in protecting the ball, committing
just 9.4 turnovers per game.
"We have two great point
guards, Spike (Albrecht) and Trey
(Burke), and they will be ready to
handle that press," said freshman
forward Glenn Robinson III. "It's
just important for us to get them
outlets and flash in the middle
when they need it. Just try to
limit our turnovers."
So the matchup to look for will
be in the backcourt. The Car-
dinals' duo of Peyton Siva and
Russ Smith have held opposing
guards - like Duke's Seth Curry
and Wichita State's Malcolm
Armstead - to single-digit scor-
ing while exploding for 20-plus
points of their own.
Burke hasn't put up the num-
bers that he's capable of in recent
games - the sophomore had just
seven points on Saturday against
Syracuse and took a backseat in
the offense in the second half of
the Wolverines' Elite Eight game
against Florida - but Michigan
isn't concerned if Burke isn't scor-
ing like he's used to.
Junior guard Tim Hardaway
Jr. noted that playing in the Big
Ten has prepared the Wolver-
ines for situations where Burke
is faced with tough backcourt
defense or a cold shooting night.
"It helps when you have guards
and wings in the Big Ten that play
defense like they do," Hardaway
said. "(Ohio State junior) Aaron
Craft and (Indiana junior) Vic-
tor Oladipo, for example, they do
a great job just getting to you and
try to make you turnthe ball over."
And it will also be a physi-
cal matchup in the post. Fresh-
man forward Mitch McGary is
arguably the hottest player in
the tournament right now, aver-
aging 16 points and 11 rebounds
per game while shooting 70-per-
cent clip. He's battled past Kan-
sas' Jeffy Withey and helped the
Wolverines crack Syracuse's zone
with hismid-range jump shot and
team-high six assists.
He's matched up against
Louisville's Gorgui Dieng, who
struggled against Wichita State's
lanky, rebound-happy forwards
and didn't score a point. Though
Dieng has much more experience
against strong, physical forwards,
McGary has shown immense
improvement over the course of
the tournament, which Pitino
thinks has made him "one of the
premiere big guys in our country."
"I have a lot of respect for
him," Dieng said. "He's a good
basketball player. If it gets to the
point that experience is gong to
separate us, I am willing to do my
best to stop him and protect the
paint."
But no matter the matchup or
advantage either team could have,
the players are just looking for-
ward to playing their last 40 min-
utes of basketball of the season.
"It's going to be a hard-fought
40 minutes," Burke said. "There's
going to be skill involved in the
matchup, but alot of it is going to
be desire and will. It will come
down to a battle of will"

avenue for electoral success.
"Yet here they are and have
successfully done so," Osborn
said.
Public Policy senior Alexander
Lane, the communications direc-
tor of forUM, expressed concern
that Osborn and Sakwa's disqual-
ification will incentivize parties
to view hearings in the UEC as a
means of electoral victory.
"In future years this will set
a very ugly precedent," Lane
said. "If students were tired of
politicking and everything that

support and resources to pre-
vent bullying. He said it was the
responsibility of those in atten-
dance to take what they learned
during TEDx and become a
resource and support system for
someone in pain.
"I survived ... I had Michigan;
I had friends and family who
loved me no matter who I was,"
Armstrong said. "But not all kids
get to be at the University of
Michigan."
LSA junior Dominique
Brooks, one of the student
organizers for the event, said
the University's TEDx event -
despite its short lifetime - is
one of the best known in the
country and often acts as prece-
dent for the conference on other
campuses.
"It has a lot to do with our
innovation," Brooks said. "We've
really taken it to the next step; we
defy a lot of thought about what
college kids would do."
LSA junior Amanda Sena,
another of the event's organiz-
ers, said TEDxUofM is a leader
around the country not only
because of the diverse speakers
it attracts, but also because of
the clear innovation in the other
aspects of the conference.
"We try to really put a lot of
thought into the design," Sena
said. "I think putting so much
effort into one event like this real-
ly makes it something."
is uncouth and bad about poli-
tics, then at least at the moment
I think that they are in for a lot
more of it."
Proppe couldn't estimate
exactly how much he thought
Osborn's influencing of voters
affected the election.
"I think Chris and Hayley and
forUM ran a great campaign, but
I do think they were significantly
more aggressive in the libraries
and the Fishbowl than we were,"
Proppe said.
While the two photographs
used as evidence were taken of
Osborn in multiple locations,
Proppe said no members of you-
MICH were following Osborn.
He did acknowledge, however,
that there was "hearsay" that
members of forUM had been
approaching students around
campus and not leaving them
until the students had voted.
"On the first day we got wind
that forUM was being pretty
aggressive in the libraries,"
Proppe said. "So there were
(party members) that said, 'OK,
if you see somebody from forUM
going through the fishbowl and
they look like they're playing
dirty, make sure to document it."
Proppe pointed out that ear-
lier in the election, youMICH
had informed momentUM that
members of that party had been
placing flyers that contradicted
election rules, but no complaints
were filed.
The party didn't inform
Osborn or forUM of the infrac-
tions it documented, but rather
took pictures of Osborn at multi-
ple locations before filing a com-
plaint against him.
Proppe said he was not made
aware of the pictures until after
the complaint had been filed.
Still, he said the goal of the
complaints was not to disqualify,
but to set the proper precedent.
"I'm glad we filed the case,"
Proppe said. "I think it's impor-
tant to uphold those rules that
are written in the code."

pajama party, adaptive sports

Ann Arbor T-shirt Company,
one of the event's sponsors, pro-
vided shirts at a discounted rate,
and the University's Information
Technology Services, another
sponsor, donated computers to
be used at the event.
In preparation for the mara-
thon, dancers were told to wean
themselves off caffeine and stay
hydrated. To keep everyone
entertained during the mara-
thon, five meals were served,
crafting activities were provided
and massages and stretching
machines kept participants on
their feet.
On Sunday afternoon, Inje-
jikian's longtime friend Colin
Northrup, who has benefitted
from DMUM for 14 years, gave
a speech thanking all of the par-
ticipants.
"I have the confidence to
stand up for myself and what
I need, and that started here,"
Northrup said.
Luke Bromberg, a teenage
member of one of Dance Mara-
thon's Alumni Families who
has benefitted from the funds
raised by Dance Marathon for
the past 12 years, said he made
a lot of friends by going to the
Dance Marathon-sponsored
events.
Although LSA freshmen Ken-
dall Gordon, Emily Greenberg
and Hilary Forrest said they
were nervous about standing for
30 hours, they signed up with
other girls from the University's
chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon
sorority because they wanted to
make a difference.
LSA graduate Vikram Sarma
participated in the very first
University Dance Marathon in
1998, and returned to the event
Sunday to show his support.
Sarma said a lot has changed
since he participated in the '90s.
Dance Marathon used to take up
the space of a third of the Indoor
Track and Field building with
about 77 dancers, while in recent
years the event has expanded to
fill the entire building. Sarma
also said the program has added
events throughout the year to
encourage students to get to
know the families on whom they
are having an impact.
"It's a year-long effort; this is
just a culmination," Sarma said.
"But the spirit of the students,
the tenacity of the dancers and
the warm hearts of the families
stays the same."

REACTION ON THE DIAG
Mike Barwis, former director of strength and conditioning for the Athletic Department, speaks at the TEDxUofM on Friday.
Sena said the interest in TED-
talks stems from the diversity of
the people on campus and their
interests inside and outside of the
classroom.
"I think TED - what attracts
us to it - is just the opportunity to
explore a lot of different interests
other than what we're studying
ourselves," she said.
TEDxUofM also allows cur-
rent students to give speeches.
This year, LSA senior Michael
Williams, a Detroit native, gave
a presentation on the future of
his home city and the untapped
potential of its people.
In the Unleashed session,
Mike Barwis, former director
of strength and conditioning for
the Athletics Department, talked
about the untapped potential of
physical therapy. In an emotional
moment, two men Barwis had
worked with walked onstage:
Both had been paralyzed but can
now walk.
Filmic, a student-led film pro-
duction club at the University,
invited students to share their
hopes and passions, which they
compiled into a short film that
was presented at the end of the
conference.
Though the momentum of
some presentations was inter-
rupted because of technical
difficulties, LSA freshman
