Once again,
the NCAA tournament has proven that no lead is big enough, and no lead is safe,
at least until the final buzzer sounds.
No. 1 seed Illinois, playing with a virtual home-court advantage just a car
ride from its Champaign, Ill., campus, overcame a 15-point Wildcat lead with
4:04 left to send the game into overtime, and eventually won 90-89.
We knew we were the better team tonight, but the best team played the full game
and we only played 36 minutes," UA freshman guard Jawann McClellan said.
Arizona had the final shot of the game in overtime, after junior forward Hassan
Adams grabbed his eighth rebound of the game, but Adams missed a 3-point shot
as time expired. [Read

While the
Oklahoma State big men were undersized during the Cowboys' Sweet 16 loss to
Arizona, they were not as overmatched in height as Illinois should be Saturday,
when the top-ranked Illini face the No. 3 seed Wildcats at 5 p.m. MST in
Allstate Arena.
The Illini start 6-foot-10 forward James Augustine and 6-foot-6 forward Roger
Powell up front, neither of whom do much with their backs to the basket.
Arizona's starting frontcourt, senior center Channing Frye and sophomore
forward Ivan Radenovic will look to take advantage of the size differential
even more so than in the regional semifinal. [Read

The
mother was glaring disapprovingly at me, and I couldn't find it in myself to
fault her for it.
It was a typical Friday morning. I was giving a tour for visiting high school
seniors, and I had just told her that her son might not be able to receive the
same scholarship package that I had. Trying her hand at redundancy, she
insisted that he was an "extremely, extraordinarily, amazingly talented
student." I could do nothing but shrug, hoping to distract her by pointing to
our "exquisite" new Alumni Plaza.

Photography may be the most accurate visual representation of reality, while
sculpture can offer the most abstract and symbolic representation of reality.
But the Museum of Contemporary Art's new exhibit uniquely combines the two with
the exhibits "Dave Lewis: State Furniture" and "Dan Budnik: David Smith at
Work."
As a part of their Origins series that examines the roots of post-modern art,
this exhibition presents Budnik's poignantly real photography of the great 20th
century sculptor David Smith as a compliment to Lewis' socially critical
sculpture exhibit that examines power. [Read

From drunken fraternity guys and conspiracy theorists to bug-eyed weirdoes who
just creep you out, the strangest customers who enter the U-Mart, always leave
a lasting impression on the shop's employees, who just want a little courtesy
and respect for their hard work.
Instead, workers occasionally get a mess to clean up or an eye full of spittle
from some screaming customer upset that the cashier doesn't want to play 20
questions while other angry customers wait in line.
Despite the various fields and numerous courses available to the students at the
UA, it seems that some things are not necessarily taught - or learned - in the
classroom. [Read
