New honors dean aims to improve program

BY NICK MEYERS @nickmeyers214

The Honors College’s new dean has lofty goals for the program, but that’s okay; he already has experience moving mountains.

Dr. Terry Hunt is an archaeologist with more than 30 years’ experience in the Pacific Islands, especially Rapa Nui — better known as Easter Island — where he was part of the team that discovered how the islanders moved the famous giant heads.

But aside from his tropical tromps, Hunt has led the University of Oregon honors college since 2013. Before that, he taught at the University of Hawaii for 25 years and served as director of the honors program for three of them.

“Honors college students, to put

it simply, just make me happy,” he said. “They’re so successful, they’re bright, they’re motivated and that’s why we do our job.”

Hunt comes to the UA for the opportunity to launch the Honors College to new heights.

He sees room for improvement at the college, and looks forward to implementing the work already done by the Honors ReEnvisioning Task Force.

“The first thing for me will be to really listen and find out as much as I can about the place of honors at the UA for students, for faculty and staff,” Hunt said. “I want to learn as much as I can.”

Hunt will draw on his experience as an archaeologist, a role which he said prepared him for working in a team where people learn and discover together. With that

/DAILYWILDCAT

mindset, he hopes to utilize UA’s resources to make the college one of the best programs in the country.

“Given Arizona’s standing as a great university, the Honors College should be top-ranked in the country and really be a leader in honors education,” he said. “If I have a goal, that’s the goal.”

Coming from an alreadyrenowned honors college in Oregon, Hunt knows what a great honors college looks like. UO’s Robert D. Clark Honors College is ranked in the top 10 by the Public University Press, which publishes annual reviews of public colleges.

Now, Hunt is encouraged by the prospect of having the freedom to improve the UA’s program.

“Arizona has the will to be the best it can be and the courage to actually try something new or

@DAILYWILDCAT

different depending on what we all decide together,” he said.

Hunt’s bottom line is still the students. In addition to his role as dean, he’s also looking to spend some time with in the classroom.

“I love teaching; they can’t keep me out of the classroom,” he said.

“I’m not really supposed to teach, but I do. The days that I teach a class, the days that I meet with students, are days that are most rewarding to me.”

Hunt will assume his new position in September. For honors students, Hunt has some advice to succeed as the program grows.

“Work your absolute hardest; do your very best work and then do more of it.” he said. “Keep striving to be the best you can be and you’ll be surprised at the things you can accomplish.”

University tries to balance campus nutrition

BY EDDIE CELAYA @DailyWildcat

For many students, the Student Union Memorial Center and Park Student Union are more than just places to eat.

They’re the only places to eat.

This is where Christine Carlson, assistant director of nutrition, comes in.

Hired in summer 2014, Carlson is responsible for coordinating with UA-branded restaurants and vendors to integrate healthy items and practices. She also helps educate students about healthy eating and evidence-based nutrition.

“My role is collaborative with our senior executive chef,” she said. “Generally, with in-house concepts I offer suggestions of how to make the menu more nutrient-dense, including suggestions of specific foods or products.”

Recently, the university launched a campaign aimed at encouraging students to be health conscious. Known as “Nrich,” the new philosophy will govern how and what UA-branded restaurants and vendors serve students.

Along with Nrich, the UA is also one of 38 institutions participating in Partnership for a Healthier America’s Healthier Campus Initiative. Both moves have enabled the university to tout itself as being at the forefront of promoting student health and wellbeing.

At the retail level, that means the addition of UA-made and branded CHAMP grab-n-go items, yogurt based dressings and fresh pressed juices at some restaurants. This also includes

NRICH URBAN MARKET OFFERS healthy eating options in the Student Union Memorial Center. The menu includes fresh juice, nut butters, frozen treats and many others.

ensuring a certain number of healthy options per menu, including plant-based meals.

The new PHA-HCI guidelines call for a limit on fried options.

The guidelines stipulate that five fruits, five vegetables and two whole grain products must be available for every meal.

Still, with the recent addition of Indianapolis-based hamburger stand Steak ‘n Shake to the Student Union Memorial Center, some students are disappointed with what they perceive to be a lack of available healthy dining options.

According to guidelines set

on the university-run PHA-HCI homepage, university-branded dining establishments are to “provide healthier food and beverage services in campusoperated dining venues every operational day.”

Matt Lubisich, ASUA president, said he believes students are looking for healthy options, and hopes the university will increase the number available to students.

“I plan to advocate for healthier options,” he said.

“Because students want the best healthiest food for the best price.”

Women’s and Gender Studies junior Stefano Saltalamacchia, also a certified personal trainer, was skeptical of the addition of Steak ‘n Shake in the face of the UA’s proposed initiatives.

“If the university is trying to promote a healthier diet, it seems like they are going in the opposite direction,” he said.

However, Carlson noted Steak ‘n Shake is fundamentally different from UA-branded restaurants. Since it’s a thirdparty vendor, the university is not involved in Steak ‘n Shake menus.

Lubisich and Saltalamacchia

agreed that the addition of Steak ‘n Shake, which will replace Burger King, was not the ideal healthy choice.

“It’s nothing against the vendor, that’s what they do,” Saltalamacchia said. “It’s an issue of decision making: Were there healthier options?”

Lubisich noted that the UA’s newest restaurant, also conveniently (or confusingly) named Nrich Urban Market, seemed to be a good-faith effort by the university to offer students healthier choices. He called the recent opening a step in the right direction.

But Saltalamacchia felt the university could do more.

“It’s interesting, look at the size in square footage of the healthy eating establishments,” he said. “There is just this little corner when you compare it to the footprint of eating establishments on campus.”

Carlson said the university is working to provide healthier meal options across the board.

As evidence, she cited an example of a healthy meal from each UA-branded restaurant.

Among them: An egg-white omelet with vegetable options at Cactus Grill, fruit-whips, salads and whole-grain wraps from IQ Fresh and a carving station that includes lean meats and roasted vegetables at The Arizona Room.

More than anything, Carlson sees her job as one of advocacy, first for a healthier lifestyle and second for student access to healthy food.

“I am actively working to make the offerings in our in-house restaurants more nutrient-dense and delicious,” she said.

Details emerge surrounding Henderson murder

BY NOLAN HICKS AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN (TNS)

A week ago, 22-year-old Bakari Henderson, was beaten to death outside of a bar in Greece, thousands of miles from home.

Since that terrible day, his aunt, Jan Richardson has been the family’s liaison to the world as her family attempts to process the horror. Each day adds a measure of finality.

A memorial service for Henderson was held Friday, and the funeral Saturday was closed to the media.

Each day, the criminal investigation into Henderson’s killing in Greece grinds forward in halting fashion.

“It’s a traumatizing situation,” Richardson said. “You just try to move through day-to-day, trying to get done what needs to be done.”

Greek police have identified nine suspects in the case so far. All have been charged with intentional homicide, which is punishable by life in prison.

After a series of delays, a Greek judge remanded six of the men to await trial in prison, while granting bail for two. Their bond was set at $5,700 apiece. A hearing for the ninth is scheduled for Saturday. Of the nine arrested, eight have ties to Serbia.

When the actual trial might begin is unclear.

The Greek justice system is notoriously slow and the suspects can be held for up to 18 months,

leaving Henderson’s family searching for answers with little clarity on when they might come.

However, the bail hearings produced surveillance camera footage from outside of the bar that shed light on the last moments of the fight that left Henderson fatally wounded, largely confirming accounts offered by Greek police and local media about how the attack ended.

Greek police told The Washington Post that the July 7 confrontation on the picturesque island of Zakynthos began around 3 a.m., when Henderson attempted to take a selfie with a waitress inside a bar in the tourist village of Laganas. The situation quickly escalated into a fight involving other customers and two bar employees.

One of the suspects, a 33-year-old Serb, got in an argument with the waitress over the selfie and hit Henderson, who then smashed a beer bottle on the other customer’s table, Greek police spokesman Theodore Chronopoulos told the Post.

Unidentified authorities in Athens told The New York Times their investigation and witness accounts suggested the dispute centered around a waitress, but made no mention of a selfie. The Times report added that Henderson and his friends were attempting to leave the bar, but the suspects followed them out and attacked them in the middle of the busy street.

Another account, citing local Greek media, reported that the trouble began after Henderson

ESPRESSO BAKERY EATERY CATERING FREE WIFI LOCAL ART GALLERY EST. 1994

set two beers on a table occupied by the Serbs.

A security camera captured the rest. Ten to 15 men chased Henderson outside the bar and immediately caught him. One man tackled Henderson and threw him against a parked car. Others then joined in the assault. Some attempted to stop the beating, and eventually did, but not before Henderson sustained the head injuries that would cost him his life.

“He just stood out,” said Sondra Johnson, whose son grew up with Henderson. “He was a very determined person.”

Henderson’s trip to the tourist-friendly island was part celebration of his recent graduation from the University of Arizona and part business.

He had long dreamed of starting his own clothing line. The cliffs, beaches and clear waters of Zakynthos would provide the backdrop for the photo shoot that was supposed to help launch it.

It was a jarring end to a life that left many people in Austin deeply impressed by his determination.

Friends, mentors, coaches, classmates and neighbors remembered Henderson as an ambitious young man who could have been anything. He was a standout basketball player in high school, a college student who interned in both the Texas House and Senate at the same time, and a young professional attempting to start his dream business.

“He was very driven, definitely very interested in being a success, very smart and very popular,”

Denise Davis, a former chief of staff to House Speaker Joe Straus, told the American-Statesman this week. “I always wondered how he managed to be an athlete and be so bright academically.”

In a Facebook post, Henderson’s friend Daniel Brown said that his new life motto is “BLB,” or “Be Like Bakari.”

“I’ll tell myself that every morning as a constant reminder to stay humble, pursue my dreams and never get rattled by the little things life has to throw my way,” Brown wrote.

The support for Henderson’s family from the community has been financial as well. One GoFundMe page set up to help cover the costs of bringing Bakari’s body back to the United States and his funeral has raised nearly $70,000 as of Friday afternoon. The State Department doesn’t have funds to help families of U.S. citizens who die abroad bring their bodies home.

A second GoFundMe page, established to help cover possible legal expenses in Greece, has raised almost $28,000.

In 2011, the fatal stabbing of a British tourist on the same Greek island, Zakynthos, brought both emotional and financial hardship to the parents of the teenager, according to the U.K. newspaper Basingstoke Gazette.

The parents of the 18-year-old, Robert Sebbage, told the BBC that the years of court cases that followed cost the family thousands of dollars that they would “be working forever to pay for.”

NEWS FAST FIVE: Russia Investigations

BY RANDALL ECK @reck999

Since before his inauguration, President Donald Trump’s administration has been embroiled in scandal.

His campaign’s contacts with Russia, Russia’s efforts to help elect Trump to the presidency and Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey have all ensured Russia will stay in both the news and the halls of the capital and the public conscious for the duration of

his term.

With developments arriving week after week, here are the top five things you need to know about the Russia investigations, as well as the background you need to stay informed:

There are six different investigations into Russia’s involvement Six separate government investigations continue to pry into Russian interference during the 2016 presidential election.

1

OLIVIER DOULIERY/ABACA PRESS

Not every investigation is asking the same questions, but they all focus on five major concerns with legal and national security implications. First is Russia’s efforts to influence the election. A report released by 17 U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that Russia, on the orders of President Vladimir Putin, hacked Democratic and Republican targets to undermine trust in U.S. institutions, as well as to help elect Donald Trump to the presidency.

Then there is former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn; The official resigned after 23 days once it came to light that he lied

to Vice President Mike Pence about his contact with former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the campaign. Flynn has since registered as a foreign agent due to his paid consulting work for a Turkish businessman.

Next up are the Comey memos. The memos show an effort by Trump to weaken the independence of the FBI, which culminated in the firing of Comey.

Another focus is the collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Multiple Trump associates have lied about their contact with Russian officials during the 2016

presidential campaign, most recently Donald Trump Jr. Alone, the legality of such contact is ambiguous, but they have prompted questions of whether the Trump campaign illegally colluded to effect a hostile foreign power to undermine the election.

Finally, there is the leaking of classified information, which have helped fuel the Russia investigations. The Trump administration and many Republicans have expressed grave concern over these continued leaks and a desire to stop them by punishing those responsible.

Four congressional committees are investigating Russia The Senate Intelligence Committee focuses on Comey’s firing, Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ contact with Russian officials and Trump’s disclosure of classified information to Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov.

The Senate Judiciary subcommittee on crime and terrorism investigates the prevention and deterrence of foreign interference in future U.S. elections, and is also involved in the Justice

Department’s investigation of Flynn.

The House Intelligence Committee looks at Russia generating fake news during the election and decides how the U.S. government should respond to Russia’s interference in the election.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee doesn’t focus on a one aspect, but the investigation as a whole.

In addition to the congressional committees,

the FBI and Justice Department also investigate.

The Justice Department is conducting their own independent investigation, led by special counsel and former FBI director Robert Mueller III. Mueller was appointed as special counsel after Trump fired Comey over his agency’s investigation.

OLIVIER DOULIERY/ABACA PRESS

None of the investigations have released a report yet

OLIVIER DOULIERY/ABACA PRESS

The FBI and Justice Department are conducting their investigations independently and privately.

The Congressional investigations have hosted a series of public hearings, but have also scheduled several closed-door meetings.

So far, excluding leaks to the media, the only window the public has into the official

investigations is through these public hearings, which have revealed that Sessions lied about his contact with Russian officials during his Senate confirmation hearing.

They have also revealed that Trump asked for Comey’s loyalty, and for him to cease the FBI’s investigation into Flynn before firing him.

Former acting attorney general Sally

Many in Trump’s camp could be found in violation of the law If members of the Trump campaign solicited, accepted or received any valuable information or help from a foreign national or government during the election, they would be in violation of federal campaign law.

Additionally, Trump associates who

lie or have lied under oath about their contacts with Russian officials during the election could be charged with perjury.

After Trump fired Comey, a move Trump admitted was because of the FBI’s Russian investigation,

some experts believe the House of Representatives could introduce articles of impeachment on the grounds of obstruction of justice.

Flynn could face implications for failing to register as a foreign agent during the campaign.

Yates, among others, have already testified to these committees, and subpoenas are continually issued to members of the Trump administration.

These hearings seek information on the nature of contact with Russian officials during the election and who in the campaign was aware of these events.

TOM WILLIAMS/CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY/ NEWSCOM/ZUMA PRESS

Russia’s efforts undermine the American people

POLITIC

The Obama administration waited until after the election to retaliate against Russia for meddling in the election.

The problem is that having a hostile foreign power undermine the sanctity of a democratic election threatens the core values of the U.S.

Already, Russia’s efforts demonstrate success in efforts to undermine trust in U.S. institutions.

America’s international influence, national security and democracy cannot remain secure if the right to vote is

manipulated by enemies abroad.

The aforementioned investigations communicate in their public mission statements that their primary goal is to seek the truth in the interests of the American public.

Does Snap Map push the boundaries of privacy?

BY AURORA BEGAY @aurorabegay

S

napchat’s latest update, Snap Map, introduced snappers to a new feature: a map that allows users to see the exact location of their friends and family.

This addition immediately received backlash from the public regarding its safety and purpose.

As soon as this feature came out, there was a heightened sense of concern. People said that it’s a gateway for pedophiles and rapists to find their next target. Despite the worries surrounding Snap Map, I’m here to tell you it’s not as scary as people are making it sound.

Snapchat users have two options to keep their locations private.

A snapper can set their location to “ghost mode,” which prevents other users from seeing where you’re located.

I don’t believe you can really claim it’s unsafe when you are able to hide your location.

Along with ghost mode, users can also choose the people who do get to see their location and block anyone they want to keep out. This way, close friends can see where each other are in case of emergencies, and maybe make sure a friend made it home safe.

Everyone is acting like the concept behind Snap Map is a new thing. Other social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have options for users to include a tag with their current location. Who knows, maybe Instagram will copy Snap

SELENA QUINTANILLA/THE DAILY WILDCAT

SNAPCHAT’S RECENTLY INSTALLED SNAP Map feature has solicited controversial reactions from users. The update allows users to see the exact locations of other people on the app, as well as locations of local and regional events using geocoding.

Map since they followed its lead in the past with the stories feature.

Snapchat has already had geolocation filters for certain locations available. Most people are constantly letting their friends and family know where they are, whether it be at the zoo or at the mall.

There are many ways in which we constantly share our surroundings, whether we know it or not.

If people aren’t sure they want a certain someone to see their location, then why do they have them as a “friend” on social media? I understand there are those people who you want to follow because you like something about them, but if you feel that they’re shady, then is engaging with their social media such a good thing?

It’s all about being smart with social media. Have you seen the show Catfish? Don’t just

add people you think are really attractive — you never really know who these strangers are.

You don’t really want some random person you met online to see where you live, do you?

I know that safety is important, and Snap Map offers that. As college students, we should be smart enough to know who we can and can’t trust.

I’m a private person. When I saw the new Snapchat update, I made sure that I put my location

setting to ghost mode. I tried the selective friend option, but I still prefer for my bitmoji to be private. The only time I let people “see” my location is through the geolocation filters.

The new Snap Map feature isn’t as dangerous as it seems.

It has privacy settings that can make parents and users feel safe. Just be smart about it and make sure you set to the preferences you are comfortable with.

Internet must remain open for everyone

BY ANDREW PAXTON @Andrew_AzP

W

ith the Federal Communication Commission’s public comment period on net neutrality officially closed, the world now waits to see how the Trump administration will react to millions of people, as well as tech giants and digital rights advocates, demanding the internet remain open and free.

The internet, with all of its unlimited, nearly unfathomable potential, is far too powerful and vital to trust in the hands of a few corporations that already control so much of how information is accessed and used.

For months, everyone from the Electronic Frontier Foundation to John Oliver have been raising awareness on net neutrality, which, without getting too technical, essentially means that internet service providers like Verizon and Cox can’t charge more to promote certain content, block websites, etc.

The controversy stems back a few years. It involves a recategorization of internet regulation under the Obama administration, a lawsuit by Verizon against the government and the appointment of a new FCC head who is anti-regulation and, coincidentally enough, was once a lawyer for Verizon.

In other words, it’s a big mess. It boils down to whether the public wants private companies to have control over the internet and how it’s accessed, or whether the internet is regarded as a public utility, like water or telephones, that need government oversight.

Without that oversight, it’s easy to imagine a world where ISPs (internet service providers) block students from research materials they find offensive, news stories on topics that might be unfavorable to investors or completely shut out content from competitors altogether.

Naysayers contend that would never happen, but in a dog-eat-dog tech world where proprietary information is protected with countless safeguards and corporate espionage is commonplace, only the truly naive believe that some companies wouldn’t do anything to increase profits.

Plus, if these huge corporations are already supporting an open internet, as many claim, there is no reason they should

fear government oversight to ensure they are delivering the best available product to their customers at the best possible price.

According to a recent poll by Freedman Consulting, net neutrality enjoys more than 75 percent approval ratings from across the political spectrum, but ISPs have spent hundreds of millions lobbying for relaxed regulations, which they argue hurt investments and competition.

However, small and mid-sized ISPs argue there is already little competition, and here in Tucson customers know they don’t have many options when it comes to internet service. Letting big corporations write their own rules wouldn’t change that.

And about that hurt business? Comcast earned $2.3 billion in net profits in the last three months of 2016, a 16.5 percent bump from 2015, according to the company. Verizon said it had a decrease, but still made $4.5 billion in net profits and retained its top spot in the wireless market.

With large ISPs making billions in profits every year, the argument that they need less regulation in order to be profitable or spurn investment is downright laughable.

The current rules governing net neutrality fall under the 1934 Communications Act, an era when technologies like the internet and wireless communication could not be foreseen by those writing the guidelines.

The ideal solution would be to draft completely new laws, with all parties taking a seat at the table and agreeing to rules that are workable to ISPs and tech companies while, most importantly, best serving the public.

But with the FCC hamstrung by the 2014 Supreme Court ruling and an ineffectual Congress currently unable to pass any sort of meaningful legislation, the onus lies with the FCC, for now, to determine how the internet will be governed.

FCC chair Ajit Pai should heed the call from millions of internet users, companies including Google, Twitter and Facebook, and free speech advocates around the country. Keep the current net neutrality rules in place, at least until a better solution can be reached.

If Pai allows ISPs to make their own rules on how the public can access information, he will open the gates for corporations to place profits ahead of the free flow of ideas, expression and knowledge. The internet is too important to allow this to happen.

Trump Jr.’s meeting, ‘That’s politics’? Hardly

BY THE BALTIMORE SUN EDITORIAL BOARD (TNS)

T

he Trump White House tried to divert attention from scandals to its policy agenda by declaring a “Made in America Week.” But with critics quickly pointing out the frequency with which Trump-branded products are produced overseas and foreign steel used to construct Trump buildings, President Donald Trump did what he does best: change the subject to something that makes him look even worse.

While internet wiseacres were spending the weekend busily tweeting out images of Trump products with “Made in China” labels, the president fired off his own string of tweets returning the subject to Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer who was purported to have damaging information on Hillary Clinton as part of the Russian government’s effort to help his father.

He resurrected some old chestnuts about Clinton’s deleted emails and the debate questions leaked to her in advance (to steal her phrase, “at this point, what difference does it make?”) and made a strange detour to declare his

own record-low approval ratings “not bad at this time” before landing on a direct, full-throated defense of his son this morning.

“Most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one Don jr attended in order to get info on an opponent,” President Trump tweeted. “That’s politics!”

No, it’s not. Seeking dirt on an opponent may be as old as American democracy, but getting together the candidate’s son, son-in-law and campaign manager to meet with someone they don’t know who is purportedly working on behalf of a foreign government to influence the election is a new one. That’s what the vast majority of Americans believe; according to the same Washington Post/ABC News poll the president referred to, 63 percent of respondents said the meeting was inappropriate, compared to 26 percent who thought it was OK. But is it collusion? (Or, in legal terms, conspiracy?) It seems that the American public did not find this piece of evidence at all dispositive on that point. The Post and ABC asked in April, and again in the wake of the Trump Jr. revelations, whether respondents thought Russia

GYRO-FALAFEL-STEAKS

sought to influence the election, and if so, whether the Trump campaign helped.

There was no statistically significant change in any of the responses. If you believe the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the election, you believed it a long time ago. If you don’t, then nothing so far — not the news that President Trump asked investigators to lay off their investigation of Michael Flynn’s Russia ties, not the firing of FBI director James Comey, not the president’s confirmation that he did so because of the “Russia thing” — has changed your mind. Not even an email from Donald Trump Jr. saying he would “love” help from the Russian government to hurt the Clinton campaign makes any difference.

That’s a testament to how effectively President Trump has fact-proofed himself when it comes to his ardent supporters. His constant criticism of the media as purveyors of “fake news” — including in a tweet over the weekend — renders his core of support impervious to any new, negative information.

If the president says there’s nothing unusual about his son’s meeting, his core supporters don’t question it, just

as they don’t question the notion that Trump will bring back coal jobs or convince Mexico to pay for a border wall. Anyone who says otherwise, whether a partisan Democrat or former Republican official, is dismissed as a member of an establishment determined to see President Trump fail. For his core supporters, stomping on his own message about domestic manufacturing to fight some more about the Russia investigation isn’t a distraction, it’s the main event.

But a presidency based on the willing suspension of disbelief can only go so far. We have moved beyond questions about whether Trump advisers lied about contacts with Russians, to whether they actually broke a law prohibiting campaigns from soliciting anything of value from a foreign national, much less a purported representative of a semihostile foreign government. The Trump administration’s shifting explanations about what happened provide no confidence that we’ve heard the last of this. President Trump may believe he can tweet his own reality into existence, and his core supporters may go along with it.

But the rest of us aren’t fooled.

Spacecraft team talks all-new Jupiter photos The Juno probe’s recent photos of the Great Red Spot are the closest ever taken. Juno team members weighed in on the details

BY WILLIAM ROCKWELL @williamwrock529

Juno, a NASA probe launched in 2011 from Cape Canaveral and now in orbit around Jupiter, completed a flyby — its closest yet — of the gas giant’s Great Red Spot on Monday. The spacecraft recorded close-up photos of Jupiter’s well-known high-pressure zone and captured data which will better our understanding of the planet and by extension the solar system.

Juno entered Jupiter’s orbit on July 5, 2016, and has been gathering data ever since. The probe was first proposed to NASA by a team of investigators lead by Southwest Research Institute physicist Scott Bolton. The group had to design a resilient probe that could survive millions of miles away from the Earth.

“The biggest challenge was making sure the spacecraft had reliable power,” said William Hubbard, UA Lunar and Planetary Laboratory professor emeritus and Juno co-investigator. “When you send spacecraft all the way out to Jupiter, the sunlight is not very strong.”

To counter this Juno was given massive solar panels — which additionally provide stability for the craft, essential for the precise gravity and magnetism measurements it needs to take. It was also designed to run all its major features with minimal energy consumption.

“The actual power output is the equivalent of several 100-watt light bulbs,” Hubbard said.

What made this flyby special was the Great Red Spot’s perfect alignment with the probe. Drifting in longitude, the massive storm has been a feature on Jupiter for several centuries and has been observed ever since people began peering through telescopes at the planet.

“Records show that the storm is a high-pressure region, unlike a conventional hurricane which is a lowpressure region,” Hubbard said.

The GRS rotates counterclockwise, and its color has been observed to occasionally change hues.

Observations have indicated that it is shrinking. Records from the 20th century show it was more elliptical in shape, but the long-axis has been shortening, making the spot more circular.

“We’re quite pleased, as the GRS was in the right place at the right time, and we got high resolution images which will let us look at the structure of the storm,” said Planetary Science Institute senior scientist Candice Hansen, JunoCam designer and Juno co-investigator.

Since the most uncharted areas of Jupiter are around the poles, the team put Juno in an orbit around them.

“We picked a width of our field of view as 58 degrees, so we could cover the whole polar region in one image,” Hansen said.

One issue with photography is that Juno is constantly spinning, which would normally make pictures blurry and useless. To counter this, a detector was added that could sense and move the camera to match the rate of spin, providing clear photos that have revealed previously undetected features.

“One of the things we can see with JunoCam are these small clouds that are really high, that we’ve never seen

before” Hansen said. “They could be thunderclouds, but we’ve never seen lightning associated with the GRS, so that’s a puzzle.”

This flyby, also called a perijove, was the seventh to occur since Juno reached Jupiter. The probe will continue to make these flybys until approximately 2021.

“The main challenge was Juno was out of contact with the Earth because of how [the probe] was oriented,” Hansen said. “So all of our data had to fit with the onboard memory storage, which was challenging because

we wanted to take lots of pictures.”

The camera with which Juno took these pictures was an add-on. “We wanted to have a camera, but because it wasn’t required for the science, we said, ‘let’s make it an outreach camera,’” Hansen said.

“The main challenge with this flyby was the radiation exposure. Every time Juno comes in close to Jupiter it gets exposed to harmful radiation,” he added. The radiation builds up over time, but Hubbard confirmed everything is working fine so far.

COURTESY MARIA MAZON

MARIA MAZON WAS BORN in Tucson, Ariz. but grew up in Sonora, Mexico. Her passion for creating authentic Mexican cuisine is fulfilled through her creations at BOCA Tacos y Tequila.

COURTESY MARIA MAZON

AMONG THE MANY MEXICAN restaurants in Tucson, BOCA Tacos y Tequila recently won an award for best tacos in the city by the Tucson Weekly.

Mazon anticipates BOCA’s new beginning

BY MELISSA VASQUEZ @DailyWildcat

BOCA Tacos y Tequila will bid farewell to its current location on Speedway Boulevard on Sunday, July 30, relocating to a new spot on Fourth Avenue the following day.

BOCA is one of the most popular and successful Mexican restaurants in Tucson.

Its proximity to the UA and downtown paired with its authentic Sonoran cuisine has created a large following — one that voted BOCA the best tacos in Tucson Weekly’s annual contest.

BOCA’s owner and chef Maria Mazon is looking forward to the change. She sees the relocation of her business to Fourth Avenue, in the former space of Delectables, as an opportunity for BOCA to grow — while still keeping the character it developed since opening almost eight years ago.

Plans for Boca’s relocation began when Mazon’s landlord informed her that the space

was going to be sold to make way for new student housing development. The landlord wanted to continue to work with Mazon and make sure that BOCA remained as successful as before, so they collaborated to find a new location and make the smoothest transition possible.

Despite the unexpected nature of it all, there are no negative feelings about the relocation. Mazon said that any type of change is good. She can further her vision of BOCA to better serve the Tucson community.

She is confident that this move will not affect her business negatively, especially since BOCA will be relatively close to its previous location.

Regarding the new Hub student housing tower that will occupy the space where her restaurant is now, Mazon sees it as progression of the economy.

“I mean, it’s good for the city in terms of business, you know, bringing money to the city,” Mazon said. “I’m guessing

that if they’re building it, it’s because the UA needs it, there’s a market for it and the more the merrier.”

Mazon said that she got lucky with the new location on Fourth Avenue because it doesn’t require extensive changes; she just needs to add her personal touch and style to distinguish the new BOCA from the former Delectables.

“That’s what I’m doing right now,” Mazon said. “Changing licenses, moving this, meeting with painters, and doing it in two, three weeks which is bananas.”

While the menu will retain the classic favorites, Mazon wants to add more entrées and specials to fill the potential of a larger restaurant space.

“I just want to take a feel of Fourth Ave and just see what it’s all about, and see what it needs or doesn’t need and just play along,” Mazon said.

Mazon said that the atmosphere of the Speedway location will be transferred to the new space on Fourth

Avenue. She said the color started here. Are you kidding scheme of black, gray and silver me? I mean everything about will stay. it, the nostalgia of your first Mazon describes her restaurant.

Fourth Avenue: A glimpse inside Cafe Passé A reporter spends the day inside a beloved coffee shop on Fourth Avenue and finds a perfect slice of Tucson culture

BY ELLICE LUEDERS @elueders

Most Tucsonans spend summer days driving from one airconditioned destination to another, reserving outdoor activities for a more temperate dawn and dusk.

At midday, Cafe Passé’s bustling outdoor patio seems like an exception to this rule.

Cafe Passé has been a Fourth Avenue institution for the past decade, located next to Antigone Books and across the street from the Food Conspiracy Co-Op. The cafe is simply cool — the words most often used to describe it are ‘European’ and ‘eclectic.’ Across from the bathroom, a framed article auf Deutsch asserts the cafe owner, Sabine Blaese’s credibility. She is from the southeast German state of Baden-Württemberg.

Yet, what makes the cafe exceptional is not its recycled sink filled with succulents or a menu featuring a variety of vegan options, nor even the whiskey found at the bar next door. It’s rather the clientele, attracted to these details, that commune together and showcase the best — and weirdest — Tucson has to offer.

In order to get to the back patio, one first has to walk past the counter, where commuters and moms pick up the cold brew they spotted on Tucson Foodie, and a corridor of cool, sheltered seating. Here, one may pass by freelancers with laptops and empty plates, right next to thirty-somethings catching up over lattes.

A tin-roofed shed separates the customers who come for a standard “hip coffee shop” experience and those who come for something a bit more. Maybe it’s the ashtrays, the privacy afforded by a tall wooden fence or the courtyard’s gray sand that lingers longer on a customer than the caffeine; what attracts each attendant is as particular as the individual.

The patio’s shade comes from a few umbrellas along with some mesquite and palo verde trees. Black-clad baristas deliver sandwiches and drinks, both hot and cold. Some barista-turnedDJs choose to broadcast DIY

REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT

TERÉ FOWLER-CHAPMAN, FOUNDER, host and local poet, greets the crowd at the beginning of Words on the Avenue at Cafe Passe, located on Fourth Avenue, on Sunday, Aug. 30, 2015.

Cafe Passe is a local Tucson coffee shop that offers the perfect spot to get coffee, tea and other drinks and food.

music out of Philly during their shifts, while others offer hip selections from Tucson’s favorite decade – the 80s.

Rickety tables and a whitewashed wall give structure to the space, closed off by a row of planks that look like teeth.

Bare light bulbs are strung between the shed and hooks on its opposite brick wall.

A family sits in the shed, pulling extra seats around a vinyl fold-out table with red western curlicue trim. The three oldest of the group are marked with cowboy hats. A bandanna hangs past one man’s shoulders, secured underneath his hat.

A younger mother has brown hair, with a minty green lock framing her face. Her body and voice are reedy. A toddler stretches his hands up to her

kneecaps when he calls for her attention. The dad looks a bit older, with leathery skin and sunglasses.

The baby is sitting cross-eyed when the food arrives, and his mother talks about the Mayans.

She says that the Mayans thought children with crossed eyes were special, stargazers.

Unfocused eyes are better able to see patterns in the sky.

Agreeable murmurs and sounds of eating engulf her words and bring them into the canon of this place.

In the courtyard proper, retired men occupy a central table among hipster couples. A businessman makes calls from a picnic table in the patio’s shady corner.

Smoke clouds, lit by the sun, drift through the canvas of the patio’s umbrellas and the green

branches of its palo verde tree.

People heavily use the ashtrays despite temperatures pushing 100 degrees.

One smoker is a woman whose dreads are just starting to gray. She’s chit-chatting with another woman that has salt and pepper hair.

The woman with dreads is leaving Tucson in nine days, after a long stay. She just came off a stint in Ireland, where she toured as a guest speaker at massage therapist schools. She seems like the kind of person who can cut a home out of anywhere.

She speaks about her last unlikely home in Tucson, a house in an alley she shared with a crazy lady. She details stories of the roommate bringing home “johns” and

making her feel unsafe with the subsequent erratic behavior.

The woman describes a close encounter that inspired her to make a podcast about human trafficking, which is doing well on iTunes. The two went on about their current projects at work.

As subjects for conversation dwindle, her friend thanks her for her time and mentions work left at home. A polite goodbye is exchanged with a rustle of ceramic.

The woman’s dress is flowy and pink, with stylized white hibiscuses and a skirt that trails behind her when she leaves.

As she walks out through the shed, the speakers project the hollow snap of an aux cord being removed. The barista clocks out for the day and passes on DJ duties to the next shift.

Family restaurant brings beer to breakfast

BY KATIE CALDWELL @kcaldwell_DW

TallBoys is a new breakfastinspired diner located on Fourth Avenue. The family-owned restaurant sits in the space formerly occupied

by Pancho Villa’s Grill and serves up cuisine made with fresh, local ingredients from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day.

The name of the eatery comes from its fully-stocked bar featuring a huge selection of 24-ounce beers. There are over 50 different types of tallboys available ranging from $3 to $7, including locally-brewed craft beers as well as classic favorites.

The staff is currently in the process of creating daily bar specials, but TallBoys’ current summer drink bargain includes the michelada, a tallboy and a shot of liquor for just $7.

Additionally, their unique specialty cocktails range from $5 to $8.

Bartender Deborah Handley said the five unusual cocktails are made from scratch with fresh ingredients such as cucumber syrup, blue fig house jam and pickled strawberries.

“All of the drinks are really great,” Handley said. “But the coolest drink is the non-alcoholic Brazilian Ice Water.”

You can even add cannabidiol oil into the Brazilian Ice Water for an additional $3. Handley expressed that she has never heard of another bar selling a drink with CBD oil in it.

One menu is used all day and offers a variety of breakfast and lunch dishes ranging from $5 to $12.

Owner Ben Schneider said he wanted a place for people of all walks of life to enjoy reasonably priced breakfast and booze.

Schneider is no stranger to the restaurant business in Tucson. His mother, Jo, owns La Cocina and Bentley’s House of Coffee and Tea. Schneider said he had been looking at locations around town to open up his own restaurant and saw a great opportunity when Pancho Villa’s Grill went out of business and the space went up for sale.

“Food is a big deal here,” Schneider said. “Both the bar and food menus are original concepts.”

The B-Fast Poke Bowl is one of the most popular items on the menu and is priced at $12. Handley said her favorite dish, though, is the BATLEG burger, which stands for the ingredients: bacon, avocado, tomato, lettuce, egg and goat cheese.

She believes that UA students will be excited to have a new spot on Fourth Avenue, one that’s within walking distance from the campus and close to many of the student

housing residences.

“The vibe is really positive, everyone is super nice and the food and drinks are delicious and priced reasonably,” Handley said.

Line cook Joseph Eiley said almost everything in the kitchen is made from scratch and has a local flare to it. His favorite entree is the breakfast sandwich with a side salad.

“It is made with fresh biscuits from La Cocina, with a choice of bacon or sausage, fig jam, cheese, over-easy egg and an avocado,” Eiley said.

The side salad is made with mixed greens with an orange vinaigrette drizzled on top. The TallBoys cook said the menu incorporates fresh ingredients in all of it food, including the salsa, pico de gallo and jams.

“You get higher-quality food for such a good price,” Eiley said. “UA students need to come here.”

With the diner’s eclectic menu, incredible beer selection and convenient location, that endorsement is likely to be received with enthusiasm. TallBoys is located at 600 N. Fourth Ave.

USC is the overwhelming favorite in the Pac-12, while others look to ruin coronation

BY NATHAN SKINNER @DailyWildcat

The South is rising once again, with the men of Troy leading the way. USC may be on the verge of something special, but they won’t roll through the division unchallenged. Utah and Colorado will provide resistance, while talented UCLA lurks in the shadows.

University of Southern California Sam Darnold is the latest in a long line of outstanding Trojan quarterbacks and may be the best physical talent to play at Southern Cal since Carson Palmer who won the Heisman in 2002.

Darnold led the Trojans to nine consecutive wins to close out the 2016 campaign, including a thrilling Rose Bowl triumph over Penn State — the question is whether Darnold can avoid the sophomore jinx and continue to thrive in Troy.

Darnold will have a ton of help as tailback Ronald Jones returns. Jones rushed for 1,082 yards last year and averaged 6.1 yards per carry.

USC will miss standout wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster, but the Trojans don’t rebuild, they reload.

Defensively, USC returns seven starters from 2016, including middle linebacker Cameron Smith.

Smith was second team AllPac-12 last season and he may be an All-American this winter. Even though USC still lacks depth at some positions, they are still the Division’s prohibitive favorite and should be in the thick of the College Football Playoff race.

University of Utah Kyle Whittingham is one of the

most consistent coaches in the country as his Utes have won nine or more games seven times in the last ten years. The Utes pride themselves on being unchanging, a model of efficient football.

Despite their success, Utah is moving away from the conservative, run-first philosophy in favor of a pass-happy spread attack. It remains to be seen who will be filling the air with footballs for the Utes as there is a heated quarterback battle.

2016 starter Troy Williams appears to be the likely starter for 2017, but Cooper Bateman was impressive in spring practice.

Bateman was a highly touted recruit that washed out at Alabama and found his way to Salt Lake City. Regardless of who wins the competition, they will be throwing to a group of unproven receivers.

Defensively, the Utes are once again an experienced, well-coached group. Utah returns five of their topseven tacklers from last year, with defensive tackle Lowell Lotuleiei leading the way.

Lotuleiei can do it all, he can rush the passer and is stout against the run. While Utah doesn’t appear to have enough overall talent to challenge USC for the South title, the Utes have beaten the odds before.

University of California, Los Angeles Jim Mora and the Bruins have underachieved for most of the last three years. A 4-8 season and years of underwhelming play have the citizens of Westwood wondering whether Mora is the answer.

The one thing fans aren’t wondering about is who will be

starting at quarterback. Josh Rosen is finally healthy and ready to rebound from what was a frustrating sophomore season.

Rosen missed the final six games following a shoulder injury, but appears ready to carry the Bruin offense. He will have a ton of help on the perimeter, as the Bruins possess some of the most talented receivers in the country.

Both Darren Andrews and Jordan Lasley can turn small plays into long gains. Kenny Young leads a defense that was abused last year. While the

unit should be improved, it is safe to say that Rosen and the Bruins will have to win a lot of shootouts.

On paper, UCLA is a team that should be competing for a division title, but their lack of consistency will inevitably prevent them from fulfilling their potential.

University of Colorado Last year, Mike MacIntyre was under fire, as his rebuilding project in Boulder had failed to make significant progress. This year, the 2016 Pac-12 Coach of the Year is

looking to lead his Buffs to a second consecutive division crown.

In order for the Buffs to be more than a one-year wonder, they will have to successfully replace quarterback Sefo Liufau. Liufau rewrote the CU record book, and his inspired play helped make the Buffaloes a complete offensive team.

Former understudy Steven Montez is talented enough to replace Liufau, he was productive in spot duty last season. The question

ALEX MCINTYRE /THE DAILY WILDCAT

ARIZONA RUNNING BACK ZACH Green dives through Sun Devil’s defense to set up the Wildcats for their fourth touchdown during the first half of the 2016 Territorial Cup at Arizona Stadium Friday, Nov. 25, 2016. Green rushed 126 yards and scored two touchdowns against the Sun Devils.

PAC-12 SOUTH PREVIEW FROM PAGE 16

is whether he possesses the intangibles that made his predecessor successful.

While Montez is finding his way, MacIntyre will rely on tailback Phillip Lindsay to carry the mail. Lindsay rushed for 1,252 yards and scored twelve touchdowns last season.

The Buffs will be an offensive team, for the defense is inexperienced, and in some areas, lacking in depth. Only three starters return, and two are in the secondary. It is unlikely that CU repeats as division champs, but they will be in a bowl game for the second consecutive year.

Arizona State University Remember when Todd Graham was an up and coming star in the coaching profession? Those days are long past, as Graham has been exposed as a onedimensional coach.

ASU scores a ton of points, but the problem is that their opponents do so as well — the Sun Devils’ defense allowed thirty or more points nine times last season, one of the highest rates in the country.

New defensive coordinator Phil Bennett will have his work cut out for him, as he will have to overhaul a unit that was unable to execute the basics. While Bennett is putting his group through Football 101, offensive coordinator Billy Napier will be searching for a consistent quarterback.

Manny Wilkins made a lot of plays last season, but his decision making was spotty at best. Wilkins will face stiff competition from Blake Barnett and Brady White.

The Sun Devil rushing attack, long ignored, will be a force this fall. Kalen Ballage and Demario Richard are two talented tailbacks that complement each

other perfectly.

While they were underutilized last season, that won’t be the case in 2017.

ASU will be fun to watch, but their porous defense will keep them home for the holidays once again.

University of Arizona Grease Fire. That is the only way to accurately describe the 2016 gridiron ‘Cats. Rich Rodriguez and his staff were unable to overcome a rash of injuries and inconsistent plays as the Wildcats slogged to a 3-9 record.

While it is safe to say that the 2017 edition is light years ahead of last year’s game, it is still the least talented group in the division.

Quarterback Brandon Dawkins returns as a dynamic playmaker, as he rushed for 944 yards last season. Unlike last year, there isn’t a battle for the position, as former starter Anu Solomon transferred to Baylor University.

That said, if Dawkins can’t improve upon his middling passing numbers, Khalil Tate might get an opportunity.

Nick Wilson will also return and will be the centerpiece of the Wildcat rushing attack. Wilson was unable to build upon his breakout 2015 season due to injury but is now healthy and ready to run roughshod over opposing defenses.

While the offense appears to be a work of art, the defense remains a work in progress. Seven starters return, but the unit remains one of the worst in the conference.

Fortunately for the ‘Cats, they avoid the best teams in the Pac-12, with Stanford and Washington not appearing on the schedule. That is one of the few bits of good news in Tucson, as it will be a surprise if the ‘Cats are anywhere near bowl eligibility.

Men’s basketball to travel abroad for exhibition games

BY ALEC WHITE @AlecWhite_UA

While the annual Red/Blue Game is still three months away, Wildcat basketball fans don’t have to wait that long to catch a glimpse of this year’s team.

On August 11, Sean Miller and the UA men’s basketball squad will take their talents abroad to play three exhibition games in Spain, making stops in Barcelona and Valencia.

Arizona is expected to have its full roster on the court, including new recruits DeAndre Ayton and Emmanuel Akot.

The Wildcats’ first game will be August 13 against Combinado Valenciano at 7 p.m. (10 a.m. Arizona time) at Pabellon Municipal Fuente de San Luis in Valencia.

The second game of the trip is set for August 16 against the Mataro All-Stars at 7:10 p.m. (10:10 a.m. Arizona time) inside the Pavello Municipal Teresa Maria Rocain in Barcelona.

Finally, the last game of the exhibition tour will also be held in Barcelona on

August 18 against Mataro Parc Boet at 7:10 p.m. (10:10 a.m. Arizona time).

Fans will be able to watch all three games streamed live on FloSports. Note that FloSports requires a subscription to their network, and a monthly membership costs $20. While that price may seem steep, remember that it buys you access to three basketball games featuring one of the best teams in college basketball — cheaper than flying to Spain to see the games in person.

The tour should make for a good bonding experience for Sean Miller’s squad. According to the UA Athletics website, the team will be making several sightseeing stops, visiting historical settings such as Camp Nou Stadium, some of the 1992 Olympic Games venues and a few of the many historical and architectural wonders of Spain.

This will also be the second time in the Sean Miller era that the Wildcats take a trip overseas. The first experience came in the Bahamas in 2012. Arizona went 2-0 on that trip and outscored their opponents 235-133. Expect similar results this time around.

transition from high school to college play. Her selection to the state 5A first team, capped with her being named 5A Offensive Player of the Year, only affirms her readiness.

Nixon is also quite capable in the classroom. She sports a 4.1 GPA at Arcadia High School and is hoping to major in marketing upon her arrival to the UA. She doesn’t lack confidence, nor should she; her optimism and vision combined with the change of culture instilled by Coach Barnes should help turn around Arizona women’s basketball.

Nixon says her goal before she arrives to the UA is to win a state championship.

She has a similar goal in mind for when she arrives in Tucson.

“I would love to win a national championship,” she said.

Wipe that smirk off your face, because Nixon isn’t kidding — even UConn was a

bottom-feeder before breaking through to the Final Four in legendary coach Geno Auriemmas’ sixth season. When Nixon hits her senior year at Arizona, Adia Barnes will be in her sixth year of coaching.

In fact, even this year’s national champion, South Carolina, toiled around the .500 mark just six years ago. While an Arizona national championship isn’t a certainty, it is a possibility when you have players who entertain the vision of success that Nixon does.

Nixon will join a completely revamped Arizona squad that will feature two other five-star prospects — Catherine Reese and Valeria Trucco — as well as Shalyse Smith, another versatile three-star prospect from Tacoma, Washington.

For now, though, Nixon is set to wrap up her final summer as a high school player. She’ll be participating in the Let’s Jam Summer Slam Tournament at Inspire Courts in Gilbert, AZ, July 21-23 before preparing for her final season at Arcadia.

Former Wildcats Markkanen, Allen impress in NBA Summer League Pre-Tournament

BY RACHEL HUSTON @mirachelonice

Two Arizona Wildcats are making names for themselves in the pros.

Freshman Lauri Markkanen, drafted 7th overall by the Chicago Bulls, and senior Kadeem Allen, taken 53rd overall by the Boston Celtics, recently began NBA Summer League play.

Both have performed well in the league’s Las Vegas tournament, showing the wide spectrum of their abilities during outings with their respective teams.

While the Bulls were eliminated from the tournament yesterday and Markkanen sitting out due to a left big-toe contusion, Allen and the Celtics prepare themselves for the Golden State Warriors in the championship round.

Lauri Markkanen Markkanen came out of the gates sprinting in his first game and found himself near a doubledouble with 14 points, eight rebounds and two assists.

In the first quarter alone he had seven points and dominated around the basket, his first points from a dunk.

Markkanen proceeded to score another basket in similar fashion just seconds later, then sunk one from the three-point line.

The real highlight of his threegame-run with the Bulls, though, was his double-double in the team’s only win against the Washington Wizards.

After playing just two games with a seemingly shaky roster, Markkanen found his rhythm and scored 20 points with ten rebounds.

One reason for this success was his chemistry with guard Denzel Valentine. Valentine was the 14th overall pick in 2016, and he clicked with Markkanen and elevated his own play.

The duo’s performance resembled those of Allonzo Trier and Markkanen in Arizona.

This dish from Valentine to Markkanen in a game against the Atlanta Hawks demonstrated their chemistry.

Despite Markkanen’s efforts, the Bulls ended with a losing record of 1-2 and fell to the 16th seed Portland Trail Blazers in the first round. The severity of his toe injury is unknown, but he will most likely be ready for training camp.

ARIZONA’S KADEEM ALLEN (5) dribbles past a USC defender during the UA-USC game on Thursday, Feb. 23 in McKale Center. Allen was selected 53rd overall by the Boston Celtics.

Kadeem Allen Allen knew coming into Summer League that he had to play the game he was known for.

Sticking to that defensive play, while adding a dash of offense, he dazzled the crowd.

In his first game, against the Philadelphia 76ers, Allen tallied his first points off with a layup.

In the same game, he also registered an assist, which came off a pass to 3rd overall pick Jayson Tatum.

Although Allen was solid in every game, his best performance came in the final contest against the 76ers, in which he had six points, four rebounds (all defensive), two

SIMON ASHER/THE DAILY WILDCAT

assists and one block.

In his previous games, Allen had a presence. He blocked shots, got defensive rebounds and maintained good defensive positioning. But his efforts in the final contest were sublime, especially with a circus shot that awed the fans and commentators.

The Celtics moved through their preliminary games in Las Vegas with a perfect 3-0 record.

When they take to the court at 6 p.m. EST in the championship tournament, the spotlight will be on. Allen and his teammates have performed at a high level so far, putting them in a good position to win the tournament.

Bryce Nixon could be UA’s next great point guard

BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman

What if I told you that Arizona recruited a player who averaged 20 points, dished out nearly five assists and stole the ball over three times per game last season? What if I told you that same player led her team to a 26-3 record in that season? What if I topped it off

by revealing that this player, who has one more year of high school left, is from Arizona?

Would you be interested?

That player’s name is Bryce Nixon — and she’s verbally committed to becoming a Wildcat in 2018.

Nixon is a 5-foot-ten guard who can do it all.

She has great court awareness, loves to play in an up-tempo style and is the best offensive guard in the state. Though Nixon is ranked as a three-star prospect by HoopGurlz rankings, don’t let that fool you; she was a coveted prospect nationwide.

Nixon held offers from 13 schools before narrowing it down to Oregon State, Kansas State, Oklahoma and Gonzaga. Of the five schools on her final list, she chose Arizona — the lone team out of the five not in last year’s NCAA tournament. Why? Because of her relationship with Arizona head coach Adia Barnes.

“I looked at a lot of schools and I realized that relationships were a really big factor,” Nixon said. “Adia (Barnes) just really stood out, and she is not just a good coach but a great mentor. And I trust her, and we’re really

close, which is important to me.”

Nixon is no slouch; she has tremendous abilities, including a silky smooth jumper, a lethal step-back shot and great court vision.

She’ll be able to hold her own at the next level, part of the reason why she chose to play in perhaps the toughest conference in the country, the Pac-12.

One need only look at Nixon’s highlights and competitive spirit to realize that she’ll be more than prepared to handle the
