Three representatives from Sasaki Associ-ates Inc. presented plans, information andcampus survey results to employees of theuniversity.

Questions and concerns were also ad-dressed in a short Q-and-A session after thepresentation.

The planners from Sasaki, faculty andstaff all showed concern for student welfareon campus in their presentations and ques-tions.

Ideas on how to spread out amenities oncampus to make them more available for stu-dents living in different areas of campus werediscussed.

SUGAR CAN BE SNEAKYThe best defense against a holiday glut-

and-stress cycle is indulging in the rightfoods.

A few weeks ago I decided to try an exper-iment. Though I am a big proponent of healthyeating, I realized that sugar had crept into mydiet and I vowed to change some habits.

I examined the culprits, and they allseemed so harmless — a glass of orangejuice here, a banana there, a vitamin waterwith lunch, a gin and tonic with dinner, somepeppermints, bubblegum from the machine, acandy bar.

OK — not all of it seems harmless, butthose apparently insignificant items can takea toll, with the above totaling around 160grams, or 13 tablespoons, of sugar.

UK volleyball celebrates Senior Dayon Sunday, looking to curb a two-gameskid against Georgia (13-13, 7-9 SEC) inMemorial Coliseum at 1:30 p.m.

The Cats and head coach Craig Skin-ner will honor seniors Stephanie Klefot,Christine Hartmann and Ashley Frazierbefore the match.

Klefot has been the Cats' libero sinceher freshman season in 2009. That year,

The Edge runs every Friday before a UKfootball game. It breaks down two keymatchups between UK and its opponent, thengives an overall edge to one side or the other.

UK defense vs. Samford running back FabianTruss

Truss is among the premier running backs

in the Football Championship Subdivision.His 1,026 rushing yards this season lead theteam, and he has scored more touchdowns in2012 (11) than the Bulldogs’ entire passinggame (10). But Truss is not the first talentedback UK has had to prepare for this season.

Vanderbilt’s Zac Stacy, Arkansas’ KnileDavis, South Carolina’s Marcus Lattimoreand Florida’s Mike Gillislee have all poseddifficult obstacles for the Cats throughoutconference play, and that experience hasserved to strengthen the defense as the seasonhas continued on. Although UK is allowingopponents to rush for 177 yards per game thisseason, Samford’s offense will not be as bal-anced as UK’s other opponents. If the Catscan focus on stopping the run and force thegame into Samford quarterback Andy Sum-merlin’s arm, their job will become much eas-ier.

Edge: UK The Cats are a superior team athletically

to the Bulldogs, an advantage UK has not hada chance to rely on much this season. Sincesophomore Bud Dupree’s move to weaksidelinebacker earlier this year and senior TaylorWyndham sliding into Dupree’s former de-fensive end position, UK has kept a lot of size

on the field on defense. A young secondarywill be ready to fly around CommonwealthStadium to help honor its fellow seniors anddeparting head coach Joker Phillips, allowingUK’s front seven to focus on the run. Trussshould have a handful of nice runs but willnot be allowed to act as a difference-makerfor Samford in this one.

Overall Edge: UKMuch like its 47-14 win over Kent State

in week two, the team’s only win of the sea-son, UK shouldn’t struggle very much on Sat-urday. While the Bulldogs post an impressive7-3 record in the FCS, they have yet to takeon an opponent at the highest level of collegefootball. The Cats, on the other hand, haveplayed exclusively teams at that level. UKhasn’t won a game since Sept. 8, costingPhillips his job at season’s end. The Cats cansense their second victory of the season, andsending off their beloved seniors and coach-ing staff with a win should serve as extra mo-tivation. For the first time since the start ofSEC play UK is finally favored in a game,and it certainly won’t let that opportunity passit by. After the way the season has unfolded,the Cats will take no win for granted.

FINAL SCORE: UK 38, Samford 13

The circumstances and pressure to win anational championship in 1978 would have en-gulfed most coaches.

The Cats had gone an unheard of 20 yearssince claiming a title, butspent nearly the entire sea-son atop the polls with anexperienced, talented, sen-ior-laden squad.

Head coach Joe B. Hallwas in his sixth year follow-ing the legendary AdolphRupp, who had led the Catsto four championships in an11-season span between1948 and 1958.

If Hall was to ever wina title, ’78 was to be theyear.

Hall risks it all in NCAA first roundAll looked lost in the first round of the

NCAA Tournament, as the Cats faced Florida

State in Knoxville, Tenn. The teams had metthe previous year, and the Cats pounded theSeminoles by 40 points (97-57).

A stunned crowd watched the tournamentfavorite sleepwalk through the first half andwent into halftime down 39-32.

As the commonwealth held its collectivebreath, Hall sprung in to action.

“Coach Hall was very animated and upsetat halftime,” said Jack Givens, senior forwardfor the Cats in 1978. “That is kind of his style.”

In addition to verbally peeling the paint offthe walls in locker room, Hall made an evenmore daring move.

As the Cats took the floor for the secondhalf, three of its All-American starters werebenched, leaving the fate of the team in thehands of little-used reserves Fred Cowan,Dwane Casey and Lavon Williams.

“They (Florida State) had a quick ball cluband was beating us back on offense,” Hall said.“I benched three starters and put in three subs

that would get back on defense.”The strategy worked. “Coach really went off at the half. Kind of

like a shock treatment. It kind of got those guysthat were really struggling a chance to catchtheir breath and take a look at the speed of thegame,” said ’78 point guard Kyle Macy. “Itwas really a gutsy move to pull your starters atthe half. His job was essentially on the line.There were a lot of people at that time stillweren’t sold that he should be the coach.”

The reserves made an impact, and thestarters returned focused. Once the five startersreturned to the lineup, they went on a 14-0 run,leading the Cats to a 85-76 win — surviving afirst-round scare in Knoxville.

“It was a situation where players needed tobe woke up and get in to the game mentally,”Hall said. “The starters we put on the benchwoke up and the ones I put in the game felt theurgency.”

Givens said that Hall is remembered more

for that risky move than any other coachingadjustment he made during his career.

“I really believe that if that had not worked,I am not sure he would have been back ascoach in 1980,” said Oscar Combs, founder ofThe Cats’ Pause and member of the KentuckyJournalism Hall of Fame. “He would havebeen back the next year, but ‘79 was the re-building year where they made just the NIT.”

Championship The Cats dispatched Miami (Ohio),

Michigan State and Arkansas to earn a trip tothe national championship game against Dukein the Checkerdome in St. Louis.

Givens dominated that game, scoring 41points to lead Hall’s Cats to a national champi-onship.

Duke had wanted to pressure UK’s shoot-ers but also keep the post bottled up, so itplayed a very spread-out zone defense.

Hall earns fame in own right

Cats take on Samford in last home game

UK takes on LafayetteHoops aims toregain direction Cats play Leopards as part of Barclays Center Classic

timeout sports

Looking to bounce back from Tuesday’s blowout loss on the road at No. 1 Baylor,No. 6 UK Hoops (1-1, 0-0 SEC) returns toMemorial Coliseum on Saturday to take onHigh Point.

The Baylor loss presented head coachMatthew Mitchell and his Cats with ad-versity early in the season: an obstructionin the path to reaching the Final Four,which Mitchell and his players have re-peatedly referenced as their ultimate goalthis season.

Saturday’s game against High Pointwill give UK a chance to regain a senseof direction on that path.

With many players active on theroster who did not play for various rea-sons last season, Mitchell said beforethe Baylor game that his team was stillworking on building its identity. Thoughjunior Maegan Conwright has started atpoint guard in the first two games of theseason, junior Kastine Evans, freshmanJanee Thompson and senior A’dia Math-ies have all been rotated into the onespot at regular intervals. Also in heavyrotation is UK’s frontcourt, where start-ing juniors Samarie Walker and DeNeshaStallworth split time with senior BrittanyHenderson and sophomore Azia Bishop.

Three players who have remained con-stants from last season are Mathies, Walk-

er, and sophomore guard Bria Goss.The three were UK stats leadersagainst Baylor, with Mathies record-ing 12 points, four rebounds and four

assists, Goss tallying 11 points and fiverebounds, and Walker pulling in nine re-bounds to go with six baskets.

Meeting the Cats on their return toLexington will be the Panthers of HighPoint (1-1, 0-0 Big South). The Pan-

thers are led by three re-turning starters, juniorguard Tayler Tremblay,junior center Cheyenne

Parker and senior guard ErinReynolds. Parker and Reynolds have been

named preseason All-Big South, asParker, the 2012 Big South Defen-sive Player of the Year, averaged 13points and 12.2 rebounds per gamelast season, with Reynolds averaging

15.9 points and 4.3 assists per game, aswell as a school-record 88 steals.

High Point is under the charge of sec-ond-year head coach DeUnna Hendrix. Shereturns six of her top seven scorers from lastseason, as well as bringing on three new re-cruits.

UK and High Point will face off at 1 p.m.Saturday.

Coming off its first loss of the season, the UKmen’s basketball team returns home to take on theLafayette Leopards on Friday night.

Tuesday’s seven-point loss to Duke was a learningexperience for the Cats, but also a game they thoughtthey should have won.

“We saw we can fight back,” graduate student JuliusMays said, “but we let them make some plays and thatcame from them being a veteran team and us being ayounger team. I think we can take a lot from it.”

Much contention after the game was aimed at theinterior defense, mainly freshman forward Nerlens Noeland his tendency to leave his feet too soon on shotfakes, resulting in easy offensive rebounds and scores.But, according to UK head coach John Calipari, he isnot the problem.

“He was aggressive. I was really happy with Ner-lens,” Calipari said. “If you watched, it was his manthat got that rebound probably four times when it wascritical. When he goes to help somebody, nobody ishelping him. ”

There isn’t much to update on sophomore guardRyan Harrow’s recovery from the flu, Calipari said.Harrow didn’t make the trip to Atlanta on Tuesday andremains a question mark for Friday’s game.

“He worked out yesterday, but he’s still not 100 per-cent, “Calipari said. “We’re telling him, you’ve got toget your energy. We were a little bit short last game andwe know it. I want him back.”

A point of emphasis in practice this week has beenconditioning. Calipari said one takeaway from the latestretch of the Duke loss was that his team ran out of en-ergy and its level of execution slipped as a result.

“We watched film of the game yesterday,” Mayssaid. “There was that stretch where we didn’t score andthey were making winning plays and we weren’t. I’msure that’s what we’re going to work on in practice —learning how to push through even when you’re tired.”

Lafayette, which beat LIU-Brooklyn by four onMonday, is a young team in its own right. The Leop-ards, who boast only four upperclassmen, have a bigfrontcourt with five players at 6-foot-9 or taller.

“This team plays great stuff,” Calipari said. “They runour stuff, but they do it higher. So if you get lazy, you’regoing to pay a price. It’s what we need right now.”

The first two games will serve as a benchmark ofsorts as UK rolls into a stretch of three games that, onpaper, should be fairly lopsided.

“It was a benefit playing good teams early on,”sophomore forward Kyle Wiltjer said. “But, we want tolook at every game the same and prepare like we havebeen.”

The game, part of the Barclays Center Classic, willstart at 7 p.m. It will be televised locally on Fox SportsSouth.

Recruit Townsdeciding Dec. 4

This week, all five members of UK’s No.1 ranked 2013 recruiting class made theirpledges official when they signed to attendUK.

But, Karl Towns Jr., the No. 1 overallplayer in the class of 2015, has taken someof the attention away from the openingweeks of the early signing period by electingto make a decision of his own.

He is only a sophomore, but the youngforward will make his verbal commitment onTuesday, Dec. 4.

“He is going to make an announcementat our school on December 4,” St. JosephHigh School athletic director Jerry Smithtold the Kernel. “It will be in the gym infront of our student body.”

According to Smith, the early decisionby Towns “caught us off guard, but the mainreason was to stop all the phone calls and thedisturbances at home from all the various in-stitutions after him.”

“He wanted to get it off his shoulders,”Smith said.

St. Joseph High School, in New Jersey,will host a press conference at 10 a.m.,which will be aired live on MSG Varsity, aregional cable network. There will likely bea live feed to a radio station in Kentucky aswell, Smith said.

“Based on the conversations I had withMSG Varsity when they checked out ourgym and they said they wanted to get a feedto a radio station and it ended with K-Y,”Smith said.

According to Smith, the decision hascome down to three schools: Florida, Dukeand Kentucky.

But it seems as though UK may have theedge to this point. Towns spent a majority ofthe summer playing for UK head coach JohnCalipari and his coaching staff for the Do-minican National team.

“Karl really fell in love with Orlando

(Antigua). That is his main guy,” Smithsaid. “When he gets down to Kentucky heis going to be an unbelievable celebrity.Not so much for his play, which will beoutstanding, but for the way he speaks andhandles himself and involves himself witheveryone.

“They are going to fall in love with thiskid.”

The Metuchen, N.J., native is already themost highly coveted 15-year-old in the bas-ketball world, but with his time in Lexingtonthis summer working out with current NBAplayers and the elite coaching staff at UK, hehas seemingly taken his game to yet anotherlevel.

“When you get coached by collegecoaches, your game really takes off,” Smithsaid.

“The only thing he lacks now is thephysical strength because he can score in-side, outside, he can handle.”

The skill set the 6-foot-11 forward pos-sesses is obvious, but it is his off-the-courtgifts that truly sets him apart from hispeers.

“He is so gifted, he has like a 4.2 GPAand he has all accelerated courses,” Smithsaid.

The accelerated courses will allowTowns to reclassify and go to college early ifhe so chooses.

“He is so bright that there is no reasonfor him to just waste his time (in highschool),” Smith told the Kernel, “but weare a high academic institution. We are acollege prep school and he will probablyenter one of those programs in his junioryear.”

The decision to reclassify should comesometime after his college announcement onDec. 4, a decision that some around the UKprogram might feel comfortable about.

“I went to school in Kentucky,” saidSmith, who attended Bellarmine University.“So I know he is going to fit perfectly downthere.”

Soccer falls to Xavier in tourney

Men’s soccer crashed out of the NCAATournament on Thursday with a 1-0 lossagainst Xavier at the UK Soccer Complex.

The top scorer, senior forward LukeSpencer, bagged the winning goal for the visi-

tors four minutes from time, to set up a secondround meeting with Indiana on Sunday.

“It’s a tough loss for us, of course,” saidUK head coach Johan Cedergren.

Were it not for UK’s junior goalkeeperJack Van Arsdale, the margin of victorycould have been greater.

“I’m not happy with how we played to-day, I think the occasion maybe got the bet-ter of us at times,” Cedergren said.

Xavier dominated the game for largespells and was unfortunate not to take a leadinto the halftime interval, with UK strug-gling to get a strong sight of goal.

A mixture of Van Arsdale heroics andpoor finishing from the visitors kept thingslevel going into the break.

Junior midfielders Tanner Petrick andGino De Paoli, along with Spencer, allsquandered scoring chances for the Muske-teers, with all failing to hit the target.

Another Xavier junior midfielder, Matt

Walker, was denied by Van Arsdale whenclean through on goal.

Sophomore midfielder Will Walker andleading scorer Spencer ran the show as thevisitors pressed for the go-ahead goal beforehalftime.

Aside from UK senior midfielder MattLodge’s two blocked shots early in the half,it was the same story after the break.

“From the oldest of times, people dancedfor a number of reasons. They danced inprayer ... or so that their crops would beplentiful ... or so their hunt would be good,”said Ren in “Footloose.”

The UK Dance Ensemble dances for art’ssake.

The ensemble often uses dance to sendmessages to its audience. To them, it’s a ki-netic form of art.

“We approach it (dancing) from an artisticstandpoint,” said Elizabeth Foster, an elemen-tary education senior who is a nine-semesterveteran and president of the ensemble.

“It’s not really just about dancing just todance. It’s dancing with a reason,” she said.“With most of the pieces we choreograph,we’re saying something.”

The art and message of the ensemble willbe on display at a fall concert this weekendat the Singletary Center.

Performances will be composed of 11separate student choreographed pieces, andone piece choreographed by special guestLaurie Fields, who is the director of Dancers’Studio in Lexington.

With more than 40 dancers in the show,the ensemble does not limit its dancers toone genre of music or style of dance.

“We have a lot of different genres go-ing,” said Stephanie Carpenter, a chemistryjunior and ensemble secretary and dancer.

Other styles include a beat-boy, a tappiece and a few ballet pieces.

“One song is even about a cult and tryingto escape that life,” Carpenter said. “Anotheris about memory loss.

“Our concerts have a lot of variousthemes, a lot of variety and a lot of high en-ergy.”

Ensemble concerts are similar to danceteam performances in that they both includestudents dancing. However, instead of per-forming one short dance to a mashup ofsongs, the dance ensemble strings togethera full concert of dances in every perform-ance.

The ensemble has “a lot more jazz, a lotmore musical theater and more modern artelement than the dance team,” Carpentersaid.

“Dance team is great, but they’re moresong-based while we’re much more concert-based,” Carpenter added.

Despite having an acceptance rate of al-

most 33 percent of auditioners, the dance en-semble has pulled together members who areas diverse as its choices of music and dancestyles.

“A lot of people think dancing is kind ofa girl thing, but it’s not,” Foster said. “We dohave guys in the club.

“We have people from all sorts of back-

grounds, beliefs and places. Dancers comefrom all sorts of places, but we all come to-gether to dance and that’s the importantthing.”

Performances are Saturday at 8 p.m. andSunday at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $10 for students and $15 forthe public.

The Staff Senate hosted an open forumfeaturing the preferred candidate for the po-sition of executive vice president for fi-nance and administration, Eric Monday.

“We need to get to a point where every-one in Kentucky can say the University ofKentucky does something for them or hasan impact in their life,” Eric Monday saidThursday morning.

Monday is currently the vice chancellorfor finance administrative services and chieffinancial officer at Louisiana State Univer-sity.

A search committee began the processby reviewing 50 potential candidates.

From there, UK had 10 personal inter-views and brought five candidates to Lex-ington. Monday is the selected preferred

candidate.Monday spent the majority of the forum

answering questions from both those pres-ent and those watching online.

“In my first 90 days I plan to listen andlearn by meeting with students, faculty andgroups on campus. The idea of people com-ing to you doesn’t work. You have to go tothem,” Monday said in response to an onlinequestion. “I go to the dining halls, interactwith those on campus and respond to theirneeds.”

Monday said he enjoys days filled withmeetings and learning about campus proj-ects, and that listening to faculty and stu-dents is a major aspect of his managementphilosophy.

Building relationships among universitylegislative bodies, corporations and thecommunity is something Monday said hehas experience with and can use to better

UK. Monday was asked how he would han-

dle problems. He responded by saying thathe seeks to understand the side of everyparty involved, know the risks and rewardsof a decision and go in a direction that isbest for the university.

Student Anthony Pendleton asked Mon-day how he would handle projects on cam-pus that cause disruptions, such as buildingrenovations in White Hall Classroom Build-ing. Monday said that as a university UKmust look at transitions, and strong commu-nication among departments will be neces-sary.

As part of his management philosophy,Monday said he “must focus on the studentin order to build the best environment forsuccess.”

”We ... can disagree in private but mustsupport each other in public,” Monday said.

UK Student Government Vice PresidentMary Katherine Kington asked Mondaywhat he believed were the strengths of theuniversity. Monday said focused leadership,a supportive board and a growing studentbody are major strengths right now.

Monday went on to say that the SEChas many schools with record-setting num-bers of students in their freshman classesand a lot of diversity exists within thoseclasses, and that UK is in that group.

When asked why he wanted to come toUK, Monday responded, “This is an amaz-ing and exciting time for UK. The book isalready bound and the pages are beingfilled in for the growth of the university.”

And arguably the most important ques-tion for Monday was left for last: basketballor football?

“Both,” Monday responded with alaugh.

“Our whole offense completely changedfrom a typical zone offense to just finding Jackon the floor,” Macy said.

The Cats found an opening in the zone atthe free-throw line extended, and Givens con-nected from mid-range early and often, hitting18-of-27 from the field.

“Jack was an excellent mid-range jumpshooter,” Hall said. “When he got rolling, hewas impossible to stop.”

Givens knew he was having a special nightby the end of the first half.

“I think I scored the last 15 points for usgoing into the half,” Givens said. “So most ofthe discussion at halftime was figuring out wayto get me shots.”

The win ended the 20-year championshipdrought for the Cats and earned Hall the na-tional title he desired.

“We made it to the Great Eight the year be-fore, but lost in our chance to make the FinalFour,” Givens said. “After we lost that game,we players put it on ourselves to not come upshort the following year. The pressure wasn’tinduced by Coach Hall. The pressure wasn’tcreated by the media, the pressure was createdby ourselves.”

Following a legendHall’s 13-year coaching career (297-100)

features three Elite Eight finishes, a Final Fourand the National Championship in 1978. He isthe only coach in college basketball history tosuccessfully follow directly in the footsteps ofa coaching legend.

Not only did he follow a legend, but he fol-lowed a legend who left the game reluctantly.Rupp was forced to retire because of hitting theuniversity policy mandating retirement at theage of 70 for administrative positions.

“Adolph went out kicking and scream-

ing,” Combs said. “There were people thatwere going to resent whoever replaced him.”

Other programs have struggled replacingcoaching legends, even without such extenu-ating circumstances.

Former UCLA head coach John Wooden(620-147) won 10 national titles in 12 sea-sons, including seven in a row, retiring afterwinning it all in 1975.

The Bruins subsequently went throughfive new coaches over the following 10 yearsand have one national title (1995) sinceWooden departed.

Bob Knight led the Indiana Hoosiers for29 years (662-239), winning the national titlethree times (1976, 1981 and 1987). TheHoosiers went a perfect 32-0 in 1976.

After Knight’s dismissal in 2000, theHoosiers were led by Mike Davis for sixyears. Davis led the team to the finals in hissecond year, but failed to advance beyond thesecond round the rest of his tenure.

Davis was eventually replaced by KelvinSampson, who took the Hoosiers from losingin the early rounds to not even competing inthe postseason due to probation.

Some 13 years later, IU appears to beback on the right track under the direction ofTom Crean, who has the Hoosiers on top ofthe polls this season.

Dean Smith coached North Carolina for 36seasons (879-254), taking the Tar Heels to 11Final Fours and winning two national titles.

When Smith retired in 1997, he had themost wins in Division I history.

Smith was succeeded by 30-year assistantBill Guthridge, who also retired after a 80-28three-year record during which the Heels madetwo Final Fours.

The Heels then turned the reigns over toformer player Matt Doherty, who led UNC

three years, including an eight-win season in2001-02.

Adolph Rupp, Dean Smith, Bobby Knightand John Wooden — all coaching legends.

Only one of those men had someone fol-low him directly and achieve success in theform of a lengthy tenure and a national cham-pionship — that is Rupp with Joe B. Hall.

“He (Hall) was able to follow a legend,”Macy said. “There are really no other caseswhere a coach has come in after a legend hascoached and continued that success.”

Ironically, Hall joins Smith and Knight asthe only three men to ever win a national titleas both a player and head coach.

InnovatorHall was an innovator in the game, and

understood what the UK basketball gamemeant to the commonwealth of Kentucky.

“It goes unnoticed at times, how much ofan innovator he was in the game. He was re-ally the first coach to bring in lifting weightsand the hard preseason conditioning,” Macysaid. “He played two big men together. Whenhe was coaching he was very serious and histeams were very disciplined.”

He was the first coach to make the teammore of statewide attraction, sending the teamout to various sites to compete in Blue-Whitepreseason scrimmages to give fans in the out-er reaches of the state a chance to see theCats.

“It was good from a player perspective,”Macy said. “You realize the importance ofKentucky basketball to those fans out in thestate, not just the ones around campus.”

Combs saw the impact the move had forthe program.

“When hestarted taking theteam out in thestate for the scrim-mages, that iswhen the state re-ally started to em-brace the team andbrought it towhere it is today,”Combs said.

Hall also start-ed the tradition ofMidnight Madness(now Big BlueMadness) at UK,and helped estab-lish the WildcatLodge as a specialhousing area for players.

“Hall was at times difficult to play for. Hereally knew the game, and was knowledge-able about how to coach and get the best outof his players,” Givens said. “There weretimes he wasn’t all that much fun to play for,but I think that is the way he wanted it. Heused that style, that he learned from AdolphRupp, to motivate players and get the best outof each guy he had on the team.”

Inclusion Hall has worked with former U of L head

coach Denny Crum on the “Joe B. and Den-ny” sports talk show on WKRD 790-AM inLouisville.

Crum and Hall had many common inter-ests, including hunting and fishing, and had afriendly social relationship even during theiryears of being rival coaches in Kentucky.

“We have a lot of fun with it, and hasbeen great for both us to look forward to itevery day,” Hall said.

Hall is seemingly more popular and morerespected now more than ever before. Hall isa constant fixture at UK practices, and currentUK head coach John Calipari seems intent onincluding Hall in as many events as possible.

Former coaches Tubby Smith and BillyGillispie embraced Hall’s presence to a de-gree, according to Combs, but Calipari hastaken it to another level.

From appearances in ESPN’s All-AccessKentucky show, to helping to ceremoniallyre-raise all the championship banners duringBig Blue Madness, Hall is around the pro-gram more now than at any time since histenure as coach ended.

“Coach Cal has really opened up every-thing to me in regards to the program. I go tomany of the practices. Coach Crum and Iboth participated in the Dominican Republicgame,” Hall said. “He has given me a lot ofattention and consideration. He is just a veryoutgoing and nice person.”

In September a bronze statue of Hall infront of the new Wildcat Coal Lodge was un-veiled.

“There are coaches in this profession thathave to follow legends in their time,” Calipari

said at the statue dedi-cation. “No one thatfollowed those othercoaches won champi-onships — no one.There is one guy, andwe are with him today— Coach Hall. Whathe did here to get thisthing right is phenom-enal.”

Hall is also beingrecognized for hiscoaching record andwill be inducted Sun-day in the NationalCollegiate BasketballHall of Fame inKansas City, Mo.

“It means a lot,”Hall said about the inductions. “It is recogni-tion by your peers, and is very meaningful.”

He will enter the Hall of Fame to join pre-viously inducted legends such as Knight,Rupp, Smith and Wooden.

“It is unfortunate that it took this long tohappen,” Givens said. “I am proud of his ac-complishments and glad that I had an oppor-tunity to play for him and to be on a teamcoached by a Hall of Fame coach.”

were very disciplined.”•Kyle Macy, 1978 point guard

LOS ANGELES — Bruce Springsteen andthe E Street Band will help anchor another all-star benefit to aid in Hurricane Sandy relief ef-forts, once again joined by fellow New Jerseyand New York artists Jon Bon Jovi and BillyJoel. The Dec. 12 concert “12-12-12” will beheld at Madison Square Garden and also fea-ture the likes of Kanye West, Paul McCartney,Alicia Keys, Roger Waters and the Who.

More artists are expected to be unveiled.Ticket information for the concert was not yetreleased, and the benefit is to be produced byClear Channel Media and Entertainment, theMadison Square Garden Co. and the Wein-stein Co.

A press release notes that “telecast infor-mation” will also be unveiled in the days tocome.

Proceeds from the “12-12-12” concertwill go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund, whichdistributes money and materials to local or-ganizations. With Clear Channel promotingthe concert via its online/mobile platform

iHeartRadio, expect there to be some sort ofsimulcast or post-show archive of perform-ances.

A host of major artists have already donat-ed time and/or money to Hurricane Sandybenefit efforts. A Nov. 2 concert “HurricaneSandy: Coming Together” aired on NBC andits platforms and featured Springsteen and hisE Street Band performing “The Land of Hopeand Dreams.” Among the other songs per-formed on the NBC benefit were Joel's “Mia-mi 2017” and Bon Jovi's “Living on a Prayer.”

In a proper concert setting at MadisonSquare Garden, artists will no doubt be givenmore freedom and time to perform. Also, the“12-12-12” benefit will feature hip-hop lumi-nary West, who, readers may remember, has atendency to speak his mind. And here's bettingit closes with Keys leading a crowd sing-along on “Empire State of Mind.”

Lodge twice went close as he tried togive his side an unlikely lead.

UK began to press late on, with Lodgeand fellow senior midfielder Cameron Wildercreating several half chances for their team.

“I think we lacked the final product,”said Lodge of his team’s offensive output.

Van Arsdale was again forced into an-other save with 10 minutes to play, as both

teams opened up in search of a winner.That winner came in the 86th minute

when good buildup play by Matt and WillWalker allowed Spencer to turn the ballhome from 6 yards, giving his team a spotin round two.

Despite the loss, Cedgren’s first year atthe helm ended with an overall record of10-9-2 and UK’s first NCAA Tournamentappearance since 2003.

“It’s been one heck of a season,” hesaid. “I couldn’t be any prouder of theguys.”
