Charles Garcia reaches over a Fresno State player on Nov. 19 at KeyArena.

The Redhawks will have to find someone else to shoulder their winning hopes and dreams next season.

Star forward Charles Garica, the Redhawks men’s basketball team’s leading scorer with 18.7 points per game, has said that he plans on declaring for the NBA draft at the end of the season.

The announcement was first posted at Fox News before the official word came in a statement from Seattle U late Monday.

“It has always been a dream of mine to have an opportunity to play in the NBA. I want to thank Seattle University, Coach Dollar, and my teammates for putting me in this position. I also want to thank the city of Seattle for all their love and support,” said Garcia. “We have had an amazing winning season that I hope ends in a postseason tournament.”

NBC’s olympic coverage needs to join the 21st century

NBC's fabulous full-screen streaming player, complete with a mandatory banner ad.

If you thought NBC choosing Jay Leno over Conan O’Brien was bad, evidently it was just a warmup for a whole lot of other terrible choices during the Vancouver games.

The Spectator wrote an editorial last week about the games so far where we called out NBC for tape-delaying events for most of America. This is a problem, but it’s also how its been done for years and years. Even the “Miracle on Ice” in the 1980 games was not seen live in the United States.

The biggest problem with NBC’s winter game coverage is what they are choosing to show, where they are showing it, and how they are chopping up the events to be more “easily digestible” and “universally” appealing.

Seattle hip-hop fans had a lot to be happy about last night with a free show at Neumos featuring two of the local scene’s favorites, rapper Macklemore and the constantly partying goofballs of Mad Rad. The event filled to capacity by 9:00, and the sweaty masses of people couldn’t get enough, screaming for more after the set lists of both bands were finished. Portland duo Breakfast Mountain opened.

Macklemore also donated all of his merchandise proceeds from the show to the Haiti relief effort. Look for more coverage on the show in the coming days here and at su-spectator.com
