Miami’s season came to an end last Thursday against the Ramblers of Loyola Chicago. In a tightly contested matchup, Dante Ingram (Senior Guard) of Loyola was able to hit a clutch game winning three. Clayton Custer (Junior Guard) led the Ramblers in scoring with 14 points on 5/10 shooting (4/6 from three). Lonnie Walker led the Hurricanes with 12 points on 5/12 shooting in what could have been his last game in a Miami uniform. Although Bruce Brown Jr. did not play (foot injury), this was his last game as a Hurricane since he will be entering the 2018 NBA Draft.

Loyola-Chi came out the gates firing early as Dante Ingram made his first points of the game with a rhythm three. A couple plays later, Ingram gave the Ramblers a small lead on a driving layup. But, Newton would answer with an and one to tie the game. Next, Newton drove down the lane to find a driving Dewan Huell for an alley oop.

The teams played an evenly matched first half as the game was tied at 28.

At the start of the first half, there was more of the same. The Hurricanes had trouble extending their lead into double digits which allowed the Ramblers to stay in the game. When Miami had a seven point lead, Aundre Jackson (Senior Forward) scored on an up and under layup. The two teams continued to trade buckets for the rest of the half.

With about one minute left and the Hurricanes clinging to a 60-57 lead, Custer nailed one of his 4 threes. And like that, the Ramblers had tied the game up.

Ja’Quan Newton would attempt to close the game when he hit a rhythm two to give Miami a 2 point lead. But, the game was not over.

Loyola-Chi would make one of two free throws to make the score 62-61. Then, after getting fouled and sent to the free throw line, Lonnie Walker missed the front end of a one-and-one. With 9.3 seconds left, the Ramblers dribbled up the court and Custer found a wide open Ingram for the game winning three.

Since this game, Loyola-Chi has continued to upset its opponents and now will face Kansas St. in the Elite Eight.

With the loss of Bruce Brown Jr, Hurricanes fans are waiting to see whether or not Lonnie Walker will also declare.

Despite the disappointing ending, this was a good season. Hopefully next year the Hurricanes can make a deep tournament run.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
