CHARLES GERBA, a professor in the Soil, Water and Environmental Science Department, swabs a coffee cup lid to test for the number and type of bacteria on the lid in the Veterinary Science and Microbiology building on Tuesday. Gerba conducted a study that revealed that coffee cup lids carry bacteria that could transmit anything from the common cold to the flu to those who come in contact with them.

Coffee lovers beware: Coffee cup lids can be home to a host of harmful viruses and fecal bacteria, according to a UA professor.

Charles Gerba, a professor of environmental microbiology in the Soil, Water and Environmental Science Department, studies how diseases spread among people and objects in indoor settings.

Gerba recently examined the bacteria on 40 coffee cup lids from various coffee shops.

Ten of the lids made up the control group, meaning they weren’t handled, while the other 30 were the experiment group.

These 30 lids were handled by coffee shop owners and customers alike, accumulating bacteria that was then looked at in the lab.

Gerba found that the lids were contaminated with fecal

bacteria through the presence of E. coli, which indicated that viruses could be present as well.

“It’s basically ‘catch a cold with your caffeine in the morning,’” Gerba said. “I don’t think most people expect it.”

Jonathan Sexton, a research specialist in community, environment and policy who has worked with Gerba in the past, said testing for E. coli is an easy way to show the presence of fecal bacteria, among other forms of bacteria.

“E. coli is a fecal indicator,” Sexton said. “It’s really easy to process in the lab, and it’s really cheap. Some of these other organisms cost hundreds of dollars just to look for it in the lab.”

Gerba said E. coli was just one of the indicators in his study. He also saw other bacteria present, like the Noro virus, which causes adult diarrhea. Bacteria like these can cause people who handle and who drink from these coffee lids to get not only

diarrhea, but anything from a common cold to the flu, said Gerba.

Bacteria-infested objects like gloves and sponges are the most prominent danger sources, Gerba added. Sponges are used to clean counters and gloves are worn so that objects don’t make contact with employees’ hands directly. However, it’s worse when the harmful bacteria begin to grow in the sponges and on the gloves themselves, which employees and customers expect to be sanitary.

“People handle [the lids] when they give [the coffee] to you, so whatever’s on their hands they transfer onto the lids,” Gerba said. “Not everybody washes their hands, and they [bacteria] grow on the sponges and gloves.”

Erin Mullen, a pre-veterinary freshman, said she wasn’t too surprised to learn that there’s

Imagine that your friend walks into the room wearing a dark shirt.

You turn to look at him and notice something odd on his shoulder: a big tarantula peeking over at you.

You instantly warn your friend of the creature’s presence, and the danger is averted.

This situation requires your brain to do some high-level processing of shapes and meaning after a moment’s glance.

Researchers at the UA are trying to figure out what exactly goes on in the brain immediately after visual stimuli are observed.

“The question that we wanted to ask: ‘How does the visual system process the meaning of shapes when you’re not consciously aware of those shapes?’” said Jay Sanguinetti, a graduate student in the Department of Psychology and one of the authors of the study published in the journal Psychological Science.

The traditional view is that the brain isolates certain objects in the field of view and quickly works to identify and respond to those objects, largely ignoring the things in the background or along the borders of the primary objects.

The study found otherwise through an experiment designed by Sanguinetti.

In the experiment, subjects are told to look at a computer screen that periodically flashes a white shape on a black background for a fraction of a second. The subjects are told to push one button if they recognize the shape — whether it’s a cactus, a bicycle or an ice cream cone — or press another button if it is a “novel shape,” a random shape that doesn’t mean anything to them.

However, what the subjects aren’t told is that many of the novel shapes have hidden shapes along their borders. For example, the subject may be shown a courtesy image in which a novel shape is silhouetted by a meaningful one. The researchers are trying to figure out whether the subjects can perceive objects of which they aren’t consciously aware.

To find that out, Sanguinetti uses electroencephalography equipment to measure the electrical activity in the brain — namely, a spike that occurs 400 milliseconds after the stimulus is shown called N400. Sanguinetti said although it is unclear exactly what

Rec Center ranked No. 1 most impressive

BY MAGGIE DRIVER

The Daily Wildcat The UA’s Student Recreation Center was ranked the No. 1 most impressive student recreation center in the U.S. last week.

Bestvalueschools. com ranked schools’ recreation centers according to the design and eco-friendly awards they had won, in addition to their size and nontraditional amenities they offer, such as rock climbing walls.

The UA Rec Center was the only facility on the list that had earned the LEED Platinum designation from the U.S. Green Building Council.

LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is earned based on ecofriendly architectural features, with platinum being the highest possible rating.

One example of how the Rec Center is ecofriendly is the glass walls and windows around the facility that allow natural light to come in, therefore reducing the cost and use of artificial light, said John Lloyd, the associate

director of Facilities and Services for Campus Recreation.

The expansion in 2010 also helped make the facility impressive, Lloyd said, as it allowed for a two-story weight room to be added to the facility, along with other amenities.

“We’re utilizing the space we have very efficiently with the amount of equipment we have,” Lloyd said.

“Students can move around, and you don’t feel like you’re shoved in a small space.”

For students who don’t want to just work out, the Rec Center also offers intramurals and group fitness classes that help students branch out, Celaya said.

Other amenities, such as the Think Tank and Fuel Modern Eatery, make it well-rounded, she added.

Along with gaining points for its ecofriendliness and design, the Rec Center also got one “Wow” factor point for its rock climbing wall.

“We offer something for everybody,” Lloyd added. “Whether it’s hardcore fitness people … or someone who just

[wants to] hang out and play video games for a bit.”

Brittany Allen, a physiology junior, has played intramural sports at the Rec Center since the second semester of her freshman year, which is how she met many of her friends.

Allen said she didn’t know that intramural basketball was available at the Rec Center until she

walked in and decided to get involved.

“That’s what attracted me in the first place,” Allen said. “There’s just so much to do there. It’s not just machines, but the actual events that are going on.”

Samantha Celaya, a business management senior who works at the Rec Center’s front desk, credits the high rating to the 2010 Rec Center

expansion.

“Before the expansion came on, I don’t even think we would have been considered for anything,” Celaya said. “I think it’s great how much we’ve really improved within the past three years.”

unclear exactly what N400 represents, previous research seems to show that it’s the “moment in time where the brain is sort of integrating meaning” into its perception of the shape.

Due to a unique feature of the N400 spike, the team can determine whether or not the subjects are unconsciously perceiving the hidden shapes, said John Allen, distinguished professor of psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience and co-author of the paper.

Allen said that when a meaningful shape is repeated, the spike in brain activity is smaller on the second viewing, which indicates that the brain isn’t working as hard because it recently processed the shape. But when a novel shape is repeated, the N400 signature is the same in both viewings, seemingly because the brain is working equally as hard to process the foreign shape the second or third time it flashes across the screen.

So if N400 is diminished on the second viewing of an unknown shape with a hidden, known shape in its border, the researchers can conclude that the subjects are actually perceiving the silhouetted objects without being aware of it.

After analyzing the data, the team found exactly that — the subjects were unconsciously

attaching meaning to the hidden shapes.

That goes against the traditional theory that the brain selects objects based on their borders before trying to recognize what’s inside, said Mary Peterson, a professor of psychology and director of the UA cognitive science program, as well as Sanguinetti’s adviser and a co-author of the paper.

“Our research shows that the brain, whenever it has a border, is attempting to recognize objects on both sides of that border before it decides where the object lies,” Peterson said. “[The brain is also] processing the meaning of those objects.”

Peterson said that although the research probably won’t immediately lead to any practical applications, potential applications include the creation of prostheses for people with brain or eye damage or the development of “machines that see,” she said.

While the research may not have any groundbreaking applications in the near future, Sanguinetti said he appreciates the recognition that he and his team have received after two years of work.

“When you do this type of research, it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel,” he said, “so we’re ecstatic to be getting so much attention, because we put lots and lots of work into this.”

Unreported arson leads to POLICE BEAT national safety concerns

BY STEPHANIE CASANOVA The Daily Wildcat

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

NEW YORK CITY — It was one of the deadliest fires in New York City in recent years.

Guatemala-born Miguel Chan was so desperate to save his family that he threw his infant daughter out the window of his burning Brooklyn apartment. She survived; others did not.

“I lost my wife, my four friends,” Chan says of the Jan. 30, 2010, fire.

Police immediately suspected arson and three days later arrested Daniel Ignacio, a neighbor who confessed he was drunk and influenced by “demons or devils” when he set the apartment fire that killed five Guatemalans.

It was an open-and-shut case of arson to everyone — except the federal government.

Like 99 percent of New York’s arsons, the intentional fire that killed Miguel Chan’s wife and his friends was never reported into the federal database that tracks arson in America.

“This is unbelievable. Everyone knows that this was an arson,” said the Rev. Erick Salgado, pastor of Chan’s Guatemalan church who helped police make an arrest.

Just 5 percent of all residential building fires are intentionally set, according to the National Fire Incident Reporting System — or NFIRS — the world’s largest national database of annual fire incident information and part of the Department of Homeland Security.

But arson actually is much more common than is reported by the U.S. government, Scripps News found in a yearlong national investigation. Most acts of arson in America go unreported.

In all, Scripps contacted 10 fire departments in America’s largest cities to ask for case-by-case records of their arsons to compare what was reported to NFIRS against what should have been reported.

One city, Detroit, said it could not

A recent study shows that coffee cup lids carry bacteria.

THE DAILY WILDCAT

A non-UA affiliated man was arrested on a warrant for failure to appear from the Tucson Police Department on Nov. 16 at 12:57 a.m.

A Zeta Beta Tau fraternity member called the University of Arizona Police Department to report a stranger sleeping in a bedroom of the fraternity house.

Three officers went into the house and woke up the man.

The man told the officers the front door had been open so he just walked in and went to sleep. He said he knew he wasn’t allowed to be in the house but he didn’t care.

The fraternity member and the chapter adviser both said they did not want to pursue any judicial proceedings for the man’s trespassing.

A records check showed that the man had an outstanding arrest warrant from TPD. The man had also been banned from the UA in the past and UAPD had contacted him more than 30 times for trespassing, drinking in public and sleeping at the university.

The officers gave the man a new UAPD exclusionary order for one year. The man told the officer to just throw the order on the ground because that’s what he was going to do with it.

The man was handcuffed, searched and transported to Pima County Jail.

Balancing act

A UA student was cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol on Nov. 20 at 1:26 a.m. near First Street and Warren Avenue.

A UAPD officer noticed the student swaying as she walked east on First Street. The student seemed uncoordinated.

When the officer turned on his emergency lights, the student tried to walk faster, but became even more unsteady.

The officer asked the student if she was OK and noticed her eyes were red and her breath smelled like alcohol. The student denied drinking and said she was going to Delta Chi for her little.

The student then started crying and asking the officer why he was getting her in trouble. She said she wasn’t doing anything wrong and that the officer was getting her in trouble for helping her little. The student then denied being a member of a sorority.

The student was cited and released for minor in possession in the body and a code of conduct referral was completed on her behalf.

Wear it out

A UofA Bookstore staff member reported a theft from the Stone Avenue bookstore location on Thursday at around 2 p.m.

Two UAPD officers met with the bookstore staff member, who told them a man had shoplifted several items from the downtown bookstore location the day before at around 4:45 p.m.

The staff member said she greeted two men at around that time, and one of them left the store shortly while the other one stayed and browsed. She said the man who stayed started pacing faster through the store and put on a red hat and started to pick up other items around the store.

The staff member lost sight of the man when he went to a corner of the store where hoodies and sweats are on display.

When the staff member went to see if the man was ready to check out, he quickly walked out of the store without paying for any of the merchandise.

The woman said she yelled at him, but he didn’t stop.

A UA bookstore fraud prevention staff member gave the officers a surveillance video and said another video would be available later. The video showed that five items were stolen, valued at about $502.

There is no known suspect for the case and the video and a receipt were placed into property and evidence.

Party starts a day early Artists aim to make Congress crowd dance with Thanksgiving eve performances BY casey knox

Where: Hotel Congress, 311 E. Congress St. Admission: Free, 21+

“

Turntables and champagne showers typically aren’t the first things that come to mind at Thanksgiving, but a party at Club Congress aims to pre-game the holiday with exactly those things.

Starting at 8 p.m. tonight, local artists El Hanko Dinero, TrueDrew and Slim Dr. Ice Physician will be stealing the stage, ready to turn up and throw down for Congress’ HANKSGIVING. El Hanko Dinero said he draws his musical influences from futuristic, galactic sounds, 1980s break dancing music and rock ‘n’ roll, giving his crowd all the beats it needs to let go and dance.

“It’s the type of music to dance to,” he said. “We know how to pump up a party.”

El Hanko Dinero said he is looking forward to singing and performing at the ultimate dance party, coupled with laser lights and alcohol.

El Hanko Dinero said he began experimenting with sounds when he was 10 years old and has since gained the bulk of his inspiration from energy drinks and champagne.

Slim Dr. Ice Physician will be the master of ceremonies for the event.

Slim Dr. Ice Physician said he aims to bring his authentic sound to the stage of Congress.

He said he has been making music since 2001, where he first began drawing his musical influences from trap and street sounds.

“It’s straight trap music. It’s street shit,” he said. “We’re turning up to the max, popping bottles, you know, trapping up Club Congress.”

Andrew Droegemeier, also known as TrueDrew, will be claiming the stage alongside Dinero and

The classic comedy starring Steve Martin and the late John Candy. Neal Page (Martin) is trying to get home to his family in Chicago from a business trip in New York. However, bubbly traveling salesman Del Griffith (Candy) foils his planned trip home, and Page, who grows increasingly annoyed by the minute, finds himself spending a three-day journey with the very man who is the source of his anxiety.

For those unfamiliar with Martin’s earlier film work, this is one of his classics. Of particular note is a scene where the two unlikely companions are forced to share a bed in a seedy motel.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING The Daily Wildcat

If there was ever a Thanksgiving tradition in my family, it was fighting. Every year there was

so much pressure: There had to be a party, there had to be a turkey, there had to be fun. And you better have had something good to say when your turn came to answer the obligatory “What are you thankful for?” question.

Eventually, usually over the pumpkin pie, we erupted in decidedly unthankful ways and each of us ended up indulging in separate corners until we fell into a deep turkey-coma and woke up drowsy but indifferent.

One year, we were too busy to make plans. The night before, we rushed out to Trader Joe’s and picked up boxed, microwavable faux-substitutes in lieu of our normal feast. During our TVtray meal, we silently binged on a Netflix-fueled “Parks and Recreation” marathon.

And it was glorious.

I had never felt so relaxed on a holiday. I was grateful to be home and spending time with my sometimes-favorite people.

After that, I think we all realized that having a designated day to loudly appreciate each other was phony for us. We didn’t want to celebrate, we didn’t want to put on a show — that’s not how we operated.

It made us uncomfortable to conform to tradition just because it was traditional.

So now, instead, we microwave food and watch “Parks and Recreation” every Thanksgiving.

Sometimes the best way to express your gratitude is to shut up and laugh at Amy Poehler.

My family has always celebrated holidays unconventionally. On

Christmas morning, we eat Jewish coffee cake and watch “Die Hard” — the best Christmas movie — and on Thanksgiving, my parents are no more traditional.

For the past couple years, my parents have left me home alone on the sacred day of the turkey and flown to Sin City to gamble away my college fund. Apparently, airline tickets are really cheap the day everybody is supposed to be staying at home with family.

Although being abandoned by their parents on such an important American holiday might bother some people, I don’t really mind. I’m glad that my mom and dad are still active and adventurous, and this is a great opportunity for them to have some fun and “alone time.”

Back in Washington, I stay with friends and their families while my mom is off winning pumpkin pies in casinos (yes, that really did happen once). It gives me a break from my parents’ strictness and my midnight curfew and allows me to experience Thanksgiving in so many different ways.

One year, I spent the day with my friend Brittany and her wonderful Arabic family. Her mom put quirky spins on the traditional American food and served babaganoush as an appetizer, but the evening pie was

Thanksgivukkah: a hearty blend of my two favorite times of year, served best with potato latkes topped with cranberry sauce.

Some people are displeased with the overlap of both holidays, but there is no way to change the dates of either. And let us remember that Hanukkah is really only this big of a deal because of its close proximity to Christmas — for the Jewish people, Hanukkah is a minor holiday. Is it awesome and something to look forward to? Sure. Is the food fantastic? Oh, definitely. But it’s not a high holy day. Most fellow tribe members would agree that this calendar crossover is nothing to get too worked up about.

The missions of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah aren’t all that different to me. On Thanksgiving, we reminisce about what we’re thankful for. On Hanukkah, we reflect on dedication and miracles.

This Thanksgivukkah, let’s all give thanks for the miracles in our lives and how we can best dedicate ourselves to helping others realize their own miracles.

Jewish holidays are obviously Jewish, but we take advantage of holidays like Christmas too.

Someone’s got to go to the movie theater and eat Chinese food, and we’re prepared to take on that task. Thanksgiving has always been a prelude to the celebration of Hanukkah. For my family, the only thing that changes between celebrations is the type of food.

And don’t worry: there’s always food. Just make sure it’s kosher.

This year, you’ll find me finishing up dinner and heading out extra early. I’ll be starting my Black Friday Still, there is something extravaganza on Thanksgiving at 6 about a house full of food and p.m. and I plan family that warms on shopping my soul like no until 5 a.m. on When you are other day could.

Home is comfort. For me, that’s what Thanksgiving represents: a time to appreciate the people who we love.

It is the — Follow Shelby Thomas shopping season, after all, and @shelbyalayne it’s time for people to get into that mood‚ that indescribable warmth that comes only when it’s coldest outside and we feel the desire to give, materially and otherwise.

But I try to ration my exposure to traditional Christmas music — you know, the stuff you’re bound to hear in shopping centers and on KOOL FM radio up in Phoenix.

BY ASHLEY POWELL The Daily Wildcat As charming as it is, I can only take so much of José Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad.”

The music I listen to tends to reflect whatever is going on around me, and for the past few years, Low’s Christmas, released in 1999, has been the go-to source for my Christmas-time listening Don’t get me wrong: needs. While it contains some I love eating so much that I have Christmas classics, it’s far from to unbutton my pants as much as the next guy.

still emphasized as the most important part of the meal. Her family was loud, boisterous and loving; by the end of the day I truly felt like a part of their home.

Brittany’s aunt even tried to set me up with her son.

Even though I declined, I was touched by the generosity and openness of their family. It was truly a memorable Thanksgiving experience, one that I believed emphasized what this holiday is all about. When you are willing to open your home to someone left alone for the holiday, you know you’re doing Thanksgiving right.

I’ve always believed it is most appropriate to start listening to Christmas music around Thanksgiving.

It’s safe to say that for most people, Thanksgiving is all about feasting and leftovers.

traditional in its approach. The highlight for me is its take on “The Little Drummer Boy,” which drones on as the vocals haunt us from (it feels like) somewhere far away. There’s more heart in Low’s lullaby-esque “Silent Night” than the rest of what you will probably hear throughout the season. The deceptively upbeat “Just Like Christmas” opens the album, setting the stage for a more conflicted holiday experience than we’re accustomed to hearing about.

So Thanksgiving, to me, is the real beginning of Christmas music, and Christmas music, to me, has been defined by Low’s Christmas, with all its melancholy and contradictions.

Not everything has to be merry, after all.

BY KALLI RICKA WOLF The Daily Wildcat

Ah, time:

Thanksgiving

The warmth of family, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and National Dog Show, the mashed potato volcano, the tofurkey — it’s my favorite holiday. Celebrating the holiday as a vegetarian may anger my mother, who has to make vegetarian gravy especially for me, but it’s my favorite home-cooked meal of the year.

Not quite as stressful and costly as Christmas, but with all the benefits of the family get-together, Thanksgiving never fails to stuff me until the point of passing out on the couch (even if my tofurkey is sans tryptophan).

My older brother will undoubtedly try to sneak turkey onto my plate, demand I break the wishbone with him or shove the turkey giblets in my face.

My mother will cook the most delicious meal of the year as my father watches the football game and I am put on potato-peeling duty. Eventually, we will gather around the table, toast with a glass of wine and share our thanks.

So, what am I thankful for this year? The UA and the opportunities it presents me, my friends — my source of sanity all throughout the stress of school — and lastly, my family, for always supporting me.

Happy Thanksgiving, UA. — Follow Kalli Ricka Wolf @kalli3wolf

RYAN REVOCK/THE DAILY WILDCAT

LOCAL STUDENTS fill McKale Center at the UA vs. Wake Forest women’s basketball game on Tuesday. Wake Forest defeated the Wildcats 70-58.

BY ROBERTO PAYNE

The Daily Wildcat Poor offense once again doomed the Arizona women’s basketball team, as it was defeated 70-58 by Wake Forest on Tuesday in front of the largest home crowd of the season.

The Wildcats (1-5) struggled to put up points against the Demon Deacons (4-2) in front of 4,487.

Fans flocked to McKale Center yesterday for Field Trip Day and, according to a press release, an estimated 3,400 children from Tucson schools were in attendance. However, the kids likely left unsatisfied, as the Wildcats are off to their worst six-game start in the six years UA head coach Niya Butts has coached the team.

“We had a great crowd on hand,” Butts said. “We just didn’t have enough to get it done today.”

From the onset, the Wildcats struggled to consistently score points, as they started by converting 3-17 field goals in the first 12 minutes of the game. The UA went on to shoot a lackluster 21.4 percent

from the field in the first half and 28.8 percent for the game.

The Wildcats didn’t score for the first four and a half minutes of the game, until freshman forward Breanna Workman converted a layup with 15:26 left in the first half.

Junior guard Candice Warthen came in leading the team in scoring at 17.4 points per game, but could not find her shooting stroke in this one. Warthen finished with nine points on 3-20 shooting from the field, including going 0-9 and scoring only one point in the first half.

“It’s never anything that the other team is doing,” Warthen said. “We’re making our own mistakes, digging our own holes.”

Key scorers senior Chelsea Douglas and junior Dearica Hamby led the charge for the Demon Deacons, as Douglas scored a game-high 22 points, including five three-pointers, and Hamby finished with a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds. Hamby controlled the paint both offensively and defensively as Wake Forest outscored Arizona 38-14 in points in the paint and outrebounded Arizona 41-39.

For Arizona, turnovers prevented the

team from closing in on the lead. The Wildcats committed 16 turnovers on the night and Wake Forest capitalized by scoring 22 points off those turnovers.

One bright spot for the Wildcats was the performance of senior forward Erica Barnes, who played in her first home game of the season. Barnes played 29 minutes off the bench and contributed 15 points on 3-6 shooting from the field and 9-10 shooting from the free throw line.

“Hopefully I’ll get back in the starting lineup,” Barnes said. “If not, I can’t dwell on it, and I just have to continue to do my job.”

Arizona has a couple days of practice this week before hitting the road to play BYU in Provo, Utah, on Saturday at 2 p.m.

MST. Butts said the team will be ready to play come Saturday.

“They’re [BYU] always a pretty good team, a well-coached bunch,” Butts said.

“They’re going to be disciplined, so we have to play smart defensively and make plays offensively.”

important game on our schedule,” Denker said.

The rivalry is even more intense for Arizona natives like Tevis and junior running back Ka’Deem Carey, who are from Tucson, and senior linebacker Jake Fischer, who is from Oro Valley, Ariz.

“I really hated these dudes,” Tevis said. “My sister ended up going there — she’s a traitor [laughs] — and I have some buddies that go there, so that kind of amplifies it even more because they like talking trash. And so we have to make sure that they don’t have anything to talk about.”

Rodriguez said sometimes the rivalries go “over the top,” but that most of it is all in good fun.

“To me, what makes college football so exciting is the rivalry games, because people are so passionate,” Rodriguez said. “You may say there’s some kind of rivalries like that in the NFL, but I don’t think it’s the same intensity that there is in college.”

The Daily Wildcat Earlier this week, head coach Andy Lopez announced that 17 student-athletes have signed National Letters of Intent, binding them to Arizona’s baseball program upon their completion of high school if they don’t enter the professional ranks.

The signings represent one of the Wildcats’ most highly regarded classes in program history and comprises three top-100 players: Michael Kopech, Darius Day and Cole Tucker.

Arizona’s signing class is ranked No. 11 in the nation by Perfect Game USA and includes two catchers, 10 pitchers and five players in other positions. Signees hail from seven different states, with seven from California, three from Arizona, two apiece from Louisiana and Texas, and one each from Illinois, Hawaii and Pennsylvania.

Kopech, a right-handed pitcher and Mount Pleasant, Texas native, is currently ranked as the No. 35 high school prospect in the country by Baseball America and has participated in the Perfect Game All-American Classic and the Under Armour All-American Game. He was additionally tabbed as the third-best player in Texas by Perfect Game.

Day is an outfielder from Chicago and was named the No. 2 player in the state by Perfect Game. According to Perfect Game, the 5-foot-11, 180-pound slugger possesses

19 to reach the semifinals of the NIT wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the performance of sophomore sixthman Tavon Allen. The non-starter scored 21 points against the Scarlet Knights, 16 of which came in the second half.

In the Dragons’ first-round game against Elon, Allen added 15 points, once again off the bench.

This wouldn’t be a Drexel or Bruiser Flint squad if it wasn’t tough and

big power and a smooth swing, has clocked a 94 mph throw from the outfield and has compiled a 6.52 second 60-yard dash.

Tucker, who is from Phoenix, will enter his senior season at Mountain Pointe High School ranked as the secondbest player in the state. The 6-foot-3, 175-pound shortstop helped Team USA 18U to a gold medal finish in Taiwan at the IBAF World Cup and will be expected to contribute depth to the Wildcats’ defense with his strong arm. The recruiting class is deep in pitching, Lopez said.

“This a marvelous recruiting class. It is a deep and talented group of players that we are excited to bring into our program next year,” Lopez said. “Our fans should be excited for the future, and I know each of these players will represent the standards of our program both on and off the field.”

Lopez added that Arizona was able to acquire a prestigious class due to an all-around group effort between Arizona’s coaching staff.

“I give credit to Shaun Cole and Matt Siegel on our coaching staff. They put in a lot of hard work the last couple of years building the relationships with these players and their families,” Lopez said. “We have one of the best facilities in the nation to recruit to, and our fans have been outstanding at Hi Corbett Field. We feel like we can go after the best players in the country each year.”

defensively minded. The Dragons will have some matchup issues for Arizona, most notably in the backcourt with their long size. But the Wildcats’ athleticism should combat Drexel’s size, especially in transition.

With the upset of No. 6 seed Elon in the NIT Season Tip-Off on Nov. 18, Flint became the winningest coach in Drexel history, but he has seen his team struggle this season by allowing opposing teams back into the game.

In three of its four games so far this season, Drexel has led at halftime but played less impressively in the second

half.

In their only loss on the season, the Dragons opened the season at then-No. 22 UCLA. A strong second half actually brought the Dragons back into the game, but they ended up falling just short of winning, 72-67.

The Wildcats could potentially play No. 6 Duke for the championship, but that’s two games away. For now, Arizona’s focus should be on the Dragons, not the Blue Devils.

Even if the Wildcats play flawlessly, the Sun Devils will need to make errors in order for Arizona to win.

LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT

It’s simple: for the Wildcats to win, they need to play like they did against Oregon.

Senior quarterback B.J. Denker had the performance of his career last Saturday. He completed 19 of 22 passes. Two touchdowns, no interceptions. It was the performance Arizona fans were waiting for.

All-American running back Ka’Deem Carey had a recordbreaking afternoon. After rushing 206 yards, he became Arizona’s all-time rushing leader. After four touchdowns, he set the school record with 49 career touchdowns.

Those players who had the game of their lives will have to repeat their performances in Sun Devil Stadium.

three-and-out possessions. If he can’t tire out the Sun Devils’ 19th ranked defense and the Wildcats’ offense stalls, Arizona will quickly fall behind.

Fear the spork

Similar to the eating utensil the spork, what makes ASU so dangerous is how versatile it is on both offense and defense. While they don’t do anything amazing, the Sun Devils cover most, if not all, facets of the game better than Arizona, most notably on defense.

The only food that can beat a spork is one that is tough and cold at its core. It has to be impossible to cut.

And the core of every offense is its offensive line. If Arizona’s offensive plays weak, doesn’t open holes and is soft, the Sun Devils’ defense will slice through it.

ARIZONA SEEKS TERRITORIAL CUP

BY JAMES KELLEY

The Daily Wildcat Just in case you’re wondering, Arizona football head coach Rich Rodriguez doesn’t need a reminder that he’s winless against ASU. While the Wildcats went 8-5 in his first season and won a bowl game, for many fans, Arizona’s loss to its hated rival tainted the season.

Rodriguez hopes to put that behind him on Saturday.

“I heard it a bunch of times. ‘Oh, really?

That’s a great revelation; I didn’t know that,’” Rodriguez said about being reminded of the loss to ASU. “‘Thanks for reminding me. Next person.’”

Arizona (7-4, 4-4 Pac-12) will travel to No. 12 ASU (9-2, 7-1) to try to win back the

Territorial Cup on Saturday.

Senior quarterback B.J. Denker, who is from Southern California, didn’t grow up with the rivalry, but he said it didn’t take him long to understand it.

“Once you get here, you learn quickly what this game means and how important it is,” Denker said. “On my official visit here, I was taught what ‘bear down’ was and why we don’t like ‘that school up north.’”

Even though freshman receiver Nate Phillips was not on the team last year, he saw the Wildcats lose and is motivated to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

“I have seen and heard stories about the games and how legendary they are,” Phillips said. “I came to the one last year. Unfortunately, we lost, but this year, we

are going to go out there and try to change that.”

The Territorial Cup game is named after the oldest trophy in college football.

This is the first time since 1986 that both teams have entered the game with at least seven wins.

“There’s definitely a little more jawing and more intensity,” junior safety Jared Tevis said. “You can tell how much it means to each player and how strong this rivalry is. It’s definitely a fun environment, though.”

Starting with Arizona’s win in Tempe, Ariz. in 2009, the road team has won every game in the series.

Last season, ASU upset No. 24 Arizona 41-34, as

SCORE EARLY

DEFENSE LEFT IN TUCSON

The Wildcats have proven all season that in order to win, they must score early, and they must get ahead early.

In every one of their losses this season, they’ve started slow.

They’ve gotten behind by a couple touchdowns. History shows that when they’re behind, they can’t come back (see: Washington State).

This week will be no exception. If Arizona comes out of the gate strong and scores early, it has a chance of winning. The Wildcats have to gain a lead early if they want to beat the Sun Devils on their turf.

Last week, Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said the Ducks needed to help the Wildcats win — they needed to fumble, and they needed to throw picks.

That’s exactly what Oregon did.

ASU will be the same.

The Sun Devils are coming off a huge win at UCLA, when they became the Pac-12 South Champs. At home, they are 6-0 with an average margin of victory of 26.8 points per game.

The Sun Devils are no joke at home.

the Wildcats blew a 10-point fourth quarter lead.

“It hurt a lot,” Tevis said. “ASU is always a game we want to win. It definitely still stings a little bit, so we are trying to change that this year and get that cup back this year.”

If ASU, which lost 42-28 at Stanford, wins, it hosts the Pac-12 Championship game against the Cardinal. A win for Arizona can improve its bowl.

“I could care less what they’re playing for,” Rodriguez said. “We’re trying to improve our bowl status and it’s our last regular season game, but in and of itself, it’s the ASU game.

It’s one of the biggest rivalries in college sports.”

The Wildcats lead the all-time series 4738-1. The first meeting was 114 years ago, on Nov. 30, 1899.

If Arizona thinks it can win a shootout versus its rival, the team might as well not even show up. The Sun Devils average 41.9 points per game, the 11th most in the country.

The Wildcats are 40th with 33.8.

The UA held Oregon, which currently averages 47.7 points per contest (fourth), to just 16 points last week because of three turnovers and two failed fourth down attempts by the Ducks.

Arizona doesn’t need to convert a turnover on the first play from scrimmage as it did against Oregon, but it needs to control or at least contain the momentum in the first half with turnovers.

DENKER PEAKED

Wildcats quarterback B.J. Denker had the greatest start of his career against the Ducks. Denker was efficient and effective, completing 19 of 22 attempts and constantly picking up first downs, keeping the Arizona offense moving.

For Arizona’s sake, it better hope Denker has another strong performance in him and that it’s not all downhill from here. It needs the senior to be on top of his game. The Wildcats won’t win if running back Ka’Deem Carey has to carry the team on his back.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Wildcats face Drexel in NIT semifinal

BY LUKE DELLA

The Daily Wildcat As the No. 4 Wildcats (5-0) play in the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off in New York City, sharpshooting Drexel should be the only thing on their minds.

Looming on Friday is a potential championship game match-up with No. 6 ranked — and preseason NIT No. 2 seed — Duke for the topseeded Wildcats, but the Dragons come first.

In the 2011-12 season, Drexel (3-1) won the Colonial Athletic Association regular season title, but fell just short of receiving an atlarge bid to the NCAA tournament.

The Dragons were one of the nation’s best three-point shooting

teams, making just under 40 percent of their long-range attempts.

However, despite returning its top three-point shooters, Drexel saw its three-point percentage drop to 33 percent last season, to go along with being with one of least efficient schools in the CAA conference.

Injuries were the leading cause of its troubles, and the poor outside shooting couldn’t cover that up.

Lucky for Dragons head coach James “Bruiser” Flint, his top threepoint shooters from 2011-12 are still on the roster.

Point guard Frantz Massenat had 120 three-point attempts two seasons ago, converting an incredible 45 percent of those

attempts. With key injuries last season, Massenat saw his percentage drop to 32 percent while shooting more long-distance attempts than the season prior.

Fellow guards Chris Fouch and junior Damion Lee are the other three-point threats on the Dragons’ roster.

Fouch missed nearly all of the 2012-13 season with a severe ankle injury. In 2011-12, Fouch made 36 percent of his 178 three point attempts.

Lee missed a couple games last season but has been a consistent 36 to 37 percent three-point shooter since arriving in Philadelphia.

All this being said, Drexel’s 7059 upset win over Rutgers on Nov.

Who are the Drexel Dragons?

Player to Watch For

Sophomore Tavon Allen has been huge for the Dragons off the bench. Similar to Arizona’s Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, at 6-foot-7, Allen is lengthy and has made an impact for Drexel every time he’s come into the game.

The ambidextrous Allen is averaging 22.5 minutes off the bench and is making 50 percent of his field goals. He will be an interesting matchup for Arizona’s Aaron Gordon and Hollis-Jefferson.
