Each player of the Guilford
men's basketball team made his
way up the eight-foot ladder
to cut down a piece of Guilford
basketball history. The team cut
down the net after their 90-80
win over Eastern Mennonite
University (25-5) in the Elite Eight
of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division III
men's basketball tournament on
March 13.
Guilford's path to the Final

Christopher Newport University

John Carroll University on March
6, and a 75-68 victory over the
College of Wooster on March 12.
The Quakers (30-2) have been
led in the tournament by senior
guard Clay Henson, who has
averaged 19.5 points per game
in tournament play, and senior
center Tyler Sanborn, who has
averaged 20.5 points and 19.8
rebounds per game.
Also stepping up has been
junior guard T.C. Anderson, who
has lifted the Quakers offensively
by hitting clutch shots and
shooting 55 percent from beyond
the arc.
Guilford avenged the 90-63
thrashing they received from
the Runnin' Royals on Feb. 20
, by shooting a season-high 61.4
percent from the field and out-
rebounding Eastern Mennonite
41-22.
"We did our job," said Guilford
head coach Tom Palombo. "We
had a pretty good combination
between our inside game,
penetration game, and from the
perimeter."
Sanborn became comfortable
in the paint and led the way
with 26 points and 14 rebounds
for double-double performance
number 29 on the season.
"I'm not sure if anybody
in the country outside of the
ACC would've beaten Guilford
tonight," said Eastern Mennonite

With many coastal towns and roads in ruins, Chileans

On the morning of Feb. 27, an 8.8-magnitude
earthquake struck the coast of Chile. Hundreds have
died. A broken infrastructure and a seemingly lackluster turned into battlegrounds, where bands of looters face
government response have put thousands more in 5^^ "Earthquake" on page 6
jeopardy.
The quake emanated from a spot in
the Pacific Ocean, 210 miles southwest
of the capital, Santiago, according to the
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). AUSGS
tracking program fixed the rupture's
location at 21.7 miles below the seabed.
The epicenter was close enough to land
that the initial shocks caused havoc on
Chile's shoreline even before a tsunami
arrived there.
The resulting tidal waves arrived in
Chile 30 minutes after the first tremor,
the largest measuring 7.7 feet high. The
tsunami merited a Pacific Ocean-wide
warning, causing nations as far away as
Chilean homes barely rise above the water and debris in the aftermath of
the earthquake.
