Top-seeded, No. 8 ranked, NCAA tournament-bound Oregon (28-6) made history on March 12 by winning both the outright regular season and tournament title. Oregon ran Utah out of the gym 88-57 at Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The margin of victory was the largest in Pac-12 Tournament Championship game history, breaking the mark set by Arizona in its win over Oregon a year ago.

Turnovers were forced 20 to be exact. Points were scored off those turnovers 28 to be exact. Team defense was unforgiving Utah finished the game 19-of-44 from the floor (43.2 percent). The ball was shared Tyler Dorsey (23 points), Dillon Brooks (18 points), Chris Boucher (15 points) and Elgin Cook (11 points) all finished in double figures.

It was really just teamwork, Boucher said. We won as champions. Were champions as a team.

Most notable, Oregon limited Pac-12 Player of the Year Jakob Poeltl to 13 points on six shot attempts. Poeltl,

Utahs leading scorer and only player in double figures, also coughed up the ball five times.

We lost this game basically in the first half, at the end of the first half, said Poeltl. We didnt have the energy or focus to come back from those easy baskets we gave them from the mistakes we made.

Clich or not, Oregon realized the simple importance of playing for one another heading into the season, and turned that mentality into a memorable finish to the conference season in March.

There is a reason why Cook was named Pac-12 Tournament MVP. There is a reason why four of Oregons five starters were named to the All-Tournament team: Dorsey, Cook, Boucher and Brooks.

It means were a good team, and when we work together, we can do great things, Boucher said. We always said that from the beginning.

This team utilized its many weapons Bouchers blocking, Dorseys three-point shooting, Brooks mastery of the mid-range game, Cooks finishing touch at the

rim and manipulated its opponents all season.

These diverse skills made them difficult to guard and allowed them to win their second conference tournament title in four years.

Everybody works together and everybody is talented, Boucher said

The day before the game, Brooks told a small circle of media members that he wanted to make history. After all the confetti had fallen, Brooks wishes had come true.

It means so much, said Brooks. My name being in Oregons history is a beautiful thing. I can look back and Ill remember every single one of these players, and every single one of the managers and every single one of the coaching staff because this season was special.

After losing in the semifinals, Arizonas Sean Miller called Oregon one of college basketballs best teams because of how well they play together.

For those that have been around the game, that is the ultimate compliment.

What we did as a whole collective group, its a special thing, Brooks said.

Quinn Haaga, Zach Rentschler and Samara Mokaya will run as presidential candidates for next years ASUO president position. The candidates slates Im with UO, One Oregon and Duck Squad, respectively were also confirmed.

According to the rules, students can run together for multiple open seats as a cam-paign or they can run independently for any position they want. Election board chair Abraham Youhana said there is a significant number of independent applicants this year. According to the ASUO website, more than 100 candidates have filed petitions this year. Although March 10 was the deadline to ap-ply, the election board extended it to March 11 due to a technical problem with the ASUO online system.

Candidates must wait until March 21 to start their campaign on social media and March 28 to ground campaign on cam-pus. The vote will open on Duckweb and the UOregon mobile app April 4 at 9 a.m. Besides ASUO President, students will also vote for ASUO senate and members of finance committees.

The ASUO president oversees ASUO programs and acts as the official spokesper-son for UO students. The president has the authority to make such rules as are neces-sary to ensure the fair and efficient operation of ASUO agencies and programs, according to the Green Tape Notebook.

ASUO senators are responsible for al-locating the incidental fee and representing the interest of students. Senators must serve dual roles as either finance committee mem-bers or academic representatives.

Youhana emphasized that student groups and fraternity and sorority chapters cannot contribute to campaigns monetarily, or by providing rooms or sponsorships.

The Voter Guide, a website produced by students of the School of Journalism and Communication, will be available by April 4, Voter Guide member Carter Fritsch said. Stu-dents will be able to find information on the candidates and the positions theyre running for on the interactive platform.

Fritsch also said the Division of Student Life will send a mass email to the student body when the Voter Guide is online and encourages students to vote.

The University of Oregon and the city of Eugene made headlines a few weeks ago when KEZI News reported that Barrys Espresso and Bakery, the coffee shop and deli next to the UO campus, would be replaced by a cannabis shop called Caspers. The story emphasized the outrage of loyal Barrys customers and the growing petition to boycott the cannabis shop as a way to save the bakery.

The real story is a little less controversial.

It is true that an online petition to boycott Caspers started by UO student Hallie Frost has gathered over a thousand signatures. But Frost said the intention of the petition was never to save Barrys, but to voice frustration at its closing.

Not only is Barrys unique and beloved, but to replace it with yet another dispensary, even before legalization [of marijuana] in Oregon was ubiquitous, is a disservice to our community, Frost said.

Barrys owner, Barry Stiegel, said that he has known for the past two and a half years that the building manager would not be offering him a new lease once the current one expired this year. He has been prepared to close the campus location for some time.

Look, I appreciate that people are sad to see us go, said Stiegel, but there really isnt any controversy here. We will still be operating out of the other location.

Barrys other location is on Oak Street in south Eugene. That location was the original shop Stiegel opened 20 years ago. He opened the campus shop about 13 years ago.

Myron Brandwine, manager of Caspers, said that he had always known Caspers would be moving into the bigger space that Barrys currently occupies, even before they opened up shop above Barrys on Jan. 4.

Im Barrys biggest customer; I eat there three times a day, Brandwine said. But boycotting us is like being angry at a new apartment tenant because you liked the old one more.

Brandwine said he even signed the petition to boycott his store as a sign of good faith.

I totally get why people are angry to see Barrys go, Brandwine said, and to those people I say: commit to going to his other location.

Brandwine says that the petition hasnt affected his business much, but he has heard customers asking about the news story that broke earlier this month.

Sys Pizza, which is next door to Barrys and Caspers, owns the entire building. Sys management did not respond to requests for comment.

Barrys is set to close its doors on May 27. Caspers plans to be fully functioning at that location soon after.

Barrys closure was anticipated

Martin Luther King Jr.s I have a dream quote has returned to the EMU. The quotes removal was the subject of considerable national debate in January, but a university official says it was always going to return. The university points to miscommunication and a lack of fact checking for the media firestorm.

Earlier this term, the Emerald released an article about the EMU Board briefly addressing whether the MLK quote should be replaced with another quote that included more diverse representation. The idea that this quote wasnt sufficiently diverse spread like wildfire, with over a dozen national media outlets picking it up.

Laura McGinnis is a UO communications specialist. When media outlets started contacting the university, she worked with Laurie Woodward, the EMU director, and a source cited in the original MLK article published by the Emerald; however, it wasnt until a few pieces had already been published that any outside media attempted to contact the university.

We saw it being picked up by so many news outlets and we never received a phone call, McGinnis said. Nobody from the university received a phone call until Jesse Watters team contacted Laurie. And that was several days in after they had already written their own piece, not calling anybody. Watters is a journalist for Fox News.

McGinnis said the universitys number one priority throughout all of this was maintaining the safety of the student population, specifically the one student who was cited in the story and received the majority of the criticism online.

Before taking her position at the UO, McGinnis worked in suicide prevention. She helped social media sites like Twitter and Facebook keep

their privacy policies tight and in a condition that could combat cyber bullying.

I absolutely saw [bullying] as a risk that could happen to this student. It would not take much for this individual to be the victim of hate and vitriol, said McGinnis. She stressed that the university was absolutely there and willing to provide any resources for the student receiving hate as well as for any writers that experienced backlash.

University employees said the strangest part was that these attacks seemed to come out of left field. The original conversation within the board hadnt even begun as a discussion to change the MLK quote.

It was a discussion that the board had. The quote went back up and everyone was happy about the quote going back up, Woodward said. I showed them two different displays, and it was about a choice between the two different displays, and the conversation broadened.

The board felt the issue was resolved before media outlets focused on the discussion, ignoring the decision to keep the quote up in the EMU.

McGinnis blamed a lack of fact checking for the whole situation.

Theres a reason that we care about ethics. Theres a reason that we care about investigation, that we study what we do and we want to make it right. From a journalistic perspective, integrity means a lot and its only as good as what youre putting out, said McGinnis. It was a little discomforting from that perspective, but especially when you looked at what outlets were choosing to highlight and that was a quote attributed to a student that had simply expressed an opinion.

PERSONALITIES

GEORGE MARTINS MOST MEMORABLE

BEATLES CONTRIBUTIONS C R A I G W R I G H T , @ W G W C R A I G

ir George Martin, the legendary Beatles producer, has joined a tragically long list of music icons who have passed away recently at the age of 90. Paul McCartney said If anyone earned the title of the fifth Beatle, it was George. Martins career extended far beyond the Beatles and he produced numerous No. 1 records, won Grammy awards, composed an Academy Award-nominated score and was knighted by the Queen of England in 1996.

The Beatle-Martin partnership was born after the band auditioned for Parlophone Records in 1962. Martin was summoned to hear The Beatles play Love Me Do, at which point he realized their potential. At the end of the session he offered his thoughts about where the band was going wrong. He asked the group if they disliked anything he had suggested, to which George Harrison replied, Well for a start, I dont like your tie.

Together, they made 22 singles and 13 albums. It was enough to change the course of popular music forever.

The University of Oregon offers an entire course dedicated to The Beatles and Their Times. Professor Carl Woideck had this to say about Martins relationship with the Beatles:

Its hard to imagine the Beatles recordings without George Martin. Sure, they would have been a great live band, but would they have been challenged and encouraged to record Tomorrow Never Knows, Eleanor Rigby, Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever? Another, more conventional, producer might not have been receptive to the Beatles desires to change and grow as musicians. Lennon and McCartney started out writing teen pop, and lots of record companies would have wanted them to keep churning out more of the same. Thats why having a creative ally like George Martin was so important.

Please Please Me: John Lennon wrote this song as a slow Roy Orbison-style ballad. Martin suggested they try the song at double time, and after hearing the result he famously announced, Congratulations, gentlemen. Youve just made your first number one.

In My Life: Martins piano solo adds an eerie baroque feel that perfectly blends with Lennons song about his Liverpool upbringing. Although it sounds like a harpsichord, it is actually a piano played at half speed and verispeeded to tempo in production. The Beatles would continue to manipulate tapes in post-production, which led to some of the greatest songs in history, In My Life included.

Tomorrow Never Knows: How many producers would be willing to let a band run wild on a song with only one chord and lyrics based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead? The inclusion of the drum loop, high-pitched seagull-like sounds (actually McCartney laughing in reverse and at a faster speed), a sitar and more tape loops created a psychedelic masterpiece. Martin also plays the piano outro, adding a nice touch of finality to the masterful 1966 album Revolver.

Eleanor Rigby: As the first Beatles song on which none of the Fab Four play an instrument, it still managed to reach number one on the charts due to the orchestral score Martin provided. With lyrics about death and loneliness, the Beatles again proved they were a band capable of saying much more than just Thank You Girl.

Strawberry Fields Forever: At the peak of his LSD days, Lennon presented Martin with a unique challenge for Strawberry Fields: Connect two takes in different keys and different tempos. By speeding up the slower first take and slowing down the second fast version with thundering drums, Martin was able to accomplish the impossible by splicing the two together in a seamless take added flourishes include backwards cymbals, and Martins trumpet and cello score. This song alone required 55 hours in the studio.

A Day In The Life: John Lennon and Paul McCartney both brought incomplete and unrelated song ideas to the studio that were initially connected with a 24-measure gap counted by road manager Mal Evans and an alarm clock. With a little help from Martin and a 40-person orchestra, the two ideas were fused together with an orchestral fill that began at each players lowest note, crescendoing up to the highest note and volume possible in the 24 bars. The sustained final chord of the song played by two pianos and Martin on harmonium adds a final air of mystery to Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Also, Lennon blows a dog whistle at the end. The result is chaotic perfection.

Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!: The hallucinatory middle section with off-time, disorienting organ riffs is intentionally strange, as Lennon demanded the song sound like a fairground. Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick tossed a collection of organ tapes into the air and played them randomly after picking them back up. While the effect was not initially random enough, they proceeded to cut tape into smaller pieces, playing some forward and some backward. Eventually, the collage of swirling organ sounds satisfied Lennons demands.

Former UOPD chief Carolyn McDermed left her position abruptly on Feb. 26. (Cole Elsasser)


JANUARY JUNE SEPTEMBER FEBRUARY

Chief Carolyn McDermed left quietly and with no warning.

On Friday, Feb. 26, at 9:34 p.m. the staff at the University of Oregon Police Department found out its chief of nearly four years had retired via email. By Monday, she had been replaced.

McDermed had a full schedule for the following week. Her contract guaranteed her employment as chief until June 30. Upon retiring, the university paid out the rest of her contract $46,000. Retired UOPD captain Pete Deshpande was named interim police chief until a full-time replacement is found.

McDermed is the third chief in a row to leave the department suddenly. The UOPD has not had a permanent chief finish his or her contract in a decade. Former officers say UOPDs management has been unprofessional and unstable.

In October 2012, McDermed fired a young officer named James Cleavenger, who then brought a lawsuit against UOPD, alleging wrongful termination and retaliation from other officers. The university lost the lawsuit and $755,000 in damages to Cleavenger last summer, and $36,000 of the total stemmed directly from McDermeds involvement in his termination.

The university filed motions to appeal the courts decision, but those motions were denied by a federal judge on Feb. 29 the next business day after McDermed retired.

In 2014, the Bowl of Dicks List, was leaked, a list of people and things UOPD night shift officers felt should eat a bowl of dicks. The story was picked up by many national media outlets, adding to the scrutiny over McDermeds management.

But the scandals under McDermeds leadership are symptoms of shaky management that began much earlier than McDermeds tenure.

I personally went through five directors while I was there for 10 years, thats quite a few, said former officer Elizabeth Nix. She served on the department from 2000 to 2010. The constant

turnover in leadership created an unstable atmosphere in the department.

It affected the morale. It affected the feeling, she said. Some [directors] would be a little more restrictive with things; some would come and lay down the hammer, like, Youve been doing it this way, but you cant do that anymore, or You need to start doing this, even though youve never done this.

Part of the recent instability at the department can also be traced to UOPDs transition from a department of public safety to the sworn police department it is now. That transition began in 2012, a few months before McDermed took over as chief.

When prior chief Kevin Williams stepped down suddenly and without explanation in 2009, an Emerald investigation found that two top department officials spent $3,300 of the departments training budget on parking and a golfing conference in Florida while other officers were denied training on how to deal with mental health situations. The university declined to provide details of Williams departure, citing Oregon privacy laws.

Doug Tripp was promoted to the position and served as director until 2012, when he, too, suddenly retired, only 20 days after renewing his contract for another year. Tripp served in an advisory capacity for the department until the end of his contract. McDermed inherited the police department after Tripp.

Ultimately, who leads the department is up to university administration, and thats where Nix felt the problems originated. She felt that there was consistent, bad management despite who the director was.

A lot of the troubles that have plagued the department really have been management and upper-management type of issues, Nix said. It really isnt the people out there on the street doing their job.

Administration doesnt have a hand in the day-to-day department operations: some controversies, like the Bowl of Dicks list and parts of Cleavengers allegations, originated from one group of night shift officers.

Management styles may change going forward because UOPD is now overseen by Andre Le Duc in Enterprise Risk Services instead of the finance and administration department. Le Duc sees it as an evolution.

Ideally, yes, you dont want to have that much turnover, but weve had that in other places on the campus, Le Duc said. Public safety, five, six years ago, is nothing like what we have today, and hopefully what were going to be in two to three years. So I see it as a progression.

Le Duc is leading the search for the next chief. He plans on inviting candidates to campus to speak with students before the end of spring term.

We have an opportunity now to look at what is the next wave of leadership to take UOPD to the next stage? Le Duc said.

Interim Police Chief Deshpande said hes focusing on giving human resources a stronger presence in the department, in order to prevent internal problems from occurring again.

Deshpande acknowledged the turbulence of the UOPDs last few years. While he wouldnt address specific events like the Cleavenger trial, as they were set in motion before his arrival at the department, he did address his plans for the future.

He vows to begin addressing issues immediately, saying anything UOPD does in the department needs to be thoughtful, considered and sensible.

Deshpande does not plan on remaining the departments chief. While he doesnt know if hell be involved in the search, he is prepared to assist if asked. In the meantime, certainly, I will do everything I possibly can to move the department forward.

Oregon swept the NCAA Indoor Championships in Birmingham, Alabama, Saturday evening, marking the third time in a row the Duck men have come out on top and an improvement for the women after taking second last year.

The men clinched the race midway through the final day, winning with 62 points. Arkansas took second (39) and Tennessee finished third (34).

The women won with 53 points, edging Arkansas, who finished with 50. Georgia took third with 45.

Amidst the team celebrations, Edward Cheserek took his place on the track. The junior was preparing to compete in the mens 3000-meters race, trying to complete the triple after winning both the 5000-meters and distance medley relay running as the anchor on March 11.

At the gun Cheserek settled into the middle of the pack, as Willy Fink of Eastern Michigan jumped out to the lead. Fink led through the first 1600 meters. Cheserek made his move with three laps to go, moving into first.

He was able to hold on for the win, crossing in 8:00.40. Sean McGorty of Stanford took second (8:01.55) while Syracuse freshman Justyn Knight finished third (8:01.85).

Cheserek is just the second male athlete to ever win the 3k, 5k and DMR, joining former Duck and Olympian Galen Rupp.

The Oregon men picked up 13 points from Blake Haney and Sam Prakel in the mile. It was a slow start to the race, with the runners passing the halfway mark at 2:11. UTEP

freshman Jonah Koech and Virginia junior Henry Wynne battled early, each attempting to take control of the race.

Wynn eventually emerged victorious, winning with a time of 4:06.63. Haney took second (4:06.75) and Prakel finished fourth (4:07.06).

Sophomore Raevyn Rogers was also able to collect an individual win. She finished first in the womens 800-meter race with a time of 2:04.68. Rogers made a move with 150 meters left to take control of the race.

Devon Allen continued to make a statement after returning from injury, turning in an impressive victory in the mens 60-meter hurdles. Behind early, and after clipping several hurdles, he was able to power through the final strides for a close finish and personal record of 7.56.

In the womens 60-meter hurdles, Sasha Wallace took second place in 7.91, while teammate Alaysha Johnson scored a point by finishing eighth.

Oregons Alli Cash scored two points in the womens 3000-meters, finishing seventh.

For the first time in school history, the Oregon mens basketball team has earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Ducks, who are the top-seed in the West Region, will travel to Spokane, Washington, for the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament where they will face the winner of Holy Cross vs. Southern on Friday, March 18 in the first round.

Here are three teams that could stand in Oregons way on the road to the championship.

No. 2 Oklahoma (25-7, 12-6 Big 12): When your team has the best player in the nation, Buddy Hield (25 ppg), youre in every game. The Sooners were 19-2 entering the last third of the regular season before they faltered and went 5-5 the rest of the way. Oklahoma is a team that relies on the three-ball to win, shooting 42.6 percent from beyond the arc and averaging 80.4 ppg. If the Sooners can find their early season touch, this not a team you want to see late in March.

No. 3 Texas A&M (26-8, 13-5 SEC): The Aggies play with a ferocious defense and balanced offense to win games. Texas A&M fought its way through a four-game midseason losing streak to rebound with eight consecutive wins before falling to Kentucky in the conference championship. Jalen Jones and Danuel House provide a solid one-two punch, averaging 30.6 combined points.

No. 5 Baylor (22-11, 10-8 Big-10): What makes the Bears so dangerous is their size and physicality, with 6-foot-7, 275 pound Rico Gathers and 6-foot-9, 230 pound Johnathan Motley. Both players have the potential to cause Oregon fits down low, and if thats combined with the shooting of Taurean Prince and Al Freeman, the Bears might pull off the upset.

Here are the potential top three games of the West Region.

No. 7 Oregon State vs. No 2 Oklahoma (second round): Why not have the best offensive player in the Big-12 (Hield) go up against the best defensive player in the Pac-12 (Gary Payton II)?

No. 6 Texas vs. No. 3 Texas A&M (second round): Texas head coach Shaka Smart has brought his havoc defense to Texas and when that goes up against the Aggie guards Alex Caruso and Anthony Collins (combined 3.5 turnovers per game), something will have to give.

No. 1 Oregon vs. No. 2 Oklahoma (Elite Eight): Hield is a true star, while Oregon makes up for a lack of star power with depth. The Ducks will throw multiple bodies at Hield, but will it be enough to earn the teams first-ever trip to the Final Four?

Here are three players to watch from the West Region.

Buddy Hield, Guard, Oklahoma: Hield shoots 49.6 percent from the field, 46.4 percent from beyond the arc and 89.5 percent from the free throw line and has never shied away from the spotlight or the final shot.

Grayson Allen, Guard, Duke: Probably the most hated player in the country, Allen is considered a dirty player, but his offensive scoring capabilities are what hurts his opponents the most. Allen averages 21.6 ppg and much like Hield, already owns a game-winner.

Troy Caupain, Guard, Cincinnati: Caupain had a performance for the ages when he scored 37 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, not to mention hit big shot after big shot, in the Bearcats loss to Connecticut in the AAC tournament. On the biggest stage of the year thus far, Caupain proved hes ready to go.

WEST REGION (FIRST ROUND)

Spokane, Washington Friday, March 18 4:27 p.m. (TruTV)

No. 1 Oregon (28-6, 14-4 Pac-12): The Ducks are Pac-12 regular season and tournament champs. Although Oregon is only seven players deep, all seven contribute in many ways. Dillon Brooks (16.8 ppg) and Tyler Dorsey (13.8 ppg) score, Chris Boucher (3.1 bpg) and Casey Benson defend and Pac-12 tournament MVP Elgin Cook (14.5 ppg, 4.9 rpg) does it all.

vs.Holy Cross (14-19, 5-13 Pa-

triot): A true Cinderella story, the Crusaders won their conference tournament to earn the automatic bid behind Malachi Alexander (12.0 ppg) and Robert Champion (11.5 ppg).

Southern (22-12, 11-7 SWAC): Adrian Rodgers (16.6 ppg) and Trelun Banks (12.6 ppg) are the only Jaguars to average double figures.

**Southern and Holy Cross will play in an elimination game on Wednesday, March 16 at 3:40 p.m. (TruTV) with the winner facing Oregon in the next round.

Spokane, Washington Friday, March 18 6:57 p.m. (Truth)

No. 8 St. Josephs (27-7, 13-5 A-10): The Hawks are led by high scoring forwards Isiah Miles (18.2 ppg) and DeAndre Bembry (16.8 ppg). Both players average 35 minutes per game so stay-ing out of foul trouble is crucial to success.

vs.No. 9 Cincinnati (22-10, 12-6

American): The Bearcats thrive on defense with the 10th best scoring defense in the nation while four players average double figures in scoring.

Providence, Rhode Island Thursday, March 17 11:45 a.m. (CBS)

No. 5 Baylor (22-11, 10-8 Big-12): Size and physicality is what makes the Bears so dangerous as Rico Gathers (6-foot-7, 275 pounds) and Johnathan Motley (6-foot-9, 230 pounds) anchor down the paint while Taurean Prince (15.5 ppg) does the damage

scoring.vs.No. 12 Yale (22-6, 13-1 Ivy):

Makai Mason and Justin Sears both average 15.8 ppg and give the Bulldogs a terrific inside-out-side combination.

Providence, Rhode Island Thursday, March 17 9:15 a.m. (CBS)

No. 4 Duke (23-10, 11-7 ACC): Duke has no problem scoring as five players average double-figures, led by Grayson Allen (21.6 ppg) and Brandon Ingram (16.8 ppg). The problem is the Blue Devils cant stop anybody (72.1 ppg given up).

vs.No. 13 UNC-Wilmington (25-7,

14-4 CAA): Chris Flemmings (16.1 ppg, 5.9 rpg) does a little bit of everything for the Seawolves while Denzel Ingram provides the defense.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Fri-day, March 18 6:50 p.m. (TBS)

No. 6 Texas (20-12, 11-7 Big-12): Eleven players average double-digit minutes for the Longhorns and the havoc defense while Isaiah Taylor (14.8 ppg) and Cam-eron Ridley (11.8 ppg, 9.2 rpg) lead the offense.

vs.No. 11 Northern Iowa (22-12,

11-7 MVC): Four players aver-age double digit points for the 11th ranked scoring defense in the nation.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Fri-day, March 18 4:20 p.m. (TBS)

No. 3 Texas A&M (26-8, 13-5 SEC): Jalen Jones (15.6 ppg) and Danuel House (15.0 ppg) will try to prove that the Aggies are no fluke although they come from the SEC, perceived as a weak bas-ketball conference.

vs.No. 14 Green Bay (23-12, 11-7

Horizon): The Phoenix are the nations 6th highest scoring team (84.2 ppg) but they cant stop anybody on the defensive side of the ball (328th in scoring defense).

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Fri-day, March 18 10:30 a.m. (TNT)

No. 7 Oregon State (19-12, 9-9

Pac-12): Gary Payton II does everything for Oregon State with 15.9 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 5.1 apg and 2.5 spg while guarding the opposing teams best player. But, the success of the Beavers will rely on Tres Tinkles health (13.1 ppg) to help take pressure off Payton.

vs.No. 10 VCU (24-10, 14-4

A-10): Melvin Johnson (17.8 ppg) and Korey Billbury (11.4 ppg) lead 10 Rams who average double-digit minutes.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Fri-day, March 18 1:00 p.m. (TNT)

No. 2 Oklahoma (25-7, 12-6 Big-12): Buddy Hield is the nations second leading scorer (25 ppg) while the Sooners are second in the nation in three-point percent-age (42.6). If Oklahoma plays defense, it has the talent to win the whole tournament.

vs.No. 15 Cal-State Bakersfield

(24-8, 11-3 WAC): The Roadrun-ners, with five players averaging double-digit points, got into the tournament after Dedrick Basiles three-pointer at the buzzer won the conference tournament.

OPINION

FINALS ARE DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE

Throughout college, there

will be weeks of finals that

stress you out more than

ever, but depending on your

preparation, the difficulty of

your courses and the type of

work given, the end of the

term is not always terrible.

Business major Rachel Michaels said, I dont think its fun, but its not the worst week of my life.

The stress that accompanies finals is often inevitable, but term after term, we know its coming. The two simple words Finals week can give students a massive, horrible, I-want-to-curl-up-in-a-ball-and-never-face-the-world-again type of feeling, but could that be avoided with the right preparation?

Instead of hiding from the final assignments that have been on the syllabus since day one, students should actively work to finish any projects and papers that can be completed before Finals week. When it comes to studying for exams, it is important to start as early as possible.

Exam schedules are released weeks before they actually take place, giving students plenty of time to plan out their own study schedules. Using dead week to its full potential can help students avoid cramming an entire term worth of studying into a few all-nighters in the library.

If you find yourself stuck behind a computer all night make sure you arent alone. Having a friend across the table who is also working hard can keep you grounded and focused. Not too mention the bonding that occurs between two friends sitting in the library at 3 a.m. after several cups of coffee and a Dough Co. calzone.

Stressful nights are bound to happen due to some classes having

busy work, papers and final exams scheduled for

Finals week, but that is not the case for every student

every term.Spencer Johnson, a

sophomore studying public relations said, It depends on the teacher, when it comes to whether Finals week lives up to its awful stereotype.

Take in to consideration a students major, year of school, and the courses they are taking. None of this is to say that certain majors, classes or even instructors are easier than others, it merely points out that they are all different.

A student studying journalism who has three final papers due but no final exam may not get overstressed by finals week because they are used to the large amounts of writing. On the other hand throw a 50-question final math exam their way and they may have a completely different reaction.

Finals week is different for everyone, and the idea that it is such a terrible week term after term could potentially be detrimental to students. It can be pretty intimidating, especially for freshman, to go into their finals week having upperclassmen say how hard that week is. In a sense it can psyche them out and make the fast approaching week that much more stressful.

While many students are hard at work in the library all through Finals week, some students may not have any finals that require their presence on campus.

Journalism major Dominic Black is able to turn in all his final projects online, letting him go home a week early for spring break.

All this being said, everyone is different and each person reacts to the pressure of Finals week in different ways. I, for one, need to have the pressure in order to get things done; however, I also understand that it can really make some students lives miserable.

In the end, while the work wont go away, and while we are all going to have some bad finals during college, finals week isnt cut and dry.

For some it is awful, for others its extra time to binge-watch Netflix.
