UI searches for space for new Chicago facility BY LAUREN ROHR STAFF WRITER
The next step for the new University-affi liated manufacturing lab Gov. Pat Quinn introduced last week is fi nding a location in Chicago, project leaders said. The Illinois Manufacturing Laboratory will serve as an independent, non-profit innovation hub that will focus on manufacturing advancement and workforce development, said University spokesman Tom Hardy in an email. Quinn announced the partnership with the University and National Center for Supercomputing Applications in his State of State address Feb. 6. In his speech, he said manufacturing has been one of Illinois’ leading growth sectors, with the creation of approximately 40,000 new jobs in the last three years; however, 140,000 job openings in Illinois remain unfi lled because of a lack of skill needed for these jobs. He said the IML will help to close the “skills gap.” “The Illinois Manufacturing Lab will make our manufacturers more competitive,” Quinn said. “Now, in our Illinois, we leave no worker behind.” Hardy said both the Urbana and Chicago campuses will benefit from the creation of this lab. The project will utilize the center’s supercomputing resources along with the Urbana campus’ workforce development training through the College of Education. It will also involve the Chicago campus’ Electronic Visualization Laboratory, a graduate research lab with a focus on computer science and art, he said. “The University of Illinois will gain additional awareness of its capabilities, expertise and value to the state, as well as new revenue, by connecting even more than it does now with a key sector of the state’s economy — the 20,000 manufacturers in Illinois who compete in local, national and global markets,” Hardy said. He said the state is investing $5 million in the project, a cost that will need to be matched by private fi rms and other outside sources. He said the project could come together within a year.

The University rededicated Lincoln Hall on Abraham Lincoln’s birthday Tuesday, exactly 100 years after the building’s original dedication. Ruth Watkins, dean of LAS, delivered opening remarks and said she was pleased with the renovations to the building. “The long-awaited historic restoration has created a 21st century learning environment for thousands of students,” Watkins said. She said the hall has been a great asset to the community since restoration. The ceremony also celebrated the end of two years of construction on Lincoln

Obama pushes for job creation plan in address BY JULIE PACE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WA SH I NGT ON — Uncompromising and politically emboldened, President Barack Obama urged a deeply divided Congress Tuesday night to embrace his plans to use government money to create jobs and strengthen the nation’s middle class. He declared Republican ideas for reducing the deficit “even worse” than the unpalatable deals Washington had to stomach during his first term. In his fi rst State of the Union address since winning re-election, Obama conceded economic revival is an “unfinished task,” but he claimed clear progress and said he prepared to build on it as he embarks on four more years in office. “We have cleared away the rubble of crisis, and we can say with renewed
confidence that the state of our union is strong,” Obama said in an hour-long address to a joint session of Congress and a television audience of millions. Yet with unemployment persistently high and consumer confidence falling, the economy remains a vulnerability for Obama and could disrupt his plans for pursuing a broader agenda, including immigration overhaul, stricter gun laws and climate change legislation. Obama also announced new steps to reduce the U.S. military footprint abroad. He had a sharp rebuke for North Korea, which launched a nuclear test just hours before his remarks, saying, “Provocations of the sort we saw last night will only isolate them further.”
Possession, making of fake identification common on campus BY MADDIE REHAYEM STAFF WRITER

Q: What did you think of the president’s State of the Union address? COMPILED BY CHRISSY PAWLOWSKI STAFF WRITER
“I like that he was very forceful on gun violence, raising minimum wage. ... He was being very straightforward about what he’s going to do.” MILAN DASGUPTA, sophomore in Engineering

Gov. Pat Quinn, center, leads the ribbon cutting at the at the Lincoln Hall Theater on Tuesday. The ceremony that took place celebrated the 100th anniversary of the original dedication of Lincoln Hall.
“I wasn’t really too impressed — it sounded like a lot of the same. It’s just positive. It’s too unspecific.” ERIC ANDERSON, senior in Engineering
“I feel like he didn’t talk much about spending cuts. There should have been a more detailed discussion about it.” SUSHIL KUMAR, graduate student
“He stressed more on modern issues like immigration issues. He emphasized more on what he’s been saying for a while, which is good.” RAKESH KOMURAVELLI, graduate student
The Weston Hall resident who was arrested Jan. 20 for manufacturing fake IDs pleaded not guilty in court Feb. 6 and requested a jury trial. He will return to court March 19 for a pretrial conference. University police had originally investigated Arturo Ibrahim Perez-Vera’s dorm room because housing staff smelled marijuana. After searching the room, police arrested the 18-year-old on charges of not only possession of cannabis and drug paraphernalia, but also possession of fraudulent identification and manufacturing fraudulent identification. University police Sgt. Tom Geis, head of the detectives of the University police, said police found two bags of syringes for fi lling ink cartridges, a safe with a fraudulent Illinois identification card, a plastic bag with numerous blank identification cards, a template and additional fake IDs. “This is nothing new,” Geis said. “There are probably a couple (of manufacturing ID cases) a year that local police and U of I and Urbana respond to.” But fake ID manufacturing is not nearly as common as fake ID possession, Champaign police Sgt. Joe Ketchem said. He said students usually don’t manufacture IDs but order them from the Internet.
Ketchem said there are two types of fake IDs: a fraudulent ID, which is a manufactured fake with a person’s rightful name and face on it, and a misused ID, which is someone else’s actual ID. Thomas Betz, directing attorney at Student Legal Services, said that in the 26 years he has worked with students, he can’t remember a week he didn’t deal with fake ID possession. “Between fake IDs and minors in possession, they’re probably the two most common offenses you’re going to have in any college community,” he said. Although Betz described the making and distributing of fake IDs as a “fact of life” and something that went on while he was in college, the consequences for owning one are serious. Possession of a fraudulent ID is a Class 4 felony, which could result in fi ne up to $25,000 and one to three years in prison. Possession of a misused ID is a Class A misdemeanor, which could result in fi nes of $500 to $2,500 or 50 hours of community service, up to 364 days in jail, the loss of driving privileges and likely University disciplinary action. However, Betz said these are the worst-case scenarios. He said offenders usually face a $300 fine and court costs, which

could bring the fi nal payment to more than $600. On the next offense, the punishments become more severe: A repeat offense of possession of a fraudulent ID is a Class 3 felony, punishable with a minimum fi ne of $500 or 50 hours of community service and often an alcohol abuse prevention program. A repeat offense of possession of a misused ID becomes a Class 4 felony. “That starts adding up,” Betz said. “It’s a tax on the use of the court system. You get one free bite for a relatively minor offense, but you’re not going to get to eat the entire apple over and over again.” Ketchem said the likelihood of getting caught with a fake ID has increased over the last few years. “In 2011, I think there were almost 15 or 16 cases for IDs, and just this last year, there were over 230,” Ketchem said. “We increased our enforcement, and there was a tweak in the ordinance about charging people, and we followed up on a lot of them that were seized at the bar.” Ketchem has seen the gamut of fakes in his 17 years on the police force here. “I’ve worked campus for a lot of years. I know what some of the practices are,” he said. “(For

Merle Giles, director of the private sector program at NCSA, said the center hosts supercomputing resources and provides support for companies that specialize in manufacturing. He said the merging of classical manufacturing with more advanced digital tools will make companies more innovative and productive. “To reach the very manufacturers who make things and struggle with access to these digital tools, we need to be where they live,” Giles said. “So we’ve proposed to take the NCSA toolset, and set up shop in Chicago where these companies are and extend the consulting engagement that we do here in Champaign today.” But many community members have expressed discontentment with the choice of location.

Carina can be reached at lee713@ dailyillini.com. Development Corporation, the developer of Research Park in Champaign, said he is concerned about University resources leaving the Champaign-Urbana area. He said the local economy is fragile and needs an economic development focus similar to that of Chicago. “If we don’t create more higher-paying, technology-oriented jobs, it’s very difficult for the University to obtain and attract the best faculty and the best staff,” Fox said. Although the specific location for the lab has not be determined, Giles said Chicago is a logical city for the lab because of the community of large companies NCSA serves, most of them are located in the Chicago area. “We want to accelerate innovation and use speed as an advantage,” Giles said. “In order to do that, we have to step out of our research umbrella and be more entrepreneurial. That’s the reason we need to be in Chicago.”
Senate hearing on restricting firearms fuels debate BY ALAN FRAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The toll of gun violence and the widespread disgust it has generated makes it time for new federal gun curbs that balance public safety with gun rights, Democrats said Tuesday at the Senate’s latest hearing on restricting firearms. Republicans said today’s unenforced gun laws give criminals no reason to fear ignoring them, and they warned that the Constitution’s right to bear arms must be protected, even after unspeakable events like the December slaughter of 20 first-graders in Connecticut. Each side trotted out its own legal experts, statistics and even relatives of people slain by gunwielding assailants. In the end there was little partisan agreement, though Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said cooperation was possible on stopping straw purchases, in which someone legally buys a gun for a criminal or a person barred from owning one. The crowded hearing room was filled with people from gun control groups and according to Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., included relatives of some killed in the Newtown, Conn., elementary school shooting. Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee holding the hearing, asked friends and families of gun victims to stand, and dozens rose. “We know that we have to act,” Durbin said. At another point, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., began his ques-
tioning of the panel’s first witness, Timothy J. Heaphy, the U.S. attorney for the western district of Virginia and an appointee of President Barack Obama, with one question: “Do you own a gun?” “No,” responded Heaphy, who said, “I do not feel comfortable having a gun in our home” because he has children. One witness, Suzanna Gratia Hupp, told the senators of being in a cafeteria in Killeen, Texas, in 1991 when a gunman smashed his truck through the front window and fatally shot 23 people, including her parents. Hupp says she left her gun in her car because Texas law barred her from bringing it into the restaurant. “I don’t view myself as a victim of gun violence,” said Hupp, now a Texas state official and gun rights advocate. “I view myself as a victim of a maniac who happened to use a gun as a tool. And I view myself as the victim of the legislators we had at the time who left me defenseless.” Taking the opposing view was Sandra J. Wortham, whose brother, Chicago police officer Thomas E. Wortham IV, was fatally shot outside their parents’ home by robbers in 2010, though he and his father, a retired police sergeant, fired back. “The fact that they were armed that night didn’t prevent Thomas’ murder,” said Wortham, now a Chicago police official. The hearing came just hours before Obama was to deliver his annual State of the Union address, in which he was expected to repeat his call for gun curbs.

Hunt for fugitive ex-cop may be coming to end in Big Bear, Calif. Thousands of officers had been on the hunt for the former Navy reservist since police said he launched a campaign to exact revenge against the Los Angeles Police Department for his fi ring. They say he threatened to bring “warfare” to officers and their families, spreading fear and setting off a search for him across the Southwest and Mexico. “Enough is enough. It’s time for you to turn yourself in. It’s time to stop the bloodshed,” LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said at a news conference held outside police headquarters in Los Angeles, a starkly different atmosphere from last week, when officials briefed the news media under tight security with Dorner on the loose.
BY GILLIAN FLACCUS AND TAMI ABDOLLAH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. — The extraordinary manhunt for the former Los Angeles police officer suspected of three murders converged Tuesday on a mountain cabin where authorities believe he barricaded himself, engaged in a shootout that killed a deputy and then never emerged as the home went up in fl ames. A single gunshot was heard from within, and a charred body was found inside. If the man inside proves to be Christopher Dorner, as authorities suspect, the search for the most wanted man in America over the last week would have ended the way he had expected — death, with the police pursuing him.
A short time after Smith spoke Tuesday, smoke began to rise from the cabin in the snow-covered woods near Big Bear Lake, a resort town about 80 miles east of Los Angeles. Flames then engulfed the building — images that were broadcast on live television around the world. TV helicopters showed the fi re burning freely with no apparent effort to extinguish it. “We have reason to believe that it is him,” said San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Cynthia Bachman, adding that she didn’t know how the fi re started. She noted there was gunfi re between the person in the cabin and officers around the home before the blaze began.
Until Tuesday, authorities didn’t know whether Dorner was still near Big Bear Lake, where they found his burned-out pickup last week. Around 12:20 p.m. Tuesday, deputies got a report of a stolen pickup truck, authorities said. The location was directly across the street from where law enforcement set up their command post on Thursday and not far from where Dorner’s pickup was abandoned. The owner of the vehicle taken Tuesday described the suspect as looking similar to Dorner. A warden for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife traveling down Highway 38 recognized a man who fit Dorner’s description traveling in the opposite direction. The officer
pursued the vehicle; there was a shooting at 12:42 p.m. in which the wildlife vehicle was hit numerous times and the suspect escaped on foot after crashing his truck. After holing up in the cabin, there was a second gunbattle with San Bernardino County deputies, two of whom were shot. One died and the other was expected to live after undergoing surgery. “We’re heartbroken,” Big Bear Lake Mayor Jay Obernolte said of the deputy’s death and the wounding of his colleague. “Words can’t express how grateful we are for the sacrifice those men have made in defense of the community and our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families.”

Editorial New constitution would give ISS too much control over students’ ability to make policy changes
ADAM HUSKA Opinions columnist
R
eferendum season is upon us, and if you’re one of the vast majority of students, you have no idea what that means. It means that in efforts to get special votes on the ballot, groups like the Illinois Student Senate are sending out their petitions with vague and imprecise language like this: “Do you approve of the Student Government as the Official Voice of the Student Body (Illinois Student Senate) through a new Constitution and Transition Document as proposed by the Commission on Constitutional Reform and adopted by the Illinois Student Senate?” Missing from the Illinois student government’s referendum petitions that the body is circulating online are any and all details of what that constitution actually contains. The Daily Illini’s reports should give you a clearer picture. Although ISS has proposed making the president directly elected by the student body, this comes at a considerable price to the abilities of the student body to affect change on campus. Referendum questions are, by and large, students’ most effective way of implementing a policy change. Student votes don’t bind the University to action, and aside from a couple notable exceptions (like Chief Illiniwek support), most have brought about some policy change, often either through new student fees or some new campus policy — the Illini Media fee or the smoking ban. But to get the question to the ballot, students have to collect a certain number of signatures endorsing the question: 5 percent of the student body, or about 2,000 signatures, for ISS members — 7 percent, or about 2,800, for everyone else. With the new constitution, senators would not need signatures: They would only need a two-thirds vote among themselves to put something on the ballot. At the same time, the constitution will require anyone else to collect 10 percent of the student body population, up from 7 percent. For the Illini Media Company, the parent company of the DI, raising the bar from 7 percent to 10 percent of the student body’s signatures would have meant an additional 1,200 signatures (for a grand total of 4,000) last year to get only 3,000 people to vote on a $3 fee to support the company. When student voter participation is exceptionally low, this new policy requires students with views contrary to the student senate to gather additional signatures on scales that are comparable to the splits between yes and no votes, which is no easy feat. The motivation behind the change? “It will also encourage more organizations to come and present referendum questions (to the senate),” said Shao Guo, vice president-internal of the senate. And there you have it. Make it more difficult for students to put their own questions on the ballot, so that you essentially have to bring your proposal to ISS. Then, ISS exercises a great deal of control over what you have to say and what is put up to student votes. So if you’re asked to sign this petition, ask about this aspect of their proposed constitution, and consider this last point: Out of the 27 spring referendum questions that have appeared on the ballot in the last decade, only two have failed to pass. Are you sure you want to give that power to the ISS?
T
changed? Because the intelligence community did what it was supposed to do when four Americans are murdered: They gathered further intelligence. This is my biggest gripe with the chickenhawks. They still don’t get the fact that stories change. It seems, in this Internet-driven age of instant gratification, that we have an inability to understand that when huge, incredibly important events on the scale of what happened in Benghazi transpire, perfect reporting is difficult. It’s impossible for our news media to accurately and immediately encapsulate their every single detail. Couple that with media organizations’ desire to be the first to print (or tweet) every story and our national penchant for conspiracy theories, and we have a very messy situation on our hands. The mishandling of the situation in Benghazi — a confusing series of events that even now hasn’t been fully understood — by the press and by politicians is indicative of a larger problem. According to the Pew Research Center, 66 percent of the public believes that news stories are often inaccurate. Trust in the media’s ability to be fair and unbiased has never been lower. The mainstream media is constantly accused of having a “liberal” bias and outwardly biased news outlets like MSNBC and Fox News have grown quickly in their place. People like Lindsey Graham can now go on Face the Nation and spread baldfaced lies and the public will believe them. Because who can else can they trust?
his year, Valentine’s Day has competition — in Illinois that is. Instead of buying enough chocolate to last me through the Apocalypse, I’ll be planning my big gay wedding. That’s right: on Feb. 14, Illinois legislators are expected to vote on legislation legalizing same sex marriage. No, I mean gay marriage. Correction: LGBT marriage. Does it really matter? It does. In a generation that is breaking gender binaries and fighting for tolerance of any and all identities, it matters especially. Since I knew what the word meant, I have been referring to myself as gay. My preference for other males has been fairly constant and consistent (don’t screw this up for me, Beyonce). I’m attracted to the samesex and that’s that: I’m gay. Girls who are attracted to other girls are lesbians, and people who prefer either or are bisexuals. Right? Wrong. What do we call girls who identify as heterosexual but have gender-atypical tendencies? What about individuals who are merely curious? Expecting to appease all individuals diverging from a heterosexual identity using a 4-letter acronym is naive. Referring to a movement describing the acceptance of all sexual and gender minorities as a gay rights movement is inaccurate. I get it; they need a name. People need something to refer to them in history and sociology textbooks. The aim in a name is to bring about recognition and awareness, just as much as it is about inclusion. And it’s been tried — maybe too many times. Either with obnoxiously long acronyms such as LGBTQQIA or with umbrella terms attempting uniformity such as “queer.” The common goal between the two: inclusion. But inclusion is the problem here — or at least the attempt to be all-inclusive is. While trying to devise a term that refers to specific individuals, there is an indirect exclusion of specific individuals too. LGBT does just that — it includes individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. But it excludes anyone that doesn’t adhere to one of these four labels or those who characterize their sexuality as fluid. The University is no stranger to inclusion. For example, the LGBT Resource Center provides resources for “people of all sexualities and gender identities.” And while I have been to and praise the resource center, I find the name problematic. If the center’s resources are available to people of any and all sexualities and gender identities, why advertise it otherwise? If we’re going to play the acronym game, I vote for the POASAGI Resource Center. Just think about the historical race classifications in the United States: African American, Native American and Latino. They are extremely general and ambiguous labels. Anybody of Latin American descent can be considered Latino. A Mexican or a Brazilian is also a Latino. Does it create a general term to classify a group of people? Yes. Does it account for individual differences? No. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m confused. Yes, despite the fact that my identity is given a concrete, widespread label, I’m confused. Confused because my individual identity is gay, but my community identity is LGBT. Confused because I don’t just support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals, I support everyone in between. Confused because I’m not just gay and LGBT, I’m also Jewish and middle class. There isn’t an acronym with enough letters to incorporate all of my identities, and there isn’t an umbrella term that does that either. And although my intersecting identities don’t adhere to a single label or acronym, they are nonetheless salient. I don’t need any more or any fewer letters. And I’m not asking for replacements or even alternatives, just reconsideration. Because as much as LGBT is about giving a name to the movement’s people, it’s about inclusion too. Those who don’t conform to identity labels, who can’t pick a single letter to define them, who are somewhere in between G and B — they are the ones being left in the dark. And don’t think that there haven’t been attempts to address this issue. Trekkies will remember the IDIC acronym for Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. Students at universities such as Harvard and Lawrence embrace the GLOW acronym for Gay, Lesbian or Whatever. These acronyms are vague, but maybe that’s been the solution all along. To be so unspecific, so general that nobody has to pick and choose — they can just be.

Indulge in making yourself and loved ones feel great on Valentine’s Day TA’LES LOVE Opinions columnist
In
case you’ve forgotten, Valentine’s Day is here. If you are currently in a relationship, then you are looking forward to the joy and love tomorrow will bring. Yes, many of you will celebrate love by indulging your sweetie with beautiful flowers, heart-shaped candies, teddy bears and a thoughtful and well-planned dinner date. In a matter of hours love potions will have seemed to hypnotize the world. If you are single, like me, you may already feel sick with annoyance. You may want tomorrow to pass as quickly as possible. The cards, the flowers and the candy may be enough to make you lose your mind. You may feel that limiting the joys of unconditional love to heart-shaped candies is beyond obnoxious. You may also be seemingly enthusiastic for Feb. 15, when the world will return to business as usual. But really, singles should be looking forward to tomorrow as well.
Because Valentine’s Day tends to focus on couples and romance, singles may feel a lack of love on the day that people worship it most. The holiday can be overhyped, causing many people to feel loneliness and bitterness on this holiday. It’s OK to experience those feelings at some point or another. We’ve all been there, but it’s unwise to sulk in those negative feelings. Cast those thoughts down immediately and realize what tomorrow really represents. If you don’t have a significant other, remember that someone significant still loves you. Ultimately, there’s no reason to be lonely, sad or bitter, and being in a relationship certainly does not define love. Valentine’s Day is about expressing and celebrating the joy, happiness and thankfulness you feel toward people in your life. It’s important to remember that there are no stipulations on who those people can be. Tomorrow should be about expressing those feelings not only toward significant others, but toward family, friends and, above all, yourself. What better person to love more? You can take this opportunity to treat yourself to a nice meal or heart-shaped candies. There’s
also nothing wrong with buying your own teddy bear. Do whatever makes you feel great. Take this time to pat yourself on the back for all your hard work, accomplishments and progress you’ve made in the last year. Appreciate and reflect on your current place in life and be happy to be alive. It is often said that you have to love yourself before you can truly love someone else, so spending Valentine’s Day with you is just as important. Personally, I will be expressing my love for God and celebrating how far I’ve come in this past year. I have lot to be thankful for, and I’m not going to waste my time sulking because I’m not in a relationship. And FYI, you can still be in a relationship and feel alone on the Valentine’s Day, so don’t get caught up in the hype. Stop focusing on having a date — you will have your time, and it will be well worth the wait. But if you are in a relationship, still make the effort to reach out to others. At the end of the day, life is short and as long as you spend the day loving somebody, you’ll be doing it right. Take it from Miss Love herself!

Media mistrust used to push conspiracies ADAM SMITH Opinions columnist
L
ast year, on the 11th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, a group of about 150 militants — armed with rocket-propelled grenades, assault rifles, machine guns and truck-mounted heavy artillery — launched a latenight attack against an annex of the United States diplomatic mission to Libya, in the Mediterranean port city of Benghazi. It was sudden and swift and deadly. They entered the compound under the cover of a grenade barrage and moved toward the main building, inside of which was the U.S. ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens. The attackers poured diesel fuel over everything in sight — furniture, walls, floors — and lit them on fire. Agents from the nearby CIA outpost attempted soon after to secure the area, but it was too late for four of our own: Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, security guards and former SEALs; Sean Smith, a Foreign Service officer; and Ambassador Stevens, who died of smoke inhalation while trapped inside the compound. It’s been five months since the events of Sept. 11, 2012, and the chickenhawks have officially lost it. Chickenhawks are elected officials perpetually inclined to wage war without ever having participated in military activities, and the Republican Party seems to have an unfortunate surplus of them. Chickenhawks pushed for an invasion of Iraq based on, at best, shaky evidence that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. For the last five months, the same Republican chickenhawks that have been advocating for an unnecessary war with Iran — most vocally,
Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte — have promoted another incredibly dangerous set of theories. They claim that Susan Rice, the American ambassador to the United Nations, propagated false information on the attack and its causes to cover up incompetence on the part of the Obama administration; that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not even make an attempt to save those wounded and killed in Benghazi; and, most stupendously, that President Obama himself had remained idle while his own diplomatic agents were murdered. On last Sunday’s Face the Nation, Graham (who once claimed to be a Desert Storm veteran, despite his never having left reservist status) told CBS’s Bob Schieffer that he would place a senatorial hold on the confirmations of former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel as defense secretary, and of John Brennan, President Obama’s counterterrorism adviser, as CIA chief. And what, pray tell, is Graham’s rationale for this latest round of obstructionism? Benghazi. Obviously. “I don’t think we should allow (a vote) ... until the White House gives us an accounting,” Graham said. “What did the president do?” Is he serious? We’re not going to let such a perfectly mundane senatorial task as voting on a cabinet appointment happen because a few crazy people think there’s a giant conspiracy. Yes, sir, said Graham. “I want to know who changed the talking points. Who took the references to Al Qaeda out of the talking points given to Susan Rice? We still don’t know.” Sen. Graham, would you like to know why the talking points were
The mishandling of the situation in Benghazi ... by the press and by politicians is indicative of a larger problem.

University’s health insurance covers a myriad of maladies BY BAILEY BRYANT STAFF WRITER
After a night out, a glow stickclad student is sprawled face up on the couch in his apartment. His shoes have not been removed and his mouth hangs slightly ajar. In attempts to wake the unresponsive party-goer, his friends shake his shoulders and gently tap his face, but the efforts are ineffective. Unanimously, the group decides a hospital trip is necessary. Kimberly Dalluge, department manager of the University Student Health Insurance, has heard many variations of this story from University health insurance holders, but her response is always the same: It’s covered. In fact, despite the common misconception held by students, Dalluge said there’s not much that University insurance doesn’t cover. “We cover so much more than (accidents),” Dalluge said. “I don’t think the average student really understands that because they’ve been with Mom and Dad and they’ve never had to worry.” In addition to accidents, University insurance covers preventative care, physical therapy, congenital diseases and several types of immunization. Birth control, emergency contraception and diaphragm insertion and

removal are fully covered for students with University insurance, as are BRCA tests for breast cancer, routine checkups and chiropractic procedures. Dental and vision are not covered for most students, but discounts are available. Restrictions apply to University insurance coverage, however. If an injury is sustained while a student’s blood alcohol level is above the legal limit, that injury usually isn’t covered. “If you get hit in the head with a flying beer can, that’s not your fault, so you’re probably going to be covered, but if you break your arm while intoxicated, you probably won’t be,” Dalluge said. Additionally, student insurance includes a maximum $200,000 worth of coverage per occurrence for undergraduates and $1 million for graduate students. Students are still covered if they study or travel abroad. Kiaralis Rodriguez, freshman in LAS, said she was surprised to learn the extent of her coverage as a University insurance holder. “I thought since it was school insurance it wouldn’t cover much,” Rodriguez said. “I just thought it would cover the common cold, the flu shot and stuff like that.” After learning about the benefits, Rodriguez said she plans
to start taking advantage of her plan. “I feel like I don’t have to be so careful with my life now,” Rodriguez said jokingly. While students can opt out of University insurance, all students must pay the health service fee. According to Dr. Robert Palinkas, director of McKinley Health Center, this $230-persemester fee helps finance McKinley Health Center and the Counseling Center and helps keep the price of medications at McKinley low. Palinkas added that because everyone pays this fee, all students can take advantage of the Counseling Center, McKinley and the inexpensively priced medication. “Frankly, the most important thing that we would like to get out to students is that we are here for them,” Palinkas said. “We are their lowest cost, most convenient and most private way to obtain health care.” For information on student insurance coverage, visit healthcare.gov or attend the student health insurance meeting on Feb. 25 in Illini Room A of the Illini Union from 4 to 5 p.m.

A worker handles meat at the Doly-Com slaughterhouse, one of the two units checked by Romanian authorities in the horse meat scandal, in the village of Roma, Romania, on Tuesday. In the United Kingdom, authorities raided a slaughterhouse and meat processing company suspected of selling horsemeat labeled as beef.
Raid reveals British slaughterhouse illegally selling horsemeat as beef BY SYLVIA HUI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — British authorities on Tuesday raided a slaughterhouse and a meat processing company suspected of selling horsemeat labeled as beef for kebabs and burgers, shutting them down temporarily and seizing all the meat found. It was the first time since the growing scandal broke across Europe that horsemeat being marketed as beef has been traced to suppliers in Britain, officials said, raising questions about how widespread the practice is. Millions of burgers and frozen meals have been recalled around Europe and many accusations have been made, but so far it’s not clear how horsemeat got introduced into so many beef products. French authorities have already pointed to an elaborate supply chain that involved Romanian butchers and Dutch and Cypriot traders that resulted in horsemeat disguised as beef being sold in meals like lasagna and moussaka to consumers around the continent. Britain’s Food Standards Agency said it suspended production at the Peter Boddy slaughterhouse in northern England’s Yorkshire
and a company it allegedly supplied horse carcasses to, Farmbox Meats, in west Wales. The agency said it was investigating how “meat products, purporting to be beef for kebabs and burgers, were sold when they were in fact horse.” “It is shocking that we actually found this practice going on within the U.K.,” Environment Secretary Owen Patterson said. Horsemeat is taboo in Britain and Ireland, though in France it is sold in specialty butcher shops. While no health effects have been reported, the scandal has unsettled consumers and made clear that unscrupulous dealers in the complicated network of meat wholesalers are benefiting from selling cheaper horsemeat as beef. Peter Boddy, the owner of the slaughterhouse, said he would cooperate with police, while the BBC quoted a spokesman from Farmbox Meats as saying “there is nothing we have done here which is not totally permissible.” Food Standards Agency director Andrew Rhodes said the companies appeared to be involved in “blatant misleading of customers.” He declined to speculate on how long such alleged fraud may have gone on, saying only that officials
have seized documents — including customer lists — from the two venues and are investigating how much horsemeat was sold as beef to how many people. Horses are slaughtered legally in abattoirs across Britain, and the meat is exported to countries where horsemeat is eaten. Meanwhile, authorities on the continent have not established where the mislabeling of horse as beef occurred. In Romania, food safety officials said Tuesday that the country produced 6,300 tons of horse, mule and donkey meat last year, and that it was correctly labeled when it was exported from 35 authorized plants to other European countries. Romanian officials have said the fraud occurred somewhere else down the line. “We have always watched closely the way we work here ... and we can guarantee one hundred percent that all the products Doly Com puts on the market are certified from a quality and origin point of view. One hundred percent,” said Iulian Cazacut, the plant’s general manager, where horsemeat accounts for just five percent of the plant’s business.
Four Loko makers changing cans to settle deceptive marketing claims BY JENNIFER C. KERR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The makers of a popular carbonated alcoholic drink guzzled on college campuses are going to be changing the look of its Four Loko cans to settle the government’s charges of deceptive marketing. The Federal Trade Commission said Tuesday that Chicago-based Phusion Projects will be required to put an “alcohol facts panel” on the back of flavored malt beverage cans containing more than two servings of alcohol. The panel, similar to “nutritional facts” labels found on foods, would disclose the alcohol by volume and the number of servings in the container.
Phusion also will have to redesign cans of drinks containing more than 2 ½ servings of alcohol so they can be resealed and the drink wouldn’t have to be consumed in one sitting. The FTC had accused Phusion of implying in ads that its supersized 23.5-ounce can of Four Loko was equal to one or two regular 12-ounce beers. In fact, the agency says, the can — which contains up to 12 percent alcohol — is really more like four to five beers. Company co-founder Jaisen Freeman said Phusion did not agree with the allegations, but considered the agreement a way to move forward. “We share a common interest with the FTC in providing con-
sumers with information and packaging options to help them make informed, responsible decisions,” Freeman said. The commission had initially proposed a deal with Phusion requiring new label disclosures on products with more than 2 1/2 servings of alcohol. But the agency was flooded with complaints about the dangers of the supersized drinks, especially with underage drinkers — so it lowered the disclosure trigger to more than two servings of alcohol. In a number of public comments, the commission was urged to ban the drink altogether. But the FTC says it has no jurisdiction to force the product off the market.

RIDE THE RAIL 4.5 C
GALLONS When you finish Ride the Rail, you will have drank 4.5 gallons of beer. If that beer were gas, it would take a Toyota Prius (type c) 238.5 miles on the highway. That would take you from Champaign to Milwaukee.
PATRICK KELLEY Staff writer
ollege students rarely need an excuse to drink, but oftentimes campus bars will give them one — especially for nontraditional party nights. Kam’s has Country Night on Tuesday, Cly’s has Wine Night also on Tuesday, and Legends has Ride the Rail on Tuesdays and Sundays. Unlike the aforementioned themed nights, Ride the Rail has a tangible goal for bar-goers: knock off every beer on your rail card. If you decide to tackle this long-term task, you’re taking on the challenge of drinking three glasses each of 15 different beers (and three repeats of your choice) for a total of 48 beers. Upon completion, you, the victorious Rail Rider, will be enshrined for eternity on a plaque next to the Legends pool tables and will receive a T-shirt signifying your accomplishment, but at what cost to your body and wallet?

In the game that ended his monthlong slump, the senior’s buzzer-beater beat No. 1 Indiana, sending Assembly Hall into a frenzy BY THOMAS BRUCH STAFF WRITER
Editor’s note: The Daily Illini sports desk sits down Sunday nights and decides which Illinois athlete or coach is our Illini of the Week. Student-athletes and coaches are evaluated by individual performance and contribution to team success.
T
yler Griffey stares at the computer screen, squinting occasionally to focus in on the grainier qualities of the YouTube video that’s playing. Griffey has the look of man in transience; he is five days removed from personally sealing the biggest victory of his life but also determinedly on a mission to stake his team to an NCAA tournament berth. Still basking in the glory of defeating the No. 1 team in the country. Still mindful of his team’s 4-7 conference record. The fi rst video he’s about to watch starts. Even though Griffey was one year and 28 days away from uttering his first breath of life, he knows, almost immediately, the context of the video. “Nick Anderson. Against Indiana.”
The video shows former Illinois guard Nick Anderson’s buzzer-beater in 1989 to topple Bob Knight’s No. 3-ranked Hoosiers. Anderson’s team, known as the Flyin’ Illini, advanced to the Final Four that season. Griffey is clearly impressed by the degree of difficulty in Anderson’s shot. “He barely looked at the basket. Crazy.” Now the second video, and Griffey smiles knowingly, recognizing the footage before the audio even kicks in. Dee Brown is firing a pass cross court to Deron Williams, who makes the slightest of shot fakes and takes one dribble to his left before rising up. Griffey remembers exactly where he was when Illinois came back from 15 points down to beat Arizona in the 2005 Elite Eight: He was in eighth grade, watching the game with his dad. Illinois
had not recruited Griffey yet, but he was a college basketball fan and loved watching “these guys.” “I had goosebumps, man,” Griffey says as Williams’ shot splashes through the net. “Still get goosebumps. Just the implications ...” That Illinois team eventually advanced to the Final Four as well. And then Griffey winds up watching the last video, in which he sees his own likeness beating the buzzer, his own masterpiece. But as the famous French author and Nobel Prize winner Andre Gide once said, “No human m a s te r pi e c e has ever been created without great labor.” Tyler Griffey, it’s safe to say, had been laboring before the Indiana game. The senior sharpshooter had not made a 3-pointer since a Jan. 2 loss to Purdue. In the game right before Indiana, Griffey played eight minutes and accumulated

Just like that, life moves on. It’s one of the many lessons Taylor University head coach Paul Patterson etched into the fabric of his apprentice, Illini head coach John Groce. So after Groce’s Illini lost seven of their first nine games to start the Big Ten season, they forgot about the past. Struggling forward Tyler Griffey found his stroke and completed a buzzer-beating layup on Thursday, capturing an upset over No. 1 Indiana that ended in a stampede of fans invading the floor at Assembly Hall. Then Sunday, the Illini defeated thenNo. 18 Minnesota in a close game on the road for the program’s first back-to-back wins against ranked opponents in three years. How do you follow a week like that? “For the most part, 18 to 22-year-olds are probably a little bit more resilient than we give them credit for,” Groce said. “Kids can forget faster than you think. I think that’s certainly true.” Now the Illini must erase their memories yet again. Their Jan. 2 game against Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind., was the first time a team really swung at the Illini and drew blood. Illinois had lost just one hard-fought game in Missouri during its nonconference schedule and were favored to beat the Boilermakers in both teams’ Big Ten opener. Illinois had a chance to tie down two points with 21 seconds left, but Purdue senior guard D.J. Byrd hustled for an offensive rebound off an errant free throw attempt by Jacob Lawson and snatched the ball and called a timeout while falling out of bounds. That was it for the Illini, who fell victim to Byrd’s toughness plays all night. “Byrd made a really big difference from a physicality and a toughness standpoint late in the game,” Groce said. “We’ve got to be better in those areas. I think no one wants to be out-toughed, certainly in your own building.”

Bollant has Illinois on pace for NCAA tournament bid
JACK CASSIDY
stormed the court my freshman year when Illinois beat No. 5 Michigan State in 2010. I still love that game. I remember it vividly. With time running out, Mike Davis received a long outlet pass, dunked the ball, turned around, raised his arms, then was mobbed by a sea of orange. Illinois 78, Michigan State 73. “Storm the court at an Illini game” got crossed off the bucket list that day. But in the weeks following the game, the storm left something of a bad taste in my mouth. Dick Vitale,who was part of the broadcast team for ESPN that game, pronounced the storming as over-the-top, chiding the fans as they hit the court. Other analysts took Vitale’s side. I defended the students’ decision. Absolutely. It was a huge win, a huge upset and the crowd was wired from start to finish. It was the appropriate way to end the day. And yet, something about it still didn’t sit right. The fact that I had to defend the decision at all somewhat took away from the moment, if only a little bit. All you want to do after a win like that is watch the replay

Indiana game was perfect time to storm the court
Illinois focuses on Purdue after wins
BRENTON TSE THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Brandon Paul celebrates with the Orange Krush after Illinois’ win over No. 1 Indiana at Assembly Hall on Thursday. The win was the perfect time to storm the court, according to Jack Cassidy. over and over to relive the moment, and I couldn’t do that without hearing a smug Dickie V and thinking of the critics. The damn outsiders wouldn’t let us have our moment. It was still an AWESOME day — one of the best — but it wasn’t perfect. In hindsight, those outsiders’ cases have some credence. Michigan State had lost its last game before coming to Champaign, so the No. 5 ranking was empty. The Spartans were also playing without their best player. Again, the win wasn’t perfect. Last Thursday’s win against Indiana was perfect. We all know what happened by now. Comeback against arch-rival No. 1 Indiana, capped off with a buzzer-beater by the unlikely hero. Almost a week later, I still have to remind myself every morning when I wake up that it was, in fact, not a dream. Sometimes I’m not persuaded. It has all the makings of a dream. In a
dream, you go from place to place — like the bleachers to center court — without fully understanding how. Your cognitive faculties aren’t fully functioning, so you might do things like run, jump, yell, scream and storm without your brain’s permission. In a dream, you’re out of body. In a dream, unrealistic things become reality. After Thursday, I understood the critics of my freshman-year storm a bit more clearly. In that game, as the clock approached zero, the game was in hand. We had won. A murmur began to rise among the students. “Should we storm?” We looked around and all gave silent approval, and when the buzzer sounded, we followed through on our plans. Against Indiana, there was no discussion. There were no plans. No agreement. No thought process whatsoever.

The current Illini seniors were in sixth grade the last time the Illinois women’s basketball team made the NCAA tournament, and Matt Bollant was in his first year as head coach at NAIA Bryant College. But that may change in Bollant’s first year at Illinois. Just 23 games into his tenure with the Illini, Bollant has Illinois (14-9, 7-4 Big Ten) in fourth place in the Big Ten and, according to some experts, on pace to make the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2003. Bollant has only missed one NCAA tournament during his five years as a head coach. In his fi rst season at Green Bay, Bollant’s team won the Horizon League championship but lost the conference tournament and was relegated to the WNIT. One expert who thinks Illinois will make the tournament is ESPN’s women’s basketball bracketologist Charlie Creme, who assigned the Illini a No. 9 seed in his bracket released Monday. But Bollant has seen bracketology be wrong before. In 2010, Creme did not have Bollant’s Green Bay squad in the NCAA tournament, but the Lady Phoenix made it into the tournament as a No. 12 seed and upset Virginia in the first round.

Still, Bollant doesn’t completely write bracketology off. “It’s kind fun to read those things, but there’s a lot of basketball to be played,” he said. “As we get closer, I follow it more. It’s interesting to see what seed they think you might deserve.” Senior Karisma Penn doesn’t follow bracketology but is glad to finally be in the conversation for an NCAA tournament bid. “It’s great to finally be recognized because we haven’t really had that,” Penn said. “I thought I would be in one before now. I didn’t think it would be my senior season, and I wouldn’t have played in it yet.”

Former football coach returns BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER
The last time Greg Colby roamed the sidelines for the Illinois football team, he helped lead the Illini to six bowl appearances in seven seasons. Back then, he was an assistant coach for outside linebackers and special teams back in 198895 and was a part of Illinois’ Big Ten Championship team in 1989. Colby is returning to his alma mater, where he was a threeyear starter. He was named Illinois’ new defensive line coach Tuesday. “Greg Colby brings a wealth of coaching experience and Fighting Illini historical football knowledge to our staff,� Illinois head coach Tim Beckman said in a news release. “(He) was a great student-athlete at Illinois, was on the coaching staff here for eight years and has worked at several different successful programs since. He has built some outstanding relationships with his extensive recruiting experience in the Chicagoland area. Greg understands what it means to be a Fighting Illini football player and what it takes to be suc-
MBBALL FROM PAGE 1B It’s no secret that Purdue has consistently out-toughed Illinois. Wednesday will be the Illini seniors’ last chance to beat the Boilermakers, something the group, remarkably, has never accomplished in seven tries. “It’s a big one for us,� Griffey said. “Aside for all the tournament implications and everything else, we have yet to beat them yet. We’re all looking forward to it.� Griffey has been paramount for the Illini’s turnaround as of late. Before Thursday’s game against Indiana, the senior forward was in an 0-for-20 rut from 3. With 16:09 left in the second half, Griffey nailed the slump-buster, cutting Indiana’s 11-point lead to single digits and awakening Assembly Hall from its coma. Most knew how long it’d been since one of Griffey’s usually silky-smooth 3’s had crossed through the net, and the senior used the momentum to finish the game with 14
cessful here. I have no doubt our players will respond very positively to him as a coach and as a person.� Colby joins new offensive line coach Jim Bridge and offensive coordinator Bill Cubit as new members to the Illinois coaching staff. The team now only has a wide receiver coach vacancy to fill its 2013 staff. Illinois is now confirming that former wide receiver coach Billy Gonzalez left the program. Gonzalez served as a co-offensive coordinator last season but was demoted when Cubit was hired. Colby resigned as the head coach at Millersville University, where he was 11-44 in five seasons. He brings previous Big Ten experience along with his time at Illinois, having been the defensive coordinator at Northwestern from 2002-07 and an assistant at Michigan State — where he worked under Nick Saban — in charge of the defensive line and outside linebackers and was a co-special teams coordinator from 1995-97. “I’m thrilled at the opportunity to come back,� Colby said. “When I left and went to Michigan State in 1995, it was the
intention to improve my coaching skills and come back here at some point in time, possibly finish my career here, and it has worked out. I’m going to do everything I can to help Coach Beckman take this program back to where it belongs, and in the short time I’ve been back on campus, I’m very confident that’s going to happen.� Colby is also a native of central Illinois. He grew up in Danville and graduated from Danville Schlarman High School in 1970. During his four years as a player, Illinois football went 19-24-1. Colby is given the task of replacing former defensive line coach Keith Gilmore, which won’t be easy. During Gilmore’s four seasons with the Illini, he helped coach and nurture NFL talent on the defensive line, including first-round picks Whitney Mercilus and Corey Liuget, and prospective draftees like Akeem Spence and Michael Buchanan. Gilmore left last month for a job with North Carolina.
points and eight boards, as well as one of the most important shots in Illinois men’s basketball history to knock off the top team in the country. Griffey followed Thursday’s game with 16 points on 4-for-7 attempts from 3, tying a career-high in buckets from distance in one game. Griffey wasn’t the only Illini under serious criticism during the trough of the team’s struggles. Certain members of the media had asked Groce if he’d considered benching guard D.J. Richardson, who also hit a rough patch from 3. The firstyear coach defended his senior. Richardson has scored 36 points over the Illini’s last two wins on 12-of-24 shooting with seven 3-pointers. Groce, who made a point of acknowledging Byrd’s heart at Tuesday’s press conference, said Richardson has most emulated the toughness of Purdue’s star guard since the Illini turned the corner against Indiana. “I recall not too long ago sitting in a room similar to this where I basically said the people in here are going to have to get it through their skulls that
he’s going to continue to shoot,� Groce said Tuesday. “That kid cares at a high level. I meant what I said earlier when he wasn’t shooting well, ‘I ain’t trading him for anybody.’� Groce called this series of games an “interesting stretch� because Wednesday’s game at Assembly Hall will be the Illini’s third in the last seven days. Accordingly, Groce has tried to limit the stress on his players’ legs and bodies to assure they keep fresh and maintain the energy that’s proven successful over the last two games. Groce did mention one more thing he’s tried to keep fresh. His players’ minds will have to be on target to beat Purdue for the first time since Feb. 8, 2009. “The teams that focus on getting better every day in February and March, when it starts to become a grind a bit, are the teams that get better at the end of the year and end up maxing out and meeting their potential,� Groce said. “We want to be one of those teams.�

GRIFFEY FROM PAGE 1B
Indiana, I remember the feeling. The best part: the replay. Both the radio and TV calls portray the same emotion I felt. When I see and hear those calls, I’m reminded of a moment of pure happiness. If there was ever a game to storm, that was it. Even Dickie V would approve. If that game happens to be the turning point of the season, great. But if not, whatever. There isn’t a thing that could ruin that perfect, perfect day.
he quickly clarifies. He still doesn’t know how he was so wide open. Indiana head coach Tom Crean said after the game that was unlike any out-of-bounds play Illinois had ever run before and that it was a broken play. Griffey says it was an option of a play the team has run since the very first days of practice. Regardless, returning to the video, no one is within 10 feet of Griffey when he receives the basketball directly under the basket. He is so unguarded that he considers dunking the ball. But 0.9 seconds is hardly any time. “I knew 0.4 is enough for a shot, and a dunk takes a little longer than a shot,� Griffey said. That momentary indecision might have inspired the most indelible imagery of the buzzer-beater. Griffey releases the ball, quickly throwing his arms up to emphasize that he shot it in time, as pandemonium envelops him from every direction. Teammates and rabid students have mobbed him. He even laughs while watching the madness on video as he recounts a particular embrace he had with Nnanna Egwu that knocked over head coach John Groce. It didn’t quite sink in right away, the whole gravity of Griffey’s masterpiece. Maybe it was Friday morning when it finally did. Mere hours after the realization, he was back at practice with his teammates preparing for then-No. 18 Minnesota. Illinois won that game Sunday, and Griffey played well, scoring 16 points. The slump never reared its unkindly head. Griffey has seven more regular season games to play as an Illini. His legacy hung in the balance less than a week ago, possibly to be defined by a slump that mired his final season. Instead, Griffey has his Illini moment for life. People will say Nick Anderson and Deron Williams. And then they’ll remember when Assembly Hall quivered as Tyler Griffey beat the Hoosiers at the buzzer.

CHONG JIANG THE DAILY ILLINI
Illinois’ Karisma Penn guards Minnesota’s Rachel Banham during Sunday’s win at Assembly Hall. The Illini are optimistic about their NCAA tournament bid chances.
WBBALL FROM PAGE 1B Penn turned down offers from Connecticut, Louisville and other top programs to play at Illinois. UConn has not missed the Final Four during Penn’s time in college. One unique aspect of Illinois’ tournament resume is that it was without senior Adrienne GodBold — the team’s top scorer — for the first 11 games of the season. During the stretch, Illinois went 6-5, a record that included losses to Illinois State and Bradley. Penn thinks GodBold could have made a difference. “If Nunu (GodBold) had been playing the first 11 games, we would be at the 20-win mark by now,� Penn said, suggesting that the Illini would be 20-3 if that were the case. Since GodBold has returned, Illinois is 8-4, with wins over then-No. 6 Georgia, then-No. 24 Iowa and at Nebraska, which has been on a six-game winning streak since. The NCAA selection committee will take this into account. “They will know what player was out and how that team performed without that player,� NCAA associate director Rick Nixon said in an email. “While teams earn their way into the tournament based on what they did during the regular season, seeding is a different
story and can be affected by the status of certain players. “Selection to the tournament field is based on what a team did, while seeding depends on who that team is now.� This means Illinois will be evaluated on its entire body of work for tournament admission, but the team’s current makeup will decide the team’s seed. Bollant expects the NCAA to look more closely at Illinois’ conference play because of GodBold’s absence in the nonconference season. Illinois has five regular season games remaining. Three home games are against Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio State, which are not expected to make the NCAA tournament. The two road games left on the schedule present opportunities for quality wins at No. 8 Penn State and No. 18 Purdue. Bollant said he is confident his team will play in the NCAA tournament if it finishes with a 10-6 Big Ten record or in the top six of the conference. The Illini find themselves in good position to make the tournament. Illinois is tied with Michigan for fourth in the Big Ten and has the seventh-best RPI in the conference at 54. “We’ve been on the upswing since Big Ten play has started,� Penn said. “But we have to finish the season strong.�

There was only bliss. In an instant, I was off the bleachers and on flat surface. Then I was face down on the ground. Then I was up and at center court. Then I was cheering and hugging strangers. I remember those moments, but I don’t fully remember how I arrived there. Court storming the Michigan State game was a plan followed through on. Court storming the Indiana game was an act of passion.
