Bearcats can't catch Creighton, fall 67-63
PHILADELPHIA With Cincinnati unable to get to the free-throw line, Shaquille Thomas took a trip the hard way.
Creighton's Doug McDermott was double-teamed in the corner and swung his left elbow into Thomas' face to break free with 53 seconds left. McDermott was whistled for a flagrant foul and Thomas went to the line.
Make both, and the Bearcats would trail by one. He clanked two instead.
McDermott had 27 points and 11 rebounds, and Gregory Echenique scored 13 points to help Creighton hold on to beat Cincinnati 67-63 on Friday in the second round of the NCAA tournament's Midwest Regional.
"They would have made a huge difference if he made both but he missed both," Bearcats coach Mick Cronin said. "It would have been a whole different ball game."
The misses stung because Cashmere Wright buried a 3 on the ensuing possession to make it 60-57. Cincinnati just couldn't get to the line.
Led by McDermott's 11 of 11 effort, the Bluejays made 22 of 25 free throws. The Bearcats made only 4 of 9, and that doomed them down the stretch.
"The foul line let us down at the end of the day," Cronin said.
The loss was Cincinnati's farewell to the Big East. Cincinnati is staying behind in the football-based, soon-to-be-former Big East.
The Bluejays (28-7) moved on to the third round for the second straight season. They were eliminated last year by North Carolina at that point. Now, the ACC stands in their way again.
"We've been shooting for this game for a year, wanting to get back to have an opportunity to play to get into the Sweet 16," coach Greg McDermott said.
Gregory Echenique scored 13 points and Ethan Wragge added 12 for the Bluejays, who overcame 30 percent shooting in the second half.
Sean Kilpatrick's driving layup after Cincinnati had the arrow on a jump ball cut it to 64-63 with 17 seconds left.
Austin Chatman sank two free throws for Creighton. Kilpatrick's attempt at a tying 3 rimmed out, and the Bearcats were whistled for traveling after grabbing the rebound.
Chatman then hit one of two from the line to clinch it.
The fans waving Creighton flags behind the bench can bring them back Sunday.
McDermott has said he'll wait until after the season to decide if he'll return for his senior year. He's projected as a late first- or early second-round pick and could probably boost his stock with a strong season against tougher teams in a new-look Big East.
"All I'm on focused on right now is just trying to get as far as we can and that decision will come later," McDermott said. "But I feel like it definitely does play a part in it."
The Bluejays could never put away the 10th-seeded Bearcats (22-12) in their camouflage-patterned shorts.
Echenique snapped a tie with a layup and McDermott hit two from the free-throw line to help the Bluejays keep the lead over the final 3 minutes.
For all their offensive woes, the Bearcats stayed close and never trailed by more than eight in the second half. Wright hit a 3 - Cincinnati's fourth on 15 attempts - to slice it to 52-49.

Yes. Your answers are right.
E. How is the structure of a bone related to its function?
Use one example in your answer
Our legs have strong and sturdy bones to support our weight
***** that was an example i have to explain how is the structure of a bine related to its function
A man has a blood clot in his Femoral artery. Where is the clot?
The femoral artery is a general term comprising a few large arteries in the thigh.
so the clot is in our thigh
A bone is stronger and denser for weight-bearing purposes.
but --- you still didn't answer my other question so the clot is in our thigh?
thank you ms. sue! :)
You're welcome, Laruen.

Alejandro Jodorowsky is a special kind of director, and The Holy Mountain, made in 1973, is a special kind of movie.The film opens with a man dressed in black (The Alchemist) shaving two women in a rather psychedelically decorated room. The very next thing is a naked man (The Thief) lying in a pool of his own urine, covered by bees. This should tell the audience that, oh boy, are they in for something completely different. The plot is about The Thief, who is somewhat of a Jesus figure, and his midget companion who has no limbs. They travel, meeting The Alchemist and seven other meet strange people, who are pursuing a mysterious goal that involves reaching the titular Holy Mountain.The Holy Mountain is a parade of symbolism, be it meaningful or just there to confuse everyone. Coupled with the dreamlike narrative and Jodorowsky's tendency to cram the scene full of whatever he wishes the result is quite bizarre. The film is also either a spiritual or an outright actual sequel to El Topo, another trademark Jodorowsky film made three years earlier. The Holy Mountain was bankrolled by Allen Klein, manager for The Beatles, as John Lennon and George Harrison admired El Topo. The film was shot sequentially, entirely in Mexico.
The Holy Mountain has examples of:

Junior Andre Davis and senior Travis Okie took home two more sprinting golds, but it was the Sedona Red Rock High School girls track team that won Saturday, April 12, at the Valley Christian Invitational.
Senior Gabrielle Simon threw a personal best in the shot put at 36 feet, 1p inches but got gold in the discus at 109 feet, 5 inches to lead the Scorpions to a 12-point win over Seton Catholic High School and 15 other teams in divisions II through IV at the Chandler meet.
"The girl throwers really are exceptional, to me the highlight as a group," said head track coach Harry Schneider. "Every single meet we go to, they get to the finals, or darn close."
For the full story, please see the Friday, April 18, issue of the Sedona Red Rock News.
