Weather has wreaked havoc with the project since the very beginning, causing delays when the area flooded following a rainstorm in October. Now Mother Nature has struck again. But this time, is it really her fault? For the project to be completed, the frost must be out of the ground when the filling and compacting starts. To do this, the temperatures must remain above freezing for 25 days. Carol Strode, interim director of facilities, planning and management, said the university was anticipating the project would be finished 36 days from Jan. 9. Yes, that is right, the university was counting on 25 days of above freezing temperatures in central Illinois in the middle of January. “With the steam tunnel project, it is strictly dependent on weather conditions,” Strode said. So if the project is so dependent on the weather, why would the university opt to start construction and hope to have it com- pleted during the most unpredictable time of the year? There are not many sure things in this world, but if you were a betting person, you would be wise to put money on the fact that it is going to be below freezing for pretty much all of January and the better part of February.

Panthers oust Governors on final second shot in front of 5, 036 fans By Bill Ruthhart Sports editor

Minus a new scoreboard, a bottle of cough medicine and Lantz Gym’s largest crowd in eight years, the outcome of Saturday night’s game against Austin Peay may have been a different one. The Panthers (15-6, 8-2) remained tied for first place in the Ohio Valley Conference by downing the Men’s Basketball Governors (15-7, 6-4) 80-78 in front of 5,036 fans, the largest crowd to watch a game at Lantz since 1992. 80 With Eastern down 78-77 and just 11 seconds left on the clock, the game fell into the hands of No. 11, Panther senior guard 78 Kyle Hill. “That’s the dream right there. I want to be put in that situation,” Hill said. “I am the senior and I’ve been in sit- uations like this before, and I wanted to take it over at the end. “I wasn’t giving the ball up to anyone else,” he said. “I was either going to get fouled or put the game away.” Hill did the latter, running time off the clock before streaking down the lane for an off-balanced layup to put Eastern up 79-78 with just 2.2 seconds left. “I basically wanted to drive to the basket and create off the dribble and run a little clock down so it would be the last shot,” Hill said. “Either I make it or I miss it, but it would be the last shot of whole game.” While Hill made the shot, it wouldn’t be his last of the game. With just over two second left, Austin Peay still had a chance. The Governors used a full-court pass and three-point shot with less than a second left to shock Eastern on the road last season. “I was thinking here we go again,” Hill said of flashing back to last year’s loss. “I was scared.” But Hill didn’t have anything to be scared about after Austin Peay’s inbound pass hit the bottom of Eastern’s new and enlarged scoreboard, giving the Panthers possession. “Man, that brand new scoreboard sure came in handy,” sophomore guard Henry Domercant joked afterward.
