Josh Whitman dismissed football coach Bill Cubit on Saturday. There are rumors he might hire a new coach this week. So where will he look for Cubit's replacement? What did Illinois' last few coaches do before they were hired? What did their resumes look like? Whitman finished the weekend with a trip to Tampa. That trip could speak volumes. MONDAY March 7, 2016

“Civic engagement is something that’s really important to me, especially with the student population,” Haydary said. “(Automatic voting) empowers our fellow students and removes a layer of the bureaucracy that we work through to get registered to vote, express your opinion, and be civically engaged.” Essentially, the bill would provide an amendment to the election code that makes it easier for young people to receive voter registration. “Automatic voter registration means that people are able to be registered when

In the 2014 federal elections, 44.8 percent of 18-to 24-year-olds voted in the Midwest, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Realizing the 18 to 24 year-old demographic is the lowest demographic to vote, Spencer Haydary, junior in LAS, led an Illinois Student Senate resolution that demonstrates support for an automatic voter bill. The bill, currently up for vote in the Illinois General Assembly, aims to improve civic engagement among young people.

Even though most young people receive their license at 16 years-old, citizens can pre-register to vote, which will then go into effect when they are eligible to vote at 18 years-old. “It affects students because many come here not registered and automatic voter registration would mean more people are registered when they come to

McClinton said that voting is crucial for students because they’re voting for officials that need to represent the interests of higher education. “It’s a principle and one of our most sacred rights in a democracy,” he said. “Automatic registration is something that will basically knock down more barriers for Illinoisans.”

Trump to hold rally at UIC Pavilion DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at 6 p.m. on March 11 at the UIC Pavilion, four days before the Illinois primary on March 15. At this point in the primary season, Trump remains the GOP frontrunner. Trump won the primaries in 12 out of 19 states while Texas senator Ted Cruz took six and Florida senator Marco Rubio won one. Trump has 382 delegates, while the closest competitor, Cruz, has 300. DNAinfo reported that the Chicago campus is not advocating Trump by hosting him at the pavilion; Trump is merely renting the pavilion. “It’s a rental arrangement with the campaign,� UIC spokeswoman Sherri McGinnis Gonzalez told DNAinfo. “This is not us hosting the campaign.� Several groups have begun protesting the event online, petitioning the UIC Pavilion to cancel the event and starting Facebook events advocating protests at the rally.

Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor to visit University Sotomayor to deliver lecture and judge moot court BY MARIJO ENDERLE ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
LINDA EPSTEIN TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan (top) and Sonia Sotomayor (bottom) greet fellow guests during the presidential inauguration on Jan. 21, 2013 in Washington, D.C.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor will visit the University on March 7 to judge the College of Law’s annual moot court competition and present a lecture to the public. The lecture, “A Conversation with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor,” is hosted by the College of Law and will cover ”a wide range of topics” with Robin Kar, University Law professor. Tickets to attend the lecture sold out within the first hour of becoming available on Feb. 15. The tickets, which were available by phone, through the Krannert Center website and inperson, were free but limited and are required for entry the night of the event. According to Krannert’s website, attendees of the 7 p.m. lecture must be seated by 6:50 p.m. for security reasons or be forced to surrender their seat to patrons waiting in line who were not able to get tickets. Sotomayor will sign copies of her book, “My Beloved World,” in Krannert’s lobby at 8:30 p.m. following the discussion.
Sotomayor will also be one of the judges in the Frederick Green Moot Court competition, the law school’s biggest moot court competition, on March 8. Sotomayor’s involvement with the competition was announced in July in an email to students in the College of Law. The competition was named after Professor Frederick Green, who taught at the University from 1904 to 1939. According to the competition’s website, four University College of Law students will be participating in the moot court competition: Elizabeth Carter, Sarah Craig, Lindsey Lusk and Kevin McKeow. The top competitors will be chosen to compete nationally and will be editors for the following year’s competition. Sotomayor’s visit comes on the heels of the passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia on Feb. 13 at a Texas ranch. Filling the late justice’s vacant seat offers President Barack Obama the chance to tip the ideological balance of the court toward liberal, leaving the Republican-controlled Senate — the chamber which votes to confirm judicial nominations — largely opposed to voting on a nominee as the 2016 presidential election draws near. Top republican senators including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley have promised to stymy any attempt by Obama to fill the vacant seat before his term ends in January 2017. Senator Mark Kirk, breaking with his Republican colleagues, has stated that he believes the Senate should hold a vote on Obama’s future nominee, which would be Obama’s third Supreme Court nomination since the confirmation of Sotomayor in 2009 and Elena Kagan in 2010. According to the Supreme Court’s website, Sotomayor was nominated as an associate justice to the Supreme Court after serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit since 1998. Sotomayor was born in the Bronx, New York City, New York in 1954 to Puerto Ricanborn parents; her appointment to the Supreme Court earned her the distinction of being the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice and the third female justice. Sotomayor earned her bachelor’s degree from Princeton in 1976 and her juris doctor from Yale in 1979. Also serving on the moot court panel will be Ann Williams of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and Jill Pryor of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. mender12@dailyillini.com
Renovations to save $41 million in energy costs BY SAMUEL CHEUNG CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Students that have a physics class at Loomis Laboratory or happen to pass by the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory may have seen some hard hats hard at work. According to a recent press release by the Facilities and Services, Loomis and four other College of Engineering facilities are getting an energy efficiency upgrade in the hopes of reducing energy costs by more than $41 million over the next 20 years. The construction is the first step of a long-term plan that includes upgrading 23 facilities under a Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) model implemented by the service company Energy Systems Group. Loomis Laboratory, the Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory, Seitz Materials Research Laboratory, Engineering Sciences Building and the Superconductivity Center are the first five buildings slated for the most recent round of upgrades.

MAKOVSKY ton’s Camp David talks in 2000 and during former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s talks with Oman’s foreign minister in 2007. “I’ve feel we’ve tried to hit the homerun ball three times now,” Makovsky said. “Three major efforts. We tried to test the proposition, tip the balance in a way that would get to a deal. But
But, they are not the first to be updated to the EPC model. “Because of the success of the Vet Med and Oak Street facility improvement projects back in 2009 and 2011, we developed a long term plan to address 23 buildings,” said Josh Whitson, an engineering specialist at Facilities and Services (F&S). If the University does not save $41 million, the Energy Systems group has guaranteed it will cover the cost, said Whiston. “If we (the University) are not meeting what was agreed upon they will reimburse the university for any shortfalls,” Whitson said. Many of the upgrades involve replacing laboratory equipment that may be out of date. The equipment includes heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment, direct digital controls, fume hoods, heat recovery systems and occupancy sensors throughout the buildings. Despite the construction and updates, F&S plans to keep students and faculty
informed of any changes in the construction schedule. “We will keep students informed through signs, posters and email so that there are no surprises,” Whitson said. F&S handles a wide variety of services at the University, including renovation and maintenance projects. “(F&S has) divisions that include utilities and energy services, capital program, safety and compliance, operation maintenance and alteration, waste management and custodial,” Steven Breitweiser, F&S manager of communications and external relations, said. According to a press release, F&S plans to partner with Engineering at Illinois to finish the project, which is expected to be substantially completed by July 2018. “The energy conservation measures will bring the College of Engineering one step closer to our sustainability goals,” said Greg Larson, director of facilities management for the
College of Engineering, in the release. “Annually, we’ll save approximately 9.5 mil-
lion gallons of process water that supports our research activities and equipment
cooling.”
I don’t think that we were there.” In an election year, the decision of who will handle Middle East policies and situations is important not only for our country, but for others in the Middle East who look at what we do, Makovsky said. “We are in many ways an indispensable country, it doesn’t mean we have to get involved in every single conflict but it means that our allies in the Middle East will look at us, what
we do and what we don’t do, and when we’re not engaged they will draw lessons from that,” Makovsky said. “If (the Middle East thinks) we’re disengaged, that has real world implications.” Makovsky emphasized that while he is not advocating for students to vote for a certain candidate, he looks at Syria and says the next U.S. President has to be very mindful.“I’m not trying to make an argument for U.S. engagement in every
conflict, not at all. But it’s a very difficult situation,” Makovsky said. “If you look at Syria right now, 300,000 killed, millions displaced, it’s one of the greatest catastrophes since World War II. It’s very important to me that our next president is very mindful.” Makovsky said he looks at social media as an important key for future peace.“(Social media) is this generation. Fifteen yearolds could see something
hateful on social media, act upon it and that is dangerous,” Makovsky said. “We can find more positive ways to use social media so it’s not so hateful.” Makovsky said he has seen animosity between Israeli and Palestinian students, which makes college campuses a concern for him. He said students who are at a time in their lives where they are deciding their future should try to find a “project that is big-
ger than themselves,” and devote some time to making the world a better place. “I feel that as someone who was in the peace negotiations that I feel a certain obligation to go out, talk to students and tell them not to give up,” Makovsky said. “We shouldn’t be importing polarization. As they say, ‘It is better to light a candle rather than curse the darkness.’”

Green Party presidential candidate visits UI BY MICHAEL SEMACA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Jill Stein, the Green Party’s leading candidate for the 2016 presidential election, spoke at the University on Wednesday night, promoting her party’s political values. Stein, the only presidential candidate to visit the University this election cycle, has been involved in green politics for more than fifteen years. She ran for many offices in her home state of Massachusetts, and was the Green Party’s nominee in the 2012 presidential election. She said she believes is that massive changes need to be made to America to make the world a better place. “We need really deep systemic change.” Stein said. “And a different way forward based on democracy, justice, and human rights, and a different kind of world that puts people, planet and peace over profit, instead of profit over everything else.” Stein’s speech primarily focused on the issue of student loan debt. She pointed out that 43 million Americans
are tied down by their student loans; in order to pay them off, many graduates need to work longer hours, giving them less time to pay attention to politics. Stein said it was crucial for these people to get out and vote in 2016. Stein stressed that impact 43 million people voting to “check the green box and cancel debt” would make. “That’s enough people to actually take over the election and win it,” she said. “People in student debt actually have the numbers to take over this election.” In addition to easing student debt, Stein spoke about one of the core values of the Green Party: stopping climate change. She highlighted her campaign’s idea for a “Green New Deal,” which she said would create 20 million living wage jobs to put the country on a path toward a clean energy future. “We’re calling for this in real time so that, in the time that it needs to be done, by 2030, fifteen years from now we have 100 percent clean, renewable energy. We can do that,” Stein said.
She said the party’s plans could revive the economy, turn the tide on climate change and make the war for oil obsolete. Stein said Democrat and Republican politicians will not make these changes because they are “funded by the predatory banks and the fossil fuel giants and the war profiteers.” To achieve change, Stein urged voters to get involved and make their voices heard in the political process. “This is not about sitting back and waiting 10 or 20 years for change to be built up,” she said. “We really need profound, substantive, transformative change, and remember we have the numbers to make it happen,” she said. “And the power to create that world, it’s not just in our hopes, like some campaigns have told us, it’s not just in our dreams, it’s right here, right now, it’s in our hands, let’s make it happen.” The event was organized by the Prairie Greens, a part of the Illinois Green Party that operates in the central Illinois area. The organiza-
tion has a campus presence that was started by Michael Bay a year ago, and is focused on bringing various green organizations together. “We’ve tried to unify what these students do because all their goals are united. They’re all green values,” Bay said. Bay, originally from Germany, started the University branch of Prairie Greens because he was incredibly surprised at students’ lack of involvement in politics compared to his home country. “When I came here to the states, I was shocked by the conditions that this country and campus (were) in,” Bay said. “Basically nobody cares about politics or getting involved and standing up for his or her voice.” Bay believes that the Green Party can have a big impact on American politics due to their progressive ideas, but acknowledged that it will be hard for the Green Party to challenge the establishment. Bay said the U.S. will need to do “tremendous rethinking.” “What I realized as a Ger-

Jill Stein spoke at the University on Wednesday night to promte the Green Party to students. man is that people are a lot more focused on promoting their own careers, their own wealth and themselves rather than stepping in for the collective, for the societal good,” he said. “In a country where socialism is stigmatized, and where you’re looked down upon if you don’t take a career with money as a primary goal, it’s going to be hardly possible for a greater movement to take place.” Many students unaffiliated with the Green Party attended the event as well, including senior Jasmine Kirby. Kirby has always been interested in liberal politics, but has never
identified herself as a member of the Green Party. “(The speech) was great, and it was very interesting. I’m not in the Green Party but I liked a lot of the ideas and it seemed very applicable,” Kirby said. She said the event made her think more about Stein as a potential presidential candidate. “She’s running as an independent and is trying to get more people involved in the political process which is great.” news@dailyillini.com

Sotomayor’s visit reminds us what we should aspire to be
As
our generation has grown older, we continue to face criticism from older generations. The criticism seems to revolve around just about everything: How we’re lazier than our parents were, how social media and texting are ruining our ability to communicate face-to-face and how we focus too much on celebrities. America’s growth as a society toward the acceptance of reality television, pop stars and tabloid news is more evident than ever. Entertainment value has never been as high a priority as it is now, which is perhaps most obvious when looking at 2016 presidential election coverage. As we prepare to enter into the real world, the prominence of celebrities in certain fields is remarkable. The Jenner sisters have made it a goal to become fashion moguls, Kanye West is diversifying into clothing and even Donald Trump’s presence as a political icon is on a continuous rise. Just because a celebrity can make it in another field doesn’t mean you should strive to become like them, especially as you prepare to enter the workforce. Sure, Kanye and the Jenners, among others, deserve credit where credit is due. If your goal is to create the greatest shoe brand alive, maybe Kanye’s rise with Yeezys is your inspiration. But when you look at our student body, our collective potential to make a mark in every field of
study is endless. That’s why Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who is visiting campus Monday, is an ideal role model. Our University has put us into positions where we’re more than capable of becoming the next Sonia Sotomayor, who became a Supreme Court justice in 2009. She’s risen as one of the prominent liberal voices on the Court and has opened up more avenues than most realize. She’s the first Supreme Court justice of Hispanic heritage, one of the youngest justices on the Court and the third female justice ever. Her presence on campus cannot be understated. Sotomayor is serving on a Court that is (likely) about to face a massive change in ideology, with a new appointee expected following the death of Antonin Scalia. A majority of the likely appointees from President Barack Obama are going to continue the non-straight white male trend begun by Sotomayor’s appointment. University alumna Patricia Millett, for example, is being considered for the vacancy. If you have the privilege of seeing Sotomayor on campus on Monday — please take this opportunity seriously. Sotomayor has established herself as a role model for Americans across the nation, no matter their gender, field, age or ethnicity. And in the future, aspire to approach your domain with the same determination and gusto as Sonia Sotomayor, regardless of what you’re doing.
Chicago Public Schools ahead of the curve with computer science requirement
BY LEAH PEARLMAN OPINIONS COLUMNIST
In
the age of the Internet, the core subjects required in high school are simply not cutting it when it comes to preparing students for the increasingly technological future. Mayor Rahm Emanuel knew that, and made Chicago the fi rst city in the United States to make computer science a graduation requirement for all high school students. Emanuel’s five-year plan called “CS4All,” which he initiated in 2013, is either offi cially implemented at most schools or will be by next year. This is a vital addition to the current core curriculum, as computer science is an essential tool for newly graduated students in the work force of the future. Computer programs have infi ltrated nearly every aspect of our lives. And the things that a computer programmer does, like design, develop, theorize and apply software and hardware for the programs we use everyday, are important. Even those of us who chose not to go into designing or developing should know the basics of how these things operate, as we are going to be surrounded by them. These skills will not only be useful in the workplace; soon they will be required as the language of the new generation. Learning computer science isn’t an additional proficiency; it is more like a necessary component to getting a job at all. “No matter what field our students pursue, having exposure to STEM will provide critical skills and training for success in their careers and in life,” said Chicago Public Schools CEO Forrest Claypool in a press release. “As a national leader in technology in the classroom, CPS will continue to push the envelope to challenge our students and ensure they’re prepared for the future.” The plan was made official this week after a vote by the Chicago Public Board of Education. Currently, 107 Chicago Public Schools have implemented the computer science programs early, and 41 of those already meet the new graduation requirement standards. The district is working with Code. org and other organizations to develop the computer science education curriculum. Some might claim an extra class is unnecessary for non-

he holiday of Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day mainly serves the purpose of providing an opportunity for stressed students to have fun drinking as they sport that signature green color. While having fun at parties isn’t necessarily harmful, the event shouldn’t create damages that harm the college’s image and provide reasons for students to get injured. Most notably, pet owners have complained around campus about their pets being exposed to the dangerous, inconsiderate behaviors of their peers. In the midst of intoxication and loosened morals, students may drop their handles of alcohol from a third floor or casually leave their drinks somewhere on the street if they don’t wish to carry them with them. If street workers are unavailable to attend to the mess that students created, pets that go on walks the next morning with their owners can cut their paws on one of the shards and easily get infected. Imagine the grief of a pet owner who unknowingly steps into a field of glass shards while walking with a companion animal. Not only would the animal suffer physical pain but the owner would be frustrated by their peers’ reckless behavior and concerned about their pet’s well being. It seems hardly reasonable that a joyful holiday such as Unofficial should cause stress for those who are left with the aftermath of it. “A lot of (students) have pets, or had them in the past, and they should know better to take care of the campus,” said Ashley O’Connell, a senior in ACES. “Pets can get hurt from a piece
of glass, get infections and maybe even get their owners infected. So think about who can get hurt or be impacted by the action before throwing a bottle on the streets.” There are students on the campus who are in need of help from their service dogs, who guide owners and warn them of danger. If they are injured, it prevents them from performing required tasks and owners are left vulnerable. Before leaving bottles on the edge of a balcony because it was inconvenient to fi nd a trash bin, consider the potential danger of those at risk without their companion.
Imagine the grief of a pet owner who unknowingly steps into a field of glass shards while walking a companion animal. According to Disability Resources and Educational Services, if the service dogs fall ill it becomes the handler’s responsibility to treat them. The liability of the actions of their drunk peers fall on those who are needed the most to provide help. The fi nancial loss of taking the service dog to the vet, the emotional distress and the absence of assistance are among many woes that can come from the careless decision to not clean up after drinking. The University is considered one of the nation’s best, and our graduates are known for achieving success after fi nishing the

rigorous curriculum. If not recognizable for the academics, though, the school is also famous for being the number one party school. Unofficial is unequivocally a huge contribution to that fame, and it is a noteworthy tradition. Despite the publicity the holiday brings, the reputation of the campus cannot be dignified if the result of our party scene causes pain for some members of the community. “I don’t think many people have thought about how pets can get hurt by drinking and not taking care of the littering afterwards,” said Melina Saenz, a freshman in ACES. “It’s unfortunate that such problems exist on the campus.” This issue may seem trivial, since everyone on the campus who participated in the festivities may be too hungover to pay attention to their faults from the night before. However, the problem is as apparent as the pieces of liquor bottles in the grass shimmering in preparation for the next accident. Whether the campus is painted in orange and blue or waves of green, the University must remain safe and accommodating for all members of the community. Being the number one party school should concern not only the quality of parties being thrown, but also the amount of attention paid to restore the state of environment afterwards. The best solution to prevent any regretful incidents from happening is simply thinking of those affected by drunken mischief and handling trash appropriately.

While government and history are important, computer science is just as important, if not more important, for the future of the work force. The mandatory computer science classes will help students discover whether they enjoy the field. Currently, there is so little exposure to computer science before college that many students don’t consider pursuing it, or even learning the basics of how it works. For students here at the University who may have never taken a computer science class, you should take advantage of that here. Your major may not specifically require you to learn coding or programs, but our future society does Computer science is currently only offered in 25 percent of schools across the nation. Our lives are digital, we are growing up in a technological world, and we need to be able to keep up with it. The schools of Chicago are taking a huge step toward the future by preparing their students for a world in which knowledge of computer science is necessary.

ALMA APPROVED NEW KENDRICK ALBUM ANYTHING BUT UNMASTERED After apparent urging from LeBron James, Kendrick Lamar released an album entitled, “untitled unmastered.” The product of an amalgamation of songs that didn’t quite make the cut on Lamar’s other albums, “untitled unmastered” is full of bizarre song introductions and jazzy overtones that make Lamar’s music so uniquely captivating. That a random assortment of Lamar’s work is a more enjoyable listen than carefully crafted full albums from nearly any other current rapper except Drake indicates just how far Lamar has come in the short time since “Section.80” and “Overly Dedicated.” Though a minimum of one full, sequential listening is the recommended dosage of “untitled unmastered” from us, the highlights of the album are “untitled 03” and “untitled 06.”
DI DENIED GOLDEN STATE SLIPS UP IN RACE FOR RECORD The biggest upset in NBA history occurred last night, as the Los Angeles Lakers (13-51) defeated the Golden State Warriors (55-6) at home by 17 points. Golden State leaves Los Angeles still leading the pace of the 1996 Chicago Bulls for the most wins in a single season in NBA history by one game; however, it’s undeniably disappointing to see the team’s chances of setting an NBA record lessened by a poor showing after a night spent out on the town in L.A. The Warriors, even with sharpshooters Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, shot a combined 4-of-30 from the three-point line on mostly open shots, proving once again that randomness can trump even some of the best talent in the history of the sport.

Taught by ear, the Black Chorus sings as one Dr. Davis inspires her students with her uplifting voice BY SIMON TIFFIN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
“I am you, you are me, we are us,” said Dr. Ollie Watts Davis, professor of voice at the University, on a Tuesday night rehearsal for the Black Chorus. “Own it, so you can give it away.” These are just some of the words one might hear if they ever encounter Davis in their time at the University. These words defi ne how she lives. “When students walk into my classroom, I want them to experience me, and I want them to be better,” she said. From her 1990 debut in Carnegie Hall , her 2008 recognition as a University Scholar and her 2015 reception of the key to the city of Champaign, Davis has app e a r e d in many of the nation’s great concert halls. Internationa lly, she has appeared with orchestras and for master classes in Venezuela, Mexico and many other locations. Davis recalls chatting with a clarinet soloist of an orchestra she was touring with in Venezuela. “He was sort of shy and not very comfortable with English, but the night after our fi fth performance, I can remember him saying to me, ‘You sing for God,’ and that was probably the highest compliment I have ever received,” she said. “I was touched that he had stepped out of his comfort zone to compliment me in my own language.” Davis has been able to harness and utilize these many experiences to give each student who walks into her classroom a varied and unique experience. Black Chorus mem-
ber Landen Rosenbloom , also a sophomore in FAA, said he is greatly affected by Davis. “I love working with her. She’s such a passionate conductor, and her ability to draw emotion from her ensemble is truly awestriking,” he said. One interesting feature of Black Chorus is that nearly everything is learned by ear. Davis takes a melody, sings it to a section with all of the inflection, dynamics and nuances she intends, and then has members of the ensemble

I teach people music, I don’t just teach music to people.” This personal philosophy is one of the many factors wh ich d i fferent i ate s Black Chorus from other ensembles on campus, according to Rosenbloom. “Black chorus isn’t just an ensemble,” he said. “It’s a family, and it’s because of the environment (Davis) creates and encourages that we have such community.” Barrington Coleman, director of Men’s Glee Club and professor of voice , appreciates Davis’ attention to detail as a per for mer a nd educator. “Her ability to take her experience and apply it in her teachi ng makes the experience real and vitalizing for students,” Coleman said. The group will be holding a concert on Saturday, April 9th at 7:30 p.m. in Foellinger Great Hall, Krannert Center of the Performing Arts . The program, centered around a theme of crowns, contains many diverse works speaking of and sy mb ol i z i ng crow ns , royalty, and kingdoms. The concert — or offering, in Davis’s words — serves as a tribute to mothers. “I want the whole audience swaying, singing and dancing by the end of this,” she said. “It should be an all-inclusive and allencompassing experience between audience and singers.”
“When students walk into my classroom, I want them to experience me, and I want them to be better.”

While this reinvention of sound on some tracks may deter past fans, there are still some instances of classic The 1975. “She’s American” is a track that is just waiting for an arena to fi ll, and rivals some of their hit songs from their debut. “The Sound” is another one of these tracks that

repeat it back to her as many times as necessary until it is done right by every person. There is generally no formal sheet music handed out to the students as it is all passed down orally, just as many Black American spirituals were passed down orally and aurally throughout history. “A sense of community and unity is essential to this ensemble,” Davis said. “The whole represents the individual, and the individual represents the whole.” Davis wants to be dedicated to her students and each of their styles. “You have to be attentive to the learning styles of students.

Following “Paris” is “Nana,” a tearjerker of a song focused around the death of Healy’s grandmother. Accompanied by only an acoustic guitar and the soft touch of piano, we hear “I don’t like it now you’re dead, it’s not the same when I scratch my own head.” “Nana” is easily the most emotional song off the record, and provides a much needed change of pace for the latter half of

Students weigh whether Unofficial is worth it BY MARA SHAPIRO
A
STAFF WRITER
ngela Coco, freshman in ACES, decided to forego arguably the biggest event of the semester at the University and her very first Unofficial due to concerns for her personal safety. “I didn’t think that there were very many plans, and I would rather go home than risk getting in trouble,” Coco said. Coco heard from older friends that if one didn’t have solidified plans for the day, that it wasn’t worthwhile. But she did see some drawbacks in leaving campus for the weekend. “I will miss out on making memories with my friends and pledge class,” Coco said. Coco was not the only Illini who decided to skip out on Unofficial St. Patrick’s Day, which took place last Friday. Brianna Garland, sophomore in Media, considers Unofficial to be a letdown
compared to a normal night out at the University. She participated in the event last year and was disappointed. “You would figure it would be something more fun than normal. Any normal night would have been so much more fun,” Garland said. Garland said that a lot of her friends also went home, and she decided that it would be best that she spend time with her family and get her work done in a quiet environment despite the three hour drive home. She said more than likely, she will not be participating next year either, but it is up for consideration because during her senior year. “I plan on studying abroad next year, so I won’t be here. Senior year, I’ll probably participate because I’ll be 21 and of age of participation. If it were that I was going to be here next year, I would probably go home too,” she said.
Garland and Coco are not the only students who didn’t participate this year. Jake Winkler, account executive and customer service manager at Peoria Charter, explained that he didn’t

really notice an increase in bus ticket sales this year, but that more people were asking about ticket prices and options. “We sold 200 tickets for Friday,” Winkler said.
Overall, about 600 bus tickets had been purchased by late Thursday afternoon. Winkler said that Peoria Charter recently had a Leap Day promotion in which they strongly encouraged customers to grab their tickets back home for Unofficial weekend and Spring Break while they had a discount. “We had over 1,500 tickets booked in one day, and usually it’s closer to 300 or 400, so people definitely took advantage of that,” Winkler said. Winkler went on to say that one of the benefits of taking Peoria Charter back home instead of driving themselves is that students won’t have to personally deal with in and outgoing traffic. Although Coco went home this Unofficial, she said she is planning on celebrating next year. “Next year, I think I will stay on campus for Unof-
ficial because my pledge class will be more experienced with how to be safe and make good decisions while having fun,” Coco said. Despite recognizing the necessity of increased security and regulations, Garland explained that this could make it harder to enjoy Unofficial. “Bars are always going to be 21, and the police are going to be strict because it’s a big safety issue, especially when people from other schools come,” Garland said. However, Coco was looking forward to her mom’s home cooked meals and spending time with her puppy, so she didn’t feel any regrets about not sticking around this year. “My mother is cooking amazing meals, I get to spend time with my family (and I) get to see my puppy,” she said.

Indie rock band The 1975 releases follow-up album JAKE VALENTINE Staff writer
T
hree years after releasing their debut album that launched the UK indie rockers into teenage fangirl stardom, The 1975 are back. Last week, The 1975 released their follow-up to their monumental first record, with the lengthy and cringe-worthy title “I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It.”
Recently, on “Saturday Night Live,” we saw the scantily-clad lead singer and guitarist Matty Healy in nothing but tight leather pants and a black suit coat, obnoxiously prancing around the stage and condescendingly glaring at the camera from time to time. This type of onstage behavior has generated claims that Healy is a pompous, pretentious and overall annoying frontman. Whether you believe it or not, there’s no doubt that Healy is one of the last real frontmen in what appears to be a dying
breed for rock and pop groups alike. It’s easy to dismiss The 1975 as just another pop band adored by high school girls upon first glance; Yet they aren’t singing about what makes girls beautiful or dancing to the best song ever. There’s substance within not only the music, but also the lyrics of The 1975. On “UGH!” we hear “You’re the only thing that’s going on in my mind, taking over my life a second time.” This lyric isn’t about Healy’s girl troubles, but rather
his addiction to cocaine. These lyrics paired along with a funk-inspired drum beat and eclectic guitar riff, serve as a juxtaposition and make “UGH!” one of the more addictive tracks on the record. It’s obvious that “When You Sleep” has a heavy 80’s influence. On “Love Me,” we hear an INXS inspired guitar riff that serves as the driving force for the lead single. With “A Change Of Heart” we are introduced to The 1975’s take on a classic 80’s ballad. A song about falling out of love, Healy mutters out a
line reminiscent of first album track “Robbers,” “You used to have a face straight out of a magazine, now you just look like anyone.” Even though “When You Sleep” has an 80’s vibe to it, you can still tell that this is a 1975 record. This is credited mostly to the flawless production of the album and drummer George Daniel, who is essentially the production mastermind, uses a variety of ambient tones to decorate the backdrop of almost every song.

It didn’t take long for Josh Whitman to find Bill Cubit’s successor. After firing Cubit in his first day as athletic director, Whitman quickly began the process of finding Cubit’s successor. Several media outlets reported over the last two days that former NFL coach Lovie Smith will take the reigns of Illinois football. The reports claim that Whitman has been actively pursuing Smith, and hopes he can bring elements that haven’t previously been known to the position. Smith’s been coaching for more than 30 years between the NFL and college ranks. Most notably, Smith was the head coach for
the Chicago Bears from 2004 to 2012 and for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2014 to 2015. Smith was the NFL Coach of the Year in 2005 when he took the Bears to the Super Bowl, losing to Indianapolis. He’d be Illinois’ first African-American head football coach, and the fourth head coach for Illinois since Ron Turner was fired in 2004. Whitman has not commented on the Smith rumors publicly, but he was at Willard Airport Sunday morning returning from a quick trip to Tampa Bay, where Smith most recently worked as the head coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for two seasons. sports@dailyillini.com
Illinois basketball loses final Big Ten matchup Malcolm Hill ends regular season with one of best career games BY ELI SCHWADRON STAFF WRITER
Malcolm Hill hit Penn State’s Isaiah Washington with a crossover in the closing seconds of regula-
tion Sunday, sending the 6 -foot-3 defender stumbling backwards. The left-to-right dribble created a few feet of space, and Hill had a clean look
at a jumper from the left wing. However, instead of pulling up to potentially cap off one of the best individual games of his career, the junior swingman tried to deliver a pass to Maverick Morgan under the basket. The ball never found its intended target.
Penn State and Illinois went on to play two overtimes in front of a recorded attendance of 9,104 in State College, Pennsylvania, with the Nittany Lions grabbing the victory, 86-79. With the win, Penn State (16-15, 7-11 Big Ten) gets a fi rst round bye in the Big Ten Tournament for the fi rst time in
program history. Meanwhile, Illinois (1318, 5-13 Big Ten) gets the 12 seed with a loss in its fi nal regular season game. Hill put forth a Herculean effort, shooting 12-of-21 for a career-high 39 points, hitting 14-of-16 free throws and grabbing 13 rebounds in 44 minutes of work.
Still, it wasn’t enough. Shep Garner (22 points, six assists), Brandon Taylor (21 points, 11 rebounds) and Josh Reaves (13 points, seven rebounds, three blocks, two steals) led the way for the Nittany Lions, who secured a seventh Big

BBALL Ten win — the most conference wins ever under head coach Pat Chambers. Taylor rattled off seven straight points midway through the second half, and Penn State led by 10 with 9:10 remaining. Jumpers from Hill and threeballs from Kendrick Nunn and Khalid Lewis brought the Illini back. Neither team b u c k led down d efe n sively in crunch time and both traded baskets down the stretch. Illinois took its fi rst lead of the second half on a Lewis runner off the glass with 56 seconds left. Garner responded with a higharcing fi nger roll layup with 14 ticks remaining to tie it at 67.

Banks for a three-pointer. The Illini couldn’t match the Lions’ fi repower in the fi nal five minutes. There weren’t many bright spots for the visiting team apart from Hill’s standout performance. Khalid Lewis shot 3-of-4 from the field for a careerhigh 10 points, but no other Illini reached double-digit scoring. The Illini will take on t he 13-seed Minnesota on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. i n Indianapolis. John Gr o c e ’s s q u a d has beaten t he Golden G o ph e r s twice this season, including a 84-71 win on Feb. 28, in which Hill, Kendrick Nunn and Jalen Coleman-Lands combined for 65 points. The Gophers are without three key players due to suspension and another one due to injury. Last year, Illinois fell in the fi rst round of the Big Ten Tournament to Michigan.
The Illini will take on 13seed Minnesota on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. in Indianapolis.

Illini sweep three-game Stetson Invitational BY COLE HENKE ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
In its third trip to Florida this season, the Illinois baseball team remembered to pack the brooms. The Illini swept their three games at the Stetson Invitational in Deland, Florida, taking down Central Michigan, Stetson and Villanova. “Coming out with three wins is what we set out to do,” said head coach Dan Hartleb. “We still have a number of things to clean up, but guys are fi nding ways to do enough to win games.” The Illini set the tone for the weekend early on in their 9-4 win over Central Michigan. Illinois put five runs up on the board in the first inning, and never trailed in any of the three games. Junior Pat McInerney and freshman Luke Shilling both had three RBIs for the Illini. Through the first six games of the season, McInerney had only one RBI, and Shilling had none. The game against Central Michigan was Shilling’s second start of his career. “His play was huge,” said shortstop Adam Walton. “We got a really good amount of depth this year, which
is something we haven’t always had in the past. So when guys get spot starts and are able to contribute like he did then it is good for the program, it is good for the team and it is good for their confidence, too.” Illinois followed up Friday’s victory with a 4-1 win over Stetson on Saturday and a 4-2 win against Villanova on Sunday. All three of Illinois’ opponents had losing records entering the Invitational. But Hartleb likes Stetson’s chances of competing and says that his team will be rooting for them to turn it around and win some games - and improve Illinois’ RPI. Walton had his best weekend of the season so far. He had six hits, including three on Sunday in the win over Villanova. The leadoff hitter played his role perfectly, getting on base eight times and scoring three runs during the weekend. “I think my role on the team is to set the tone,” Walton said. “I think I am the energy guy. Whenever I can get on base in the leadoff spot then a lot of good things happen for the team and we score a lot of runs.” The Illini bullpen stayed true to form, giving up two runs in 10 1/3 innings of
Stetson Invitational
Summary: The Illinois baseball team swept the Stetson Invitational over the weekend. The Illini never trailed in any of the three games on its way to a 9-4 win over Central Michigan, a 4-1 win over Stetson and a 4-2 win over Villanova. Key performer: Nick work over the three games. Senior closer Nick Blackburn picked up two saves, bringing his season total to four. Since his first outing of the season — when he gave up a game-winning threerun home run in the bottom of the 10th — Blackburn has picked up four saves in four opportunities. He has only given up two hits on his way to picking up the four saves. “Nick is just throwing strikes,” Hartleb said. “He is attacking hitters and we are playing great defense behind him. He doesn’t have to be perfect. He doesn’t need to be spectacular. He just needs to go out and pitch with confidence.” Freshman Cole Bellair had another solid weekend. He appeared twice for the

Walton said he likes where the Illini are at right now, and the sweep this weekend only built on the momentum that they have been building on the past two weeks. “We are feeling great,” Walton said. “We have won six of the last seven. Honestly I think we should’ve swept last weekend at Florida Gulf Coast. So it’s been six of the last seven but could easily be seven of the last seven. Right now it is fun and we are playing well together as a team. “It’s been a really good couple of weeks.”

Despite strong individual performances, basketball loses ALEX ROUX Illini hoops columnist
I
n the final game of Illinois’ regular season, the recurring theme of individual players shining but the team still sinking played out once again. The Illini got an outstanding performance from Malcolm Hill, but all his teammates combined couldn’t match his 39-point outburst in Illinois’ 86-79 double-overtime defeat at Penn State. The loss put a lid on Illinois’ 13-18 record in the regular season, dragging it to 12th place and 5-13 in the Big Ten. The Illini are now locked into the No.12 seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis, where they’ll face 13-seed Minnesota on Wednesday. Hill complemented his career scoring day with 13 rebounds, good for his seventh double-double of what has been a stellar season for the 6-foot-6 junior. But his superhuman afternoon and some late-game heroics from teammate Khalid Lewis couldn’t rescue the rest of the team’s lackluster showing on either side of the ball. Illinois’ other three starters — Maverick Morgan, Jalen Coleman-Lands and Kendrick Nunn —
went a combined 10-for37 from the field. Besides a pair of first-half jumpers from freshman D.J. Williams, the Illini’s bench production was non-existent. The game was sloppy, painful and entertaining all at once to watch. Both squads struggled with turnovers and chances to put the other team away, but the Nittany Lions fi nally pulled ahead for good in the second overtime. Penn State’s two best players, Shep Garner and Brandon Taylor, wouldn’t let the Nittany Lions die in their home fi nale. Garner fi nished with 22 points, and the senior Taylor was his team’s MVP with 21 points and 11 rebounds in his fi nal game at Bryce Jordan Center. Perhaps most frustrating for Illinois was yet another late-game failure with the game on the line. Following a missed free throw by Garner nearing the end of regulation, Hill had a chance to win the game with the score knotted at 67. He broke down his defender at the top of the key in the fi nal sec-
onds, but instead forced an errant pass to Morgan as the clock hit zero.Illinois was unable to get a shot off, and the game went to its first overtime. We saw almost the exact same scenario play out in January against Ohio State, as head coach John Groce left his fi nal timeout in his back pocket while Hill brought the ball up for the fi nal shot. Both games resulted in OT losses. It’s fair to question Groce for deciding not to draw up a fi nal play, especially after a nearly identical situation already burned him once this season. But I can hardly fault the guy who put up over half his team’s points for mistakenly deferring to Nunn at the end of regulation. Hill was a monster all afternoon, and he drained two cold-blooded free throws to force a second overtime. If Hill hadn’t loaded the rest of the team on his back, Penn State’s original double-digit second half lead would have definitely held up.Illinois’ Lewis also deserves some serious credit for bringing

the Illini back from a 61-53 deficit with five minutes to play. In a ridiculous sequence, Lewis hit a three to cut Penn State’s lead to three, then converted two free throws following a steal, then deflected another pass for a steal on the Nittany Lions’ next possession. And he wasn’t done. With one minute remaining in regulation, Lewis gave the Illini a 66-65 lead on a fall-away floater with the shot clock winding down before blocking Isaiah Washington’s potential go-ahead 3-pointer. Lewis’ incredible late-game push didn’t lead to a win, but his season-high 10 points came during his most memorable stretch of the season. The wheels eventually came off in the second overtime for Illinois, as Hill was unable to find clean looks and his teammates who did couldn’t convert. The loss was Illinois’ fifth in seven tries at Penn State, and it was an appropriate end to a regular season that saw the Illini struggle to defend anyone who lined up across from them. Illinois now moves onto the Big Ten tourney, where they’ll have to quickly reverse this season’s ugly trends if they hope to have any meaningful success.

of the way she handled those moments.” The Illini transitioned into Saturday’s matchup with William and Mary. The Tribe cruised past the Illini, winning 5-2. Illinois lost its second doubles point loss of the season to William and Mary. The Tribe’s top doubles pair of Marie Faure and Elizaveta Nemchinov halted Kwong and Vias’ four-match winning streak. In singles play, the Illini fought back and gained two points out
6-under par, after shooting a 68 in the final round to lift him 10 spots in the standings. Senior Brian Campbell shot a 3-under 213 to tie for 11th, and then-freshman Nick Hardy tied for 23rd with a 1-under 215. “The teams relish the opportunity to play here, because it offers one of the best fields in college golf year after year, and it is played on a championship course,” UNLV coach Dwaine Knight told the Las Vegas Review Journal. “It produces a great winner every year, and that will have a legitimate chance to win the national championship.” 26.

The Illinois women’s tennis team had a busy weekend up north. The Illini (5 - 6) defe ated the unranked Wisconsin Badgers (3-8), but were downed by No. 30 William and Mary (10-4) at the Nielsen Tennis Complex in Madison, Wisconsin. llinois had won four straight against Wisconsin before the teams’ Friday faceoff. Wisconsin had a 23-19 lead in the all-time series versus the Illini before the contest. The Illini started out strong, winning 2-of-3 in the doubles matches and taking the first point. Their first doubles team, Louise Kwong and Ines Vias, won 6-1 and is 6-2 in dual play in the spring. Singles play did not go as smoothly for the visitors.
While Illinois’ new athletic director was settling into his position in Champaign, the University’s top-ranked team — Mike Small’s men’s golf team — was preparing for one of its biggest competitions of the season. The team competes in the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters from March 7-9. The event is hosted by UNLV at the par-72, 7,510-yard Southern Highlands Golf Club in Las Vegas, which is known for dry, warm and windy conditions and its elevation. The area is 2,001 feet above sea level — nearly 1,300 feet higher than Champaign. There, golf balls travel farther due to the thinner air. Balls also have extra roll at the higher elevation. “On a mid-to-longapproach shot, (the elevation) could still make a one-club difference,” Steve Aoyama, Principal Scientist of Golf Ball research and Development for the Acushnet Company, told the Professional Golfers’ Association, “Not to mention that you’ll be about a club closer to the green as a result of the longer drive.” Besides the elevation, Illinois’ biggest threats are No. 4 Southern California,

No. 6 Arizona State and No. 8 Alabama — all of which are used to practicing in warmer weather. The event consists of three teams from the top 10, eight from the top 20 and 17 from the top 50, according to the latest Golfweek rankings. The Illini are the only team from the Midwest in the top 50 competing. “It’s a perfect opportunity for us to gauge ourselves in the early part of our season against many of the top teams in the country,” Small said. “This could be an NCAA preview.” Then-No. 3 Texas, who lost in the quarterfinals of the 2015 NCAA Tournament and now ranks fifth in Golfweek, won the UNLVhosted event by 10 strokes last year 3 with a 26-under 8 838.

“We certainly dug ourselves a hole in singles,” head coach Evan Clark said. “To their credit, Jerricka (Boone), Ines and Alexis (Casati) were able to dig us out. To lose all six first sets in singles and come back shows us there is a problem, but also shows a tremendous amount of fight from our team.” Kwong quickly lost 6-1, 6-3 to Wisconsin’s Lauren Chypyha. Soon after, Madie Baillon and Jaclyn Switkes followed suit and the Badgers took a 3-1 lead. But the Illini won the three final contests with Vias, Boone and Casati all snagging singles victories.

Illinois takes home 9th-straight Illinois Classic win BY TYLER FEDAK STAFF WRITER
The Illinois women’s gymnastics team hosted the Illinois Classic on Saturday, defending a title it’s held for eight years. The team carried the momentum from its three-meet winning streak into the matchup against Northern Illinois, Illinois State and UIC and came out on top. The Illini posted a total score of 195.425 and took home titles on all events — except for bars — and the all-around. They gathered a 49.150 event total on beam, making it the team’s fourth straight meet scoring above 49 on the event. The beam rotation was highlighted by senior Sunny Kato’s 9.925 scoring performance. Kato has been consistent on beam, posting a 9.925 or higher for four meets straight, and garnering the event title each meet. “I’ve really just been focusing on trying to put myself in a competition setting at practice and that always helps,” Kato said. “There’s always room to improve, so every day in the gym I try to do something better and I’m hoping to eventually
Illinois vs. Northern Illinois/Illinois State/UIC
Summary: Illinois women’s gymnastics took on Northern Illinois, Illinois State and UIC this Saturday in the State of Illinois Classic and won their ninth-straight title. The team’s performance was highlighted by the floor(49.325) and beam(49.150) rotations. Key player: Giana O’Connor claimed the floor crown with a score of 9.900 to top off the
break my record.” Illinois’ victory was sealed on the floor event where they tallied a season-best 49.325. All of the Illinois gymnasts posted a 9.800 or higher, led by senior Giana O’Connor 9.900 mark, good enough for the event title. The 195.425 may have produced a winning total for the Illini, but it’s not the score they’re looking to see at this point in the season. Head coach Kim Landrus’ team made multiple mistakes on bars for a second straight meet. With two falls in six routines, the Illini had to count non-hit routines in their event total. ”I think we hit a good three events. We struggled on bars so we had to count a major mistake,” Landrus said. “I’ve seen these girls hit their routines many times a week and we’ve got to do it on gameday so I know that they were disappointed with what happened today and I know that they’re going to go back and reevaluate what they’re doing everyday and how they’re doing it and really get out of it.” The Illini accounted for the
team’s season-high 49.325 performance. Sunny Kato performed a 9.925 on beam, winning the beam crown for the fourth straight meet. Quote of the game: “There were so many positives today that I think will carry us far as we go into postseason” — head coach Kim Landrus Up next: Illinois competes at the Big Five Meet in Columbus, Ohio, Saturday, March 12.

Illinois’ Sunny Kato performs a routine on the balance beam during the State of Illinois Classic at Huff Hall on Saturday. Illinois claimed victory for the ninth consecutive year. mistake in the second half of the meet, where the beam and floor rotations boosted their score. “After bars, the way we came back, I was really proud of the team for just forgetting about bars, moving on and having a great time on beam and floor,” Kato said. “That’s all I can ask for of my teammates.” The Illini had five gymnasts named to the 2016 All-State team — freshmen Haylee Roe and Lizzy LeDuc, junior Erin Buchanan, O’Connor and Kato. Roe had a successful day, performing a career high 9.825 on beam and tying her career-high 9.825 on floor. She also competed on vault for the fi rst time since the beginning of the season, posting a 9.700. “I felt really good, I think having good training behind me is what gave me the confidence,” Roe said. “It really helped going into today knowing that I could do it and that my team had my back.” This was Illinois’ fi fth lowest score of the season.

and Kato said the gymnasts were frustrated and disappointed with the end result and will use that to better themselves for next week. “It was a little frustrating because we’re capable of a lot more,” Roe said. “I think, going into next week and preparing for the Big Five, we really just have to focus down on details and hitting routines.” Landrus wants to focus on the good things that her team can take away from this meet. She pointed out performances from Roe and freshman Brielle Nguyen, who turned in career-highs at the meet and have improved a great deal this season. “There were so many positives today that I think will carry us far as we go into the postseason,” Landrus said. “If we have a problem, we have to fi nd solutions and that’s what it’s going to come down to.”
Illinois men’s gymnastics head coach Justin Spring has repeated “you do not rise to the occasion — you fall to the level of your training,” to his team all season long. And on Saturday his squad rose. In the Illini’s first five-up five-count meet this season, the team hauled in a school record 442.300 points, despite performing at a higher altitude inside the U.S. Air Force Academy. California and Air Force finished second and third, scoring 434.050 and 433.450 respectively. “I think the altitude actually really messes you up honestly,” sophomore Bobby Baker said. “You’re winded (going) through a routine just because you’re not used to it.” Suspended from Illinois’ last home meet and the Winter Cup Challenge, Baker returned to the lineup Saturday. In his eyes, missing the last two competitions allowed him to work on parts of his routines that he’s struggled with the entire year, and the results were clearly on display in Colorado. The reigning Big Ten Gymnast of the Year led the way for the Illini. He earned the vault title after scoring a career-high 15.300, and picked up two more crowns on parallel bars and in the all-around. “His scores speak for how important Bobby is to our team,” Spring said. “(Bobby) put up an 89 in the all-around … Coming off three weeks of training, I think he was itching to get back to competition.” The headlining moment of the meet was Illinois’ performance on the pommel horse. Sophomore Brandon Ngai continued to make the argument that he’s the nation’s best gymnast on the apparatus, earning his sixth straight title with a score of 15.550. Spring has praised Ngai for his consistency all season, but upon entering the Air Force Academy, the rest of the team hadn’t performed well on the pommel horse. Thanks to junior Tom Gibbs, that would change. “Tom stepped up and started us off great,” Spring said. “I think it really stems from him. Finally having that first guy up doing his job, and then the rest of the guys just kind of steamrolled and continued doing a tremendous job.” Gibbs posted a score of 14.850, beginning what would be a strong team performance on the pommel horse. Illinois’ score of 76.150 Saturday is currently the highest score in the country for the event, and the second-highest score ever recorded in the NCAA. In the locker room after the meet, the Illini huddled together, congratulating each other on the victory. Team captains Gibbs and senior Logan Bradley each shared moments in which they thought the team did well, but in spite of improving to 12-3 on the season, Spring’s attention was on what the team did poorly. “We had a test of resilience and a couple mistakes … and obviously had some break out events,” Spring said. “The bigger picture for me still is looking at future potential … There’s still a lot of places to increase our team score.”
