Kyle Carey, a freshman student at the University of Oklahoma student, found dead in the Walker Center residence hall on February 22. Carey was reportedly also a member of the university’s Delta Upsilon Fraternity chapter. The university has since opened an investigation into the fraternity.

In an email to The Daily, the school’s student newspaper, university press secretary Matt Epting said that all of the Delta Upsilon’s chapter activities have been suspended pending the findings of the investigation.

Justin Kirk, the executive director of the Delta Upsilon national chapter, Justin Kirk, issued the following statement: “Delta Upsilon mourns the loss of associate member Kyle Carey, Oklahoma ’21. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kyle’s family, the Oklahoma chapter and the entire OU community during this difficult time.”

The Daily reports that the University of Oklahoma decided to open an investigation into Delta Upsilon after OU the Norman Police Department gave them evidence suggesting student safety concerns during a drug investigation.

via Norman Transcript:

Authorities launched an investigation into Carey’s death last week. Rowdy Gilbert, vice president for public affairs, said that investigation, led by the OU Police Department, has concluded.

“OUPD has concluded its investigation and found no suspicious activity was involved,” said Rowdy Gilbert, the vice president of public affairs. “An official cause of death has not yet been confirmed by the medical examiner.”

It is the second death Delta Upsilon fraternity members have mourned in as many years. On Feb. 3, 2017, the body of Kyle O’Brien, 19, was found in near 321 Robert S. Kerr Ave. in Oklahoma City, a parking garage, at around 10 p.m.

On February 26, the University of Oklahoma’s Student Conduct Office completed their investigation into the fraternity, reportedly issuing sanctions due to their findings.

Press secretary Epting stated that the fraternity’s cease-and-desist order has been lifted and that fraternity activities are no longer suspended.


Dwayne Wade Refuses To ‘Shut Up And Dribble’ After Hearing Of Shooting Victim Buried In His Jersey

On February 25th, Dwayne Wade found out that one of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting victims had been buried in one of his jerseys. Joaquin Oliver was such a massive Heat fan that he wanted to be buried in one of their jerseys.

Wade, the future hall of fame shooting guard for the Miami Heat, did not take this lightly. In fact, he took this as the motivation he needed to not just “shut up and dribble,” an order barked by Fox News host Laura Ingraham on February 15h. She was talking to Lebron James, who had made his opinions on gun control and President Trump known in the days after the Parkland shooting. In an interview with ESPN’s Cari Champion, James said “The No. 1 job in America, the appointed person is someone who doesn’t understand the people,” and he also called some of Trump’s comments “laughable and scary.”

Many players took Ingraham’s comments to heart and felt that she was not only talking to James, but to every professional athlete. “It’s always unwise to seek political advice from someone who gets paid $100 million a year to bounce a ball,” she said. “Keep the political comments to yourselves. … Shut up and dribble.”

On February 26th, as Wade tweeted his feelings about Oliver and Ingraham:

Speaking to the Miami Herald, Wade went on to further explain:

“You really can’t put that in words,” Wade said after practice Monday. “You hurt for the family and if you’re able to get an opportunity to speak to them, you just try to hope that the time where he was alive, that you was able to bring some form of joy to his life and something memorable, a story that you guys can talk about. I don’t even know the word for it. Like I retweeted on Twitter, I said, ‘You’re going to make me cry.’ It’s emotional even thinking about that, that his parents felt that burying him in my jersey is something that he wanted. I take a lot of pride in what I’ve done in this state and what I’ve meant for the youth, so I appreciate that.”

It doesn’t seem that Wade will be keeping his opinions to himself and certainly won’t “shut and dribble.”

So, maybe you’re not a cinephile (that’s a fancy word for you love movies.) Or perhaps you are, and you want to watch some great movies, but you don’t know where to begin. Lucky for you, Burger Fiction has made a video that lists every single Best Picture winner ever and even includes a clip from each of the movies.

From Wings, the inaugural winner of the Best Picture award in 1929, up to Moonlight, last year’s winner, you will definitely have no shortage of movies to watch on your next lazy Saturday. Sure, you might not like all of them, but there’s no denying that each one of these films has cemented their place in history as the best picture of that year. Unless it’s Shakespeare in Love which robbed Saving Private Ryan in 1998, then maybe they weren’t the best one that year but hey, that’s just one man’s opinion.

Check out the video below:

Maybe movies from the 1920s, 1930s and/or 1940s aren’t really your thing. After all, as good as they may be, they might not have aged all that well. In any case, you should definitely check out the previous ten Best Picture winners. If anything, it gives you plenty to talk about with your friends that are also movie lovers.

Jennifer Lawrence’s New Reported Boyfriend Is A MAJOR Step Up From Darren Aronofsky

At just 27-years-old, Jennifer Lawrence is already in the hall of fame. Down-to-earth, hilarious, modest, and not to mention, an 11/10, J-Law has been America’s sweetheart for some time now and will continue to be for at least a couple more years.

Which is why it used to drive me CRAZY that she was dating Darren Aronofsky. Aronofsky, the supremely talented director behind Requiem For A Dream and Black Swan, is just a super artsy dude who strikes me as someone who refers to himself as an auteur rather an a director, a guy who rolls his own cigarettes instead of buying them, a guy who prefers CBD to THC. Point being, a guy who should be nowhere near Jennifer Lawrence’s league.

Luckily, Lawrence eventually wised up and broke up with Aronofsky, and is now reportedly dating someone much more worthy of her uhhhh, talents: Joel Edgerton.

For those who are more familiar with faces than names, Joel Edgerton is this obnoxiously handsome Aussie bastard:

Over the last seven or eight years, the dude has been everywhere: from dramas, to comedies, to horrors, to the director’s chair (The Gift is legitimately good), Edgertorn has appeared in movies such as The Great Gatsby, Zero Dark Thirty, and Black Mass.

All of this is just a long-winded way of me saying if J-Law and J-Edge are Hollywood’s latest power couple, I am buying as much stock in them as I can.

Tarrytown, Irvington and Elmsford, New York schools have been placed on lockdown after it was reported that a man with a gun had been spotted in the area.

What happened?

Beginning early this morning around 7:15 AM, it was reported that a man with a gun, possibly dressed in camouflage, was seen in the Tarrytown and Irvington area. Although there was no direct threat to the schools, they were placed on lockout out of an abundance of caution. The Irvington school district released this statement:

“The district was just advised of an active police investigation in Tarrytown where a male with a dark complexion, possibly wearing a camouflage jacket, is being sought and believed to be armed. At this time all schools will enter a lockout mode. Only students and staff will be permitted to enter a school building. Staff will man all entrances to ensure the safety of our students and staff.”

The Elmsford school district posted this message on their website:

“The district was just advised of an active police investigation in Tarrytown where a male with a dark complexion, possibly wearing a camouflage jacket, is being sought and believed to be armed. At this time all schools will enter a lockout mode. Only students and staff will be permitted to enter a school building.  Staff will man all entrances to ensure the safety of our students and staff. THERE IS NO THREAT TO THE STUDENTS OF ELMSFORD. We are in communication with the Elmsford Police who are actively involved in securing the Village and Schools.”

According to News 12 Westchester, police say “a man shot his girlfriend at the Sleepy Hollow Gardens at 177 White Plains Road around 7:30 a.m. and then ran off.”

What happens now?

As of 11:30 AM, the schools were still in a lockout. Only students and staff would be allowed in the building and school’s staff would be watching all entrances for suspicious activity. Local police have cordoned off the Sleepy Hollow Gardens apartment complex and monitoring the situation. Police and SWAT teams are currently searching the area for the shooter.

According to NBC 4 New York, “The [Tarrytown and Irvington] school districts serve thousands of students in nine schools from pre-K through grade 12. Irvington alone says it has 7,000 students across its five schools, according to the district’s website.”

UPDATE: Tarrytown police chief John Barbelet has announced in a press conference that the victim of the shooting has passed away at Westchester County Hospital. The suspect remains unidentified and as of 1:45 PM has not been captured by police. Barbelet reiterated that there was no immediate threat to the area but the school districts on lockout until dismissal as a precaution.

She had her first acting role at the age of nine in which she performed in a church play based on the Book of Jonah, gaining more experience with other church plays and school musicals. At the age of 14, she was discovered by a talent scout while on vacation in New York City; eventually,  she signed on with CESD Talent Agency, giving her the opportunity to audition for roles in Los Angeles. Eventually leaving school at the age of 14, she then placed priority on her acting career.

‘Breaking Bad’ Creator Vince Gilligan Talks Jesse Pinkman’s Potential Debut On ‘Better Call Saul’

AMC

There are two types of people in this: people who consider Breaking Bad to be the biggest television show of all-time and idiots. At Breaking Bad‘s peak, no show on television before, during, or since could match it’s plotting, writing, acting, cinematography, and directing.

When Breaking Bad went off the air, many fans were devastated that the world and characters they had grown to love and hate so dearly would be leaving them forever. However, luckily for all entertainment fans, creator Vince Gilligan wasn’t out of work for long, as he almost immediately went into creating Better Call Saul, a prequel/spin-off that’s arguably as enthralling — albeit in different ways — as its predecessor.

Currently in the middle of shooting season four, Gilligan spoke to some media about Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and where one Jesse Pinkman fits in all this.

via Digital Spy:

“You never know if that character may get revisited in the future,” Gilligan hinted. “Anything’s possible.”

Aaron Paul has previously stated his willingness to reprise Jesse on Better Call Saul.”Hopefully I will be involved but I don’t know when that may be,” he told Variety in 2016.

“I’m not going to say anything more. But I’m absolutely open to the idea. Hopefully it happens. I’m all about it.”

Gilligan also touched on what he imagines Jesse’s post-Walter White life is like, saying that he likes to believe Jesse got away:

“I don’t really know in terms of what he should be doing as a career. I just hope he would get away, and meet somebody nice, and not be a criminal anymore and not face those horrors that he faced. I always liked that character. I always had a soft spot for him.”

The fourth season of the Emmy-nominated series is expected to premiere later in 2018.

Top 10 Things Elon Musk Believes Are True

0

Elon Musk Beliefs

Elon Musk is the CEO of SpaceX and Telsa and essentially the real-life Tony Stark. Robert Downey Jr has even said he modeled his iconic portrayal of Iron Man after Musk. In 2016, the South African-born Canadian American mogul was ranked the 21st most powerful person in the world by Forbes.  But Musk didn’t get where he is by playing it safe. Musk is known for his radical entrepreneurial ideas and determination to lead us into the future, and his ideas are often so out there that many regard him as a genius or a crazy person. In February 2018, Musk announced his plan to use a SpaceX rocket to transport people all over the world in under 30 minutes.

Over the last few years, rumors began circulating that Musk was an alien from another planet. After all, he is one of the people leading the task force to get us on Mars as soon as possible. Half of the things that come out of this mans mouth sounds like the premise of a high-budget sci-fi movie. But no matter what you think of Musk himself, it’s undeniable that he is a fascinating person with an interesting philosophy that drives his work.

Below are some of the craziest things Elon Musk believes to be true, from the fact that we are living in a simulated reality to the possibility that Aliens have been watching us for a long time.

1. Musk believes we will send humans to Mars by 2024

Speaking to Business Insider, Musk said, “The Earth-Mars orbital rendezvous is only every 26 months, so there’ll be one in 2018; there will be another one in 2020. And I think if things go according to plan, we should be able to launch people probably in 2024 with the arrival in 2025.”

2. Life On Mars Will Feature A Direct Democracy

Musk is not afraid of getting ahead of himself on the Mars front. He’s already envisioned the best case scenario for the type of government Mars would employ, saying at a Code conference: “I think most likely the form of government of Mars would be a direct democracy, not representative, so it would be people voting directly on issues. And I think that’s probably better because the potential for democracy is substantially diminished.”

3.  The First People Who Colonize Mars Will Likely Die

Though Musk has admitted to wanting to die on Mars, he has no intention of being one of the first people sent over to the red planet. Warning that the first trip to Mars will be extremely dangerous, Musk told Business Insider, “The risk of fatality will be high. There’s just no way around it.”

4. We Are Living In A Simulated Reality

Elon Musk believes we are living in a simulated reality much like the Matrix or The Sims. “There’s a billion-to-one chance we’re living in base reality,” he told Business Insider. But he doesn’t think this is a bad thing. In fact, Musk considers the idea that we are living in a simulated reality to be the best case scenario as it would mean humans of the future found a way, through technology, to preserve human life outside the realities of the planet’s environment.

5. Aliens Have Been Watching Us For A Long Time

The fact that we haven’t been able to find life on other planets just means that they probably have already found us and we are under their surveillance or control. Musk has said, “The absence of any noticeable life may be an argument in favor of us being in a simulation. Like when you’re playing an adventure game, and you can see the stars in the background, but you can’t ever get there. If it’s not a simulation, then maybe we’re in a lab and there’s some advanced alien civilization that’s just watching how we develop, out of curiosity, like mold in a Petri dish.”

6. Humans Will Become House Cats To Artifical Intelligence

Musk has spoken at length about the dangers of AI. Given the advancements we’ve seen in AI, its possible that they will soon be much smarter than us, relegating us to the level of a house cat. Though he doesn’t love the idea of being a house cat, he says it’s not the worst of all fates.

7. AI is the biggest existential threat we currently face

Elon Musk thinks the biggest risk we face as a civilization. This is something both Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates have also said about the rise of artificial intelligence.

8. Human Beings Are Already Cyborgs

Musk says that humans today have more power in the palm of their hands than the president did 20 years ago.

9. Something called the “Hyperloop” is possible

Elon Musk wants to revolutionize the way we travel, and wants to create a super highway that lets us travel across the country in mere minutes. “What this is all about is advancing the state of transportation; trying new things that have never been done before that can make an incredible difference to peoples lives,” Musk said.

10. School is Useless

Musk hated school as a child and thinks a complete waste of time. Apparently, you don’t need schooling to save the world.

Ottawa University Campus Evacuated Due To A Trespasser

Ottawa University students and staff were evacuated this morning after as police detained a trespasser. The man reportedly had two handguns in his car.

Two guns were found inside a man’s car after he was detained for trespassing at the Ottawa University campus in Surprise on Tuesday morning.

According to police Sgt. Tim Klarkowski, officers responded to the Ottawa University campus near Greenway Road and Civic Center Drive after receiving reports of a trespasser who was “behaving suspiciously.”

Police were able to detain him without incident. During their investigation, police found at least two handguns inside his vehicle.

Sgt. Klarkowski said that the university’s student and staff were evacuated out of an abundance of caution while authorities swept the campus for any potential all threats.

The unidentified suspect was charged with misdemeanor trespassing. Police are still investigating why the man was on campus.

That is all the information available at this time.

Ottawa University is a private, non-profit, Christian liberal arts university in Ottawa, Kansas, United States. It was founded in 1865 and is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA. Ottawa has approximately 600 students on its residential campus in Ottawa, with about 7,000 students across all of its campuses and online.

Lebron James Is Not A Big Fan Of The NCAA; Calls The Organization ‘Corrupt’

0

In an interview at Cavaliers practice, Lebron James officially joined an increasing chorus of players that have called the NCAA corrupt, calling for the NBA to start considering other ways to develop players. James never attended college as he jumped straight from high school to the professional league in 2003. The NBA changed its eligibility rules in 2006, requiring players to play at least one season in college before making the jump to the pros.

Recently, many players including Lonzo Ball and Ben Simmons have begun to voice their anger and frustrations with the NCAA and how it hampers player development. Ball, the Lakers rookie and son of LaVar Ball, was asked if college players deserved to be paid, saying:

“I do. All the money they generate for the programs & stuff, it’s kind of an unfair system…Everybody knows everybody’s getting paid & that’s how it is. Everybody’s getting paid anyway. You might as well make it legal. That’s how I feel.”

In an interview with Uninterrupted, Simmons voiced his annoyance with the NCAA, saying he would have learned more in the pros than he did in college:

“I think I would have learned a lot more by being around professional athletes…Looking at it now, I don’t even know what I learned financially or just being a person at LSU. I think I’ve learned a lot more with this last year being in Philly and being a pro, than I did at LSU.”

James further clarified that the NBA should focus on the G-League (the NBA’s current minor league organization) and help build that up to direct emphasis on player development away from the NCAA. He said: “First of all every NBA team has to have its own farm system,” James said. “We’re almost there, but we’re not quite there yet. I’m not quite sure it’s 30 and it’s not one team per as of yet, but we’re getting there.”

The G-League has seen successful call-ups in the past such as Jeremy Lin, Hassan Whiteside and Danny Green, so maybe James is on to something here.

Attention Ball Family Haters: Lonzo Ball Lost A Shooting Contest To LIL BOW WOW

Instagram @Shadmoss

There’s no shame in being a Ball family hater, as Lavar and his sons are merely reaping what Daddy Ball sowed. And I’m not a bad guy because I don’t like the Ball family, that was Lavar’s plan all along: you’re either gonna hate him, or you’re gonna love him, but either way, you’ll probably talk about them.

And that’s what we’re doing here, and ultimately why Lavar Ball is winning this little game of his: we’re talking about the Balls.

Earlier this morning, the artist formerly known as Lil Bow Wow, Shad Moss, posted a video to his Instagram of him and Lonzo Ball (the man the family should be calling Daddy considering he’s likely the ones paying the bills) having themselves a little shooting contest. And if Bow Wow’s IG caption is to be believed (remember now, Moss has a history of Instagram shenanigans), he actually beat Zo Ball in one of those challenges.

Instagram Photo

Now, while we all know Lonzo Ball may have the second most broken shot in the league (behind Markelle Fultz), an NBA athlete who was the second pick in the draft losing to a non-athlete is indefensible. Again,this is all assuming Bow Wow’s caption is to be believed, which is a stretch at best.

Jon Stewart Has Become The Avatar of the 2017-2018 Knicks Season

Uh, guys, I think the Knicks may have broken Jon Stewart.

It’s no secret that the past few years for the Knicks haven’t been exactly all that great for them. Ranging from off the court controversies (see: Carmelo Anthony’s entire Knicks tenure) to injuries to just general lack of talent, the Knicks have struggled to compete.

On February 26th, the Knicks suited up against the Golden State Warriors at Madison Square Garden, and things went about how you’d expect them to. The Knicks lost to the defending world champions decisively and, as has become customary for the Knicks this season, left their fans to pour out of the Garden with their heads down in shame. No one else was as disappointed as Jon Stewart, who was caught on camera reacting with absolute disgust and looked like it essentially broke him emotionally.

If you look closely, you can actually pinpoint the second his heart rips in half.

Credit to JaVale McGee who made a hell of a shot, but the Knicks defense did not look good at all on that play.

It didn’t take too long for the image of Stewart in despair to cross into meme territory, and some Twitter users jumped at the chance.

McGee himself took full advantage of Stewart’s anguish. Check out his new Twitter profile pic.

Jon Stewart’s led a pretty good life, he’s an award-winning comedian and writer. He also hosted a little-known television program called The Daily Show for a few years. However, it shows that he is just like the rest of us when it comes to sports. His teams know exactly how to break his heart and absolutely crush him emotionally.

Don’t worry Jon, baseball season is about to start, and it’s not like the Mets have ever disappointed you before!

 

‘WWE SmackDown’ Live Stream: How To Watch ‘SmackDown’ Online – 02/27/18

John Cena will return to SmackDown Live tonight likely with his hat in his hand, saddned about possibly being left out of WrestleMania this year. One rumor is that Cena will look to challenge Shinsuke Nakamura for his #1 contender shot at Fastlane, as a means to weasel his way into a main event WrestleMania encounter. Therefore, a match between Cena and Nakamura at Fastlane is definitely not out of the question.

Tonight, “The Lone Wolf” Baron Corbin battles “The Underdog of the Underground” Sami Zayn. Last week, Corbin saved WWE Champion AJ Styles from a beat-down courtesy of The YEP Movement (the villainous tandem of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens). Now, Corbin finds himself in the very cross-hairs of this dreaded YEP Movement. Can “The Lone Wolf” conquer “The Underdog of the Underground” with KO presumably lurking at ringside?

Last week, Ruby Riott knocked off Becky Lynch to become the new #1 contender for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship at Fastlane. But before she faces off against “The Queen” Charlotte Flair at the pay-per-view in March, she’ll have to go toe-to-toe with the “Sorceress of Glow” Naomi.

A Second Florida University Plans To Allow Staffers To Carry Firearms On Campus

0

Webber International University has become the second college in Florida to join a voluntary program which would allow trained staff members to carry firearms on campus. Last week, the university announced that it would participate in the “Sentinel Program” after forming a partnership with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, according to FOX 13.

According to the Sentinel Program’s project description, staffers who wish to participate in the program “will be given 100 hours of comprehensive firearm safety and proficiency training for the purpose of providing security on campus during an active assailant incident.”

However, Florida laws only allow law enforcement officials to carry firearms on campus. To bypass this guideline, participants will be given the title of volunteer “Special Deputies,” and will have “no authority to act in any law enforcement capacity outside of an active assailant incident on campus.”

“We’re gonna send the message to those people that you’re not coming onto a campus being the only person on the campus with a firearm,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd in a statement first reported by Fox 13. “Gun control is clearly in place on school campuses in the state of Florida. How did that work last week in Broward County?”

According to the description of the Sentinel Program, the required 100 hours of firearm training provides “25 percent more instruction than the standard that is required for certified law enforcement officers,” and each participant “will also be required to complete 32 hours of deadly force training.”

“Everyone just has to ask themselves that question: My babies, your babies, are in that classroom and that active shooter is coming down the hallway with that thousand-yard stare and that gun in their hand,” said Sheriff Judd. “Do you want somebody to step out and stop him? Or do you want him to go into that classroom and slaughter your babies? That’s where we are with that issue today.”

Webber International University follows in the footsteps of Southeastern University, who announced that they would participate in the Sentinel Program last year. Webber has become the second college in the state of Florida to announce their participation in a program to arm volunteer staff members in case of an active shooter situation.

President Donald J. Trump sent out a tweet on February 24th of this year, endorsing the idea of having “armed educators” in schools as both a deterrent and response to an active shooter situation.

Trump tweeted, “Armed Educators (and trusted people who work within a school) love our students and will protect them. Very smart people. Must be firearms adept & have annual training. Should get yearly bonus. Shootings will not happen again – a big & very inexpensive deterrent. Up to States.”


Leeann Lapham: Full Story & Must-See Details

Human remains were discovered by Australian authorities during a 50-man search for Leeann Lapham in far north Queensland. At 6:00 A.M. (local time), fifty police officers and SES investigated dense brush throughout Cowley Beach, located 20 minutes south of Innisfail. Detective Inspector Geoff Marsh reported that a “partial skeleton” was found by 9:30 A.M.

Authorities searched the dense scrub at Cowley Beach after a tip from her former partner Graham Evans who had already pled guilty to manslaughter in the death of Leeann Lapham. Evans reportedly told authorities “where he disposed of Leeann’s body.” However, they won’t be able to determine whether or not the discovered skeletal remains belongs to the missing Leeann Lapham until scientific analysis is conducted on the “partial skeleton.”

“Scientific analysis will be conducted in the days and weeks to follow to determine whether those are the remains of Leeann Lapham,” said Detective Inspector Marsh. “We remain hopeful that they are. All the evidence that we’ve received from the person who is now going to plead guilty to manslaughter, Graham Evans, is that this is the location where he disposed of Leeann’s body.”

What Happened?

30-year-old Australian woman Leeann Lapham was last seen at a motel in Innisfail in April 2010. Meanwhile, her three-week-old son was left alone in the motel room with his mom missing.

Her former partner Graham Evans was arrested in February 2017, three months after his car yard was evacuated by police. Authorities say that the charges against Evans is a direct result of them revisiting evidence gathered in 2010.

Human remains were found during a search in far north Queensland after Evans told authorities that’s where he disposed of her body.

On Tuesday, Evans pled guilty to manslaughter and interference with a corpse in the Supreme Court in Cairns, regarding the death of Leeann Lapham.

Evan’s legal team confirmed that their client informed authorities to the location of Ms. Lapham’s remains. Apart of Evan’s plea required him to inform authorities to whereabouts of Lampham’s remains.

Detective Inspector Geoff Marsh said that prosecutors decided to downgrade Evan’s initial charge to manslaughter. Marsh said that Cairns’ senior prosecutor talked to the mother of the deceased Kerry Johnson last week about the offer made to Evans. Johnson was said to have “been pleased to hear that he would at least take police to the location he discarded Leeann’s body,” according to Marsh.

Ms. Johnson was reportedly shaking as she left the courtroom yesterday. She told the Cairns Post, “I’m just hoping to get a little bit of peace, that’s all I can say.”

Graham Evans has yet to be sentenced for his crimes. He will be formally sentenced at a later date.

Anthony Hunt, a 22-year-old South Carolina drug dealer, has been accused of deliberately killing a sorority girl by supplying her with Oxycodone.

Hunt was arraigned on Monday on federal charges in connection to the 2016 homicide of 19-year-old
sorority girl Rachel Bandman.

Bandman, 19, was a public relations major at the University of South Carolina and Chi Omega sorority sister from Virginia. She was found dead by her roommate at Main Street’s Hub apartment complex on a weekday afternoon in January 2016.

Hunt has been charged with unlawful distribution of oxycodone, alprazolam, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

via The State:

The charge against Hunt is illegal distribution of Oxycodone resulting in death, according to his indictment. If convicted, he would face a federal prison sentence of 20 years to life. Hunt also is charged with possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug crime.

Oxycodone is a powerful narcotic prescription drug often used illegally to produce a “high.” It is one of the most popular illegally used drugs in the country and is responsible for hundreds of deaths a year. Until Monday’s hearing, Bandman’s cause of death had not been announced. In 2016, after her death, law officers reported no signs of trauma or forced entry into her room.

Richland County corner Gary Watts told The State that he originally classified Bandman’s death as “suspicious but accidental,” meaning that circumstances indicated she accidentally had overdosed. But after Monday’s hearing, Watts said Bandman’s death now is classified as a “homicide,” meaning she deliberately was killed.

Authorities did not indicate what evidence led them to charge Hunt in Bandman’s death.

NCAA Tournament Bracketology 2018: The 14th Seeds

NCAA March Madness

Going into March Madness, fans and pundits alike clamor ceaselessly for upsets in the hopes that this year’s tournament will be more chaotic than what was witnessed last year. However, when it finally comes time to sit down and watch the games unfold, it can be difficult to root for the underdog when you safely picked all of the notable programs to make it to the Final Four. Still, March Madness is as tortuously anxiety-inducing as it is infinitely entertaining and exhilarating as every day offers something completely unexpected in terms of the end results. Although the 14th seeds do not traditionally dethrone their higher-ranked counterparts,  these programs have actually been more successful in recent years. While it may be extremely risky to select one of the following programs to make it to the second round, it is worth bearing in mind that each of these teams has the potential to shock the world depending on who they are matched up with come the NCAA Tournament.


South Region:
1. Rider Broncos

One of the worst teams in college basketball when it comes to playing defense (78 PAPG), the Broncos have been able to remain highly competitive thanks to a prolific offense (82.6 PPG) that is continually assisted by their aggressive rebounding prowess (39.6 RPG). If the Riders truly have aspirations of making it past the first round of the NCAA Tournament, they need to work on reducing their turnover rate (13 TPG) and become more tenacious when it comes to taking the basketball away from their opponent (eight SPG).


West Region:
1. Charleston Cougars

Although this program may not be the most efficient or consistent program when it comes to scoring the basketball, they are particularly adept at not turning the ball over (10 TPG), which will be vital in them keeping up with their respective opponent in the tournament. If the Cougars can hit their shots from the free throw line consistently (75.8 FT%), they could very well pull off a shocking upset down the stretch of their respective matchup.


East Region:
1. UNC Greensboro Spartans

Allowing just 63.3 points per game, the Spartans are at their best when they are able to control the pace of play while garnering the majority of the rebounds in a given contest (36.9 RPG). Although the Spartans turnover rate is a bit concerning (14 TPG), their ability to consistently take the ball away from the opposition (eight SPG) could allow them to overcome their tournament opponent in spite of their ball security issues.


Midwest Region:
1. Murray State Racers

While they may not be dominant in any one facet of their game, the Racers have the advantage of being competitively versatile on both offense (79.6 PPG) and defense (66.1 PAPG). Considering they hit 48.9% of their shots from the field and are impressively accurate from the free throw line (73.4 FT%), the Racers are efficient and productive enough to potentially pull off a tremendous upset in the NCAA Tournament.
