MORNING BREW
Cinematic dream team picks
The month of March brings two of my favorite things: the Oscars and the NCAA Tournament. I've decided to mesh the two with an All-Time Basketball Movies Team.
Point guard — Scott Howard ("Teen Wolf") played by Michael J. Fox. Scott Howard is a basketball player on a struggling high school team. His family curse of turning into werewolves makes him in instant star. Not only does Scott hit a game winner in the regional title game, but when motivated and angered, he becomes a werewolf and suddenly gets the skills of the Harlem Globetrotters.
**Shooting guard** — Jimmy Chittwood ("Hoosiers") played by Maris Valins. Jimmy Chittwood is a mystery and has a folk hero following in fictional Hickory, Ind. This sharp-shooting guard leaves the team after a new coach arrives. Jimmy comes back to the team and sparks a late season run to the state title game against a much larger and more talented team from South Bend, Ind. In the title game, Hickory and South Bend battle back and forth until a huge defensive stop gives Hickory one last chance. That final play is typical of a Hollywood movie. Driving to the basket, Chittwood nails the shot and

wins the state title.
Small forward — Jesus Shuttlesworth ("He Got Game") played by Ray Allen. Shuttlesworth is the game breaker on this team. Also, he's most likely to leave and go to the pros and rule the NBA. Jesus makes my all-movie team not only because can he open up the game and take over but he can also dish it out to Chittwood for a big three. I just hope I can keep Jesus from moving on to the NBA.
Power forward — Jackie Moon ("Semi-Pro") played by Will Ferrell. I need someone who can be the on-court leader and heartbeat of this team. I need Jackie Moon. He may not be the best player on the team or have all the skills, but if there is one player who can keep everyone relaxed with jokes while trying to steal the spotlight it would be
him. As a promoter for the program, Moon will be key in bringing in recruits, though I may have to stop him from paying them. With Moon in the fold, I already know the halftime show would be tons of fun and possibly banned from network TV.
Center — Neon Boudeaux ("Blue Chips") played by Shaquille O'Neal. This may be my greatest pick up ever as a coach. This kid practically came out of nowhere and managed to become a force to be reckoned with at fictional Western University. Boudeaux is uguardable and would dominate the paint with lackie Moon.

Swimming takes third in tourney
The KU swimming club placed third in the University League Central Regional Championships this weekend.
The Regional Championships, held in Robinson Gym, hosted more than 130 competitors from six schools located around the Midwest.
The KU swimming club finished third with a score of 848, behind Colorado's 1,169 and Missouri's 1036. Colorado has now won the Regional Championships six times in a row.
The aforementioned points are the total of individual performances by the men's and women's A and B teams. The women racked up 410 points. That was the second most points compared with the other women's teams. The men totaled 438, which was third best.
The A and B men's teams were productive in the 200-yard freestyle relay, both finishing in the top six and collecting 40 points for that event alone.
The KU club sold merchandise and held a raffle for local businesses such as Papa Keno's, the sponsor of the Regional Championships.
"it's not football or basketball, but it's a competitive and interesting sport to watch," said Jamie Padzensky, the social spokesperson of the club.
Padzensky said a lot of fans come out to support their friends in competition, as well as to be volunteer timers during events.
Participation in this Regional Championships qualifies all of the teams for Nationals, which are on April 16-17 in Atlanta.
