Weaving is crafting, just\nsomething that is done, manual,\ntechnical... it doesn't have a venerated history.\"\nPainting has Leonardo Da\nVinci's A Treatise on Painting,\narchitects of all ages referred to\nRoman treatises, but the craft of\ntextile used to lack a theoretical\nbase. If the reflection on this\nthousand-year old craft still lacks\nmaterial, artists ofthe German\nschool ofthe Bauhaus affirmed\nthe unique identity of weaving\nthrough a series of theoretical\nand practical writings.\nThese writings have now been\nreviewed and analyzed in depth\nin T'ai Smith's book \"Bauhaus\nWeaving Theory. From Feminine\nCraft to Mode of Design.\"\nSmith, who is a UBC associate\nprofessor of art history and visual arts theory, expanded a dissertation into a full-length book\nabout the very specific Bauhaus\nweaving workshop. The Staat-\nliches Bauhaus \u00E2\u0080\u0094 from the German for \"house of construction,\"\nto be understood as \"School of\nBuilding\" \u00E2\u0080\u0094 was a prominent\nGerman school of arts and crafts\nthat put practicality in the heart\nof their teachings.\n\"The whole objective was, you\nknow, to 'build a house,' so there\nwas interior design and exterior,\narchitectural work,\" said Smith.\nOfthe different workshops that\nexisted from 1919 to 1933, the\nweaving workshop was one ofthe\nmost productive.\nThe Bauhaus weavers bridged\na gap between art and craft and\npaved the way to modern design\nthrough their artistic and technical innovations.\n\"They were actually designing\nstuff through the process of making,\" said Smith. \"They would experiment with the use of different material, like cellophane, or\nvarious new kind of proto-plastic\nthreads ... they were experimenting with the way that those\ncould be woven, and the structures that they would make.\"\nThe craftsmen and crafts-\nwomen referenced this prog\nress, but the nature of their\ncraft \u00E2\u0080\u0094 textile making \u00E2\u0080\u0094 is such\nthat it has been almost entirely disregarded by art history.\nFor Smith, talking about the\ntheory and practice of weaving\ncould even \"force art history to\nreexamine its assumptions and\nfoundations.\"\n\"We are looking at material that might visually be very\nsimilar, but actually structurally,\nthe materials are actually quite\nunique or special,\" said Smith. If\nshe stands clear from the claim of\nindustrial weaving as being art,\nSmith asserts the importance, for\ndesign theory, ofthe discourse\naround it.\n\"The weavers were publishing\nin magazines and in journals,\nspeaking to the wider public,\"\nsaid Smith. \"They used the\nlanguage of other media, for\ninstance architecture.... They\nreally started to frame their\npractice through the language\nof functionalism, which was\nthe discourse at that time ofthe\nNeues Bauen, the New Architecture.\"\nSmith took the example of a\nfamous cloth made of cellophane\nand chenille, that was used to\ncover a wall in a theatre. The fabric had both a soundproof effect\nand light-reflecting one.\n\"It had sort of a dual functionality, in addition to it being a kind\nof tactile textile surface. It was\nvery unique,\" she said. The use of\nwoven cloth was detailed in the\nweavers' writings, and in patents\nthat the women who formed the\nbulk ofthe workshop submitted\nto the German authorities.\nArchitects ofthe Bauhaus\narticulated their discourse on\nthe affordability of their design,\na criterion of importance in the\npost-war national economic\ncrisis and weavers took a similar\napproach. In the words of Smith,\n\"they started to kind of frame it\nas a utility, as a utility fabric,\"\ncontrasting with a preconception\nof a wall hanging and weaving as\na \"feminine craft.\"\nAs such, weavers ofthe\nBauhaus laid a milestone in the\nhistory of design. That deserved\na full-length book.

Wouldn't it be cool\nto see a Grammy-Award-winning\ndrummer? You know what would\nbe even cooler? To see them\nboth together.\nFor one night this month, and\none night only, UBC students\nhave the unprecedented opportunity to see up-and-coming\njazz-vocalist Cecile McLorin Salvant alongside Grammy-Award-winning drummer,\nband-leader and producer Terri\nLyne Carrington.\nOn February 14 at 8 p.m. in the\nChan Shun Concert Hall ofthe\nChan Centre, 25-year-old Cecile\nMcLorin Salvant will make her\nVancouver debut, featuring songs\nfrom her Grammy-nominated\nrecording \"WomanChild.\"\n\"Cecile has burst onto the scene,\nsigned by the same manager as\nWynton Marsalis,\" said Offer.\n\"Her debut here is particularly\nexciting when one contemplates\nthe trajectory her career is on.\n\"As one of our UBC School of\nMusic professors commented to\nme recently, 'she is a goddess,'\"\na goddess compared by critics to\nSarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald.\nWhile this is hardly Carring-\nton's debut given her 20-year\ncareer on the jazz scene, this is\nher first time leading. She will be\nperforming works from her album\n\"The Mosaic Project,\" which received a Grammy in 2012 for Best\nJazz Vocal Album.\nThe Mosaic Project is a celebration of \"female artistry in the\nform of a compilation featuring\nvarious well-respected women of\nthe jazz world,\" said Offer.\n\"Now there are so many\nwomen who play and I wanted to\ncelebrate that,\" said Carrington.\n\"It's very powerful to see so many\nwomen on stage playing at such a\nhigh level.\"\nThis concert represents the\npower of music: its capacity to\nimplicate something greater, and\ncreate social change.\n\"These artists are making their\nmark on jazz in an industry that\nis constantly making strides towards better equality,\" said Offer.\n\"Due to traditional perceptions in\nmany cultures, it has been historically more difficult for females\nto become recognized as instrumentalists than songstresses. As\na whole, this show demonstrates\nhow times are changing.\"\nThe most important thing\nshould not be lost in these social\nreflections, however, accordingto\nCarrington. And the most important thing is the music.\n\"The point is not that they're female,\" said Carrington. \"The point\nis that they're excellent musicians.\"\nCarrington spins a contemporary flare on her jazz, mixing in\nfunk, soul and blues. \"I'm not a\npurist, so I try to mix styles, mix\ngenres,\" said Carrington. \"So even\nthose who think they don't like jazz\nenjoy it.\"\nStudents can purchase tickets for\n$15, available at the Chan Centre\nTicket Office.Xi\nNotice of Development Permit Application - DP 15001\nPublic Open House\nWesbrook Place Lots 27 & 29 Faculty & Staff Rental Housing\nYou are invited to attend an Open House on Tuesday, February 17 to view and comment on the\nproposed faculty & staff rental residential development in consolidated Lots 27 & 29 in\nWesbrook Place.

The\nAMS looked to change that by pitting 11 faculties against each other\nin a social-media-fueled, Hunger\nGames-esque athletic tournament\ncalled the Faculty Cup \u00E2\u0080\u0094 a faculty\nvs. faculty sports tournament.\nThis event, run last year by UBC\nRec, is a quasi-annual event that\nhas evolved this year. Organized\nthrough a joint effort by the Faculty Cup Committee and the AMS'\nStudent Life and Communications\nCommittee, this year the Cup\nlooked to reach a wider and more\ndiverse population at UBC through\nthe addition of free programming,\nLACROSSE\u00C2\u00BB\nincluding a wellness fair as well as\nan active living festival.\nAfter the food truck festival and\nthe wellness fair, the tournament\nbegan. In its first round, faculties\ncompeted against each other in the\nridiculous games of sitting volleyball and dodgeball. Then the competition moved to War Memorial\nGym and the third competition,\nthe tug-o-war, took place.\nSitting volleyball has eight players on each team sitting on a small\nvolleyball courts with lowered\nnets. The ball is allowed to bounce\nonce before being returned and\nserves are thrown in.\nPoints were awarded to the\nwinners of these matchup as well\nas for various acts of self promotion on social media and faculty\nparticipation in the various fairs\nand activities that took place\nearlier in the day. The points were\ntallied up and the top two teams\nto emerge from battle competed\nin the adrenaline soaked game of\narchery tag.\nArchery tag is basically paintball\nwith bows and arrows. Real bows\nand arrows. The arrows have giant\nfoam marshmallows as tips. A team\nwins a round of archery tag by\neliminating every player from the\nopposing team, or by shooting 10\nfoam targets.\nAn exciting dodgeball matchup\nbetween the Faculty of Science and\nSauder revealed the true colours of\nthe two faculties. Sauder, employing\na free-market strategy of every man\nand woman for themselves, were\nreadily defeated by the more meticulous and organized Science team.\n=HOTOLOUISGONICK^HE UBYSSEY\nThese gallant blue warriors used\ntheir superior scientific minds to\ndevise an unbeatable strategy. They\nstockpiled balls, waiting to fire them\nat their foes in a single volley. This\nstrategy overwhelmed the Smithian\nSauderites, allowing Science an easy\nbut well-deserved victory.\nAnother tournament highlight\nwas a close matchup between\nEngineering and Arts in sitting volleyball, with the Engineers coming\nout on top. With more advanced\ncommunication and teamwork,\neven Arts' selfie-taking could not\nhelp them.\nThis sport of bruised knees,\nbloodied elbows and butt-hopping\nlacked the excitement of standing up volleyball, but more than\nmade up for it in awkward dives\nand laughs.\n\"It's lots of fun showing faculty\npride,\" said Engineer participant\nSarah Powers.\nKin ruled supreme in the\ntug-o-war round, but their late\nchallenge could not make up for\nthe calculated performances of\nScience, and the raw, lumberjack\npower of Forestry in the previous two rounds. The battle to\ndecide this conflict of 11 armies\nwould be the best of three rounds\nof archery tag between Science\nand Forestry.\nThe final started with reserve,\nboth teams rarely ducking out\nfrom behind inflatable cover. The\nForesters struck first, knocking\ndown several targets. Science\nretaliated ruthlessly, slaying two\nofthe Foresters. The Foresters\ncontinued to aim for targets,\nScience for people. In the end, the\nForesters emerged victorious after\nknocking down all of their targets.\nScience started the second\nround strong by knocking down\ntwo targets with a single shot. Go\nphysics! But it was not enough \u00E2\u0080\u0094 a\ncombination of tree magic and\nlumberjack sawdust overpowered\nthe Scientists and Forestry,\nin their dark green uniforms\nand face paint lifted the huge,\ngolden trophy.\n\"This is a start of a revival of\nthe event. We are trying to push\nthe envelope with it and we have\nplans to make it even bigger next\nyear. We hope that for the first\ntime in a long time it will stay for\nmore than a year or two,\" said\nAlex Remtulla, head ofthe Cup's\norganization this year.\nTanner Bokor, AMS President,\nwas excited for the future ofthe\nevent and hopes to see more of it.\n\"This is pretty amazing, it's really\ngreat to see actual student engagement for once and see people\nout there having school pride. I\nthink it's fantastic that all these\ndifferent groups decided to put\nsomething in term two because\nthat's something we haven't really\nseen before on this campus.\"\nThe festivities concluded with\nan afterparty at The Academic\nPublic House. Xi\nRez lawn to Canada West: UBC Lacrosse Club keeps growing\nThe team poses for a photo during a tournament in Edmonton.\nSoren Elsay\nStaffWriter\nThe UBC Lacrosse club enters the\nhome stretch of their inaugural\nseason in the Canada West Field\nLacrosse League sitting in a respectable fourth place out of seven.\nWhile this may not sound especially\nimpressive, the club's position is an\nastronomical success considering\ntheir humble beginnings just four\nyears ago, when Dan Millar first\ntried to bring some semblance ofthe\nsport he loves to UBC.\nThe fifth-year mechanical engineering student recalls struggles of\nthe very early days before the club\nreally came to fruition: \"When this\nthing truly first started, it was just\nme and my buddies throwing the\nball around in the backside of Totem\n[Park],\" he said. \"[I would] just find\nanyone I could recruit, throw them\n=HOTO COURTESFTHUNDERBIRD LACROSSE\na lacrosse stick and a beer. That was\nreally the starting platform of club\nmembership.\"\nToday the club's membership\nis over 30 members, with more\nthan 20 members on the men's\ncompetitive team, and a women's\nteam in the works for the 10 female\nmembers. The club is also open to\nanyone who wants to give the sport\na try by offering non-competitive or\nnew players the chance to practice\nwith the team and be part ofthe\nclose-knit group.\nOne ofthe formally inexperienced players is Paul Fijal, who\njoined with minimal lacrosse background and now finds himself on\nthe executive council ofthe club.\n\"Last year Dan approached me\n[about joining the team], I had\nnever played before, but at that\npoint there weren't that many\nplayers and I picked it up pretty\nquickly,\" he said.\nFijal's first year with the club\ncoincided with the club finally\ngetting some real traction as a\nlegitimate lacrosse team.\n\"This is the second year that\nthis thing has really kicked off.\nLast year we had only had one\ngame with UVic and a tournament in Edmonton, this year we\njoined the [Canada West] league,\nwhich plays every week.\"\nThe relatively new club recently got a major boost when\nUBC designated it as having competitive club status beginning in\nSeptember of 2015 as part ofthe\nuniversity's athletics reorganization last year. The new status\nprovides the Lacrosse Club with\nimproved access to facilities as\nwell as support for marketing\nand communication. Millar\nhopes that this designation will\nhelp achieve the club's over-arching goal of creating a university\nleague for their end of Canada\ndown the road.\n\"We've been working towards\na western Canadian university\nleague with the University of\nVictoria, University of Alberta,\nUniversity of Calgary and the\nUniversity of Lethbridge,\" said\nMillar. \"There have been a few\nsetbacks in terms of those schools'\nlevel of competitiveness, but looking forward to the future, that is\none ofthe main goals of our club.\"\nAs for the immediate future,\nthe club has six regular season games remaining before\nthe Provincial Championship\ntournament in the first week of\nApril, where the winner moves\nonto the National Championship\ntournament. Whether they make\nit or not, this year will already\nmark a historic success for Millar\nand his club, which has come a\nlong way from its days of tossing\nback beers and balls on the\nTotem lawn.\nIf you're interested in joining the\nUBC Lacrosse Club, come out to one\nof their open practices on Fridays\nfrom 6:30-7:30 pm on the Varsity\nTurf Fields, contact ubclacrosse@\ngmail.com, or search \"Thunderbird\nLacrosse\" on Facebook. Xi 10 I SPORTS | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2,2015\nHOCKEY\u00C2\u00BB\nT-Birds take back-to-back 5-1 wins\nVictories become all the more valuable toward the end of the season.\nJenny Tang\nStaffWriter\nThe UBC Thunderbirds women's\nhockey team extended their winning streak to three games this\nweekend with a pair of identical\nwins over the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns.\nThe 'Birds were on the offensive\nthe entire game, managing to score\nin every period.\nIn the last three minutes of\nthe first, Tatiana Rafter was able\nto bang in a loose puck off of an\nassist from Stefanie Schaupmeyer\nand Nicole Saxvik for her 11th of\nthe season.\nOnly 20 seconds into the second\nperiod the three struck again. This\ntime Rafter and Schaupmeyer\nassisted Saxvik, who found her\nway into the goal at the front ofthe\nnet. Saxvik follows closely behind\nRafter in the scoring race, as this\nwas her 10th goal ofthe season.\nRebecca Unrau would help\nextend the lead to 3-0 just 12\nseconds after the second goal.\nFiring the puck in front of the\ngoal, this would be her 10th goal\nofthe season as well.\nThe Pronghorns soon struck\nback, with Sadie Lenstra managing to get past Thunderbird\ngoalie Samantha Langford.\nWith the score at 3-1, the second\nperiod did not produce any\nmore goals, mostly thanks to the\nnet-minding of Pronghorn goalie\nCrystal Patterson.\nIn the third period Unrau\nscored again, with the team\ncapitalizing on a power play. In\naddition, graduating senior Lisa\nTrainor scored her first goal of\nthe season off of a rebound to put\nthe 'Birds ahead at 5-1.\nThings got pretty heated in\nthe third period. The Pronghorns\nfought hard to try and turn things\naround, which resulted in a fight\nbreaking out towards the end of\nthe game.\n\"I thought that we kept our\ncool for the most part,\" assist-\nPHOTO SOFYTSAIfTHE UBYSSEY\nant coach Mike Sommers said.\n\"You're going to get those moments near the end ofthe season\"\nStephanie Schaupmeyer was\nthe only one of the 'Birds to\nfight back, having head-butted\na Pronghorn, and sat out for the\nrest ofthe game in the penalty\nbox.\nDespite the Lethbridge attempts to even out, the score remained 5-1 and the Thunderbirds\ntook home the weekend win for a\nclean sweep.\n\"They all came out really\nhard,\" said Sommers. \"Lethbridge played us really hard both\nnights but we're committed going\ndown the stretch. We're taking\nthings one game at a time, one\nweekend at a time, and we'll look\nforward to the following week\nwhen it's there.\"\nNext weekend the 'Birds face off\nagainst the University of Manitoba\nBisons at Thunderbird Arena. Puck\ndrop is at 7:00 pm on Friday and\n2:00 pm on Saturday. Xi\nREC\nThis year's Versus was a Smashing success.\n=HOTO SERGEYGALYONKIN/FLICKR\nMario Versus: friendship-\nruining good times\nFord Atwater\nContributor\nUBC Rec's Versus event, though\nvideo game-themed, was a\nnerd's worst nightmare: physical\ncompetition. Mario Versus is the\nlatest trial of strength, endurance and who can eat the most\n'shrooms. It's the third year the\nevent has taken place, with a\ndifferent theme every year. Last\nyear was the Hunger Games, the\nyear before Zombies and this\ntime it's Mario Party.\nThe teams were randomly\nselected from a large pool of volunteers, and each group is named\nafter a different character from\nthe Mario universe. There was\nsome downtime at the start, so\neveryone was given a chance to\nget to know each other before the\nbrawl began. Halfway through\nthe opening ceremony Bowser\nkidnaps the princess. Undaunted,\nthe teams race to their challenges, spread out around campus.\nThe first event was Mario\nKart; the track was the UBC\nfountain. Racers had to push\nthemselves around with chopped\noff ends of hockey sticks, dodging obstacles and other racers,\nbefore switching out with\nanother member of their team.\nThe challenge was not as easy\nas leaning into your turns while\nclenching a greasy GameCube\ncontroller; expletives were heard\nand insults were thrown like red\nshells. Racing conditions were\ncold are windy, but the intrepid\nkarters were unflinching in their\ndedication to saving the princess.\nIf drivers managed to find a coin,\nthey could hang onto it for later.\nOther challenges and coins\nwere won as the night progressed: in front of Koerner's\nlibrary was Super Smash Bros.,\nwhere balloons were tied to players' ankles, and the teams have to\npop each other's balloons to win.\nThere are no rules here, just like\nthe video game, except for \"don't\nbe a dick,\" which is not so much\nlike the video game.\nThe math building was Donkey\nKong country \u00E2\u0080\u0094 some degenerate\nKremlings tore up a picture, and\nthe teams have to reassemble the\npicture to win. The classic Luigi's\nMansion makes an appearance\nas well, where players are tasked\nwith completing various challenges in the dark and fighting\nghosts.\nThe final battle between all\nthe teams culminated at Bowser's\nCastle, a multiple-part competition. Teams could use their hard-\nearned coins to buy power ups,\nwithout any knowledge of what\nthey'd do. Some power ups helped\nor hindered others \u00E2\u0080\u0094 and one did\nnothing at all. The task was simple: win a one-legged relay race\nwhile dodging fireballs, solve a\npuzzle, throw pudding at Boo and\nkill Bowser with a ton of balls.\nIn the end, Team Toad emerged\nvictorious. The real work here\nwas done by the UBC Rec team\nthough: from leading icebreakers,\nto guiding volunteers or dressing\nup as Bowser, they were on point\nthe whole night.

Jarred Ogungbe-\nmi-Jackson and the 11-4 University\nof Calgary Dinos were in town to\ntake on Tommy Nixon and the 9-5\nThunderbirds.\nUBC, arguably the hottest team\nin Canada West after having won\neight straight games, was in no\nposition to dote over their recent\nsuccess. Clinging to the final\nplayoff spot in the Pioneer division\nwith the end ofthe regular season\nlooming, and playing host to the\nnumber one seeded Calgary Dinos\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 this weekend's story was a best\nseller before the opening tip.\nFans were treated early in\nFriday's game to a frenetic pace\nof play. Bodies crashed into each\nother violently for every loose ball;\nfastidious coaches threw down their\nclipboards and wore out their voices;\nthe crowd roared at a deafening\nvolume. After trading baskets for the\nmajority ofthe quarter, the visiting\nDinos held a small 27-23 lead.\nAs has been known to happen in\nthe world of sports, the abundance\nof energy in such a competitive\nenvironment translated into hostility. Things got ugly in the second\nquarter. First, UBC's head coach\nKevin Hanson received a technical\nfoul while disputing a controversial\nnon-call against his team. Minutes\nlater, Calgary's Matt Letkeman was\nhanded a flagrant foul, followed by\nanother technical foul assessed to\nCalgary's head coach, Dan Vanhoo-\nren. Capping off what was surely\nUBC's most rancorous quarter of\nplay this season, Calgary's LJ Heg-\nwood was ejected for pushing UBC's\nConor Morgan after the former was\nhit with a questionable blocking\nfoul. The crowd serenaded Heg-\nwood as he left the building.\nThere was also some basketball\nplayed. Entering the break, the\nDinos led 48-41.\n\"They were playing very physical,\" said UBC's assistant coach, Vern\nKnopp. \"The game was getting a\nlittle chippy, and we just told our\nguys that we need to show some restraint and be the more disciplined\nteam, so that we don't put ourselves\nin a situation where we have a player\ngetting kicked out or suspended for\ntomorrow's game. It was tough, but\nyou have to be able to control your\nemotions.\"\nWhile the wave of technical and\nflagrant fouls dissipated in the third\nquarter, the superlative level of play\ndid not. UBC slowly chiseled down\nCalgary's defence until the visitors'\nlead was no more. With less than a\nminute to go in the quarter, UBC's\nTommy Nixon, who entered the\nweekend as Canada West's leading scorer, finished a layup while\nabsorbing heavy contact from a Calgary defender. Nixon took the free\nthrow line to the sound of \"MVP\"\nchants from the home town crowd.\nThough he missed the free throw,\nNixon knocked down a mid-range\njumper at the buzzer next time\ndown the court, leaving both teams\ndeadlocked at 68.\nA neck-and-neck race to the\nfinish seemed the only just way\nfor this narrative to end. With 1:00\nleft in regulation time, the Dinos\nled UBC 88-85. After a massive\ndefensive stop, Nixon tossed a lob\npass to UBC's second-year guard,\nKedar Wright. Wright drove to\nthe rim and was fouled hard by\nCalgary's Lars Schlueter, who was\nslapped with a flagrant foul on the\nplay. Wright hit one of two free\nthrows, and due to the flagrant\nfoul, UBC kept the ball. On the\nensuing possession, UBC's Morgan\nknocked down an enormous three\npointer to put the 'Birds up 89-88.\nCalgary responded with a basket\nof their own, only to be matched\nby two clutch free throw shots by\nWright.\nWith UBC's Tonner Jackson on\nthe free throw line, a 91-90 lead,\nand 5.1 seconds left to play, UBC\nlooked to have the win locked up.\nOgungbemi-Jackson, Canada\nWest's second-leading scorer, and\nCalgary's most dangerous offensive weapon, did not.\nJackson hit one of two free\nthrows to put UBC up 92-90.\nOgungbemi-Jackson received the\noutlet pass after Calgary rebounded\nthe missed free throw, frantically\ndribbled up the court, and pulled up\nfor an off-balance, fadeaway three\npointer from well behind the three\npoint line. The high arcing shot flew\nthrough the air, hit the back board\nand tickled the mesh as it passed\nthrough the rim. A speechless\ncrowd read the scoreboard with\ndisbelief. Calgary 93, UBC 92.\nLike others in attendance, Knopp\nseemed stunned with what had just\noccurred, but was already looking\nforward to the rematch to be played\nthe following day.\n\"It's cliche, but our backs are\nagainst the walls. We're fighting for\na playoff spot. They're in first place\nin Canada West for a reason. They\ndidn't lose their composure when\nthey fell down, and a great player\nmade a great shot at the end ofthe\ngame. We just have to talk to our\nguys, refocus. Tonight's game is over\nnow. As soon as we leave the gym,\nit's over.\"\nThe high energy, high-tempo\nstyle of play continued on Saturday.\nThe high scoring offence did not.\nCall it bad shooting, or good defence,\nboth teams failed to capitalize while\nthey held the ball in the first quarter.\nStill, the visitors obtained an early\nlead, 19-16.\nThe second quarter of play was\nthe Nixon vs. Ogungbemi-Jackson show. UBC's Wright was dealt\nthe challenging task of defending\nOgungbemi-Jackson, and despite\nhis commendable play, Ogungbemi-Jackson lit up UBC for 20 first\nhalf points. On the other end, Nixon\nwas as a wizard, which is all UBC\nhas come to expect from their fifth-\nyear leader. Nixon ended the half\nshooting 9-13 from the field for 19\npoints, and UBC led 41-40 after two\nquarters.\n\"[Nixon] is just in the zone right\nnow,\" said UBC's head coach,\nKevin Hanson. \"He's been playing\nunbelievably well. He's certainly\nscoring and putting those numbers\nup, but also playing great defence\nfor us. He's doing a lot of things that\npeople don't see. He's embracing the\nmoment right now, and it's nice to\nsee him shine in front ofthe home\ncrowd.\"\nIn the final minute ofthe fourth\nquarter, Morgan managed to toss\na lob pass to Wright for the layup,\nwhich put the 'Birds up 89-86.\nOgungbemi-Jackson took revenge\nduring the next play. The all-star\nknocked down two high pressure\nshots from the charity strike to\nbring the Dinos within one point.\nWith 23 seconds remaining, the\nDinos were forced to foul. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't avoid\nputting UBC's own all-star on the\nline. Nixon looked like he believed\nhimself to be the only person in the\ngym as he took the free throw line.\nHe knocked down two ofthe game's\nbiggest free throws to put the 'Birds\nback up by three. That was as close\nCalgary would come. The final\nscore: 93-88 for UBC.\n\"I'm just happy with the way\nthat we executed down the stretch\ntonight. It was a real gut check game\nafter last night. That was one of\nthe toughest losses we've had as a\ngroup, and that I've had as a coach.\nDefensively, I thought we did a\npretty good job tonight. Ogungbemi-Jackson is obviously one ofthe\nbest players in the country and he\nshowed that this weekend,\" said a\nrelieved Hanson.\nThe road to the playoffs continues\nnext weekend in Regina for UBC.\nThe 7-9 University of Regina Cougars, a team eager to nip at UBC's\nhold on a playoff spot, will host the\n'Birds in what looks like a gem of a\nmatchup.\n\"We're facing a team that had\na bye week this weekend, which\nmeans they've had lots of time to\nscout us out. They're all important\ngames, and I think the way the\nleague is structured, it's very difficult to really understand the difference between one through seven\nin the Pioneer division. It's getting\ndown to crunch time with a couple\nof weeks left. We're just tryingto\nfocus on ourselves, and play better\nbasketball,\" said Hanson. tJ\n=HOTO STEVEN DURFEEfTHE UBYSSEY\nKris Young (6) had 49 points on the weekend.\nWomen's ball\ncontinues tear\nagainst Dinos\nMason Mcintosh\nStaffWriter\nComing off a 80-53 win over the\nDinos on Friday night, the T-Birds\nwomen's basketball team continued their smooth play to keep\ntheir win streak alive with a 56-67\nwin in the second game.\nThe Thunderbirds started off the\ngame with some superior defence,\nleading to a handful of transition\nbuckets. Cassandra Knievel (11\npoints) and Kris Young (12 points)\nled the pack in the first half. Knievel\nhad flawless vision up court, finding\nteammate Adrienne Parkin on back\ndoor cuts and Harlene Sidhu under\nthe hoop for easy baskets. The Dinos\nhad no answer for the energy UBC\nwas playing with, they had nowhere\nto go on offence, settling for long\ntwos and heavily contested three\npointers. Calgary's defence was no\nmatch for the Thunderbirds' quick\nball movement; UBC was able to\ncapitalize off Young's Russell Wilson-like longbombs.\nThe second was very much the\nsame story; the quarter kicked\noff with Parkin making a beautiful pass to a cutting Sidhu who\nwrapped up the impressive chemistry with two easy points. Young\ncontinued her tremendous play\nwith relentless penetration to the\nhoop \u00E2\u0080\u0094 she ended the game with a\ngame-leading 20 points.\nKara Spotton was a beast on the\nboards. Offensive or defensive, she\nmade her presence noticed while\nthe Dinos watched in awe. High\nenergy was the theme for this\nSaturday night battle; the team who\ngot involved and secured loose balls\nhad the upper hand for the whole\nnight. The T-Birds forced UofC to\nlob passes, giving them no chance\nto form any rhythm on offence, and\ncapitalizing on the other end.\nSidhu wrapped up the third\nquarter with a very pretty and-one\nbasket, pumping up the crowd and\nleading her troops into the final\nquarter. Sidhu finished the game\nwith 19 points and six rebounds.\nThis tired Calgary group never\nlet the game get away from them\nuntil the bitter end; their pressure\nensured the game stayed within\nreach. However, their continuous\nsettling for low percentage shots\ndidn't help their cause, shooting\na surprising 44 per cent from the\nfield, and a concerning 7 per cent\nfrom beyond the arc.\nWith the second season just\naround the corner, this upbeat\nThunderbird squad can't afford\nto let up. \"We must continue to\nget better,\" said head coach Deb\nHuband. \"With only four league\ngames left, this is when the season\nis on the line.\" Xi 12 I GAMES I MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2,2015\nSuch Yoga.
