Sunshine State Conference Tournament This Week at Rick Case Arena

SSCFrontPage (00000002)

With both Nova Southeastern men’s and women’s basketball teams earning their position among the top four teams in the Sunshine State Conference, league championship tournament action will kick off in Rick Case Arena on Wednesday, March 6. In conference quarterfinal action on Wednesday, the Sharks women will host the Embry-Riddle Eagles at 5:30 p.m., while the men will face the Tampa Spartans at 7:30 p.m.

Nova Southeastern will also serve as the host site for the semifinal and final rounds of the Sunshine State Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships, March 9-10 at Rick Case Arena. Nova Southeastern faculty and staff will be admitted to the semifinal and final games at no cost.

For the 15th consecutive year, NSU women’s basketball will head into the Sunshine State Conference Tournament. With a 17-10 overall record and 13-7 conference mark, the Sharks have grabbed the No. 4 seed. On the opposite bench at the No. 5 seed, the Eagles finished the regular season at 17-10 as well, with a 12-8 record against league opponents. This is the second year in a row the Sharks and the Eagles will square off in the SSC quarterfinal, as well as their second postseason matchup all-time – as ERAU’s first SSC eligible year was 2017-18. This season, the Sharks and the Eagles sparred twice, splitting the series. On Dec. 1, NSU kicked off road-SSC play against Embry-Riddle, falling in Daytona Beach, 64-55, to the then-22nd ranked Eagles. Hosting Embry-Riddle on Jan. 26, the Sharks cruised to an 82-61 victory.

The Sharks are paced by starting guard Alison Hughes, who averages 13.8 points per game after eight consecutive double-digit scoring outings and shoots an SSC-high 44.5 percent from deep. Christen Prasse follows Hughes with 12.1 points per game, and leads NSU in rebounds (7.8) and assists (6.4) per game, notching a program-record three triple-doubles as only the second player in NCAA history to do so. The winner of Wednesday’s quarterfinal will advance to play either Florida Southern or Barry this Saturday in the semifinal round at 12:00 p.m.

NSU Invites you to the Next Intellectual Conversations

Marlisa Santos, Ph.D.

Marlisa Santos, Ph.D.

NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) is delighted to invite you to the next Intellectual Conversations on Wednesday, March 13. 2019 at 12:00 p.m. in the Mailman Hollywood Auditorium. The series theme this academic year is “Boundaries and Borders: Beyond Open and Closed.”

The upcoming conversation will feature Marlisa Santos, Ph.D., faculty in the Department of Literature and Modern Languages, facilitating the conversation entitled, “Straddling Hollywood’s Gender Boundaries: Ida Lupino’s Auteur Journey.”

This conversation will explore how Ida Lupino made her place in film history by refusing to accept predetermined roles and categories.  Her career began with acting, bleaching her hair to be known as “the English Jean Harlow” and eventually developed into directing, to be known as “the Female Hitch,” for her orchestration of suspense.  Lupino battled the studio system, enduring suspensions for refusing to play certain roles, and ultimately used these challenges to learn the directing craft and form her own production companies.  Her films unflinchingly tackled social problems that had never been fully expressed on screen, such as rape (Outrage, 1950), polio (Never Fear, 1950), and bigamy (The Bigamist, 1950), while avoiding reductiveness in gender and class depictions.  Her contributions to film noir are among her most important, both as an actress, in her nuanced “tough girl” portrayals, and as a director, helming one of noir’s most gritty offerings, 1953’s The Hitch-Hiker.  Eventually, her efficient and actor-centric techniques brought her to television, directing numerous episodes of traditionally male-oriented adventure and suspense series such as Have Gun, Will Travel, Thriller, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and The Twilight Zone.  As one of film’s most important pioneers in subverting traditional female roles in the industry, Lupino’s out-of-the-box redefinition of her career paved the way for contemporary female filmmakers, such as Kathryn Bigelow and Patty Jenkins, who still struggle with pervasive gender barriers in Hollywood today.

It is free and open to the public.

If you have questions, please contact Stephen Levitt, LL.M., faculty in the Department of History and Political Science and the Intellectual Conversations Committee chair, at levitts@nova.edu
