a dreadful32.1 percent from the field.

Goodwin can create and get to the rimbetter than anyone else on the roster, but forthe Cats to be good he has to also find histeammates and stop forcing shots in trafficthat have very little chance to go in.

Until he thinks pass first, this team willstruggle. He has a greater opportunity to turnthis team around than any other player at thispoint.Graduate student guard Julius MaysCalipari wanted Mays to provide 3-point

shooting and leadership. After going 4-of-5behind the arc against Alabama on Tuesday,Mays is up to 35.8 percent 3-point shooting.

Leadership? At this point in the season,nobody can easily define who the leader ofthis team is.

Mays never hurts the team while he is onthe floor. He does, however, have a difficulttime hitting the shots he doesn’t take. Theone criticism is that he has a bad habit ofpassing up open looks. The team needs himto take, and hit, open jump shots when theopportunity arises.

Freshman forward Nerlens NoelNoel has been the model of consistency

in both effort and performance. He is justhalf a rebound a game away from AVERAG-ING a double-double, and that doesn’t evensummarize the way he stuffs the stat sheet.

He leads the Cats in rebounds, blockedshots, steals, posterizing dunks and floorburns. His post-up offensive game still needssome work, but with so many other potentialscorers on the floor that shouldn’t be holdingthe Cats back right now.

Noel is a sure NBA lottery pick and po-tential No. 1 draft pick this year. He will playseven more games as a Cat in Rupp Arena.Enjoy watching him play while you can.

Individual problems plague team

The No. 15 UK gymnastics team trav-els to Tuscaloosa on Friday to competeagainst No. 5 Alabama in the ninth annual“Power of Pink” meet.

Gymnasts from both schools will befeatured in pink leotards to raise breast can-cer awareness.

The Cats (4-1, 2-0 SEC) face the two-time defending national champion Alabama(2-0 SEC) in the Crimson Tide’s ColemanColiseum.

UK and the Tide also competed in lastyear’s “Power of Pink” meet, in which thehome squad came out on top by 2.425points.

After a strong start to the season, whichhas featured back-to-back SEC wins for thefirst time in school history, UK will belooking to continue its early-season trend ofcausing upsets.

All four of the Cats’ victories this cam-paign have come against higher-ranked op-ponents.

UK is also looking to continue its streakof breaking the 195-point mark, somethingthe Cats have done in each of their pastthree outings.

Friday’s meet begins at 8:30 p.m. andwill be aired on Fox Sports South on Feb.2.

After being ranked No. 8 byCollegiate Baseball and No. 13by Perfect Game USA, UK base-ball added another high pre-sea-son ranking to its list Thursdaywith the news that the Cats havebeen ranked No. 11 by BaseballAmerica.

It is the first time the Catshave been listed in the BaseballAmerica preseason rankingssince 2007, when they weretabbed at No. 30.

Despite having a school-record nine players selected inthe 2012 MLB Draft, UK’s rosterwas not destroyed by playersbolting for the bigs.

In fact, UK head coach GaryHenderson will have 15 playersin his locker room who have beendrafted but elected to stick withthe Cats.

Only one team in the SECcan boast that many draft pickson its roster — Vanderbilt, with18.

Included on that list is left-handed senior pitcher JeradGrundy, who was selected by theMinnesota Twins with the 820thpick of the 2012 draft.

Henderson’s players have hada busy summer, with nine mem-bers playing in either the CapeCod League or with the USACollegiate National Team.

Sophomore outfielder AustinCousino, junior pitcher CoreyLittrell and sophomorepitcher/first baseman A.J. Reedhave also been named as pre-sea-son All-Americans.

One of the Cats who was fea-tured in the Cape Cod Leaguewas senior pitcher Walter Wijas.

“I was given a great opportu-nity to play in the Cape and Itook advantage of it right away,”Wijas said in a news release. “Myfirst outing I threw well and it gotme a little confidence that carriedme through the summer. Thesummer was just what I neededto boost my confidence and boosteverything I needed to be suc-cessful.”

Wiljas said he is relishing theprospect of passing on his experi-ence as he leads the bullpen intohis senior season.

“It is a great opportunity tobe a leader,” he said. “It is greatto be around Hendu (Henderson)and him having trust in me to bea leader of the staff. It puts faithin me and gives me confidence.”

The Cats are coming off a2012 season that was the mostsuccessful in program history.

A new school record for winswas set as the Cats went 45-18and made a deep run in theNCAA Tournament, before beingousted by eventual national quar-ter-finalists Kent State in the re-gional finals.

UK’s bid to better that recordbreaking seasons begins on Feb.23 when the Cats travel to Spar-tanbug, S.C., to play UNCAsheville.

Opening day at Cliff HaganStadium is scheduled for Feb. 26when the Cats will play MurrayState.

Baseball addspreseason ranking

The world’s top-ranked amateur hoops star,Andrew Wiggins, and his Huntington Prep(W.Va.) team will hit the road once again thisweekend. A few days after returning from a tripto the Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass.,the Express will play a series of games in Ohio.

“It wears you down,” Huntington Prep headcoach Rob Fulford said to the Kernel on Thurs-day. “As a player it wears you down, as a staffyou get tired. We just got back from Massachu-setts and we are turning around and goingagain.”

Huntington Prep, which features a 20-2record this season, will play in the ScholasticPlay-by-Play Classic on Friday night, with theevent hosted by Withrow High School ofCincinnati.

Scores of UK fans are expected to attend theevent in an effort to encourage the recruit to de-cide on a collegiate career with the Cats.

When Huntington Prep played twice at Mar-shall County Hoopfest earlier this winter, fansdecked in blue and white chanted “We WantWiggins” and “Go Big Blue” during bothgames.

Friday’s event gets under way at 6 p.m. witha contest between Summit Country Day andDayton Dunbar, which precedes Withrow vs.Covington Catholic at 7:30 p.m., with Hunting-ton Prep facing Aiken, Ohio, in the 9 p.m. fi-nale.

Following the late-night contest HuntingtonPrep will travel to North Canton, Ohio, for twogames in the Dunk 4 Diabetes showcase atWalsh University.

On Saturday, the Express will face an inter-esting challenge against Mentor (Ohio) at 9 p.m.

“Mentor is really, really good. They play adifficult style to guard.” Fulford said. “They putfive shooters on the floor and spread you out.They shoot about 50 threes a game. So it’s oneof those things where if they get hot, you are infor a long night.”

But Fulford’s praise for Cardinals did notstop there.

“With their different style, they are like oneof those NCAA tournament teams that no onewants to play,” he said. “And unfortunately wehave to play them Saturday.”

The last game of this road trip, before head-

ing back to West Virginia, will be against Cleve-land Benedictine on Sunday. That game isscheduled to get under way at 5 p.m.

The wear and tear from all the travel thisseason has left Fulford mulling a differentscheduling strategy in seasons to come.

“We are rethinking how we are doing sched-uling for the future. We are going to try to domore home-and-homes and less showcases fornext year.”

The change may be in the best interests ofhis players, as No. 1 ranked Andrew Wigginshas spent much of the season trying to recoverfrom various illnesses.

“He had the flu and then he kind of got overthat. Then he got bronchitis and it has just beenone thing on top of the other,” Fulford said. “Andagain, the travel has not helped.”

Although Wiggins still holds on to the topspot in the 2013 class, his jump shot has beenoff compared to where it was over the summer,and even last year.

Speculation has surfaced that the recruitingand decision-making process is weighing himdown and hindering his on-court production.

“I think some, but he just has not beenhealthy,” Fulford said when asked if the processis affecting his star player. “He hasn’t felt wellfor a month and not playing up to potential insome games.”

Still, do not expect a decision to come fromthe 6-foot-7 forward anytime soon. Wiggins hasmade only one official visit so far, despite hav-ing four schools battling it out to secure hisservices. UK, North Carolina and Kansas haveyet to welcome Wiggins on an official visit tocampus, with only the alma mater of his parents,Florida State, being visited so far.

“Unfortunately he was not ready to take thevisits in the fall because we didn’t knowwhether he was going to be a senior or not,”Fulford said in reference to Wiggins decision toreclassify from the 2014 class to 2013.

With Huntington Prep’s final regular seasongame scheduled for March 9 against CapitalCity Prep (D.C.), Wiggins plans to go on officialvisits to Lexington, Raleigh and Lawrence soonafter.

“He is going to take his visits,” Fulford said.“We are going to try to squeeze them in when-ever we can. We have got so many things goingon until March. But then he’s going to have toplug visits in on top of the McDonald’s AllAmerican game and on top of the Jordan game.” PHOTO BY TESSA LIGHTY | STAFF

Gamecocks hold UK to 50 pointsUSC upsets Hoops

No. 18 South Carolina upset No. 5UK Hoops, 55-50, in Columbia, S.C.,Thursday night, giving the Cats theirfirst loss since November.

In 40 minutes of what has becomea contentious rivalry, defensive stal-warts South Carolina (16-3, 5-2 SEC)and UK (18-2, 6-1 SEC) went blow-for-blow, with the Gamecocks ulti-mately coming out on top.

“All the credit needs to go toSouth Carolina tonight,” said UK headcoach Matthew Mitchell in a news re-lease. “They just wanted the gamemore, and they really did play tough,tenacious and really physical basket-ball. We just weren’t as tough as themtonight.”

Competing with the Gamecocks’defensive toughness is no small feat.South Carolina lead the SEC in oppo-nent scoring, holding their opponentsto 47.6 points per game. That trendcontinued Thursday, as UK’s 50 pointswere the fewest the Cats have scoredin a game this season, a minimum pre-viously set in UK’s only other loss thisseason, an 85-51 defeat at No. 1 Bay-lor.

Eight minutes into the first half of

play, the Cats carried a 12-6 lead,much on the backs of junior centerDeNesha Stallworth and redshirt soph-omore Jennifer O’Neill. After takingthe lead, however, the Cats suffered aneight-minute scoreless run. With 3:50left in the half, senior guard A’diaMathies ended the Cats’ offensivedrought, and the two teams entered thelocker room tied up 19-19 at the half,with 11 of the Cats’ 19 points scoredby O’Neill.

Mathies’ overall performance wasmodest in comparison to her last twooutings, as she scored 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting (0-of-3 from 3-pointrange). This after a 45-point runagainst Mississippi State and Auburn,in which she shot 60 percent from thefield and 72.7 percent from behind thearc.

“They just played really good Dand were committed to stopping herand really just (playing) all-aroundfantastic defense,” said Mitchell of theGamecocks’ ability to hold Mathies to12 points.

“I don’t know that that is extraor-dinary for a team like South Carolina,who is so good on defense.”

Despite Mathies’ relatively limitedperformance and a 18-4 second-halfrun from the Gamecocks, the Catswere still within reach of the lead late,trailing 53-50 with 16.4 seconds toplay. South Carolina senior forwardAshley Bruner got her hands on a UKinbound pass in the final seconds toseal the deal and put the Cats away.

The Gamecocks’ top performerwas senior guard Ieasia Walker, with16 points, eight rebounds and threesteals. Sophomore forward AleighsaWelch also had a strong night, collect-ing 11 points and seven boards.

“South Carolina just wanted to winthe game, and they played much morephysical, and when that happens thenwe get beat,” Mitchell said. “Our de-sire has been great all season, and wewere just not up to match the physicalchallenge that South Carolina put onus.”

The Cats will have a chance to re-bound Sunday as they return home toplay LSU. Tip-off will be at 3 p.m. atMemorial Coliseum. The game will betelevised live on Sports South, FoxSports Southwest and Sun Sports.

The Beer Pong King, with a microphone peeking from hisfront pocket, ascends to his throne — otherwise known as theDJ booth at the Union in Roseville, Calif. Below he sees fourlong tables stacked with red plastic party cups, a crowd of 20thirsty teams vying for a $100 purse, and wayward pingpongballs popping around the floor like bacon splatter.

“Welcome to Tuesday night beer pong at the Union,” saidhis royal highness, his microphone now live. “If you’re here forbeer pong, come see me at the DJ booth. And we’ve got $5pitchers all night. Anyone looking for a partner?”

How cool it would be to sign bar tabs simply as “Beer PongKing”? But for that he uses his real name: Hector Rivera. He’s30 years old, living fit and single not far from the Union, a pop-ular hangout for those recently of drinking age in Roseville.

Rivera looks a little like the comedian Pablo Francisco, butbeer pong is no laughing matter for the young entrepreneur. It’sthe gas in his Acura TL, the roof over his Roseville home, theBurberry watch on his wrist.

Beer pong is Rivera’s full-time job, where punching a clockmeans promoting and organizing tournaments, obsessing over a“Beer Pong King” documentary and pitching high-powered re-ality TV show producers.

Beer pong, after all, has emerged from its party game ori-gins with plastic cups to high-stakes $50,000 tournaments, offi-cial merchandise and music videos. Rivera’s mission: to getsome of that money.

The Beer Pong King isn’t so much a feared competitor as aCEO type with PowerPoint presentations about this partygame’s commercial potential. He aims to build a beer pong em-pire, to transform this time-honored party game into a lifestyleand a profitable bit of pop culture.

This might sound like crazy talk, but Rivera is banking on abeer pong bonanza, either through a “Pong Kings” reality TVshow, his documentary, mass merchandising beer pong equip-ment — or, preferably, all of the above.

“You’ve seen the pictures of Justin Bieber playing beerpong, right? said Rivera, who often speaks with an unmodulatedconfidence, like life is one giant pitch meeting. “Beer pong is

ready to explode. I’m trying to find someone who does it betterthan me. I’m not only keeping up but I’m setting the trends.”

The life of beer pong royalty sounds charmed, like a foreverfraternity party or someone who plays co-ed softball for a living.The perks have been plenty: hanging with hip-hop stars and aPlayboy Playmate; rubbing elbows at the beer pong table withSacramento Kings players and actor Tommy Davidson; no ear-ly-morning alarm signaling it’s time to rush to the cubicle.

Before Rivera crowned himself the Beer Pong King, hip-hop was his hustle. Rivera, a graduate of Roseville High School,started promoting concerts at age 19, working with the rap starsToo $hort and E-40. He also held a couple of average-Joe sidejobs, including managing a company that provides maintenanceservices for apartment buildings.

But, as it did for many of us, the year 2008 fizzled like thelast bit of foam in a keg. Rivera was laid off from two jobswhen the Great Recession hit and meanwhile felt burned outfrom promoting rap shows.

Then, it all came to him … beer pong. Bingo!He remembered the days of hanging with friends in Tempe,

Ariz., home of Arizona State University, and seeing how muchthe college kids loved playing beer pong. Rivera listened to hisintuitions as a promoter, noting how unorganized the typical col-lege beer pong tournament was run. He would do better.

A Beer Pong King was born.“I’d seen Donald Trump say that during the worst economic

times is when there’s the most opportunity,” said Rivera, on arecent afternoon in midtown, far from the glow of beer signsand video game screens. “I thought with my skills at promoting— I’m blessed with a mouthpiece — I can get 100 teams andthey’re paying $40. That’s four grand! If I give them a grand, Istill have three grand.”

Beer pong itself has been a party staple for decades, and isthought to have originated at East Coast universities. Whateverits genesis, beer pong has become synonymous with house par-ties, college ragers and wherever young people congregate withsmall oceans of beer.

Beer pong is generally played with two teams facing eachother on either side of a table. They take turns lobbing a ping-pong ball into the other team’s cups, which hold a few ounces ofbeer. If the ball lands in its sudsy target, that team must drink thebeer from the cup and the empties are removed. Once a teamhas consumed all the beer from its cups, game over.

Tournaments can now be found around the country. Riveraorganizes at least two tournaments a week, primarily in Ro-seville, including the Union and the Trocadero. Teams pay a $5entry fee and compete for a prize purse, usually $100 or more.

Other beer pong tournaments crop up at the occasional lo-cal bar, but Rivera prides himself on taking his promotions toanother level.

“I’m using much more than social media,” he said. “I’mmaking videos, making fliers, doing print media, going on thenews. The other (promoters) are eating off my fat.”

Here’s the twist: Like many beer pong tournaments held atbars, the cups at the Union actually hold water, which no onedrinks. The game is treated more like darts, though there’s noshortage of pint glasses in hand and pitchers of beer orderedfrom the bar. Beer pong in this case is more skill and games-manship, not just an excuse to get hammered.

Rivera isn’t much of a drinker, anyway. (“My whole deal isI’m really focused,” he said. “I’m really athletic, so I don’t liketo drink.”) Even if a game used beer, he points out, it takes

about three bottles ofbeer to fill 10 cups —or about a beer and ahalf per person on a two-person team.

“When we pitch thenetworks, I’m going to setup the tables, right in frontof executives,” Rivera said.“We don’t even need to usebeer. We’re going to showthem how long it takes abeer pong game to go onwith two to three beers andfour people, which is whatwe’re drinking anyway atparties. It’s not a binge drink-ing game. It’s not quarters.”

Rivera’s pitching a show,to be set in San Diego, that mixes“Jersey Shore”-like shenanigans with beer pong culture. Hear-ing that Season 4 of “Jersey Shore” in Italy sold for $7 millionpumps up the Beer Pong King. He’s hoping to reap the kind ofpaychecks usually reserved for dotcom moguls or Hollywoodexecutives.

“I’m not trying to sign for no 60 grand,” Rivera said. “We’retrying to sign for some big money.”

He has a Hollywood connection in his court for pitching thereality series: Alex Cortez, a veteran radio programmer who’salso worked in promotions for Warner Bros. They’re hoping tohear back soon from 25/7 Productions, the company behind“The Biggest Loser.”

Rivera’s also working on his “Beer Pong King” documen-tary, which goes behind the scenes at his tournaments and fea-tures him hanging with the likes of Heather Rene Smith, Play-boy magazine’s Miss February 2007. Filming the documentaryis still under way but a “Beer Pong King” trailer is up onYouTube.

“I feel this is one of the most interesting documentaries inthe world because it’s about what’s really going on with theyoung people today,” he said. “Not only have I made a careerfrom it, but I’ve got my region’s musicians, athletes and actorsto be a part of this. No one in the beer pong community hascome close to that.”

Rivera wants to continue expanding the beer pong audiencefrom its preppy and collegiate origins, making it both morecelebrity-driven and streetwise. Though the World Series ofBeer Pong has its own official merchandise, Rivera wants to getin the licensing game, too. He has an end game in mind: Wal-Mart.

“They’re the only company capable of doing the volume Iwant to do,” Rivera said. “I’d like a $49.99 Beer Pong Kingtable that’s affordable for every college kid in the country, pluscups, balls, T-shirts, all that stuff, and have them license it.They’re gonna go like hotcakes.”

The Beer Pong King hopes that future hurries up. Whilewine improves with time, the same can’t be said of beer.

“If I was 21 or 22 years old, this would be a dream job,”Rivera said. “But I’m 30 years old. That’s when you normallyhave a family and a ‘real job.’ As a promoter it’s a young man’sgame, but I’m running circles around these kids. It’s like, dude,what else do I have to do?”

Horoscope

It would be great, one day, to see JasonStatham try his hand at a romance, or slap-stick farce. He wouldn’t have to change whathe does — if he could, which seems doubtful.Somehow, the counterintuitive casting of thetaciturn British action star in something lightand larky, or Nicholas Sparks-y, is an appeal-ing notion. Incongruous, almost surreal.

There’s nothing incongruous, however,about the title role Statham takes on in “Park-er.” A master thief with a tensile moral codeand a torso scarred with bullet holes, Statham’sParker shows up at the Ohio State Fair with atuft of gray hair and a clerical collar — a priestout for a day of carnival games and sack races.In fact, he’s the point man in a heist scheme,robbing the offices of a weekend’s worth of re-ceipts. After a chaotic getaway, his cohortsdouble-cross him, leaving him on the side ofthe road, presumed dead.

Wrong! Not dead! Adapted from the pseu-donymous Donald E. Westlake novel “Flash-

fire,” “Parker” goes from there. And he goesfrom Kentucky to New Orleans to Palm Beach,using his criminal wiles to track the crookedquartet down. Along the way, he has to send hisgirlfriend (Emma Booth) into hiding, because amob boss is out to get him.

And then there’s Jennifer Lopez’s Leslie,a hard-up Palm Beach real estate agent (shesays “Italianate villa” with aplomb) whomeets Parker, disguised as a Texas millionaire,but susses him out and insinuates herself intohis payback scheme. And it requires a willing-ness to abandon all plausibility. But, hey.

Taylor Hackford directs crisply, unpreten-tiously. The action is fast and furious, Parkergets stabbed and shot and almost falls off ahigh-rise ledge to his death.

And he gets to say stuff like “Will youwait for me at the fish camp?”

To which his girlfriend replies, “Youknow I will.”

Take that, Nicholas Sparks.

Nicholas Sparks has nothing to fear from ‘Parker’

UK hockey (9-16-1) takes on No. 4 Lin-denwood (13-5-1) in a pair of late-night con-tests Friday and Saturday.

Lindenwood competes in the central divi-sion of the ACHA while the Cats compete inthe southeast division.

“Central division is thought of as just asgood, or even harder, than the Southeast,”said Cats senior forward Dylan Rohar.

UK enters the games on the back of twolosses to No. 2 Penn State this past weekend,which was preceded by two defeats at thehands of Toledo. Friday’s game will be Linden-wood’s second weekend outing of the springsemester after back-to-back wins over RobertMorris University Illinois on Jan. 11 and 12.

Senior forward Sean McLaughlin says theCats will need to implement their game planwell against the Lions.

“We need to play passive aggressive,” hesaid. “Get them to break out before we at-tack.”

Junior defenseman Jeremy Schmidt saidthe Cats will need to do the basic things rightif they are to walk out of the Lexington IceCenter with wins on Friday and Saturday.

“Simple plays, easy plays,” Schmidt said.“Hard work, get the puck in deep.”

UK junior goaltender Aaron Tenfeldeadded that the Cats will have the wind in theirsails after almost taking Penn State to over-time one night after being on the receivingend of an 8-0 scoreline.

In Saturday’s 5-4 loss the Cats playedtheir most physical game of the season thusfar. Even Rohar, who is usually known asmore of a finesse-type player, came out hit-ting.

“It’s ‘cause his fiancée was in the stands,”senior defenseman Brandon Tigrett said ofRohar’s new physical style of play.

The hitting seemed to pay off, bringingthe Cats close to an upset victory. In additionto continuing that physical play against Lin-denwood, UK knows it will need to makesome adjustments on defense in order to takedown the Lions.

“We had a couple turnovers inthe defensive zone, which result-ed in three goals. They alsotripled our shots,” Tenfelde said.

Lindenwood is led by gradu-ate forward Dettrick Pierzinskiand his team-high 15 goals and 15assists. Pierzinski also leads theteam in penalty minutes with 70.When Tigrett was asked how theCats were going to shut himdown, the answer was simple.

“Talk to him. We put him inthe box,” he said.

Face-off is set for midnightfor both Friday and Saturday atthe Lexington Ice Center. Admis-sion is $7 at the door.
