Baker said if the council doesn’t honor the contract, they could be subject to a lawsuit. When asked what the plan was for who or what would take over for the village administrator position, none of the council members provided an answer. Gerlach said the next step is to build a Board of Public Affairs that would oversee water, sewer, street maintenance and other responsibilities. Gerlach said council hasn’t come up with a way to pay for this yet and said the situation has left Middleport in “a serious mess.” Middleport Solicitor Mick Barr was in attendance to discuss the veto powers of a village mayor. Barr said, based on his interpretation and analysis of Section 705.75 of the Ohio Revised Code, that the mayor of a federal charter style village has the power to veto, but the mayor of a statutory village doesn’t have the exact same privilege. Gerlach asked Barr if the mayor of a statutory village cannot veto and Barr said there was nothing in the Ohio Revised Code that said a statutory mayor can’t veto. This issue stemmed after Gerlach vetoed Ordinance 95-14 to get rid of the village administrator position. Resident Bruce Martin presented a petition with 132 signatures that supported the mayor’s veto at the Feb. 23 meeting. Martin was at the meeting to ask council to overturn the ordinance. Heighton made motions to overturn the ordinance, but failed to get a second both times. See COUNCIL | 5 Mason Council discusses spring agenda By Mindy Kearns For the Register MASON — With the worst of the winter weather hopefully behind us, the Mason Town Council discussed several items that come with the spring season when it recently met. According to Recorder Ciji Casto, council members set the town’s annual Easter Egg Hunt for Saturday, April 4. The hunt will begin promptly at noon at Stewart-Johnson V.F.W./Lottie Jenks Memorial Park. Age groups and additional details will be announced later. Dates for the town-wide spring clean-up were also chosen by council. The event will be May 4-8. Residents can schedule town workers to pick up their unwanted items, with the cost being determined by the size of the load. Additional information will be announced closer to the date. Council members discussed the possibility of hiring a park/cleaning attendant for the season at the Stewart-Johnson V.F.W./Lottie Jenks Memorial Park. In the past, the town has maintained the park in one of two ways: either by hiring a seasonal worker or by appointing a current employee to care for it. The issue was tabled and will be discussed at a later date. Several decisions affecting employees were made during the meeting. It was agreed to look into purchasing four basic cellular phones, with no texting or data, for laborers to use for work only, including when the employee is “on call.” It was noted the bill will be monitored to make sure the phones are not being used for personal business. The council decided water/sewer department employees will be given three attempts to pass testing for new or upgraded licenses. Any attempts after that will be on the employees’ own time and expense. An addendum will be added to the employee handbook, the council agreed. It will be regarding “on call” shifts. In other action, the council: Approved an amendment to the upcoming sidewalk project, eliminating the section in front of Bob Evans, across the street, and the crosswalk area; Discussed a list of equipment repairs that need addressed, with council requesting a more detailed list; Agreed to purchase tire chains for the mower to assist with snow removal on sidewalks; See AGENDA | 5 — NEWS Obituaries: 2 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 — SPORTS Basketball: 6 Schedule: 6 — FEATURES Television: 7 Classified: 8 Comics: 9 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Miss WV speaks on violence, bullying By Mindy Kearns For the Register NEW HAVEN — Miss West Virginia 2014 Paige Madden of Moundsville made her first appearance Monday in Mason County when she spoke about violence and bullying to about 500 students at New Haven Elementary School. Madden, whose platform is “Silence Hides Violence: Empowering Women in Abusive Situations,” has spoken in 84 schools across the state. Madden said she simplifies the platform when speaking to elementary-age children, explaining violence and bullying, and what a child should do if he or she is a victim. Madden made two presentations, one to primary and another to intermediate students. She told the children that violence is “people hurting people” and can take both physical and verbal forms.

In the face of a growing controversy over her use of a private email address and server, Clinton was defiant in insisting she had not violated any federal laws or Obama administration rules. “I fully complied by every rule I was governed by,” Clinton said in a 20-minute news conference that marked her first comments on the matter. The controversy has upended Clinton’s careful blueprint for the rollout of her 2016 presidential campaign. The clear front-runner for the Democratic nomination, Clinton had planned to spend March touting her work on women’s issues and giving a handful of paid speeches before announcing her candidacy in early April. Clinton tried to stick to that plan in the days after details of her email use became public. But as criticism from Republicans mounted and Democratic allies started publicly pushing Clinton to address the matter, her team hastily arranged Tuesday’s brief news conference. The former secretary of state described her decision to rely exclusively on her private account as a matter of convenience and a way to avoid carrying two devices. She said she had not used her personal email to discuss any classified information. Clinton said her server would remain private. She said she had exchanged 60,000 emails, half of which were personal and were discarded. “I had no reason to save them,” Clinton said of the personal emails. She described the Richard Drew | AP Hillary Rodham Clinton answers questions at a news conference at the United Nations on Tuesday. Clinton conceded Tuesday that she should have used a government email account to conduct business as secretary of state, saying her decision was simply a matter of “convenience.” destroyed communications as ones related to her daughter’s wedding, her mother’s funeral, her yoga routine and other matters. “Everything that could be in any way connected to work is now in the possession of the State Department,” Clinton said. Some of those emails have been turned over to a congressional committee investigating the deaths of four Americans at a U.S. facility in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012. Rep. Trey Gowdy, the South Carolina Republican leading the committee, said Clinton’s comments Tuesday left him with more questions than answers. “There remain serious questions about the security of the system she employed from a national security standpoint,” Gowdy said. Clinton spoke shortly after delivering remarks at a women’s empowerment event at the United Nations. She then made her way to a nearby hallway where dozens of reporters and photographers were awaiting her first formal news conference since leaving the State Department in early 2013. Before the question-andanswer session, Clinton’s only comment on the matter had been a late-night tweet last week saying she wanted the State Department to the release her emails. Clinton served as the nation’s top diplomat throughout President Barack Obama’s first term. In late 2014, nearly two years after she left the administration, she turned over 55,000 pages of emails to the State Department in response to an agency request. The department says it will take several months to review the material. Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Tuesday that once the review is complete, the emails will be posted online for the public to see. Passages revealing anything from trade secrets to sensitive national security information could be redacted, in keeping with Freedom of Information Act guidelines. The email disclosures have raised questions about whether she fully complied with federal laws requiring government officials to preserve written communications involving official business. By using her own email server, traced to an Internet connection registered to her hometown in Chappaqua, New York, she gained more control over her email than she would have had using a government server. At the very least, Clinton appears to have violated what the White House has called “very specific guidance” that officials should use government email to conduct business. Clinton said she emailed her State Department colleagues on their government accounts and therefore expected her communications would be archived. Her office says the material turned over to the State Department last year represents 90 percent of her communications. But because Clinton was operating her own email server, only she and her closest aides know that for sure.

At the same time, Republicans complain he has made few overtures to work with them since the election. The president and GOP leaders last met face-to-face on Jan. 13 during a meeting at the White House, and Boehner and Obama have not spoken since a phone call later that month. There has been scant contact between the president and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and a so-called “bourbon summit” that the president and majority leader had lightheartedly talked about arranging is on neither party’s calendar. “They don’t want to work with us, they don’t want to do anything with us,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. “I mean, come on. I can’t imagine Bill Clinton or Ronald Reagan or George Herbert Walker Bush doing some of the things that they’re doing that make all of these things more difficult.” The White House and Democrats blame Republicans, arguing they can’t find a way to compromise because of the outsize sway held by the most conservative, tea partybacked elements of the party. Boehner has had repeated difficulties controlling this group of lawmakers, finally passing a bill to fund the Homeland Security Department last week only with Democrat- ic help. Democrats increasingly question whether Republicans treat Obama’s administration with the deference due to the presidency. The Iran letter was the most visible example, but some Democrats also chafed when McConnell penned an opinion piece urging states to ignore Obama administration climate rules. The dynamic of a lameduck president clashing with Congress on his way out of the door is not a new one. President George W. Bush struggled over Iraq troop levels and pushed unsuccessfully to pass an immigration bill. President Bill Clinton faced impeachment proceedings.

Frankly, we find that just a bit hypocritical. After all, this is a president who says he can govern unilaterally with a phone and a pen. It raises the question: What right does he have to complain about being bypassed? But now Netanyahu has spoken, and the propriety of his appearance seems far less important than what he said. For those who have longed to hear frank talk about America’s adversaries in the Middle East, Netanyahu was a tonic. He spoke with the kind of bluntness that endears Israel to its admirers and frustrates its detractors. It is the kind of bluntness that is forged from assessing national threats in terms of survival, not whether the next move might drive gas prices up $1 a gallon or send the Dow down 100 points. Netanyahu warned that the agreement that the United States appears ready to reach with Iran has two flaws. It leaves Iran’s nuclear infrastructure intact for a decade and then legitimizes activities that could quickly lead to weapons production. It “doesn’t block Iran’s path to the bomb, it paves Iran’s path to the bomb,” the Israeli prime minister said. And that, he said, is unacceptable. “We must always remember — I’ll say it one more time — the greatest danger facing our world is the marriage of militant Islam with nuclear weapons,” he said. For Israel, that fact is self-evident. Its small size means that only a couple of nukes could virtually wipe out the nation. Until now, America’s policy has always been zero tolerance for a nuclear-armed Iran. It makes pretty good sense when the chant of “death to America” rises from the regime with alarming frequency. Obama has not said it is time to just accept the fact that Iran will obtain nuclear weapons, but his strategy seems to be to hope that during its nuclear program’s 10-year hiatus, Iran will learn to play nice. Iran’s history says that it is not about to change. Its history says that it cannot be trusted. Its history says that the burning ember of hatred for Israel and the U.S. won’t dim over a mere decade. Netanyahu made it clear that Israel does not intend to stand idly by. The Israelis value America as an ally but are prepared to go it alone if necessary. “The days when the Jewish people remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies — those days are over,” he said. Netanyahu stopped short of telling Israeli soldiers to “lock and load,” but not by much. Reprinted from the Jacksonville Daily News.

My colleagues were less than sympathetic, feeling that their discomfort all winter had been my fault. You might say that my suggestions that they turn the thermostat down was met with a frosty reception. But it was Fred that came to my rescue. When he checked and found my office hovering around 110 degrees with the door open, he set about to come up with a plan to take care of it. Eventually a vent was put in above my door with a fan to blow hot air into the hall. In addition, he removed ceiling tiles in the fake ceiling to let air escape into the attic, and he blocked the heat vent. It was still plenty warm, but it was finally livable. When the day arrived that my office was somewhat reasonable, one of my colleague stopped in again. He had a bag in his hand and was grinning. “Hey, I don’t have time to go down to the spa tonight, so I got some ice and was wondering if you might consider putting the ceiling tiles back in and letting me sit in your office.” As sweat rolled down my face I laughed with him at his unfunny joke. Then I confiscated his ice. Daris Howard, award-winning, syndicated columnist, playwright, and author, can be contacted at daris@darishoward.com. TODAY IN HISTORY...

Gwiazdowsky made the argument that the road was fine and brought students worked together to create Bugs a wheelchair made out of K’Nex blocks. While the structure wasn’t sturdy enough for the rabbit, Leatherman said she was impressed by her students’ initiative. Stephon Chapell, a fifth grader, was one of those students, and helped Bethany Wyatt, a classroom personal assistant, put another wheelchair together made of PVC pipe, trash can wheels and a harness. “He was good at walking,” Chapell said. Eventually, the group made another PVC wheelchair that was a bit taller to accompany Bugs’ back legs better, and Leatherman said the chair worked out great. “If (the students) saw him fall down without a word they would just go back over and pick him up and let him keep moving,” she said. “The wheelchair was really cool for them several signatures from people that live on the street saying the road was fine.

She advised the children to never get between two people who are physically fighting. Madden told them to leave the room and go for help. Verbal abuse, Madden told the students, is when someone says something that hurts you. She explained bullying is hurting someone purposely and taught the group how to “S.I.T.” “S.I.T.” is an acronym Madden developed to teach students how to handle a verbal bullying situation. “S” stands for “stop.” Children should tell a person to stop if they feel that person is being hurtful, even if they feel the person is joking and not doing it on purpose. “I” is for “ignore.” The second thing Madden told the children to do is to ignore the person calling them names. And finally, “T” stands for “tell.” After going through the first two steps, Madden told the students a person should know that they are hurting you. If they don’t stop, it is time to tell an adult.

For now, however, Urban Meyer doesn’t want to even think about it. “When you say, ‘How does it play out?’ I don’t know,” he said Tuesday after the national champion Buckeyes’ first of 15 spring practices. “It’s day to day, player by player. That’s the focus — not what’s going to happen and what we foresee.” With only one of Ohio State’s three starquarterbacks healthy right now, the volume has been muted about who will end up under center for the Sept. 7 opener at Virginia Tech. Cardale Jones, who quarterbacked the three stirring wins to close out a 14-1 campaign, was taking first-team snaps Tuesday. Braxton Miller, the three-year starter heading into last season, is limited by shoulder surgery in August. J.T. Barrett, who led the way through last year’s regular season, was in uniform but is still recovering from a broken ankle. The rest of the Buckeyes aren’t taking sides. “I know we’ve got three good quarterbacks who can all play,” offensive tackle Taylor Decker said. “And whoever they throw in there, I know we’ll be fine. That’s for the coaches to figure out. I’ll just do my job.” Miller did some stretching and lowerbody conditioning, but didn’t throw. While Jones is clearly the No. 1 guy this spring, Miller and Barrett remained nearby and involved. There was speculation after the season that Jones — coming off a big postseason as a third-year sophomore — would make himself available for the NFL draft. There was also talk that Miller, a twotime Big Ten player of the year and now a graduate student, would transfer to avoid the logjam at the position. But none of those scenarios panned out. So the quarterback question figures to be an ongoing, and perhaps unwelcome, specter hovering over the Buckeyes. Meyer said he has never discussed the possibility with Miller of playing another position. Same goes for Jones and Barrett, last year’s first-team All-Big Ten quarterback as a redshirt freshman. “At some point there’ll be some (stress) because of the respect I have for those three guys,” Meyer said. “If I disliked one or two of them, it would not be that hard. That’s the only dilemma that I can see happening. But not right now.” Currently, Meyer and his staff are most concerned with finding replacements for four graduated starters on each side of the ball. And also with maintaining the momentum from last season’s remarkable 13-game winning streak which culminated in a 42-20 victory over Oregon in major college football’s first playoff finale. Last year’s success left its mark around the team’s practice facility. There’s a giant picture of the 2014 squad in the team meeting room. Then there’s a huge image of the national championship trophy on a banner on the side of the indoor field. Also, a massive sign on the one end of the practice field that used to say “The Chase” has been replaced by one Meyer had made that says, “The Grind.” “‘It’s what our program’s about,” linebacker Joshua Perry said of that motto. “You sharpen, you shape, you pulverize — it’s a lot of friction. So, we like that. That’s how you develop players and that’s how you get the best out of people.” See BUCKEYES | 10 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Wednesday, March 11 Boys basketball Southern vs. Paint Valley at Ohio University, 8 p.m. Thursday, March 12 Wrestling OHSAA state meet, 3 p.m. Friday, March 13 Wrestling OHSAA state meet, 10 a.m. College softball Asbury at Rio Grande (DH) 3 p.m. College track and field Rio Grande at Coastal Carolina, TBA Saturday, March 14 Wrestling OHSAA state meet, 10 a.m. College baseball Purdue-North Central at Rio Grande, 10 a.m. College softball Asbury at Rio Grande (DH) 1 p.m. College track and field Rio Grande at Coastal Carolina Third time a charm for Tawney Photo courtesy of Paul Boggs | Jackson County Times-Journal Gallia Academy senior Cole Tawney will be making his third consecutive trip to the OHSAA wrestling championships this Thursday after finishing in the top-four at the Division II Southeast-Southwest District tournament held last weekend at Southeastern High School in Ross County.

Jordan Walker was also named as an honorable mention selection for the GAHS girls team, a first for the junior in basketball. The Blue Devils (5-19, 1-7 SEOAL) were represented by junior Wes Jarrell on the All-SEOAL team, while senior Alex White was an honorable mention selection. It was the first all-league honors for either basketball player, although Jarrell was an honorable mention choice last winter.

(AP) — These Kentucky Wildcats have the chance to reach heights no team in the program’s history has ever achieved — become undefeated national champions. Losing seems unthinkable. On the other hand, a loss in this week’s Southeastern Conference tournament might not be the worst thing in the world for the top-ranked Wildcats. Kentucky coach John Calipari seems unfazed by the prospect of a conference tournament loss — as long as it’s the last one his team suffers in pursuit of national championship No. 9. “This week has no bearing on where we’re going to be seeded,” Calipari said during Monday’s SEC coaches teleconference, “and the most important thing for us is to be the best and the last team standing. “Now, if that includes one loss or no losses. … You know what? I’d rather have none, but one’s OK, too.” Kentucky (31-0, 18-0 SEC) has recently shown its resiliency after a conference tournament loss. The program’s last national title in 2012 followed a loss in the conference championship game to Vanderbilt; losing to Florida in last year’s SEC final ended up spurring the Wildcats’ run to the NCAA final. Kentucky likely will be No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament regardless of what happens in the SEC tournament that begins Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee. The Wildcats open on Friday afternoon against the Florida-Alabama winner at Bridgestone Arena, which might seem like a home game with Big Blue Nation expected to pack the place. “We’re not really worried about the SEC tournament,” junior post player Willie Cauley-Stein said. “It’s more like we’re playing for the fans there. They’re going to travel everywhere anyway, but especially there.” But the attention, scru- tiny and pressure figure to increase substantially as the nation watches to see if Kentucky has the fortitude to win three tournament games in three days. Murray State had the nation’s second-longest winning streak at 25 games until Belmont knocked off the Racers Saturday night in the Ohio Valley Conference tournament championship. “It’s hard to keep winning and winning and winning …,” Belmont coach Rick Byrd said. “It wears on you. It’s tough to do. And you hear the talk, ‘Is it better to lose one like Kentucky this year? Is it better to lose one before the tournament or not?’ It’s difficult.” Byrd said he told his Belmont players that Murray State was the one with the most to lose. The Wildcats can appreciate that, and expect to face motivated opponents that will be getting a second or third crack at them. But freshman forward Trey Lyles said the Wildcats are not fretting about possibly losing a game. “I don’t think it would have an effect,” Trey Lyles said. “Everybody going into March is 0-0, undefeated in March. We’ve just got to go out there and just play hard.” Former Kentucky coach Joe B. Hall would like to see the Wildcats run the table, but believes a loss could help a squad that has had its way this season. “This team hasn’t had that hurt that you get when you go home at night and get a bowl of antacids and a big spoon and start eating. It’s something that you have to experience,” said Hall, who led Kentucky to the 1978 NCAA title and two other Final Fours. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see them lose a game in the SEC tournament because I think in the back of their minds they’re thinking more about being in the Final Four,” Hall added. “That’s a big danger they face in the (SEC) tournament against these teams that they’ve already beaten.” TIP-INS: Virginia Tech: Hudson broke the school’s ACC tournament mark held by A.D. Vassallo, who scored 26 against North Carolina in the 2009 quarterfinals. Wake Forest: For the third time in five years, the Demon Deacons finished winless away from WinstonSalem against ACC teams. ... They ended coach Danny Manning’s first season with three straight losses and their only one ACC tournament win since 2007 came last year. STAR WATCH: This was the second time in 15 days that the Hokies put the ball in Hudson’s hands with the game on the line. Virginia Tech had a chance to beat then-No. 4 Duke on Feb. 25 but Hudson missed a layup at the end of regulation — the Hokies insist he was fouled — and the Blue Devils won 91-86 in overtime. The winning bucket in this game came on a similar play: “I kind of learned from the Duke game because I know in the last seconds like that, refs don’t want to put the game in their hands,” Hudson said. “I tried to finish by avoiding contact.” UP NEXT: Virginia Tech: Plays Miami on Wednesday night in the second round of the ACC tournament.

(“Tennessee”) filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“Commission”) an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity (“Application”), pursuant to Sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, to abandon by sale certain mainline facilities, located in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio, and to construct, install, modify, operate, and maintain certain mainline facilities located in Ohio and Kentucky, as described in more detail below (referred to herein as the “Abandonment and Capacity Restoration Project” or the “Project”). The Commission assigned Docket No. CP15-88-000 to the certificate proceeding. Tennessee, a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan Inc., is an interstate natural gas transmission pipeline company that is subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission. Tennessee has been in operation since 1943 and its principal office is located at 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002. The facilities to be abandoned in place consist primarily of one of multiple looped parallel pipelines that comprise approximately 964 miles of older vintage, mainline pipeline facilities between Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, and Columbiana County, Ohio (these facilities are referred to herein as the “Abandoned Line”), as more completely described in Tennessee’s Application. In order to replace the capacity that would otherwise be lost by abandoning the Abandoned Line, Tennessee proposes to construct and operate: (i) approximately 7.6 miles of new pipeline looping in Carter and Lewis counties, Kentucky; (ii) four new compressor stations, all in Ohio; (iii) additional compression at one existing compressor station in Kentucky; and (iv) additional compression at one compressor station proposed in a separate docket (Docket No. CP15-77-000) to be constructed by Tennessee in Kentucky (collectively, referred to herein as the “Replacement Facilities”), as more completely described in the Application. The construction of the Replacement Facilities will allow Tennessee to maintain service to its existing firm customers. Tennessee proposes to commence construction of the Replacement Facilities and begin the reconfiguration of its system by late first quarter of 2016. Tennessee is requesting that the Commission issue a final order granting the requested authorizations by February 15, 2016. The issuance of the requested authorizations by that date will allow Tennessee to construct the Replacement Facilities and to carry out the activities necessary to abandon the Abandoned Line facilities by late 2017. During construction, restoration, and mitigation activities for the Project, Tennessee will follow the Commission’s Upland Erosion Control, Revegetation and Maintenance Plan (May 2013 version) and the Commission’s Wetland and Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures (May 2013 version). If you are interested in reviewing Tennessee’s Application pertaining to the Project, an electronic copy of the public version of the complete Application is available for public viewing at the locations listed on the Project’s website, available at the following address: http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/ docs/FERC_Viewing_Locations.pdf. Additionally, a copy of Tennessee’s Application is available for viewing on the Commission’s website at www.ferc.gov. Also available on this website is the Commission’s most recent landowner pamphlet entitled “An Interstate Natural Gas Facility on My Land? What Do I Need To Know?” The pamphlet includes the FERC’s summary of landowner rights at FERC. You may reach the Commission through its website or by calling the Commission’s Office of External Affairs at (866) 208-3372. Should your property be directly affected by this Project, a representative of Tennessee will contact you in the near future to discuss the Project. Tennessee has mailed notices to landowners directly affected by this Project, to landowners whose property abuts the Project, and to local government entities. If you have not received such a notice, your property is most likely not affected. * (+i%t(, !$$(ss, t , -.ˆ ()i( $(+, P ()s (# CALL TODAY FOR IMMEDIATE HELP!

The real spotlight still belongs to the low- and midmajors. After all, the first-round ACC matchups of Georgia Tech-Boston College and Virginia Tech-Wake Forest amount to four teams that are a combined 28 games below .500, fighting merely for the right to face North Carolina and Miami, respectively. Each winner would still need to win four more games to earn an automatic berth to the NCAA tournament. Impossible? Nope. Unlikely? You bet. So you might as well keep an eye some lower-profile leagues that have high hopes of their champions busting some brackets. St. Francis and Robert Morris will be fighting for the Northeast Conference title, and Green Bay and Valparaiso will be facing off for the Horizon League. That would be the same Robert Morris that nearly took down Villanova a handful of years ago, and the same Valpo whose coach, Bryce Drew, is part of NCAA tournament lore. The Summit League and West Coast Conference will also have championships up for grabs, though No. 7 Gonzaga may be the one team that knows it will be playing next week regardless. St. Francis, the top seed in the Northeast, will be trying to punch its NCAA tournament ticket for the first time. The Terriers lost to Monmouth in 2001 and Wagner two years later with a bid on the line, but remains one of just five schools that have never made the NCAA tournament’s ever- expanding field since the modern reclassification of Division I in 1948. They’ll be taking on secondseeded Robert Morris, which is back in its conference title game for the sixth time in seven seasons after a semifinal win over Bryant. “I think this year is probably our best chance to win the championship,” said Colonials forward Lucky Jones. “We have a lot of depth. We have a lot of athleticism. We have a lot of heart. I think this year we’re more together than any team here the last four years.” Led by high-scoring guard Keifer Sykes, second-seeded Green Bay is playing for its first conference tournament title in 17 seasons. Top-seeded Valparaiso won the regular-season title, but the two schools split their meetings this season, each winning at home. “We have some work to do,” Drew said. SO ABOUT THAT BUBBLE: Valpo can take the drama out of Selection Sunday by beating Green Bay, but the Crusaders would still have hope of making the NCAA tournament as an at-large selection with a loss. They are 27-5 with a blowout win over fellow bubble team Murray State, though losses to Missouri and New Mexico won’t help their cause. WEST COAST DRAMA: Every team clinging to the bubble will be staying up late to watch the West Coast Conference tournament unfold. Gonzaga is a lock for an atlarge spot if it trips up, but BYU could be teetering on the edge — or taking one of those precious few at-large bids. NERVOUS NELLIES: So who, besides Murray State, is sweating things out this week? Well, start in the major conferences. Schools such as LSU, Ole Miss and Oklahoma State can take a lot of stress out of Kansas prepared to play without Alexander KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Eleven straight conference championships and a national title has understandably made Kansas coach Bill Self secure enough to acknowledge when he’s made a mistake. That was the case when he looked back on last season. The Jayhawks headed into the Big 12 tournament unsure of whether they would have Joel Embiid, one of the nation’s premiere post players, because of a lingering foot injury. Self held out hope that the star freshman would be ready, so he built his plan around that assumption. Embiid never stepped on the court again for the Jayhawks, who wound up losing to Iowa State in the Big 12 semifinals, then fell to Stanford the first weekend of the NCAA tournament. “Last year, we made a mistake,” Self said this week. “We thought we’d get Joel back based on what we’d been told, and it just didn’t work out that way. No one’s fault. It didn’t work out that way. But you kind of approach coaching the team thinking that he’ll come back, and I don’t know if that’s the right approach.” That’s why Self is taking a different tact as the top-seeded Jayhawks pre- pare to open the Big 12 tournament on Thursday afternoon at the Sprint Center. Freshman forward Cliff Alexander missed the last few games of the regular season amid NCAA concerns about his eligibility. Self is again holding out hope that he’ll have his best interior defender will be available, but this time he’s not counting on it. He is counting on having the rest of his players back — leading scorer Perry Ellis from a knee injury, point guard Frank Mason III from a sore ankle and Brannen Greene from a suspension. “I’m going to coach this team like we’re going to get Perry back, and he’s going to be 100 percent, which we believe will be the case very soon,” Self said. “Wayne will be 100 percent, BG will be back, and then whatever happens with Cliff will be a bonus.” The Big 12 tournament begins Wednesday night when eighth-seeded Kansas State faces No. 9 seed TCU, and seventh-seeded Texas plays No. 10 seed Texas Tech in the nightcap. The Jayhawks will face the winner of the opener in the quarterfinals on Thursday. Second-seeded Iowa State gets the winner of Game 2. Baylor faces West Virginia and Oklahoma takes on Oklahoma State in the two quarterfinals that are already set. “Every team in the league is capable. It’s one of the best leagues in the country,” Kansas guard Kelly Oubre Jr. said. “You can be beaten on any given night. Texas had some great wins. We slipped up and let a couple teams get us that shouldn’t. It’s a great league.” Texas and Oklahoma State may have the most riding on things this week. The Longhorns, once ranked in the top five nationally, went through plenty of struggles this season. But they’ve been playing better down the stretch, and now a couple of wins in Kansas City could be enough to push them off the bubble and into the NCAA tournament. The Cowboys are also sitting precariously on the bubble. “I don’t think there’s any question the Big 12, any night, all 10 teams have been NCAA-type teams,” Oklahoma state coach Travis Ford said. “This is as strong as I’ve ever seen it.
