The Gallia Meigs C.A.A’s Emergency HEAP Program, which began November 1, 2016, will be ending March 31. The ofﬁce is continuing to book appointments every Friday starting at 8 a.m. (unless it’s a holiday). Customers can call the Cheshire Ofﬁce at 740367-7341 or 740-992-6629, or they may walk-in to book an appointment. However, please note, an appointment may not extend a scheduled utility shutoff. Emergency HEAP provides assistance to households that have had utilities disconnected, face the threat of disconnection, or have 25 percent or less supply of bulk fuel, or less than 10 day supply of wood or coal. The program allows a one-time payment per heating season to restore or retain home heating. The potential dollar amount will be up to $175 for regulated utilities, up to $550 for unregulated utilities, up to $450 for INDEX Obituary: 2 News: 3 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 Sports: 8 Classifieds: 10 Comics: 11 wood, coal or pellets and up to 200 gallons for propane/fuel oil, etc., and up to 8 cylinders of propane, depending of the cost. The income guidelines for Regular HEAP and Emergency HEAP are the same; however, regular HEAP requires the previous 12 months income while the past three months income is acceptable for Emergency HEAP. The 12-month period or 3-month period for the help is determined from date of application making it possible for some with decreased income during these periods to qualify later in the program. Examples of these types of situations could occur from layoff, strike, retirement, disability or death of a spouse or household member. Documentation verifying all household income must be provided when applying for HEAP. Also a copy of the applicant’s most recent gas/ electric bill is required. It is also required that a customer provide social security cards for all household members.

Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook to share your thoughts. HARTFORD — A new women’s group that will promote encouragement and friendship is set to begin this month in the Bend Area. Evelyn Roush, longtime promoter of gospel music in the area, said “Women of Faith and Purpose” will hold their inaugural meeting March 14, 6 p.m., in the Father’s House Church fellowship building in Hartford. Roush said she has had a desire to organize a women’s outreach for a year, but it wasn’t until after a conversation with a special friend that God gave her the green light to go forward. The friend suffers partial HARRISON TOWNSHIP — The Gallia County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce is investigating a Sunday shooting in the 1100 Block of Clay Lick Road in Harrison Township. “At this time we know that one individual has been shot and one suspect is in custody,” said Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin. The suspect has been identiﬁed as Roger Waugh, 55, of Patriot. Waugh is charged with second-degree felonious assault after allegedly shooting a tenant of one of his properties after a dispute, according to Champlin. Champlin stated that his ofﬁcers processed blindness from retinitis pigmentosa, as well as depression from the death of her only daughter. Roush saw the need for a way for women to come together. “The gatherings are not of any particular church name, as all women are welcome, even if they don’t attend church,” Roush said. “We believe all who attend will leave saying it was an evening of true value sharing blessings of joy. Our goal is to be a blaze for the walk of those who need a light.” All meetings will include a program of inspiration, and will feature a surprise guest at the ﬁrst meeting. A potluck meal or snack bar foods will be held each time, and women are See FAITH | 5 OHIO VALLEY — The annual NCAA March Matchup Bracket (one of the few names not yet copyrighted by collegiate sport’s governing body) is in today’s newspaper.

Appalachian Ohio National Public Lands Day effort Registration for host sites close March 31 THE PLAINS — The public is invited to join state and federal agencies, groups, and citizens across Appalachian Ohio in celebrating National Public Lands Day (NPLD) on Saturday, Sept. 30. In support of the national effort, Rural Action is actively recruiting host sites in eastern and southern Ohio. The goal for each host site is to connect people to public lands in their community, inspire environmental stewardship, and encourage public lands for education, recreation, and general health. By registering as a host site, you will be part of a regionally branded effort that is shaping up to be the inaugural Appalachian Ohio National Public Lands Day (AONPLD). Rural Action, Tuesday, March 14, 2017 3 Buckeye Trail Association, Wayne National Forest, and Ohio Department of Natural Resources are working together to organize the largest NPLD event in the state’s history. Groups and organizations interested in participating can register through Rural Action at ruralaction.org/ aonpld. All efforts must take place with permission of the managing agency. According to Shannon Stewart, who is helping to coordinate the event in Appalachian Ohio, many types of activities are possible on AONPLD. “Participating groups can choose to host a service project, including a clean-up or trail maintenance, they may decide to do an educational activity such as an interpretive hike, or a fun activity like a canoe ﬂoat. All activities help get people outside and connected to the land. We want people to come out and appreciate and value what is here for all of us,” she said. “The beneﬁt of being part of this year’s public lands day is that for the ﬁrst time agencies and nonproﬁt organizations are working together to organize a day of service, education, and fun across Appalachian Ohio, and by working together to market (AONPLD) across the region we anticipate greater participation and look forward to seeing positive results in local communities” said Andrew Bashaw, executive director of Buckeye Trail Association. Registration for host sites closes March 31. The collaborative will then switch gears and help connect volunteers to sites they would like to join for AONPLD through September. Follow #AONPLD on social media for new developments. Nationally, NPLD is the largest, single-day volunteer effort for public lands. In 2016, over 200,000 participants volunteered on 2,600 sites around the nation, generating the equivalent of $18 million in volunteer efforts for our public lands.

(AP) — Girl Scouts have reported cash boxes stolen this past weekend from their cookie stands outside businesses from South Carolina to California. In San Diego, police arrested a 28-year-old man accused of snatching about $400 to $500 in cookie sales from a Girl Scout stand outside a grocery store Sunday afternoon. The man dropped his cell phone, and police were able to track him to a motel a few miles away, Ofﬁcer Billy Hernandez said Monday. The cookie money wasn’t found, and he was booked on petty theft charges. Also Sunday, in South Carolina, a mother and daughter were robbed as they sold Girl Scout cookies outside a WalMart store. Anderson County sheriff’s deputies said a woman asked them for change, then went back and forth to a Jeep, supposedly to see what ﬂavor cookies the driver wanted. She eventually paid $4 for a box of cookies but grabbed the money box, kicking the girl’s mother several times and dropping her cookies as she ﬂed, said Karen Kelly, a Girl Scouts spokeswoman in South Carolina. Similar robberies have been reported in a half a dozen other states this cookie-selling season. Analyst: 14M lose coverage WASHINGTON (AP) — Nonpartisan analysts project that 14 million people would lose coverage next year under the House bill dismantling former President Barack Obama’s health care law. The estimate is a blow to Republicans. Monday’s estimate by the Congressional Budget Ofﬁce says there would be 24 million more people uninsured by 2026 than under current law. The projections give fuel to opponents who warn the measure would toss millions of voters off insurance plans. Criticism has come from Democrats, Republicans from states that beneﬁt from Obama’s law and many corners of the health-care industry. President Donald Trump backs the GOP plan. Republican leaders have said their aim is to lower costs. They say coverage statistics are misleading because many people covered under Obama’s law have high out-ofpocket costs that make health care unaffordable. Intel to buy Mobileye DETROIT (AP) — Intel will buy Israel’s Mobileye in a deal valued at about $15 billion, instantly propelling the computer chip and technology giant to the forefront of autonomous vehicle technology. The deal announced Monday combines Mobileye’s marketleading software that processes information from cameras and other sensors with Intel’s hardware, data centers and its own software, giving automakers a one-stop place to shop for fully autonomous systems. “This acquisition essentially merges the intelligent eyes of the autonomous car with the intelligent brain that actually drives the car,” Intel CEO Brian Krzanich wrote in a note to employees about the acquisition. The combination, expected to close by year’s end, will allow the companies to bring components to market faster at a lower cost, solidifying Mobileye’s leadership position, ofﬁcials from the companies said. ‘Hamilton’ tour planned NEW YORK (AP) — Can’t get to see “Hamilton?” Take heart — another national tour is kicking off early next year.

The computer died. The heat stopped working, and the house fell silent. I exhaled and threw my head back. I cursed and stomped around. How long this time? Should we bother to call the service providers? Who wants to sit on hold for an hour? I was annoyed, to be honest. This was a huge inconvenience, I felt, brought on by a massive windstorm, and now everything would be delayed and the simplest things — light for getting dressed, hot water for showers — would have to be adjusted. And then I stopped. And I remembered something. Some of you know I operate an orphanage in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. There are 40 children there, nine nannies, another dozen staff members. And every night we lose our power. Every night. Not because of windstorms. Not because of earthquakes or hurricanes. The power just goes out. The city’s electrical grid is overtaxed, the equipment old or poorly maintained. Eight hours a day, on average, Port-Au-Prince has no electricity. And that’s the capital! Yet somehow, when I am there each month, this doesn’t bother me. I know the routine. A little bulb on the wall goes out, meaning city power is gone. If it’s nighttime, suddenly it’s pitch black. The fans stop spinning. Sweat pours down your forehead. One of our staff members is assigned to the generator. You wait to hear his tired footsteps clomping through the dark. It takes a few minutes. Eventually, you hear a revving motor. Unless that doesn’t work. Or we’re out of diesel fuel. In which case, you wait in humid darkness. You sweat. You listen to your breath. You hear stray dogs howling. Eventually you hear roosters. And another hot day begins. I remembered that last week, when I was one of more than 800,000 Michiganders to lose power, and I scolded myself for being such a baby. Why did I so readily accept inconvenience in one place and get so bothered by it in another? It speaks to how spoiled we can get in this country. And how easy it is to forget the rest of the world. Which is sort of what I was writing about when the power ﬂamed out. The original theme of this column was water. Bottled water. I read a report that said for the ﬁrst time ever, bottled water is now the No. 1 purchased beverage in America. More than soda. More than juice or Gatorade. Our annual “What we struggle to do without for days is what people elsewhere do without for a lifetime.” bottled-water consumption is nearly 40 gallons per person. That means the average American will buy the equivalent of 53 little 8-ounce bottled waters every single month! This is eight times what it was just three decades ago. But it’s exponentially what it was 50 years ago, when the idea of buying water in bottles was laughable. Remember those days? You wanted water, you ﬁlled a glass from the sink. Or you drank from a fountain. You wanted water in a store, they ﬁlled a cup and gave it to you. Selling water would be rude. Somehow, somewhere, we got hooked on the idea that water in a bottle is purer (thanks to clever marketing by beverage companies) and now, amazingly, we’ll pay $4 a bottle at an airport. Never mind that nearly half of bottled water brands come from municipal water supplies — same as what comes out of your sink. Hey, it’s what we’re used to. It’s what we want. This is not just a colossal waste of money, it’s pretty tone-deaf to much of the world where ﬁnding clean water is a huge challenge. A billion people on this planet do not have access to safe drinking water. A billion. That’s three times the size of our country. One in seven people on the planet. If we took the money Americans spent on buying bottled water each year — over $21 billion — we might make a small dent in how we preserve, manage and distribute our most precious natural resource. (We could start in Flint, where we witnessed a water crisis ﬁrsthand.) But we won’t. Even writing that sentence, I hear the coming screaming over global warming, overpopulation, politicians, ecology and free markets. So I’ll just revert to my original point. What terribly annoys us here is the norm for many places on Earth. What we struggle to do without for days is what people elsewhere do without for a lifetime. And while we live, in my opinion, in the greatest opportunity country in the world, we often forget that fact. Losing power here is an anomaly, not a way of life. And whenever we want to, we can go to a sink and replenish our bodies. It’s a concept we should never take for granted. When the power returns, I hope that lightbulb stays on in my head.

I was “Several years ago, I concluded that there was no one else to blame for any part of my dash being invisible or damaged.” Contained within me was the entire palette of possibilities. I could sketch a rocky cliff or a cobblestone path with my brush. I could press so hard that I soaked the canvas and punched a hole clear through or I could delicately stroke the genius inside of me and bask in the light of my creation. The choice was mine. A high school principal I used to work with always recited his favorite poem at graduation, “The Dash.” The author refers to the “dash,” as the area between two dates on a tombstone and challenges the reader to consider how he wishes to spend that dash. Several years ago, I concluded that there was no one else to blame for any part of my dash being invisible or damaged. I started adjusting the way I handled my brush. I held it ﬁrmly, but not enough to blur the lines. Once in a while I’d stand back and study the picture I was developing. I’d adjust my approach accordingly. I became motivated to complete projects inspired solely by my desires to enhance my life and make my dash count. Now I enjoy the activities I paint whether I excel at them or not. I bowl a 73, but I get more laughs out of the event than the score shows. I write, often receiving positive feedback and sometimes not, but the joy from doing it outnumbers the pages by far. The genius inside us all shines through our masterpiece when we apply the correct amount of pressure— when we don’t sell ourselves short. It is within this delicate tension we create our most dazzling dash. Michele Zirkle Marcum is a native of Meigs County, author of “Rain No Evil” and host of Life Speaks on AIR radio.

For pure drama, best wait ‘til the shots start ﬂying. For sheer excitement, Selection Sunday belonged to Northwestern. Though it was no surprise when that school’s name popped into the NCAA Tournament bracket, it was a reminder that, yes, this is March Madness — that time of year where anything can happen. The Wildcats, longtime losers in the Big Ten, were ofﬁcially invited to the tournament for the ﬁrst time in school history, and the group-hugging, selﬁe-taking reaction from the players (and others) when their name came up showed how much the accomplishment really meant. “When I came here four years ago, it was a belief in a day like today,” said coach Chris Collins, whose team won 23 games on its way to the tournament. Another set of Wildcats — the ones from Villanova — were given the tournament’s top overall seed. The defending champions were joined by Kansas, North Carolina and Gonzaga on the “1” line — a quartet that produced very little in the way of head scratching. With the brackets set, the action begins Tuesday and Wednesday with opening-round games that will include matchups between the last at-large teams invited into the draw: No. 11 seeds Providence vs. Southern California and Kansas State vs. Wake Forest. The tournament gets into full swing Thursday, with the Final Four set for April 1 and 3 in Phoenix. Villanova, which won the title last year on a buzzerbeating jump shot by Kris Jenkins, will open its quest for back-to-back titles against the winner of an opening-round game between New Orleans and Mount Saint Mary’s. “I want the guys to enjoy it tonight, and then tomorrow, we’re just one of 68 teams,” Villanova coach Jay Wright said. Though Kansas was the overall second seed, it opened as the favorite in Las Vegas, at 8-1. See NCAA | 9 Martin Truex Jr. wins at Vegas, Kyle Busch bloodied in brawl LAS VEGAS (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. ﬁnished speaking to reporters after winning the NASCAR Cup race Sunday and retreated into a corner of the media center where a tablet awaited with the video cued up. Truex had to see the Kyle Busch-Joey Logano brawl, too. “I’m sure NASCAR is going to love that one,” Truex said. Truex passed Brad Keselowski with two laps to go and avoided a last-lap wreck and ensuing ﬁght that left Busch’s forehead bloodied in a wild ﬁnish. An aggressive Joey Logano got into Busch as they raced for third, sending Busch spinning down pit road at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “It was nothing intentional,” Logano said. “But obviously he thinks that.” As Truex headed toward victory circle, Busch walked down pit road, turned right and threw a right hook at Logano’s face. Logano’s crew members brought Busch to the ground as NASCAR ofﬁcials yelled for them to stop. When they were separated and Busch got to his feet, he had a bloody gash above his right eye. “There wasn’t much talking, just a lot of swinging,” said Logano, who said he was unhurt. “I was racing hard there at end.” Busch, who had recovered from a speeding penalty that left him a lap down to get into contention, was escorted to the inﬁeld care center and quickly released as the track buzzed. “I got dumped. He ﬂat out just drove straight in the corner and wrecked me,” Busch said. “That’s how Joey races, so he’s going to get it.” The ﬁght overshadowed a dominating day for Truex and a tough-luck ﬁnish for Keselowski, who appeared to be pulling away after a restart and on his way to his second win in as many weeks when he ran into mechanical problems. “I just know it was something major,” he said. “It wouldn’t turn and I lost brakes.” Truex passed him and held on to become the ﬁrst driver to win all three segments in NASCAR Cup’s new stage racing. Kyle Larson was second, followed by Chase Elliott, Logano and Keselowski.

That’s at the state meet. what cost me those Already the 12th pboggs@civitasmedia.com points,” he said. “And I really couldn’t get a shot in and I wasn’t really setting anything up. I got really frustrated towards the end. I thought I should have beat him.” So too did Gallia Academy head coach Todd May. “I would have liked to have had this guy (Scott) three out of ﬁve (matches). The one thing Kaleb does is get better every time he wrestles somebody,” said the coach. “There’s a cat-and-mouse game to ﬁguring people out, and I guarantee you if we go three out of ﬁve, we’re defeating that kid three out of ﬁve. We had some self-inﬂicted wounds in that last match. I congratulate that kid on his win, but do I think he truly beat us? No I don’t. Basically, time ran out on us.” And, as a result, so did Crisenbery’s career — which included qualifying for the district tournament all four years. As a freshman, he advanced at the 132pound weight, followed by his ﬁnal three years at 145. “I started wrestling when I was in seventh grade and just fell in love with it from there. I got better each year, and this year was by far the best,” he said. The best moment, of course, came on Friday —when he pinned Lane Householder of Sheridan a minute-and-a-half into the second period to secure his state place. Crisenbery had defeat- ed Householder by a 3-2 decision to capture thirdplace at the Division II district meet at Heath. Had he lost Friday’s consolation contest against Householder, Crisenbery would have ﬁnished 1-2 — and not on the podium. “I went into that match telling myself I had to do it. I knew that could be my last match, and everybody was wanting me to place,” said Crisenbery. “I had to do what I had to do to go out there and get the win.” And with that win, he became the ﬁfth Blue Devil to reach the medals stand since 2010. Taylor, in fact, served as the assistant coach to May this season. “It’s nice being able to coach a state placer. I’m absolutely proud of Kaleb. He put us back on the state map for Southeastern Ohio,” said May. “I’ve seen him do ﬁve new things in a matter of a weekend that was learned over the last two weeks that made the difference in getting us on that podium.

Jimmy Hall scored 22 points — 14 in the second half — for the sixthseeded Golden Flashes (21-13), who will meet the top-seeded Zips (26-7) on Saturday night for the title and the MAC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Kent State and Akron split their regular-season matchups with the Golden Flashes ending the Zips’ 30-game home winning streak on Feb. 17. Akron returned the favor by winning at Kent State by 10 last week. “It’s great for Northeast Ohio basketball and I know how many people are fans of one or the other,” said Kent State coach Rob Senderoff. “My next-door neighbor is an Akron graduate. My across-the-street neighbors are Kent graduates. My daughter’s best friend, her father is an Akron grad and wife is an Akron grad, so that’s the rivalry. I know it’s great for this event and for us and we’re just happy to be a part of it.” Simmons scored 25 and Kenny Kaminski added 16 for the second-seeded Bobcats (20-11). Simmons could have given Ohio the lead with 10.8 seconds to go, but missed the second of two free throws, setting up Walker’s heroics. Walker was just 2 of 10 from the ﬁeld before dropping a shot he won’t soon forget. Hall scored 24 in Kent State’s quarterﬁnal win over two-time defending champion Buffalo, and the 6-foot-8 native of Brooklyn, New York, was Kent State’s go-to guy throughout a back-and-forth second half. But it was 3-pointers by Kevin Zabo and Jalen Avery that gave the Golden Flashes a 64-56 lead and had some Kent State fans making plans for a rematch with Akron, which won the regularseason ﬁnale between the schools. teams that won both their regular-season and conference tournaments (Kentucky and Arizona) From page 8 and they were never North Carolina and Vil- compared to teams on lanova were next at 9-1, the No. 1 line,” Hollis followed by Gonzaga, said.

Also, it turns out Wichita State wasn’t as highly regarded as many suspected — the 20thranked team in the latest Associated Press poll only got a No. 10 seed. Kentucky coach John Calipari, whose Wildcats could face Wichita State in the second round, reemphasized a point he made last year. “When you mis-seed somebody, it hurts the seeds above them,” he said. “You put a team at ‘8’ that shouldn’t be there, and the ‘1’ looks at it like, ‘Why are we playing this team?’” With never-ending realignment turning more mid-major programs into true majors, the number of so-called little guys making the tournament continues to decline — even if you do count Gonzaga of the West Coast Conference as one of those. Led by the ACC with nine teams, then the Big East and Big Ten with seven each, the six biggest conferences took 32 of the 36 at-large spots this year.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jaylin Walker mistakenly thought Kent State was behind. That was his only error in the ﬁnal seconds. Walker dropped an off-balance runner over two defenders with 4.1 seconds left, giving Kent State a 68-66 semiﬁnal win over Ohio on Friday night and setting up a date with rival Akron in the championship of the Mid-American Conference Tournament. With the score tied 66-all, Walker grabbed the rebound of a missed free throw by Ohio and took off. He drove the length of the ﬂoor before pulling up in the lane and making his tough basket. “We were only down one and my mindset was to go to the hole,” Walker said before being told the game was tied. “Oh, tied?” he said. “My mistake.” Kent State will forgive him.

(AP) — Everybody on the Iowa State bench got a snippet of net from the Big 12 Tournament. Monte Morris got just about the whole thing. It was only ﬁtting the most valuable player in the Big 12 Tournament, the senior guard who kept willing the No. 23 Cyclones to victory, got to hang the net around his neck. Morris scored 17 points in the title game Saturday night to send Iowa State to an 80-74 victory over No. 11 West Virginia. It was the third title in four years for the Cyclones. Third in four years for Morris, too. “Monte is great. You win with great players,” said Iowa State coach Steve Prohm, who won his ﬁrst title in his second season in charge. “I was very fortunate to walk into him being our point guard.” Deonte Burton added 16 points and Matt Thomas ﬁnished with 12 for the fourth-seeded Cyclones (23-10), who will enter the NCAA Tournament as one of the nation’s hottest teams. They’ve won nine of their last 10 games, their only loss during that stretch coming a week ago in Morgantown. They avenged that defeat in a big way at the Sprint Center. “Two years ago, we won this same tournament and the next week, our lives were miserable. We lost to UAB,” Morris said. “We just have to keep everyone together. That’s our job, being seniors.” Iowa State has never lost in four appearances in the Big 12 title game, while the Mountaineers (26-8) remain without a conference tournament title of any kind since winning the Big East in 2010. “Everybody says it’s hard to play against us with one-day prep, but I think it’s really hard to play against them with one-day prep as well,” Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins said, “because they shoot the ball so well and spread you out so much.” Jevon Carter had 18 points for West Virginia, which will no doubt rue its 8-for-17 shooting from the foul line. Esa Ahmad, Daxter Miles Jr. and Elijah Macon ﬁnished with 10 points apiece. “We just have to get better,” Ahmad said. “Just got to get back in the gym.” The No. 2-seeded Mountaineers had been a scourge for the Cyclones the past two years, winning the last four meetings in relatively easy fashion. But the hallmark of those games had been their ability to get easy baskets against an Iowa State team that doesn’t always play defense. There were no easy buckets Saturday night. Iowa State threw down its own half-court press against Press Virginia, and caused 10 ﬁrst-half turnovers that gave the sea of red inside Sprint Center reason to stand from its seats. The biggest roars from the Cyclones faithful came late in the half, when Bowie came off the bench to score 10 points in quick succession. He checked out to a standing ovation, and Morris took over from there, hitting Iowa State’s ﬁnal three baskets of the half for a 35-29 lead. After drilling a long 3 as time expired, Morris rode an imaginary horse off to the locker room. “He’s a good player, one of the best point guards in the country,” Carter said. “He hit some tough shots tonight. I feel like I did a good job on him, he just hit some tough shots.” The whooping and hollering continued in the second half, when Burton hit a pair of 3s and Thomas hit another, pushing Iowa State’s lead to 10. And that caused tempers to boil over on the West Virginia bench, where Huggins was given a technical foul with 15:46 to play. Thomas hit both of the foul shots as the lead stretched to 50-38.

(AP) — Giddy Potts and Middle Tennessee both reached the big 3-0 in timely fashion. Potts matched his season high with 30 points to lead Middle Tennessee to win No. 30 and its second straight Conference USA Tournament championship with an 83-72 victory over Marshall on Saturday night. Potts scored seven straight points to help the Blue Raiders (30-4) pull away with a late 15-5 run and reach that milestone win for the ﬁrst time. “For us to be able to do that in the fashion we did it, it really speaks volumes about our team and what we had to go through over the season and not just being satisﬁed with what we did last year,” Middle Tennessee senior Reggie Upshaw Jr. said. The Thundering Herd (20-15) pulled within two points at 53-51 with 12:51 left before Potts and Middle Tennessee answered with what proved the decisive run. Potts, the tournament MVP, made three 3-pointers and grabbed eight rebounds for Middle Tennessee while making seven of eight free throws. League player of the year Jacorey Williams, an Arkansas transfer and Birmingham native, added 17 points and Upshaw scored 15 and had eight boards. Potts drew some motivation from being relegated to third-team all-conference status. “We were talking about that the whole week,” he said. “(Teammates) were telling me I’ve just got to come out and play my game and I’d be MVP.” CJ Burks led Marshall with 16 points. Stevie Browning ﬁnished a strong tournament with 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists. He had 78 points in four games. Austin Loop got all 12 of his points on four 3-pointers. Jon Elmore, the league’s leading scorer, had 12 points despite 2-of-9 3-point shooting. Adjin Penava had 10 points. “I don’t think we shot as well as we usually do,” Elmore said. “The whole tournament we’ve been kind of burning the nets down and making everything. We started out slow and still didn’t shoot very well for us at all.” The Blue Raiders had a 13-point lead cut to 40-32 by halftime. Browning punctuated the half with a contested 3-pointer with 5 seconds left for Marshall and added another in the ﬁnal second. “This team kicked the car on down the road a little bit,” third-year Marshall coach Dan D’Antoni said. “We got 20 wins and were in the ﬁnals of the conference and started out at rock bottom. The hardest part is taking a program that’s maturing and playing one that’s mature.” BIG PICTURE Marshall: defeated two of the top three seeds to make the title game, and was seeking its ﬁrst NCAA Tournament bid since the 1986-87 season. … Missed its ﬁrst 10 3-point attempts after setting a school and C-USA tournament record with 19 makes in a semiﬁnal win over Louisiana Tech.

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING D’Antoni drew a technical foul with 5:12 left protesting a foul call against Penava. Potts made one of two technical free throws to push the Blue Raiders’ lead back to double digits. Upshaw, who drew the foul, made both of his attempts from the line.

There’s no chance of Izzo and Self both getting to the Sweet 16. The Spartans and Jayhawks, both with a national title under their coaches, could meet in a secondround game Sunday in the Midwest Regional at Tulsa, Oklahoma. — COACHING BLOODLINES: Northwestern plays its ﬁrstever NCAA Tournament game against Vanderbilt, whose 15 losses are the most ever by an at-large team. Both coaches in the West Region’s 8-9 matchup are the 42-yearold sons of former coaches. The Wildcats are in their fourth season with coach Chris Collins, the son of former NBA coach Doug Collins. Bryce Drew, the son of former Valparaiso coach Homer Drew and younger brother of Baylor coach Scott Drew, is in his ﬁrst season at Vanderbilt (19-15). Bryce Drew, who like his father coached Valpo to multiple NCAA appearances, is also known for his buzzer-beating 3-pointer as the Crusaders upset fourth-seeded Ole Miss in their 1998 NCAA opener on way to the Sweet 16. — FATHER-SON: This is the ﬁrst time a father and son are head coaches of different teams in the same NCAA Tournament. Minnesota is in for the ﬁrst time since 2013 , the year before Richard Pitino became the Golden Gophers coach. Like his father Rick at Louisville, Richard Pitino has led his team to 24 wins so far this season. The only way they play each other is if Minnesota and Louisville both make the championship game. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Even coach Thad Matta has trouble explaining why his talented Ohio State players weren’t ready to perform with the same effort in every game this season. When he faced the media at times after tough losses, the affable Matta looked uncharacteristically downtrodden, befuddled even. “I don’t know,” Matta said when asked why his players’ heads weren’t in the game in an opening-round loss to Rutgers in the Big Ten Tournament. “Don’t know.” That game ended up being the last in a disappointing season as Ohio State was shut out of even the NIT. Matta endured the worst season in his 17 years as a head coach, winning fewer than 20 games for the ﬁrst time and failing to take an eligible team to the postseason. The Buckeyes ﬁnished 17-15 — their second consecutive underachieving season following seven straight trips to the NCAA Tournament. Matta acknowledged it was one of the toughest times of his career. “Just from the daily battles that we’ve had just in terms of getting guys ready to play, that sort of thing,” he said. Before the season, four of the ﬁve freshmen from 2015 class transferred. The loss of one of the team’s best players, 6-foot-7 forward Keita Bates-Diop, to a leg injury in early January set the tone for the up-and-down Big Ten stretch. Ohio State would lose its ﬁrst four Big Ten games and ﬁnish with a 7-11 conference record. The Buckeyes were wildly inconsistent, and there was no one player to lean on when the going got tough. For instance, the Buckeyes shot 50 percent from the ﬂoor and played outstanding defense in a 10-point signature win over then-No. 16 Wisconsin on Feb. 23. Nine days later in the regular-season ﬁnale, the Buckeyes scored 92 points but allowed a less-talented Indiana team to score 96. The 66-57 loss to 14th-seeded Rutgers in the ﬁrst round of the conference tournament was ugly. The players, too, recognized there was dysfunction. “We all kind of need to look in the mirror and ask ourselves: ‘Do we actually care about this program, this university, the fans and each other?’ Me included,” sophomore guard JaQuan Lyle said. “I feel like at times we don’t play with the heart and passion like we should. I think that’s the biggest thing.” In a place where fans are used to winning, there was plenty of consternation and hand-wringing among the Ohio State faithful this year, many calling for an end to the Matta era. That led athletic director Gene Smith to issue a statement expressing conﬁdence in his coach. “I think it’s ridiculous that we have to do stuff like that,” Matta said of the statement. “Gene and I met a couple weeks ago. It’s amazing what people do nowadays. This is a very ﬁckle business that we’re in. Unless you’re intimately involved on a day-to-day basis, people choose the negative side of things. It’s what they do.” The core of the team will be back. The lone departing senior is Marc Loving (12.3 points-per-game). He was the second-leading scorer but never lived up to his promise coming out of high school. Top scorer Jae’Sean Tate (14.3 points) and fellow starter Lyle (11.4 points) will return. Others who saw signiﬁcant minutes and showed ﬂashes of brilliance — Micah Potter, Kam Williams, C.J. Jackson and Andre Wesson — also will be back. Matta has signed two highly regarded recruits, including 6-foot-9 center Kaleb Wesson, a hometown hero from the Columbus suburb of Westerville. Bates-Diop will be returning, although starting center Trevor Thompson (10.6 points, 9.2 rebounds) may leave for the NBA draft. “I’ve got to look at how we can reach a group of guys better,” Matta said. “Change is hard, but it can be done.
