Big Blue Nation also should have ‘players first’ mentality
Through wins, losses,Cats need fan support
It’s all fun and gameswhile cutting down nets andsending droves of players tothe NBA.
John Calipari’s first threeyears as head coach at UKproduced 102 victories, two
Final Fours,one nationalchampi-onship and15 NBAdraft picks(11 in thefirst round).
Despitepersonallydespisingthe NBA’sone-and-done rule,Calipari em-braced the
top-level recruits most affect-ed by the regulation.
Many were convincedthat he had it all figured out.Simply rinse and repeat.Send one group off to theNBA, sign another top-ratedrecruiting class, wave a mag-ic wand and produce anothertitle contender.
This season has proved itisn’t quite that easy.
“The whole thing here, it’sa players-first program,” Cali-pari said before the seasonstarted. “Every decision I
make is based on what’s rightfor these kids. Everything I dois based on them and if I doright by them and keep doingright by them, they’ll drag uswhere we want to go.”
Right now, it is entirelypossible the Cats might bedragged straight into the NIT.
What is UK basketballreally about? The next monthof activity will determine that— more so than defeatingKansas for the championshiplast year or having five first-round draft picks in the 2010NBA Draft.
If UK is really a players-first program and if UK is re-ally alone in the stratosphereof fan support for its collegebasketball program, then nowis the time to prove it.
This season has seen atleast three different phases ofCoach Cal.
“Disciplinarian Cal” wasin full force early in the sea-son, making the team run inpractice when they mademistakes and instituting“Camp Cal” — a series ofearly-morning workouts dur-ing Christmas break, de-signed to increase enduranceand mental toughness.
“Encouraging Cal” cameout as SEC play began, as hecheered the team on more
from the sidelines and told themedia often, “I like my team.”
“Confused Cal” seems tohave surfaced after Satur-day’s 30-point drubbing atTennessee, the Cats’ firstgame without standout fresh-man forward Nerlens Noel,who was lost for the seasonwith a torn ACL.
“We’re going to have togo back to the drawingboard. I’m going to have tofigure out exactly how we’regoing to have to play offen-sively and what we’re goingto have to do defensively,and we’ll go from there,”Calipari said after the lossSaturday.
If Calipari puts a greatplan in play, will this teamexecute?
“We’ve got a couple ofguys that are basically notreal coachable,” Caliparisaid. “We’re leaving everytimeout, ‘This is what youmust do, boom, boom,boom,’ and the guy comesout and does the oppositethree things. We’ve got somegrowing up to do.”
The Cats have to re-spond, and they have to re-spond quickly. The seven-game season that started Sat-PHOTO BY GENEVIEVE ADAMS | STAFF
UK guards Julius Mays, center, and Jon Hood talk with head coach John Calipari in the second half Saturday. The 88-58 score saw UK lose by more points than in any other game in the Calipari era.
The UK College of Engi-neering will host a free lunchand lecture with Mark Davis,a renowned cancer re-searcher and triple UK alum-nus on Friday. It also willhost “Engineering Cares:Cancer Education Week” toaccompany Davis’ eStudioE-Day speaker event.
Davis’ lecture will startat 11:30 a.m. in the Ray-mond Student Commons ofthe Ralph G. AndersonBuilding.
This event marks thesixth annual talk celebrating
the role of communicationskills in the lives of notableengineers.
“Industry tells us clearlythat in order to be successful,our engineers need to devel-op not just solid technicalskills, but also strong com-munication skills,” said Emi-ly Dotson, associate directorof the Elbert C. Ray eStudio,in an email to the Kernel.
Davis, a chemical engi-neer at the California Insti-tute of Technology, initiallyfocused his career on issuesrelated to the oil industry,but shifted his focus to nan-otechnology in hopes offinding a new way to deliver
cancer treatment that directlytargets the cancer, minimiz-ing damage to non-affectedcells and tissue.
This shift was promptedby his wife’s diagnosis ofbreast cancer and her experi-ence with chemotherapy.
His wife, Mary, is a sur-vivor, but encouraged herhusband to find a better wayof treatment.
The cancer educationweek will open with a scav-enger hunt Monday at 8 a.m.Facts about cancer will behidden throughout the engi-neering complex and the firststudent to find all the facts

Alumnus is researching a new way to treat disease
UK’s Center for Re-search on Violence AgainstWomen, together with Veri-zon Wireless, is pioneering ascholarship program to em-power domestic violencevictims.
Verizon Wireless willfund five renewable scholar-ships valued at up to $4,000per year each.
The scholarships will notonly provide financial assis-tance for a college education,but also a UK academic coun-selor to ensure success and anadvocate from the local Blue-grass Domestic Violence Pro-gram to assist with any pro-tection or advocacy needs.
“The purpose of theWomen’s EmpowermentScholarship Program is to as-sist women in accessing edu-cation as a means of escap-ing violence and providingfor their families,” said CarolJordan, director of the Centerfor Research on ViolenceAgainst Women.
“Providing an education-al escape for women whohave suffered through expe-riences such as this is oftenoverlooked,” senior HannahGraham said. “It is nice tosee UK taking a stand andoffering assistance.”
Applicants must be UKstudents working to obtain abachelor’s degree whose ex-perience with violence hasimpacted their lives and their
education. They must havebeen served through one ofthe programs of the Ken-tucky Domestic Violence As-sociation.
“The Women’s Empow-erment Scholarship is avail-able for women at this uni-versity whose lives havebeen harmed by violence andwho need education as a wayto recover from that experi-ence,” Jordan said. “Theirexperience may include hav-ing watched violence againsttheir mother, or it may betheir own experience of vio-lence at the hands of an inti-mate partner.”
Applications are avail-able at www.uky.edu/CR-VAW/public, and are dueMarch 15.

The UK hockey team(11-23-0) closed out its sea-son with a pair of wins overrival Louisville (12-21-0)this weekend.
“It felt great. We neededthat,” senior forward SeanMcLaughlin said of endingthe season on two wins.
Friday’s game, in Lex-ington, saw a standing room-only crowd of more than1,000 people. Rink staffwere forced to turn peopleaway at the door because offire safety codes.
“We will remember thatcrowd forever. That atmos-phere was insane,” seniorforward Dylan Rohar said.
The Cats didn’t disap-point the crowd and wouldexit the first period ahead, 2-1, after goals from Roharand junior forward JakeBoss.
Shortly into the second
period, junior forward MattMcLaughlin deflected fresh-man defenseman AlexTownsend’s shot into thegoal to create a 3-1 lead forthe Cats.
A rocket slap shot fromjunior defenseman JeremySchmidt would extend theUK lead to three goals, butthe Cardinals weren’t givingup easily. U of L freshmanforward Ryan MacDonaldwould put the puck behindUK senior goaltender SalOlivet seconds after Schmidtstepped onto the ice from thepenalty box.
Junior forward MattHudzinski would add to theCats’ lead late in the thirdperiod. Shortly after hisgoal, several Louisville play-ers took offense andfisticuffs broke out betweenseveral Cats and Cards. Thegame would end with twoplayers from each side in thepenalty box. UK won, 5-2.
“The last games for our
seniors, we all want to put ashow on for them, get theW,” Boss said.
And put a show on theCats would. The Cardinalswere the home team Satur-day evening as the Catsmade the trip to Louisvillefor the second contest. Ice-land Sports Complex alsosaw a standing room-onlycrowd.
Forty-five seconds intothe first period, SeanMcLaughlin put the puckbehind Louisville juniorgoaltender Kyle Burdorf tocreate a 1-0 Cats lead. Theywould never let off the gasin their final game of theseason.
On a hooking call to theCardinals, Matt McLaughlinput the puck behind Burdorf.Freshman defenseman DylanHiggins was quick to remindthe crowd that theMcLaughlin brothersweren’t the only Cats with ascoring touch when he net-
ted his own goal 30 secondslater.
A minute later, Roharadded his first goal of the
evening and Louisvillecalled a timeout. The Catsexited the first period aheadof the Cardinals, 4-0.

LOS ANGELES — Lionize your rockand country heroes in songs and good thingswill follow — it worked for Taylor Swift,who launched her career six years ago withher single “Tim McGraw,” and it worked forEric Church, who leads the 48th Academy ofCountry Music Awards nominations withseven, including his single saluting the Boss,“Springsteen.”
The hit track, which recently scoredChurch a pair of Grammy nominations,earned Church ACM nods both as the singlerecord and song of the year. He’s also vyingfor album of the year with “Chief,” whichcontains that single, as well as male vocalist,video and vocal event of the year.

Miranda Lambert and Swift each got fivenominations, pitting them against one anoth-er in the top category of entertainer of theyear, a distinction Swift has taken home three
times, including the last two years in a row.Also up for the entertainer trophy are JasonAldean, Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton.

urday is now only six, and the Cats need towin four or five of those to be in any con-tention for the Big Dance.
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi’s latest Bracketol-ogy update has the Cats completely out ofthe NCAA Tournament.
If Big Blue Nation really has the bestfans in college basketball, now would be thetime to rally behind the team instead of rip-ping them apart.
Freshman forward Willie Cauley-Steintweeted shortly after the game Saturday,“We have really good fake fans!! For all thereal ones out there please stay behind us westill can change this around #havefaith.”
Cauley-Stein was one of the players whohad deleted has Twitter account earlier in theseason because of negative remarks fromfans.
Hopefully practice and classwork willoccupy enough of the players’ time to keepthem off the message boards and blogs —they are mostly a vitriolic cesspool.
The team will need fan support, especial-ly at Rupp Arena, in the final stages of theseason. Four of the final six games are athome, including a vital matchup for ESPNGameDay on Saturday against Missouri.
When the ESPN show came to Lexing-ton in 2010, the Cats set an attendancerecord of 22,000 for the 11 a.m. airing. TheCats had set a goal of breaking that record,but a UK spokesman said Sunday that “al-most 13,000 tickets have been ordered ordistributed.” The tickets are free and areavailable at the UK ticket office, Rupp Are-na box office or at Ticketmaster.com.
Calipari has made it clear that UK is aplayers-first program. If that is the vision forthe program, then coaches, players and fansshould embrace it fully — not just when theteam is winning.

The end of February signals the coming of elections forStudent Government. Each year, the student body is affordedthe opportunity to vote for president and vice president, col-
lege senators and senators-at-large. Rather than an annual formality, elec-
tions should mark a special occasion whenstudents directly impact the voice heard bythe administration and faculty. Though theseinstitutions may seem separate at times, Stu-dent Government’s elected representativesoffer a consolidated consensus toward posi-tive changes around the university.
Recent changes include the expansionof on-campus housing, secured internshipsin Washington, D.C. (through WIG) andvarious campus-wide safety initiatives.
Without collective representation, noneof these initiatives would have been possi-ble. Voting ensures SGA is representative of
the entire student body and allows it to delegate with the ut-most legitimacy on everyone’s behalf.
Elections this year will take place on Feb. 27 and 28. Vot-ing can be done by visiting the SGA website or through vari-ous voting stations on campus.
I challenge all of you to participate in the process of se-lecting your student representatives of the 2013-14 academicyear.

February is a month to spreadawareness of something very close tohome for me, and I wanted to share
my story with any-one who cares toread it.
I was born witha very rare chro-mosomal disordercalled Turner syn-drome, which af-fects 1 in every2,000 live-borngirls. Actually, Iam missing one Xchromosome,though some girlswith this conditionhave a partial X
chromosome. It took 15 years for doctors to
notice that something was differentabout me than other girls — thoughmom had thought that herself mywhole life. The doctors all told hershe was being an over concernedfirst-time mother.
So one summer day when I was15, she took me to the local clinicand told them her concerns onceagain. I wasn’t very tall for my ageat only 4-foot-9, and I had not “de-veloped” at all as a girl should.
This time the doctor decided to
do some blood work to see what wasgoing on.
We got the call a week later thatmy LH hormones were very high,and the clinician was referring me toan endocrinologist in Louisville. Atthe endocrinologist’s, it took the doc-tor about 10 seconds to look at methen tell me that I had Turner syn-drome.
He began explaining what it is,and what actions I needed to take totake care of myself, and more impor-tantly, lead a normal life.
I was to be on growth hormoneshots for three or so years, and birthcontrol pills after that for estrogen re-placement therapy the rest of my life.
The months following my diag-nosis were a blur of doctor visits,tests, and blood-work for my familyand I.
I am so blessed, however, and Ilearned this as soon as I started re-searching Turner syndrome for myselfwith my parents that my case is somuch less severe than for other girlsand women who have this disorder.
Turner syndrome is named afterDr. Henry Turner, who discovered itin the 1930s after conducting re-search on some girls who sharedsimilar symptoms and short stature.
Babies with Turner syndrome
have a 99 percent chance of not evensurviving the pregnancy (Turner syn-drome also accounts for 10 percentof all miscarriages), and I shouldhave been diagnosed with Turners assoon as I was born, since I had notbeen diagnosed in vitro, which is thecase for a lot of girls.
Some common symptoms are:conjoined kidneys, premature ovaryfailure, short stature, minor heart de-fects (this has not been a problem forme yet, though I do have a mal-formed aortic valve), high bloodpressure, thyroid issues, deafness andblindness can develop, and there aresome other things that we are simplymore susceptible to than other peo-ple, like gluten allergies and skincancer (no tanning for me!).
There are awesome support sys-tems that help girls and women whoare diagnosed with Turner syndrome— the Turner Syndrome Society is avery good one, and there are a fewlocal groups who are there to offereach other support and friendship.

One down, 56 to go. UKbaseball got its 2013 regularseason off to a winning startFriday with a 9-2 win overUNC Asheville.
UK head coach GaryHenderson sent sophomorepitcher A.J. Reed to themound in the first of a three-game opening weekend host-ed by USC Upstate in Spar-tanburg, S.C.
“It was a lot of fun,” Reedsaid to UK Athleticspostgame. “I was just goingout there to try and do what Icould to help the team get thewin.”
Reed struck out four, giv-ing up two runs on six hits,allowing no walks in five in-nings of work.
The Terre Haute, Ind., na-tive also put in a strong con-tribution on offense, equalinga career day at the plate bygoing 4-for-5 and bagging hisfirst career triple.
“Getting the start on thefirst game, there is a little bitof pressure and you are a lit-tle bit fired up, your adrena-line is going a little bit,” Reedsaid. “You just got to settledown and make a pitch when
you needed to and I was ableto for the most part.”
Junior second basemanJ.T. Riddle also equaled a ca-reer day at the plate, hitting 3-for-4, including two doublesfor his first multi-doublegame.
“My approach was just toget the foot down, that iswhat I have been working onfor the last month or so,” Rid-dle said. “I knew they weregoing to pitch me away allday and I got that first doubledown the left-field line,which feltgreat to get.Later on theycame insideand I justwent with theball, focusedon the middleand hit itwhere it waspitched.”
S o p h o -more centerfielder AustinC o u s i n oswiped two stolen bases aspart of a 2-for-4 performance,which featured two walks.
The Cats took a three-runlead in the top of the first andnever looked back.
Playing small ball to getthe win, they relied on basehits, Cousino’s stolen basesand walks to chalk up theirnine runs, with the home runcolumn staying empty.
