Legendary Cowgirl coach enters Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame
By JERIMY SHERIN Staff Reporter The highly successful but tragically short career of an Oklahoma State University basketball coach was honored on Saturday. OSU women’s basketball coach Kurt Budke was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tennessee, along with five other prominent figures in the sport. Budke’s contributions to the women’s basketball program at OSU are well known around Stillwater, but his record in the junior college system is equally impressive. Budke won four NJCAA championships at Trinity Valley Community College in six years (1993-1999), and was the NJCAA Coach of the Year in both 1995 and 1998. He took six different teams to the NCAA tournament in nine years at both Louisiana Tech and Oklahoma State from 2002 to 2011, and reached the Sweet 16 with the Cowgirls in 2008. TRAGEDY STRIKES Budke was killed in a plane crash on Nov. 17, 2011, just days after the women’s program opened the season with a win over Rice University. Budke, along with assistant coach Miranda Serna and OSU boosters Olin and Paula Branstetter, was traveling to Little Rock to visit possible recruits. The aircraft went down over Perry County, Arkansas, and
there were no survivors onboard. “This is our worst nightmare,” OSU President Burns Hargis said at the time. “The entire OSU family is very close, very close indeed. To lose anyone, especially these two individuals who are incredible life forces in our family, it is worse beyond words.” Current head coach Jim Littell was assistant head coach at the time of the accident, and then served as interim head coach. He was officially designated as head coach on Dec. 9, 2011. The Cowgirls would go on to win the Women’s National Invitation Tournament that year. According to its website, the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame “is an international museum dedicated to preserving the history of women’s basketball.” “The Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame opened in June 1999 in Knoxville, Tennessee,” it says. “It is the only facility of its kind dedicated to all levels of women’s basketball.” Shelley Budke, Kurt’s wife, said that Kurt’s induction meant a great deal to the family. “Sara, Alex, Brett and I are honored to be in Knoxville to accept this great honor on behalf of Kurt,” she said. “We know he would be humbled. Kurt was a competitor and loved coaching the game of basketball, but most

importantly he loved helping young women get their college education.” LASTING IMPACT Shelley also discussed the Kurt Budke Scholarship Foundation that was created in his memory.
“The Kurt Budke Scholarship Foundation is a 501C3 non-profit organization,” she said. “Our main fundraiser is the Orange Blazer Classic Golf Tournament. It was developed so we could honor Kurt’s memory and share with
O’COLLY
others something that was very important to him. He wanted his athletes to get their college degree.” Shelley pointed out that this year, the foundation awarded three scholarships to OSU students. Students Jeremy Brown and Macy Miller each received a $1,000 scholarship, and Quinn Llewellyn received a $3,000 scholarship. “We are thankful for everyone who has supported our efforts in developing the Kurt Budke Scholarship Foundation,” she said. “It helps us to know we can help others in Kurt’s name.” Macy Miller, a senior majoring in human resources management, hopes to work in major league baseball. She described what it meant to be awarded the scholarship. “It meant a lot to me because I grew up playing basketball and really admired Kurt Budke’s coaching abilities,” Miller said. “I went to several OSU girls basketball games over the years and had the pleasure of watching him in action. He was not only a great coach, but a great father, friend and mentor to those around him. It was an honor for me that the Kurt Budke Scholarship Foundation thought that I portrayed some of the characteristics that he had as a person.” Jeremy Brown, a junior majoring in hotel and restaurant administration and development, expressed
his feelings about winning the scholarship. “To be a representative of the Budke Scholarship is a great honor,” Brown said. “I have had the pleasure of meeting the family and I intend to use this scholarship to help pay for tuition and books.” The Kurt Budke scholarship is available for students enrolled in at least 12 hours per semester for the previous year. Students enrolled in graduate school are also eligible to apply. Anyone interested in the scholarship is encouraged to visit https://financialaid.okstate.edu. The application for the Kurt Budke Scholarship is located under the “Non-OSU Scholarships” list. Due in part to his induction to the hall of fame, coach Budke’s legacy will live on in the number of lives he touched. From the lives of his children, to the players he coached, and even to the recipients of his foundation’s scholarships, the memory of coach Budke will thrive for generations to come. news@ocolly.com

Warriors gain mid-series momentum
By KAID KINZIE Sports Reporter After the first two games of the NBA Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors were deadlocked at 1-1. Once two more games were completed, not much had changed with another tie at 2-2. Game 5, however, finally saw one team gain the advantage. Games 3 through 5 didn’t require overtime, but still contained plenty of thrills. Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, was rocking and rolling from start to finish for Game 3. The fans screamed for an end to their 51-year championship drought. LeBron James once again had a huge game, scoring 40 points with 12 rebounds and eight assists, and the Cavaliers beat the Warriors 96-91 to take a 2-1 series lead. Suddenly, even with Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, Stephen Curry’s Warriors appeared to be in trouble. Matthew Dellavedova was the next hero for Cleveland behind James, scoring a Finals-best 20 points and continuing to pester Curry with his defense for the first three quarters. Constantly on the move and lunging for loose balls, Dellavedova was out-hustling everyone on the court. In the third quarter, it seemed as though the Cavs were going to end up blowing out the Warriors. Going on a 12-0 run and creating a 20-point lead, the roaring from the fans inside the arena was deafening. Cleveland was set

to win the game before the fourth quarter started. The league’s MVP continued to struggle with his shooting throughout the game, but finally found his touch again in the later stages. A three-pointer from Curry at the end of the third put a stop to Cleveland’s run, and then the Warriors opened up an impressive run of their own. The fourth quarter began with a 74-68 score favoring the Cavs. Curry would score 17 and hit five of his six total threes in that final quarter, helping his team claw back from the huge deficit. He even hit one 3-pointer with less than 20 seconds left to make the score 94-91.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 2015
WARRIORS GAIN MOMENTUM The Warriors refused to go away easily, but the Cavs refused to lose the game. LeBron was fouled and made both free throws with 16.8 seconds left to help seal the win. Curry finished Game 3 with 27 points, with Iguodala scoring 15 and Klay Thompson recording 14. Golden State also got some help from reserve player David Lee, who had yet to play in the Finals, but scored 11 in his debut. Now leading 2-1 in the series, and with Game 4 also in Cleveland, LeBron and his team had a perfect opportunity to take a commanding 3-1 lead.
Determined to bounce back and make a change, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made changes to his starting lineup. Going small, he benched Andrew Bogut and transitioned Draymond Green to center. Most notably, Andre Iguodala made his first start of the season at forward. LeBron James once again tallied 12 boards and eight assists, but finished with 20 points, which ranked about 21 below his series average. James also went 7-22 from the field. The entire Cavs team struggled to find the bottom of the net throughout the game. Shooting atrociously from deep,

hitting only 4 of 27 3-point attempts, it was a night they’ll soon hope to forget. J.R. Smith in particular tried the 3-point shot eight times and didn’t make one. Cleveland’s bench scored seven points all night, and this time Quicken Loans Arena didn’t have as much to rock about. Curry had his shooting stroke back in Game 4, matching his teammate Iguodala with 22 points and four 3-pointers made a piece. Curry splashed home one 3-pointer over Iman Shumpert late in the fourth quarter that eliminated all hope of a Cavs victory. The Warriors would go on to win 103-82 and

Review of the week: ‘Jurassic World’
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS & AMBLIN ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
“Jurassic World” is arguably the first true blockbuster of the summer.
As a follow-up to two disappointing -- albeit relatively far removed -sequels, “Jurassic World” hopes to serve as a fresh start for the science fiction-adventure series. It’s definitely entertaining enough, yet there’s only so much that can be done with such a familiar setup. Set more than 20 years after the disastrous events of “Jurassic Park,” “World” takes us back to Isla Nublar. New manage-
ment steps in and fulfills the late John Hammond’s dream of a fully functioning dinosaur theme park. Of course, there wouldn’t be much of a film if the park continued to run smoothly. In an attempt to recapture the public eye, the park creates a vicious genetic hybrid dinosaur. Everyone involved gets more than they bargained for, mayhem ensues, and the fun begins. “Jurassic Park’s” appro-
priate balance of CGI and practical effects is one of the main reasons it still holds up. Perhaps it’s unfair to compare the two films, especially considering that “Park” has the added benefit of being among the first movies to use CGI in a meaningful way. That said, only a handful of dinosaurs in “World” are brought to life through animatronics. The CGI excellently captures the
dinosaurs’ animalistic nature when it’s used appropriately, but more practical closeup shots would’ve gone a long way toward selling the beasts. On the outset, I was concerned about whether the movie would rely too heavily on the first film’s legacy. Although the filmmakers are undoubtedly aware of its presence as a cultural icon, most of the references are limited to glorified Easter eggs. “World” also tries to shake things up with a theme of consumer and corporate excess. It isn’t so on-the-nose as to feel preachy, though it isn’t

quite as prominent as it should be, either. Similarly, the first act captures the wonder of the park itself, but the sense of awe lessens as the film progresses. It’s ironic too, considering that the scale only gets grander as time goes on. The movie’s by-the-book structure is likely part of the reason for that. Although a couple of individual elements keep the film from feeling like a total retread, much of “Jurassic World” follows the same patterns as its predecessors. The cast is serviceable, but similarly to last
month’s “San Andreas,” no member elevates the material. Chris Pratt is an exceptional comedian, but only a couple of scenes allow him to accentuate his strengths. I still want to see him tackle more dramatic roles, but I couldn’t buy his steely, disciplined demeanor. “Jurassic World” is a solid summer blockbuster on its own; I just wish it had taken more chances. The dinosaurs themselves are still inherently fun to watch, but they don’t feel quite as alive as they used to. digital.ed@ocolly.com

Preview of the week: ‘Inside Out’ With the exception of “Cars,” virtually every film Pixar released throughout its first 15 years in business became hailed as a classic. By the release of 2010’s “Toy Story 3,” it had become not only the industry’s best animation studio, but perhaps the most talented film studio, period. Unfortunately, that pedigree has waned within recent years. “Cars 2” felt like an excuse to sell merchandise, while “Brave” suffered from a significantly less remarkable latter half. Even after “Monsters University” marked a return to excellence, it still wasn’t on par with the studio’s best work.
With Pete Doctor (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Up”) back at the helm, “Inside Out” looks poised to reclaim Pixar’s throne. The fantasy-comedy releases this weekend. The film follows Riley, a young girl whose life in the Midwest becomes uprooted when her dad receives a job opportunity in San Francisco. As a result, her emotions -Joy, Anger, Sadness, Disgust and Fear -- clash on how to handle the new environment. The premise alone is one the studio’s most creative, for Riley’s emotions themselves are represented as physical entities. Based on

the brief snippets I’ve seen, the back-and-forth among them looks hilariously heated. Pixar is at its best, however, when it attempts to tackle heavier themes amidst all of the comedy. “Ratatouille” stressed the positive aspects of change, while “The Incredibles,” as much of a superhero film as it was, is a midlife crisis story. Similarly, “Inside Out” seems prepared to address the trials of growing up. If the director’s track record is any indication, then we should be in for something special. digital.ed@ocolly.com
