A lthough officially hosted by the University of Alaska Anchorage, much of the behind-the-scenes work at the GCI Great Alaska Shootout is handled by the Shootout Committee.

Chaired this year

by John Ferguson (pictured), the committee is a volunteer group that donates its time and talents. Without question, the group has been a critical factor in the success the tournament has enjoyed.

The committee assists in everything from coordinating halftime entertainment to helping with publicity, hospitality and more. Even prior to the conclusion of the 2014 tournament, the wheels are already in motion with the planning of the 2015 GCI Great Alaska Shootout.

ALASKA AIRLINES CENTER he GCI Great Alaska Shootout begins a new era in 2014 as the tournament finally moves to the University of Alaska Anchorage campus in the brand-new Alaska Airlines Center.

Completed this summer at a cost of $110 million, the state’s most modern sports and entertainment venue was christened with grandopening ceremonies Sept. 5, 2014.

The main arena, with a seating capacity of 5,000, is home to Seawolf basketball and volleyball, while the gymnastics team competes in the 800-seat auxilary gym and utilizes one of the top training facilities in the nation. The gymnastics team will also host the 2015 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships in the main arena.

With state-of-the-art scoreboards, video production and sound quality, the Alaska Airlines Center is a first-class venue for spectators and competitors alike.

Behind the scenes, UAA student-athletes from all 13 sports utilize the Center’s high-tech sports medicine and weight training facilities, which include a HydroWorx hydrotherapy pool with underwater treadmill and an AlterG antigravity treadmill.

Also home to UAA Commencement, high school state tournaments, concerts and numerous community events, the Alaska Airlines Center’s additional features include: • 600 parking spaces, with additional overflow capacity of 1,200 • 19 locker rooms • Student fitness center • Raven’s Nest walking track • Suite Level seating • Varsity Sports Grill restaurant • GCI retail store

In

the Seawolf, the University of Alaska Anchorage has one of the more unique mascots in the country.

Originally nicknamed the Sourdoughs, UAA adopted the Seawolf moniker in 1977.

The name Seawolf represents a mythical sea creature and, according to the legend of the Seawolf, anyone fortunate enough to view it was subject to good luck.

The exact nature or shape of the Seawolf, however, was left to the imagination and thus the creature has been depicted in many forms throughout the years.

2014 GCI Great Alaska Shootout

The Seawolf of today was introduced in 1985. Created by the Clark Mishler & Associates Company of Anchorage in cooperation with a University committee, it represents an adaptation of a more traditional Alaska totemic-like characterization of the mythical Seawolf.

The most recent makeover of the Seawolf, a University-wide project, was taken on in order to update the look of the UAA mascot into a more recognizable and marketable image. The University has trademarked the logo.

2014 TOURNAMENT PREVIEW

Shootout makes Alaska Airlines Center debut in 2014

N

ew home, new sponsor, same great tradition.

After 36 years, 429 games and three different locations, the GCI Great Alaska Shootout finally premieres in its new oncampus home at the University of Alaska Anchorage’s Alaska Airlines Center in 2014.

Along with its state-of-the-art new facility and title sponsor GCI – which signed on last spring – the Shootout will feature the same excitement Alaska basketball fans have grown accustomed to, with 12 teams vying for two titles in a five-day extravaganza of college hoops.

On the women’s side, six-time champion Alaska Anchorage tries to get back to the title game after a narrow loss to Georgetown last year, while on the men’s side the host Seawolves continue to hunt for their firstever Shootout title.

Here’s a look at this year’s contenders: WOMEN’S FIELD ALASKA ANCHORAGE: The Seawolves have won at least one game in seven of the last eight tournaments, including first-round wins over North Dakota State and UC Riverside in 2012 and 2013.

Led by Preseason All-GNAC selections Alli Madison and Kiki Robertson, the Seawolves return four starters and two key reserves from their squad that went 19-9 and made the NCAA Tournament last year.

Known for their up-tempo style, the Seawolves led NCAA Div. II in steals per game (14.3) and ranked 11th in scoring (79.6 ppg) a year ago.

BOISE STATE: The Broncos are making their second Shootout appearance after coming north in 1990.

BSU is loaded with all 11 letterwinners back from a team that finished third in the always-competitive Mountain West Conference, including all-league forward Deanna Weaver. The Broncos also feature a pair of familiar faces with former Seattle Pacific coach Gordy Presnell and former Dimond High guard Keiahnna Engel.

LONG BEACH STATE: First-time visitor LBSU gives the Big West Conference a women’s Shootout representative for the second straight year.

10

Alaska Anchorage senior guard Travis Thompson is the Preseason GNAC Player of the Year after averaging 21.3 points per game last season.

will feature a young squad as it tries to improve on a 13-15 record. Sarah Halejian is the Bulldogs’ only senior, coming off two straight All-Ivy League seasons and 15.5 ppg last year.

The 49ers posted a 17-15 record in 2013-14 and return three players who averaged 9.7 points or more on that team. Sophomore guard Raven Benton led LBSU with 12.2 ppg, while junior guard Alex Sanchez already has a pair of All-Big West honors in her career.

YALE: The Bulldogs are making their second Shootout appearance and just the third overall for an Ivy League school in the women’s tourney.

Led by veteran head coach Chris Gobrecht, Yale

2014 GCI Great Alaska Shootout

MEN’S FIELD ALASKA ANCHORAGE: Head coach Rusty Osborne begins his second decade at the helm of the Seawolf program in 2014-15 with perhaps his deepest and most balanced roster.

Senior shooting guard Travis Thompson – an Anchorage native – averaged 21.3 points per game last season and has been dubbed the GNAC Preseason Player of the Year and a presesason All-American this fall. He is joined in the backcourt by junior point guard Brian McGill, another preseason All-GNAC honoree.

Senior forward Brad Mears and several impact freshmen will provide a boost in the frontcourt as UAA aims to add to its 35 alltime Shootout victories.

2014 TOURNAMENT PREVIEW

MERCER: The Bears burst into the national spotlight last March when they stunned 2ndseeded Duke in the NCAA Tournament to highlight a 27-9 season.

Gone are all five starters from that team as the Macon, Ga., school transitions into the Southern Conference this year. Among the few veterans returning are junior guard Ike Nwamu (8.3 ppg) and senior forward Darious Moten (4.8 ppg).

Mercer is making its first Shootout appearance.

UPPER LEFT: UC Santa Barbara center Alan Williams was the 2013-14 Big West Conference Player of the Year after posting 21.3 points and a nation-best 11.5 reobounds per game.

UPPER RIGHT: Washington State senior guard DaVonte Lacy’s 19.4 scoring average ranked No. 2 in the powerful Pacific-12 Conference last season.

BELOW: Alaska Anchorage point guard Kiki Robertson is coming off one of the best freshman seasons in program history and is a Preseason All-GNAC pick this year.

#GreatAKShootout  GoSeawolves.com/Shootout

COLORADO STATE: Although the Rams are making their first Shootout trip, CSU coach Larry Eustachy comes to Anchorage for the third time with his third different team, having led Southern Miss to the 2011 title game and Iowa State to 3rd place in 1998.

Just one season removed from a 26-win season and NCAA 3rd Round berth, the Rams return a pair of All-Mountain West performers in senior guard Daniel Bejarano (16.3 ppg, 8.3 rpg) and senior forward J.J. Avila (16.6 ppg, 7.4 rpg). CSU will also get a boost from three Div. I transfers.

MISSOURI STATE: Another Shootout firsttimer, the Bears registered 20 wins and tied for fourth in the rugged Missouri Valley Conference last year.

Dynamic guard Marcus Marshall (14.3 ppg) is back from an injury that shortened his sophomore campaign, while 40 percent three-point shooters Austin Ruder and Ron Mvouika are also among four returning starters for 4th-year head coach Paul Lusk.

PACIFIC: The Tigers join an exclusive club with this year’s trip north, becoming the seventh program to make four Shootout appearances.

Second-year head coach Ron Verlin led the Stockton, Calif., school to an 18-16 record in its first year in the West Coast Conference in 2013-14, but the Tigers will have a major rebuilding effort after losing 84 percent of their scoring and 88 percent of their rebounding. Sophomore guard T.J. Wallace (7.0 ppg) is the only returner who scored more than 4.0 ppg.

RICE: The Owls are coming off a rough 7-23 record but the Houston program is likely to be an entertaining club with the addition of new head coach Mike Rhoades.

A former VCU assistant, Rhoades will bring the same pressing, high-tempo style.

Junior guard Max Guercy (9.3 ppg, 3.2 apg) and senior forward Seth Gearhart (6.8 ppg, 3.4 rpg) are among eight returning letterwinners for Rice, which is also making its first trip to the Shootout.

UC SANTA BARBARA: The Gauchos make their Shootout debut in 2014 with one of the country’s best big men anchoring the middle of their lineup.

Senior center Alan Williams was the 2013-14 Big West Player of the Year after averaging 21.3 points and a nation-best 11.5 rebounds per game, helping UCSB to a 21-win season.

Honorable mention all-league guards

2014 GCI Great Alaska Shootout

Michael Bryson (11.5 ppg, 42% 3FG) and Zalmico Harmon (7.8 apg, 5.1 apg) will hold down the backcourt for head coach Bob Williams, who began the season with 458 career victories.

WASHINGTON STATE: The only previous Shootout champion in the field will try to repeat the magic of its 2009 title run as the Cougars come to Anchorage for the third time.

New head coach Ernie Kent has the challenge of improving on WSU’s 10-21 record and 11th-place finish in the Pacific-12 Conference, and he will rely heavily on senior guard DaVonté Lacy – one of the nation’s top scorers with 19.4 ppg in 2013-14.

WOMEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY ntering its 35th edition, the GCI Great Alaska Shootout women’s tournament has established a tradition of its own as one of the premier events in the game.

This year’s Shootout marks the 16th straight year that a four-team women’s tourney is part of the November action.

After hosting the Northern Lights Invitational women’s basketball tournament from 1980 to 1997, UAA was forced to suspend the tournament due to a significant round of budget reductions in the summer of 1998. The hiatus lasted only one year, though, and in 1999 the NLI was reborn in the form of the Shootout.

And so it is that this year’s women’s Shootout field of host Alaska Anchorage, Boise State, Long Beach State and Yale will carry on the tradition of the Northern Lights – a tournament with a storied history of its own.

The NLI opened as a four-team tournament in late March of 1980. In 1981 the tournament doubled in size to eight teams and remained that way through 1992. After changing to a fourteam, round-robin format for two seasons, the NLI and UAA went back to hosting seven visiting teams until 1997.

One of the problems the NLI faced through the years was to find a consistent home on the calendar as NCAA women’s basketball expanded and organized along more traditional conference lines. The tournament dates were moved from March to February in 1982 to avoid conflicting with postseason play. The tournament later moved to January and then, in 1994, moved once again to December in order to attract the best NCAA Division I teams available.

Over the years the NLI also moved homes three times, being held at both the Wells Fargo Sports Complex (1980-82, 1986-97) and Sullivan Arena (1983-85, 1999-2013).

Through the years some of the top women’s collegiate basketball teams have played in the event – most notably the 1997 appearance and championship of a Tennessee Lady Volunteers team that featured All-American Chamique Holdsclaw. Other top teams have included Clemson, Georgia, Iowa, Purdue, Old Dominion, Texas, Penn State, Louisiana Tech, North Carolina, Southern Cal and Stanford.

The 1986 field rates as one of the best in the tourney’s history as three teams – Southern Cal, Northeast Louisiana and Western Kentucky were all ranked in the top 20 that year. The ’86 event also featured Southern Cal’s Cheryl Miller, the most heralded women’s player of her time.

Like their male counterparts, the host UAA women’s basketball team has always been the lone NCAA Division II team in the tournament.

And although the men have fared well in the Shootout, they have yet to win it – an impressive feat the women have pulled six times (1990, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009).

USC and hoops legend Cheryl Miller won their first two games in 1986 by a combined 130 points before falling 70-68 in the title game.

Three-time Most Outstanding Player Rebecca Kielpinski led the host Seawolves to a ‘three-peat’ in 2008 with a title-game win over Syracuse.

ith five of the top six scorers returning from last year’s NCAA Tournament team, Alaska Anchorage head coach Ryan McCarthy has the luxury of a veteran squad as the Seawolves aim for the Great Northwest Athletic Conference title and another playoff berth in 2014-15.

Along with the core of the team, the other thing sure to stay consistent is the Seawolves’ uptempo ‘Mayhem’ style. UAA led the nation with 14.3 steals per game and ranked 11th in scoring with 79.6 ppg in 2013-14, finishing 19-9.

Among the four starters back from that team include Preseason All-GNAC selections Alli Madison and Kiki Robertson.

Madison – one of two active seniors on the roster – was UAA’s leading scorer at 12.4 points per game, while Robertson averaged 10.3 ppg and was the only freshman in Div. II to rank in the nation’s top 20 in both assists (5.0 apg) and steals (3.2 spg).

The other double-digit scorer is junior guard Jessica Madison, who put up 10.9 ppg

with team-bests of 46 three-pointers made and .804 free-throw shooting. Fellow junior guard Jenna Buchanan gives McCarthy another deadeye shooter, having ranked second in the GNAC with her .422 three-point percentage last year.

Senior forward KeKe Wright will play increased role from her first season at UAA, when she averaged 7.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in just 19.6 minutes per game off the bench.

Sophomore forward Alysha Devine averaged 3.9 points and 3.2 rebounds and will increase her leadership role in 2014-15 as team captain.

resh off an appearance in the Women’s Basketball Invitational last spring, the Boise State Broncos are expecting good things in 201415, returning all 11 letterwinners from a team that went 18-14 overall and tied for third in the Mountain West Conference at 12-6.

The Broncos are led by veteran coach Gordy Presnell, who is entering his 10th season at Boise State and 28th overall as a collegiate head coach accumulating a 550-254 record during his career.

Leading the returners is senior wing Deanna Weaver, a first-team All-MWC, MWC Newcomer of the Year and MWC All-Defensive Team honoree.

Also back from last season is sophomore point guard and MWC co-Freshman of the Year Yaiza Rodriguez Ortego, who averaged 9.5 points and 3.3 assists. After spending the summer playing for Spain’s U-20 national team, she is ready for her second season in Boise.

Camille Redmon joined the squad this summer after graduating from Purdue last spring. The

Among the other standouts who return is junior wing Kayla Reinhart, who set the MWC three-point percentage record last season, hitting 58.7 percent from long range in 18 league contests. Anchorage native Keiahnna Engel is also back after starting all 32 games last year, averaging 7.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

Miquelle Askew was the only true post the Broncos had that was healthy last year, finishing with averages of 13 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.

he 2014-15 season looks promising for sixth-year head coach Jody Wynn’s 49ers as they welcome back seven letterwinners and three redshirts from last year’s squad that went 17-15 overall. Leading the way will be seniors Lauren Spargo, Alex Sanchez and Hallie Meneses.

Spargo earned All-Big West honorable mention recognition after averaging 10.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game as a junior. Sanchez, a two-time All-Big West selection, finished with 9.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals per outing despite missing half of the conference season with a foot injury. Meneses added 8.2 points per contest and compiled a team-high 137 assists (4.3 apg) in 2013-14.

LBSU also returns its leading scorer in sophomore Raven Benton. Benton had a phenomenal freshman campaign in which she registered 12.2 points per game – getting to the free-throw line 177 times – and ranked second on the team with 5.4 rebounds per game. Classmate Anna Kim added 7.7 points and 2.2 assists per outing. The two were named to the 2014 Big

West All-Freshman Team, and their return gives LBSU five of its top six scorers from a year ago.

In addition, the 49ers bring back sophomores Madison Montgomery (6.3 ppg, 3.7 rpg) and Jewelyn Sawyer (4.0 ppg, 3.8 rpg), while juniors Bianka Balthazar, Chantel Dooley and Devin Hudson are all coming off redshirt seasons.

Long Beach native and USC transfer Thaddesia Southall, a 6-4 post, is trying to bounce back from a knee injury. She leads a talented pack of newcomers, including freshmen Jessica Gertz (Oregon City, Ore.) and Cecily Wilson (Gilbert, Ariz.).

Hallie Meneses

LBSU TRIVIA • LBSU legend Penny Toler led the 49ers to back-to-back Final 4 appearances in 1987 and 1988 and is commonly remembered as the first player to score a field goal in the WNBA. • More students have applied to LBSU than to any other of the 23 Cal State University campuses each of the past five years.

YALE TRIVIA • More than 200 former Yale student-athletes and coaches have participated in the Olympic Games, earning a total of 113 medals.

• Yale has graduated many notable alumni, including five U.S. Presidents, 19 U.S. Supreme Court justices, 13 living billionaires and 52 Nobel laureates.

Emmy Allen

he Yale women’s basketball team, led by 10-year head coach Chris Gobrecht, is coming off a 13-15 record and a fourth place finish in the Ivy League in the 2013-14 season.

The Bulldogs will play a 28-game schedule this season, including 16 road games.

Gobrecht’s squad will travel across the country to Washington, Alaska, Oklahoma and Arizona for non-conference matchups.

The only senior on the team, Sarah Halejian, will serve as team captain for the upcoming season after two consecutive years being named an All-Ivy First-Team selection. Halejian led the team in scoring, averaging 15.5 points per game, which ranked third in the Ivy League. She led the league in assists (3.6) and steals (2.4) as well.

The team consists of one senior, four juniors, four sophomores, and four freshmen heading into the 2014-15 season. Juniors Emmy Allen, Meredith Boardman, Nyasha Sarju, and Whitney Wyckoff will look to help Halejian with team leadership duties.

In 2013-14, Boardman led the Bulldogs in rebounds (5.5 per game), Allen led in blocks (0.8 bpg) and Sarju led in free throw percentage (.955), while Wyckoff was named to the Ivy League Weekly Honor Roll in March.

Having a mix of experience and youth will be useful considering the tough schedule Yale has to face. The Bulldogs are slated to play three teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament last season (St. John’s, Oklahoma, and Arizona State), in addition to the regular Ivy schedule which includes defending champion Penn.

The coaching staff saw some changes in the offseason, adding assistant coaches Stacy McIntyre and Brandon Gade to join Clare Fitzpatrick, who enters her second year at Yale.

McIntyre joins the Bulldogs with 10 years of Division I coaching experience, including seven years as an assistant at USC under Gobrecht.

Gade rounds out the Bulldog staff after most recently spending two years as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Division III Albertus Magnus.

2014 GCI Great Alaska Shootout

27

MEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY The GCI Great Alaska Shootout began as a dream of Bob Rachal, who coached the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves during the 1977-78 season. Rachal, who died of cancer in 1985, wanted to put a fledgling UAA basketball program on the map and do it in style.

With a personality reminiscent of a 19th century riverboat gambler, he parlayed an NCAA rule that said games outside the contiguous 48 states didn’t count against your normal allotment of 28, plus the lure of Alaska itself, into a winning hand.

The big gamble was whether the UAA and the community could attract big-name schools to the new tournament, in Alaska of all places. The gamble paid off. Coaches jumped at the chance to squeeze in three “free” games against topflight competition, not to mention the recruiting possibilities a trip to Alaska afforded.

The first Sea Wolf Classic was played in November of 1978 in the 4,000-seat Buckner Field House at Fort Richardson near Anchorage.

Each two-game session drew a disappointing average of only 2,500 people, until fans filled the gym to capacity on Sunday night to see

the Wolfpack from North Carolina State defeat Louisville to win the tournament’s first title.

The inaugural event received national press attention and portions of the tournament were televised live to regional markets of the teams involved – a first for the state of Alaska. More important was the reaction of the visiting coaches, who praised the hospitality, the officiating and most of all, the level of competition.

Even as the first Sea Wolf Classic ended, plans were being made for hosting the second tournament, pending a review of the three-day event by UAA officials. In the end, they declared that the Classic was a success and should continue.

And in 1979 it did. Only it wasn’t the Sea Wolf Classic anymore. It was now called the Great Alaska Shootout – a name reportedly coined by television commentator Billy Packer during regional television broadcasts of the initial tourney. Kentucky, led by guard Kyle Macy, defeated Jeff Ruland-led Iona for the 1979 title.

Regardless of the name, the holiday event was now well on its way to acceptance both at home and among the nation’s top hoops teams.

Soon it was called “the best kept secret in basketball.” But the secret was out, and UAA’s sports program, the state of Alaska and major college basketball are all the better for it.

In 1983, the Shootout moved from its original confines at Buckner into a newly constructed municipal sports facility in midtown Anchorage, the Sullivan Arena. Named for former Anchorage mayor George Sullivan, it was part of Anchorage’s Project 80s, in which oil wealth was turned into a series of major public building projects. The $30 million facility gave the Shootout twice the number of seats.

In the early 1990s, the Shootout faced an obstacle that couldn’t be solved through local help alone. The NCAA passed legislation to push the start of the basketball season back to December 1, threatening the existence of the Thanksgiving tournament. But then-coach Harry Larrabee and former athletic director Ron Petro went to work, crisscrossing the country to gain support for an exemption for the Shootout.

Fortunately for Anchorage basketball fans, their efforts were not in vain and the Shootout was granted the exemption it needed to continue as the premier in-season basketball tournament in the nation.

From 1994-98 the event became the Carrs Great Alaska Shootout, and from 1999-2013 was the Carrs/Safeway Great Shootout. This past spring, the tournament entered a new era with statewide telecommunications leader GCI becoming the title sponsor.

All told, 26 NCAA champions have taken part in the Shootout. The defending national champion has taken part in the tournament five times, although not since Kentucky’s visit in 1996. North Carolina State was the first, starting the defense of its 1983 title in Anchorage.

Two years later, Villanova played in the 1985 Shootout after winning a national title earlier that spring. Louisville (1986) and Kansas (1988) have also played in the Shootout after winning national titles.

Duke, the 1998 Shootout runner-up team featuring Anchorage’s own Trajan Langdon, began its run to the 1999 Final Four here. In 1997-98 North Carolina started its trek to the Final Four at the Shootout as did Kentucky in 1996-97 and Duke in 2003-04.

With the turn of the century, the Shootout continued to be a springboard to success. The entire 2003 Final Four field featured teams who had made Shootout appearances since 1999 – Kansas (1999 champion), Syracuse (2000 champion), Marquette (2001 champion) and Texas (2001, 5th place). Indiana made the 2002 NCAA Final after placing third at the Shootout.

The 2004 Shootout saw one of the strongest fields ever, producing five NCAA Tournament teams – Alabama, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Utah and Washington. Both Oklahoma and Utah –

featuring future NBA No. 1 pick Andrew Bogut – went on to win their leagues, while Washington earned a No. 1 seed for March Madness.

In 2007, the Shootout featured eventual top 10-ranked Butler, NCAA Tournament darling Western Kentucky, and all-time college basketball wins leader Bob Knight in his last go-round with Texas Tech. Most recently, the Shootout was the national coming-out party for a 2011-12 Murray State team that vaulted into the top-10 rankings and posted a 31-2 record, while last year’s champs from Harvard went on to a 27-5 record, Ivy League title and an NCAA Tournament upset of Cincinnati.

Wisconsin, Holy Cross, CCNY, La Salle, Loyola (Ill.) and Texas-El Paso – have not played in the Shootout at one time or another. In fact, with UConn’s 2014 coronation, the last 48 NCAA champions have appeared in the Shootout.

From the beginning, the Shootout has attracted the attention of the nation’s sports press.

Nearly every major daily newspaper and sports magazine has at one time or another staffed the event. Televised from its inception on a regional basis, the Shootout went live via ESPN from 1985 to 2007, and in 2012 CBS Sports Network returned the tournament to a national audience.

Indeed, the GCI Great Alaska Shootout is no secret anymore, rather an event eagerly awaited college hoops fans across the country.

MEN’S SHOOTOUT NOTES

Seawolves have never shied away from playing the best teams in college basketball. On more than a few occasions, they have proved to be giant killers against that tough competition. UAA regularly plays at least three games each season against Division I programs, and the team takes pride in its success against quality foes. Perhaps the most memorable moment in UAA basketball history came when the Seawolves knocked off No. 2-ranked Michigan 70-66 at the Utah Seiko Classic during the 1988-89 season – the same year the Wolverines won the NCAA title. Following is a list of the 46 Division I programs that have fallen victim to the Seawolves: Auburn Ball State California Canisius Dayton Drexel Eastern Kentucky Grambling State High Point Houston Houston Baptist

ne year after using an undersized lineup to forge a 17-13 record and break copious three-point records, Alaska Anchorage will return to a more traditional look as it aims for a playoff return in 2014-15. Already with one of the top backcourts in NCAA Div. II, 11th-year head coach Rusty Osborne will welcome several big bodies in the post, giving UAA a more balanced attack.

Leading the charge will be the experienced and heralded backcourt of senior shooting guard Travis Thompson – a Div. II Bulletin ‘Super 16’ Preseason All-American – and junior point guard Brian McGill, who captured Second Team AllGNAC honors in his debut season at UAA. Senior Boomer Blossom (2.4 ppg, 27-to-1 asst.-turnover ratio) is the only other returning veteran in the backcourt, but Osborne’s staff added plenty more firepower with transfers Derrick Fain, Kevin Bowman and Dom Hunter.

Fain, the leading scorer for NAIA The Master’s College last season, comes to UAA for his final collegiate campaign with the repu-

tation as a dangerous shooter and penetrator.

Meanwhile, sophomore Travis Parrish will provide versatility on the wing. Parrish is returning to the court for the first time since high school, having spent the last two years as a member of Utah State’s successful Div. I football program.

The only players with experience in the frontcourt are returning senior post Brad Mears (4.4 ppg) and junior forward Christian Leckband (4.5 ppg), but they will be complemented by the addition of four players who stand 6-7 or taller — Kalidou Diouf, Nicho Burgard, Sjur Berg and Brian Pearson.

olorado State enters the 2014-15 season – its third under two-time National Coach of the Year Larry Eustachy – looking to contend for a championship in the Mountain West, and return to the NCAA Tournament for the third time in four seasons.

Eustachy, who led the Rams to a programbest 26-9 record and an appearance in the third round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament, has assembled one of the most physically gifted groups of players in program history, melding the Rams’ strong core of returning players with a talented crop of newcomers that will have the opportunity to make an immediate impact.

The Rams return three starters from the 2013-14 squad that finished 16-16, led by AllMountain West performers in senior guard Daniel Bejarano and senior forward J.J. Avila.

The duo combined to average nearly 33 points per game last season, with Avila posting 16.6 points per game to Bejarano’s 16.3. They also ranked as a top rebounding tandem, as Bejarano held the edge 8.3 to 7.4 rebounds per game.

Junior guard Joe De Ciman also returns

after starting 22 games during his breakout sophomore campaign in which he averaged 8.6 points per game and ranked second on the team with 34 three-pointers made. The Rams also return sophomore guard Carlton Hurst and senior forward/center Marcus Holt, who each played in 30 games last season.

A trio of Division I transfers – senior forward Stanton Kidd, junior forward Tiel Daniels and sophomore guard John Gillon – return to the court after sitting out last season per NCAA transfer rules. In addition, the Rams add junior guard Gian Clavell, a former junior-college AllAmerican.

quick glance at the 2014-15 Mercer roster may have some labeling it a rebuilding season for seventh-year head coach Bob Hoffman.

Gone are seven seniors off last year’s team that Hoffman molded into the program’s most successful class, winning 27 games and capturing the nation’s attention with an NCAA Tournament upset of perennial power Duke.

The absence of that consistency is compounded by a switch in league affiliation for the first time in Mercer’s history, as the Bears prepare for year one in the historic Southern Conference.

While those changes may define Mercer basketball to others, Hoffman draws on the belief that his 2014-15 team is poised to continue the championship legacy he’s worked so hard to establish.

“We’re fired up about a new season and a new conference,” Hoffman said. “Every day our guys are working at a high level, and they understand what it takes to get where we’ve been.”

Despite returning zero starters from last

year’s squad, the roster still includes a trove of proven players who won’t shy away from putting the program on their collective back. Many of the returners have been there every step of the way, learning the demands of Hoffman’s system and gaining valuable big-game experience.

Among Mercer’s most seasoned returners are Darious Moten, T.J. Hallice and Jibri Bryan.

Together the unit brings nine collective years of experience, highlighted by breakout performances for each along the way. Additionally, Mercer’s backcourt features key returners Ike Nwamu and Phil Leonard, second-year men who combined for 419 points a year ago.

T.J. Hallice

MERCER TRIVIA • Mercer’s 78-71 defeat of Duke in last year’s March Madness marked the Bears’ first-ever NCAA Tournament victory and won the ESPY Award for Best Upset.

• Although still known for its theology programs, Mercer discontinued its official affiliation with the Georgia Baptist Convention in 2006 after 173 years.

ith four starters back from a 20-win team, Missouri State head coach Paul Lusk has the Missouri State Bears primed to make their fourth postseason tournament run in six years.

Lusk, in his fourth season in Springfield, will look to junior guard Marcus Marshall, who was the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year in 2013 before a season-ending knee injury shortened his sophomore campaign.

Marshall was averaging 14.3 points per game in early January while leading MSU to a 12-3 start before his injury.

The Bears managed a fourth-place finish in the Missouri Valley last season without Marshall’s services down the stretch. Thenfreshman Austin Ruder emerged as one of the league’s top threats from the perimeter, knocking down 72 three-pointers on the way to earning MVC All-Freshman Team honors. His total from long range marked the third-best trey total by a freshman in league history. Ruder also averaged a team-best 29.7 minutes per game.

The Bears also return starters Tyler McCullough and Dorrian Williams. The 6-11 McCullough got 20 starts in 28 appearances last

winter after blocking 24 shots and converting 52 percent of his field goal attempts as a true freshman. Williams dished out a team-high 112 assists and made 24 starts while finishing third in the MVC in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.38).

Williams’ experience at the point will help Missouri State continue its calling card of solid possessions and dead-eye shooting. The Bears have the fifth-best turnover average in the Division I ranks over the last four seasons combined.

Missouri State will also look to the collective experience of seniors Christian Kirk – a 53 percent career shooter – and Ron Mvouika as well.

acific returns for its second year in the West Coast Conference, looking to improve upon last season’s strong finish.

In 2013-14, the Tigers were 18-16 under head coach Ron Verlin, advancing to the semifinals of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament by winning three postseason games.

Veterans Gabriel Aguirre, Thomas Peters, David Taylor and T.J.

Ursery and Kaleb Warner).

Of the returning players, Wallace leads the way, having averaged 7.0 points per game last season. The Stockton native and sophomore out of Modesto Christian High School is expected

to be one of the WCC’s top point guards this season. Taylor averaged 3.2 points per game a year ago while Aguirre provided 2.6 points per game. All three excelled as the Tigers’ season continued in the CIT. On the JC transfer side, Robinson and Eleraky join the Tigers from City College of San Francisco. Eleraky scored 4.9 ppg and had 5.6 rpg and was 11th in the state with 53 blocks, while Robinson averaged 13.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game as a sophomore. Kobre helped lead Santa Rosa JC to the state JC title and was second in the state in threepointers (113).

With eight players returning and eight newcomers, the team will have a different look.

Rhoades’ tenure at VCU was highlighted by a trip to the 2011 Final Four. Prior to that, he spent 10 years as head coach at NCAA Division III Randolph-Macon College. He won 197 games, four ODAC Coach of the Year awards, and took the team to four NCAA Tournaments.

Among others, the squad will look to replace 2014 graduate Austin Ramljak, who set the program’s single-season three-point record and twice earned a spot on the Conference USA

A bevy of newcomers will compete for playing time early in the season, including freshmen signees Bishop Mency, Nate Pollard, Jordan Reed and Maurice Rivers. Graduate transfer Van Green (Columbia University) will add experience for the Owls as well.

Academic excellence has been a theme for the Blue and Gray as the program placed a leaguehigh 12 members on the C-USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll in 2013-14.

ed by senior forward Alan Williams, the 2014 Big West Conference Player of the Year and the nation’s leading rebounder, the 2014-15 UC Santa Barbara basketball team shapes up as one of the deepest and most talented in program history.

Williams averaged 21.3 points and 11.5 rebounds per game while leading the Gauchos to 21 wins last season. Also returning are a pair of Honorable Mention All-Big West selections in senior point guard Zalmico Harmon and junior swingman Michael Bryson. As a junior, Harmon’s assist-to-turnover ratio of 4.6-to-1.0 ranked second in the nation, while Bryson sank 55 three-pointers.

UCSB will also return several key role players, including backup sophomore point guard Eric Childress (5.3 ppg, 3.1 apg) and junior T.J. Taylor, who missed all of 2013-14 after having hip surgery. Taylor was the team’s starting point guard in 2012-13 and one of its most prolific

Junior forwards Mitch Brewe (4.1 ppg, 3.4 rpg) and Sam Beeler (2.8 ppg) also return. After overcoming an early-season knee injury, Brewe started 24 times and played in 27 games overall as a sophomore.

The Gauchos hope that junior swingman John Green has overcome various injuries and is ready to contribute. Green, one of the most talented players in the program, has played in just three games during his first three years at UCSB.

ith nearly 20 years of head coaching experience under this belt, firstyear Washington State men’s basketball head coach Ernie Kent hopes to bring success to the Cougars and change the culture, beginning with the 2014-15 season.

With three starters and nine letterwinners returning, the Cougars are looking to improve upon their 10-21 overall record and 3-15 11thplace Pacific-12 mark a year ago.

Highlighting the returnees is senior DaVonté Lacy, who became the 34th WSU men’s basketball student-athlete to reach the 1,000-point plateau, while doing it in the ninth-fewest games in school history (85). Plagued by injury during his junior year, he averaged 19.4 points per game and still managed 76 three-pointers.

Lacy is joined by fellow seniors Dexter Kernich-Drew and Jordan Railey, the other two returning starters from last season. A guard, Kernich-Drew averaged just 6.3 points per game as a redshirt junior, but showed flashes of greatness, including a 24-point performance against

Colorado in which he made six three-pointers. A center, Railey changed his uniform number from 20 to 4, and is looking to put a dent in WSU’s career blocks records after swatting 30 last season with the Cougars.

Redshirt sophomore Que Johnson is another Cougar who had big games last season, leading WSU in scoring in six of the eight games that Lacy missed, including two 21-point performances. Junior forward Junior Longrus also returns after starting seven games a year ago, as do guards Dominic Ballard and Ike Iroegbu and forwards Brett Boese and Josh Hawkinson.

SEAWOLF ATHLETICS

W

hen it comes to success stories, the GCI Great Alaska Shootout is just the beginning for the University of Alaska Anchorage athletic department. In their relatively short history – dating back to 1977 – Seawolf teams and individual athletes have established a great tradition of success.

UAA sponsors 13 NCAA sports, with men’s ice hockey and women’s gymnastics competing at the Division I level. The Seawolves’ other squads – men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s skiing, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s outdoor track & field, and men’s & women’s indoor track & field – all compete under the Division II banner.

Seawolf Athletics posted yet another impressive performance in 2013-14, producing five top10 NCAA team finishes, one NCAA individual title, four Great Northwest Athletic Conference team titles, 25 All-Americans and two CoSIDA/ Capital One Academic All-Americans. Women’s cross country led the way with a program-best 4th-place showing at NCAAs, helping the entire Seawolf program finish 16th in the Learfield Director’s Cup standings for NCAA Div. II – the fourth straight year UAA has placed among the nation’s top 10 percent.

MEN’S & WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: The UAA hoopsters have established themselves as annual contenders for the Great Northwest Athletic Conference titles. In 2008, UAA became just the second Division II school ever to send its men’s and women’s squads to the NCAA Semifinals in the same season, and the men were NCAA Runners-up in 1988. Currently the men have posted nine straight winning seasons, while the women have eight consecutive winning records.

MEN’S & WOMEN’S CROSS COUNTRY: On the trails, coach Michael Friess has established his teams as national contenders year-in and yearout. Earlier this fall, the top 10-ranked UAA men earned their fifth straight GNAC title with a dominating performance at the league championships, with freshman Henry Cheseto leading a 1-2-3 sweep. Meanwhile, the women – also nationally ranked – missed out on a fifth straight title by just a single point.

off to another fast start in 2014-15, earning early wins over Maine and Wisconsin to rise into the national rankings for the first time since 2008.

GYMNASTICS: Since moving up to the Div. I ranks in 2003, the Seawolf gymnasts have regularly challenged programs from the nation’s top conferences, such as Nebraska, Kentucky and Iowa, and continue to establish new school records. With a brand-new training facility at the Alaska Airlines Center, 31st-year head coach Paul Stoklos is excited about the future of the Seawolf program.

MEN’S & WOMEN’S SKIING: While UAA’s ski program is technically Division II, teams from all three NCAA divisions compete on a level playing field at the sport’s national meet. And the Seawolves are consistently best among nonDivision I programs, placing in the overall top-10 at NCAAs for 29 of the past 30 seasons. This year the Seawolves will host the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association Championships at Alyeska Resort and Kincaid Park.

HOCKEY: The Seawolves posted the program’s best record in 20 years of Western Collegiate Hockey Assocation play last year, winning 18 games and advancing to the WCHA Final Five under new head coach Matt Thomas. UAA is

and six individual NCAA titles. Junior javelin thrower Cody Parker – the 2013 NCAA champ – will spearhead another powerful men’s squad next spring, while junior multi-event AllAmerican Karolin Anders will try to help the Seawolf women defend their GNAC indoor and outdoor team titles.

VOLLEYBALL: Seventh-year head coach Chris Green’s teams have risen to become perennial contenders in the NCAA West Region, earning the program’s fifth NCAA bid in six seasons and posting another 20-win campaign in 2014.

Currently featuring Alaska-grown standouts such as Katelynn Zanders (South Anchorage), Julia Mackey (Fairbanks/West Valley) and Morgan Hooe (South Anchorage), UAA has produced two GNAC Players of the Year, four Newcomers of the Year, and two Freshmen of the Year since 2008.

TOM CASE

KEITH HACKETT

om Case, Lt. Gen. USAF (Ret.), became chancellor of the University of Alaska Anchorage in May 2011. Upon completing his Air Force career, he was appointed dean of UAA’s College of Business and Public Policy (CBPP), where he served nearly six years before becoming president and chief operating officer of the state-owned, independently operated Alaska Aerospace Corporation.

Since returning to UAA as Chancellor, Case has focused on helping students succeed in their college goals. In 2011, UAA became one of only 11 universities nationwide to open a VetSuccess program on campus.

UAA opened a Veteran’s Resource Center in 2013 to support its growing military and veteran student population.

With support from Chancellor funds, UAA established the INNOVATE awards in 2011 to provide an incentive for innovative research. Seawolf Holdings was approved in 2012, establishing a pathway toward the commercialization of UAA research. In February 2013, ZENSOR, LLC became the first startup company incorporated in Alaska based upon research by UAA faculty. A second startup incorporated in June 2013.

Currently, UAA has 31 invention disclosures with 12 patents pending.

Under Case’s leadership, UAA opened a new Health Sciences Building, the new Alaska Airlines Center, and received funding to complete a new Engineering and Industry Building, slated to open in 2015.

Married to his wife Susan for 45 years, they have a daughter Donna, son-in-law Daniel, and three grandchildren.

A graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Case received a Master of Science degree in Systems Management from the University of Southern California.

ntering his second year as Director of Athletics at the University of Alaska Anchorage, Keith Hackett has positioned the Seawolves’ 13-sport NCAA program for unprecedented growth and success as a new era begins in 2014-15.

Since arriving on Oct. 1, 2013, Hackett has overseen the planning and logistics for the department’s transition into the $109 million Alaska Airlines Center – a state-of-the-art sports, community and concert venue that will transform the UAA campus – along with expanded hockey facilities at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex.

Under his leadership, the department has developed an official strategic plan that will guide the decision-making process and allow the department to maintain a focus on the mission of Seawolf Athletics.

A university and administrative management executive with 37 years of higher education experience, Hackett values connecting with the Anchorage community, and building positive relationships with campus faculty, students, staff and U-Med District partners.

In addition to reorganizing the internal management structure of the department, he has also entered into agreements with several national leaders in collegiate brand advancement, developing partnerships with Global Spectrum to manage the Alaska Airlines Center, Front Row Marketing to oversee corporate partnerships, and Paciolan for ticketing.

Along with his behind-the-scenes contributions, UAA’s success in the competitive arena was also apparent in Hackett’s first year. In 201314, the Seawolves not only finished 16th of 315 institutions nationally in the NCAA Div. II Learfield Director’s Cup, but also produced 25 All-Americans, nine NCAA Championships team qualifications and four Great Northwest Athletic Conference team titles, while UAA studentathletes combined for a 3.18 overall grade-point average.

Hackett came to UAA after working from 2004-13 as the senior associate AD for internal affairs at the University of Nevada, where he oversaw the football, track & field/cross country and baseball programs.

In addition to his day-to-day responsibilities with specific teams, Hackett was involved with donor relations and major gifts, budget, human and physical resource management, and alumni and community relations at Nevada. As a key member of the Wolf Pack’s senior leadership team, he was responsible for oversight of all athletics department capital projects, development of the department’s first athletic facilities master plan, and event management for all home contests.

Prior to his time in Reno, Hackett served as Executive Vice President for Special Projects and was Director of the St. Gregory’s University College for Working Adults in Tulsa, Okla. He also served as Executive Vice President and Provost at St. Gregory’s University in Shawnee, Okla., from 1997-2004, and as VP for Admissions and Enrollment Management/Dean of Admissions for Law, Graduate and Undergraduate Admissions at Oklahoma City University from 1992-97. He worked at OCU as Dean of Students from 1986-89.

From 1989-92, Hackett was the Associate AD at Northern Illinois University, where he oversaw eight Division I sports, including football and men’s and women’s basketball.

The native of Nanuet, N.Y., began his college coaching and teaching career at Baker University in Baldwin, Kan., where he was head baseball coach from 1978-83 and assistant football coach from 1977-83. From there, he went on to coach offensive line for the football program at Div. I Memphis from 1983-85.

Hackett earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Tarkio (Mo.) College in 1976 and an M.S. in education from the University of Kansas in 1979.

He and his wife Patricia have been married for 38 years and have two adult children, Katie and James.

The Municipality of Anchorage A

laska’s most populous city is home to more than a few surprises. Aside from the human population of nearly 300,000, it is home to 1,500 moose and copious other wildlife. More than 50 glaciers stand in the nearby Chugach Mountains, one of the largest state parks in the nation. It’s the best mix of iconic Alaska and urban amenities.

More than 135 miles of paved trails wind through the city, and salmon can be caught within the city limits. But Anchorage

also has a bustling downtown – complete with high-rises, nightlife and one of the nation’s fastest-growing culinary scenes.

Anchorage is at the center of road, rail and air travel inside the state, making it a natural fit for visitors hoping to experience Alaska. Activities from the city range from bear viewing to glacier trekking, kayaking to gold panning.

Pair adventure opportunities with Anchorage’s outstanding hotels, restaurants,

local breweries, and homegrown arts, and it’s a perfect place to explore no matter the season.

Thanksgiving weekend is a special time for Anchorage. The GCI Great Alaska Shootout headlines a holiday weekend packed with events. The Town Square tree lighting, the Anchorage Museums craft fair and seasonal exhibits, and other big sporting events all combine to keep Anchorage jumping.

The State of Alaska A

laska is the largest state in the union — one-fifth the size of the contiguous 48 states and more than twice the size of the second-largest state, Texas.

Although Minnesota is called the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Alaska holds the real title in that department with more than three million lakes. Alaska also boasts 39 different mountain ranges, three of which can be seen from Anchorage, and an estimated 100,000 glaciers.

The 49th State is home to Denali, the highest peak in North America (20,320 feet). Also known as Mt. McKinley, the collosal mountain is located in the heart of Denali National Park and Preserve, located 200 miles north of Anchorage, and can be seen from the city on clear days.
