SHOOTOUT COMMITTEE & SEAWOLF CAPTAINS

The Seawolf Captain program enters its 23rd year of operation

with the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. Chosen by the UAA Athletics and coordinated by Jim and Bobbi Olson (right), 12 sets of highly qualified local residents give of their time to act as official hosts for their assigned teams. The tasks of the captains are varied, but their primary role is simply to make their respective team’s visit as enjoyable as possible.

GoSeawolves.com

Although officially hosted by the Uni versity of Alaska Anchorage, much of the administration of the Carrs/ Safeway Great Alaska Shootout is handled annually by the Shootout Tourn ament Committee. Chaired this year by Brian Nerland (above), the committee is a volunteer group that gives of 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 tournament publicity and selling tickets. Even prior to the conclusion of the 2007 tournament, the wheels are already in motion with the planning of the 2008 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout.

GEORGE M. SULLIVAN ARENA

THE

SEAWOLF

in March of that year the Seawolf hockey team played its first game at Sullivan when it took on the U.S. National Team. Since that time, UAA has emerged as one of the topdrawing hockey programs in the nation. Basketball fans have flocked to the Sullivan to see the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. Over the last 10 years, more than 50,000 fans per tournament have squeezed into Sullivan, and seven sessions have drawn sellout crowds. Managed by SMG, the arena is designed with flexibility in mind. It can host nearly every indoor sport, and can be configured to host any large gathering such as concerts, trade shows or circuses. Complete with an

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.

international-sized ice rink (100 x 200 feet), the arena takes advantage of portable seating to switch from hockey to basketball configurations in a matter of hours. The latest addition is the new floor that was installed in time for the 2004 Shootout, giving the arena a fresh look for the nationally televised event. A fully automated scoreboard, installed in 2002, hangs in the center of the arena, and is complemented by smaller versions at each of the building’s four corners. In 2001, the giant, 16-by-9-foot “Sulli-Vision” video screen was installed on the south wall. A first-class sound and lighting system completes the setting.

The Seawolf basketball teams host the Carrs/ Safeway Great Alaska Shootout in the 8,700seat Sullivan Arena in Midtown Anchorage – a site that has also grown into one of the finest college hockey arenas in the nation. The municipally owned arena was named in honor of former Anchorage mayor George Sullivan, whose Project 80s plan took oil wealth and turned it into a series of major public building projects. The Shootout moved to the $30 million facility in 1983, tripling the tournament’s seating capacity from its former home at Buckner Fieldhouse on Fort Richardson. A Willie Nelson concert on Feb. 8, 1983 was the first event hosted by the arena, and

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.

2007 TOURNAMENT PREVIEW

As if 16 games in five days weren’t enough for the average college basketball junkie, the plot lines for the 30th annual Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout are seemingly endless. On the women’s side, the hometown Seawolves of Alaska Anchorage are looking to defend their 2006 title and capture their third championship in five years, while former Alaska high school star Chandice Cronk makes what she hopes is a triumphant return with her Santa Clara Broncos. The men’s tournament is once again loaded with big names and even bigger expectations, featuring arguably the top two ‘mid-major’ squads in the country with Butler and Gonzaga, plus the alltime-winningest coach in men’s NCAA Division I history with Texas Tech’s Bob Knight. And that’s not even counting majorconference teams such as Michigan of the Big Ten and Virginia Tech of the storied Atlantic Coast Conference. Western Kentucky forward Courtney Lee, meanwhile, might be one of the least known — but most talented — players in the nation this season. Here’s a quick look at this year’s Shootout squads:

CLEVELAND STATE: Another Shootout first-timer, CSU should be much improved over last year’s 8-22 record, thanks to the return of sophomore guard Kailey Klein. The Vikings’ top returnee was the Horizon League Newcomer of the Year in 2006-07 and is a preseason all-league pick heading into this campaign. Head coach Kate Peterson Abiad also gets back hard-nosed defensive specialist Dominique Butler, plus senior team leaders Brittany Korth in the backcourt and Robyn Hoying down low.

WOMEN’S FIELD ALASKA ANCHORAGE: The Seawolves are the only Division II team in the field, but they will not be taken lightly by either of their opponents. UAA captured the 2006 Shootout title with thrilling wins over Air Force and UC Riverside to claim its third-ever tournament title (1990, 2003), and the Seawolves return the Most Outstanding Player of last year’s event in junior center Rebecca Kielpinski. Coming off a 23-6 season, the Seawolves are picked the finish second in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference and tabbed in the nation’s top 20 in multiple NCAA D-II rankings.

MEN’S FIELD ALASKA ANCHORAGE: The Seawolves should feature one of their most dangerous teams in recent memory as they vie for a sixth straight year with at least one victory in their showcase tourney. Senior All-America candidates Luke Cooper at point guard and Carl Arts at forward are returning first- and second-team Great Northwest Athletic Conference picks from a year ago, while fellow returnees McCade Olsen and Cameron Burney are among the most athletic players in NCAA Division II. Division I transfers Chris Bryant and Doug Hardy, plus former NAIA star Jeremiah Trueman should give fourthyear head coach Rusty Osborne a lift as well.

BRADLEY: The Peoria, Ill., school makes its Shootout debut in 2007 with an extremely young squad, having graduating four of its top five scorers from a year ago. Eighth-year head coach Paula Buscher will rely heavily on the experience and double-digit scoring of senior

30th anniversary Shootout shapes up as a dandy

SANTA CLARA: Head coach Michelle Bento-Jackson’s Broncos have developed a reputation as one of the top three-point shooting teams in the country over the past several campaigns, thanks largely to the exploits of Cronk. The former Wasilla High star was the leading scorer in the West Coast Conference as a junior, averaging 16.5 points, including more than three treys per game. Despite the return of all-league firstteamer Cronk and honorable mention forward Jen Gottschalk, the Broncos were predicted seventh in the WCC’s preseason poll.

5Butler senior guard A.J. Graves powered 5Marquette’s Steve Novak is a preseason his team to the NCAA’s Sweet 16 last season All-America candidate. The Golden Eagles and is a candidate for the Wooden Award forward shot 46.1 percent from three-point as college basketball’s player-of-the-year in range in 2004-05. 2007-08.

guard Devyn Flanagan, while Hampton transfer Monica Rogers will have to make a major impact at forward for the Braves to overcome their 10th-place prediction in the Missouri Valley Conference preseason poll. The Braves are the first MVC team to make a Shootout appearance since the conference added women’s basketball in the early 1990s.

guards A.J. Graves and Mike Smith combining to make one of the most dangerous backcourt combos in all of college basketball. After 29 victories and reaching the NCAA Tournament’s ‘Sweet 16’ round last spring, Butler is once again the preseason favorite in the Horizon League, with Graves tabbed the conference’s Preseason Player of the Year. Look for fellow senior Julian Betko to make a big impact as well after starting all 36 games in 2006-07. EASTERN WASHINGTON: New head coach Kirk Earlywine faces a major rebuilding effort in Cheney, with just one starter — 6-7 forward Kellen Williams — and no double-digit scorers back from last year’s 15-14 team. Earlywine has added a major influx of talent from the junior college and international ranks (two Serbians and a Canadian) in an effort to turn the Eagles back into contenders in the Big Sky Conference. GONZAGA: Despite not playing a ‘major’ conference, the Zags have forged a reputation as a national power over the last decade, becoming regular NCAA Tournament participants and producing such NBA lottery picks as Adam Morrison. And head coach Mark Few’s 200708 crew might be one of his best ever, with a well-balanced attack led by guard Jeremy Pargo on the perimeter, big man Josh Heytvelt in the middle and rising star Matt Bouldin at the swingman spot. Like Butler, these Bulldogs are also picked as their league’s favorites — in the West Coast Conference — and garnered a No. 14 national ranking in the USA Today/ESPN top 25 coaches’ poll. Gonzaga will be trying to trying for its first Shootout title after finishing runner-up to Dwyane Wade and Marquette in 2001. MICHIGAN: The John Beilein era begins at U-M this year as the former West Virginia mentor hopes to work the same magic in Ann Arbor as he did in Morgantown, where he twice took the Mountaineers deep into the NCAA Tournament. But Beilein’s challenge will be large in 2007-08 as he inherits a team decimated by graduation that features just one scholarship senior — 6-6 swingman Ron Coleman. Beilein did make inroads in recrut-

ing, however, including bringing in the state’s Mr. Basketball, 6-5 guard Manny Harris. The youth movement will be key to the Wolverines’ success in the alwaystough Big Ten Conference. TEXAS TECH: The Red Raiders make just their second-ever Shootout appearance in 2007, but it will be the third time north for Bob Knight, Division I’s new all-time wins leader. ‘The General’ started the season with 890 victories and will rely on senior guard and Wooden Award candidate Martin Zeno as he attempts to bolster that total. The Lubbock school is aiming for its second straight NCAA Tournament berth after going 21-13 a year ago. VIRGINIA TECH: Coming off its most successful season in decades — 22 wins and a second-round NCAA Tournament berth — the Hokies will be challenged

with a rebuilding effort in 2007-08. Gone is first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference guard Zabian Dowdell and defensive stopper Jamon Gordon, so head coach Seth Greenberg will look to veterans Deron Washington and A.D. Vassallo to keep the Hokies afloat in what many consider the nation’s toughest conference. WESTERN KENTUCKY: A definite dark horse in this year’s field is first-time Shootout participant Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers have averaged over 20 wins under young head coach Darrin Horn the past three years and are a traditional power in the underrated Sun Belt Conference. WKU’s success this season rests squarely on the shoulders of senior NBA prospect Courtney Lee, a 6-5 forward who averaged 17.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.6 steals per game last year, doing most of that damage on a bum ankle.

WOMEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY GoSeawolves.com

Entering its 28th edition, the Carrs/Safeway 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 ninth 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. But thanks in large measure to the generosity of the tournament’s title sponsor, it was announced on September 3, 1998 that, starting in 1999, the Shootout would encompass a women’s tournament in addition to the traditional eight-team men’s event. And so it is that this year’s women’s Shootout field of host Alaska Anchorage, Bradley, Cleveland State and Santa Clara will carry on the tradition of the Northern Lights Invitational – 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 four-team, 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. Beginning at the thennamed UAA Sports Center in 1980, it moved to the Sullivan Arena in 1983 and then back to Sports Center in 1986. Organizers are thrilled that the women’s Shootout has found a permanent home back under the bright lights of Anchorage’s premier sports facility. 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, Kansas, Iowa, Purdue, Old Domi nion, Oregon, Texas, Penn State, Louisiana Tech, North Carolina, Southern California, Stanford and Stephen F. Austin.

5Host Alaska Anchorage made history in 2006 with its record third Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout title. UAA beat Air Force in the first round and topped UC Riverside 72-65 in the championship game.

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 basketball 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 three times (1990, 2003 and 2006).

ALASKA ANCHORAGE SEAWOLVES ketball team takes the court in 2007-08, it will be doing so with an unfamiliar bull’s-eye on its back. Last year the Seawolves were the surprise team of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, producing one of the biggest turnarounds in the country to finish with a 23-6 record, a league runner-up finish, and its first NCAA Tournament victory in seven seasons. Now many feel UAA is the team to beat, as evidenced by a pair of preseason rankings – No. 9 by Division II Bulletin and No. 14 in the USA Today/ESPN coaches’ poll. The Seawolves will be a veteran squad, featuring four seniors and a 12-woman recruiting class comprised mainly of junior-college transfers. And that doesn’t even take into account the return of junior center Rebecca Kielpinski, last year’s GNAC Player of the Year. Kielpinski is coming off averages of 14.5 points, 2.2 blocks and a GNAC-best 10.8 rebounds in 2006-07. The Mandan, N.D., native earned the Most Outstanding Player award at the 2006 Shootout as she led the Seawolves to the title, and she was named UAA Athlete of the Year come April. With Kielpinski still in the fold and the addition of junior-college All-American Dasha Basova down low, the Seawolves should sport one of the top frontcourts in the Div. II ranks. Heavily recruited by several Div. I teams, the 6-3 Basova was the Region IX Player of the Year at Northeastern (Colo.) JC, posting averages of 17.5 points and 10.5 rebounds. Second-year coach Tim Moser will have plenty of options at the forward position as well, led by a trio of gritty transfers in Ashley Thompson, Lillie Parks and Ruby Williams. All three come from highly successful JC programs, including Williams, who played on Central Arizona’s NJCAA national runner-up in 2006-07. Former South Anchorage High standout Jess Merkley will provide depth on the interior after redshirting last year.

DID YOU KNOW?

5UAA’s 23 wins last year were the second-most in the women’s program’s 30-year history, behind only the 24-5 record of the 1987-88 squad.

5UAA has been an innovator in distance education, providing web-based classes for the thousands of farreaching communities in the country’s largest state.

Bridging the gap from frontcourt to backcourt are UAA’s two returning senior starters, Maria Nilsson and Jennifer Salazar. Although listed as a forward, Nilsson brings a dead-eye shooting touch from the outside. The 6-foot Swede hit 36 percent of her threepointers as a junior and had a pair of games with seven or more treys. Meanwhile, Salazar showed the ability to play multiple positions – including point guard late in the season – and hit big shots at crucial times. In the backcourt, Elisha Harris and Kalhie Quinones will provide a major influx of talent. Quinones starred for Moser at Otero JC and then played a season at Division I Utah State in 2004-05. A tough-minded slasher, she can score from the perimeter or get to the free throw line. Harris, meanwhile, can play either guard position and will be relied upon to show the talent that earned her All-Region 18 honors at College of Eastern Utah last year. Junior Limor Pelleg returns to the lineup after suffering an ACL injury that ended her

BRADLEY BRAVES juniors and seniors, there are a lot of questions surrounding the Bradley Braves heading into the 2007-08 season. The Braves lost a group of seniors that combined to start 294 games, score nearly 3,500 points, pull down over 1,500 rebounds and dish out 750 assists during their careers. All told, eighth-year head coach Paula Buscher and the Braves return just one of the top five scorers from last year’s team and just under 35 percent of the scoring from 2006-07. Buscher welcomes a wealth of talent for 2007-08, however, and will look to blend several newcomers in with a returning cast of players that includes four seniors, one junior and two sophomores. Leading the way for the Braves will be returning starters Devyn Flanagan and Kelly Krumwiede. The duo is the only two players on the roster with more than one year of experience in a BU uniform and will provide much-needed leadership for the team. A high-scoring guard, Flanagan has tallied more than 300 points each of the last two seasons and is the Braves’ top returning scorer after averaging 10.6 points as a junior. She is also arguably the team’s top scoring threat on the outside after making more than 33 three-pointers each of the last two years. A junior forward, Krumwiede is also coming off a big year, leading the team in rebounding as a sophomore with a 6.2 boards per game. She also threw in 7.4 points per game and led the team in field goal percentage at .467. Of the six new faces on the roster, Buscher is expecting junior transfer Monica Rogers to have the biggest impact. A transfer from Hampton, she averaged 10.8 points and 8.2 rebounds as a sophomore, ranking as the Pirates’ leading rebounder that season. She led the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference with nine double-doubles in 2005-06. Not all of the additions to the roster are new faces, however. Sophomore guard

DID YOU KNOW? 5BU has been a part of the Missouri Valley Conference for 55 years, but The Valley has only sponsored women’s basketball since 1992-93. The Braves competed in the Gateway Conference from 1983-92. 5Bradley founder Lydia Moss Bradley was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, N.Y., in 1998. She joined more than 135 other women who have made lasting contributions in a variety of fields.

Skye Johnson rejoins the team after sitting out 2006-07 with an injury. Johnson showed glimpses of her ability as a true freshman in 2005-06, scoring 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting in the Braves’ overtime victory against Valparaiso. The backcourt is where the Braves likely have their most depth and experience. Sharing the duties at point guard with Johnson will be senior Rachel Merriman. A junior college All-American at Illinois Central, Merriman ranked third on last year’s Braves squad in assists with 68 and was one of two players to have more assists than turnovers. Also returning is senior guard Felicia Nekmouche, who will challenge for playing time at the off-guard position. Sophomore Renee Frericks will also see more playing time this season. Adding to the backcourt depth is junior guard Aseer Itiavkase, who had a tryout with the Nigerian National Team this past May,

Robyn Hoying is the most experienced of the quartet, playing all 30 games last season off the bench. She is one of the top lowblock defenders and will be counted on for an increased offensive role this season.

A year after struggling to find ways to consistently win games, the 2007-08 Cleveland State women’s basketball team hopes to use the lessons learned from last season to work its way up the Horizon League standings. The Vikings return four starters, including last year’s Horizon Newcomer of the Year Kailey Klein, and 10 letterwinners from a squad that went 8-22 and tied for sixth place in the league standings at 5-11. However, of the 22 losses, 10 were by 10 points or less, including six losses by five points or fewer. That is a good sign for fifth-year head coach Kate Peterson Abiad as seven of her top 11 players from last season were first- or second-year players. This year’s backcourt could be one of the most potent since Peterson Abiad arrived at CSU, as there are four players who are capable combo guards. Senior Brittany Korth, sophomore twin sisters Angel and Jessica Roque and freshman Shawnita Garland will rotate a majority of the minutes in the backcourt. Korth has an uncanny ability to find open teammates in scoring positions as evidenced by her 222 career assists, which are 55 shy of moving into 10th place on the alltime list at CSU. Angel Roque is the truest point guard on the roster and will run the show 99 percent of the time. Last season, she tied Korth for the team lead with 75 assists, but did so playing 165 fewer minutes. She did not assume a starting role until the 20th game. Meanwhile, her twin sister Jessica will see a majority of her minutes at off-guard as she is one of the top shooters on the squad, hitting 30 percent of her three-point attempts as a freshman. She finished second on the team in scoring at 8.2 points per game. The wild card in the backcourt is the newcomer Garland, who will make things happen with her quickness and speed.

SANTA CLARA BRONCOS winning the 2005-06 West Coast Conference regular-season title, the Santa Clara Broncos began last season with high hopes of repeating that success. However, injuries and the toughness of the schedule limited the Broncos to a 13-17 overall record in 2006-07 and a 5-9 WCC mark. Yet, through the ups and downs, wins and losses, the Broncos shattered league records and found themselves on top of the national rankings in three-point field goals. This season the Broncos look to eliminate the lows, play hard, strive for consistency in all aspects of the game, and develop the mental and physical toughness to make their way back to the NCAA Tournament. Stepping back on the court this season are three seniors whose experience and consistency will be look upon to lead the young Santa Clara roster. Senior guards Chandice Cronk and Tracey Walker, along with forward Jen Gottschalk, will play their final season on the Mission Campus. Walker will make the biggest move this season as she will serve as the team’s point guard. Last season, Cronk set a new single-season record for both Santa Clara and the West Coast Conference with 94 three-point field goals made. Cronk, an all-conference honoree, also finished the year nationally ranked third in threes made. Gottschalk also garnered conference honors last season, receiving an honorable mention nod as she led the conference in field-goal percentage. She also finished first on the team in rebounds and steals. Meanwhile, Walker finished second on the team and ninth in the conference in assists. SCU also welcomes back juniors Elizabeth Doran, Claire Goins and Sara Majors. Last season Doran saw action in 15 games, starting in two of them. She compiled a .750 percentage from the charity stripe and posted 24 rebounds and 15 steals. Goins registered a .361 field-goal percentage in 24 contests, while Majors saw her first action in over two years on Feb. 18 at San Francisco.

The sophomore class will look for more time on the court this season. Kimee Goeggel returns from a redshirt season and will join Gottschalk, Goins and freshman Becky Goll in the post.

2007 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout

41 41

MEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY Carrs/Safeway 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 top-flight 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 championship.

5Lamar’s B.B. Davis (right) and Alaska Anchorage’s Bo Jackson square off for the opening tip of the first Shootout game, Nov. 24, 1978, as UAA’s Tony Turner looks on.

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. Most important, however, 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, this 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 is 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

MEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY GoSeawolves.com

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 and a classy new home. 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 Great Alaska Shootout was granted the exemption it needed to continue as the premier in-season basketball tournament in the nation. In 1994 the event became the Carrs Great Alaska Shootout when Carr Gottstein Food, Inc., became the title sponsor of the event. With the purchase of Carrs by Safeway in 1999, the event is known today as the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. All told, 26 NCAA champions have taken part in the Shootout. The defending national champion has take part in the tournament five times, most recently Kentucky 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 – not bad timing for contracts that are often issued years in advance. In recent years the Shootout has served as a springboard to success for Final Four teams as well. 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, while Duke, the 1998 Shootout runner-up team featuring Anchorage’s own Trajan Langdon, began its run to the 1999 Final Four here in Anchorage. In 1997-98 North Carolina began its trek to the Final Four at the Shootout as did Kentucky in 1996-97 and Duke in 2003-04. 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 went on to win their leagues, while Washington earned a No. 1 seed for March Madness.

5With collegiate hoops legends such as Syracuse’s Rony Seikaly (above left) and Derrick Coleman (above right), Arizona’s Sean Elliott (above right) and Michigan’s Glen Rice (left), the 1987 Shootout featured one of the most star-studded and power-packed lineups in the tourney’s fabled history. Led by Elliott, Steve Kerr and Tom Tolbert, the Wildcats topped Sherman Douglas and the Orangemen 80-69 in that year’s title matchup.

Of the 68 NCAA champions through 2007, only seven – Wisconsin, Holy Cross, CCNY, LaSalle, San Francisco, Loyola (Ill.) and Texas-El Paso (formerly Texas Western) – have not played in the Shootout at one time or another. The streak of consecutive NCAA champions that have played in the Shootout reached 41 straight with Florida’s win last March. 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

2007 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout

another staffed the event. Televised from its inception on a regional basis, the Shootout went live nationwide via the ESPN cable television network beginning in 1985 – a mutually beneficial relationship that continues today. In fact, it is safe to say that the tournament has generated more exposure for Alaska than any other single venture in the state’s history. Indeed, the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout is no secret anymore, but rather an event eagerly awaited annually by millions of basketball fans.

Duke’s run to the 2004 NCAA Tournament semifinals made it 12 teams that have played in the Shootout and advanced to the Final 4 that same season:

4 Five schools have begun defense of their NCAA title at the Shootout – North Carolina State (1983), Villanova (1985), Louisville (1986), Kansas (1988) and Kentucky (1996). In total, 10 teams have played in the Shootout on the heels of a Final 4 appearance the previous spring, including when NCAA finalists Kentucky and Syracuse met in the first round in 1996. 4 The 2003 Final 4 featured teams that had all made Shootout appearances within the previous four seasons – Kansas (1999 champion), Syracuse (2000 champion), Marquette (2001 champion) and Texas (2001 5th place). 4 In 29 years, 112 Shootout teams have qualified for the ensuing NCAA Tournament, meaning that on average half of the field makes the Big Dance. The 1985 Shootout produced a record seven NCAA qualifiers, while 1991 and 2006 were the only years that just one team (champion UMass in ‘91-92 and UAA in ‘06-07) made it to March Madness.

SEAWOLF GIANT KILLERS

Although classified as an NCAA Division II basketball program, the 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 three to five 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. That season, the Wolverines won the NCAA title. The Seawolves annually play more Division I teams than any other program in Division II. Last season, UAA played South Carolina, Southern Illinois, and Southern Cal. Following is a list of the 39 Division I programs that have fallen victim to the Seawolves: Texas State Pacific Jackson State Auburn Texas Tech Penn State Lafayette California Washington Rhode Island Maine Canisius Wake Forest Samford Miami (Fla.) Dayton Weber State San Francisco Michigan Drexel Western Michigan Santa Clara Missouri Eastern Kentucky William & Mary Missouri-Kansas City Southern Illinois Grambling State Southern Methodist Montana High Point Tennessee New Mexico Houston Texas Nicholls State Idaho TCU Notre Dame Iona 4 Peter Bullock, the Shootout’s all-time scoring and rebound-

a new level at the end of last season, averaging nearly seven points and five rebounds over the final seven games. Osborne also expects big things from a pair of players – local guards Doug Hardy and Lonnie Ridgeway – who redshirted last season. Hardy, a former two-time Class 4A state champ at Bartlett High, makes his Seawolf debut after playing a pair of seasons at D-I Idaho State. Ridgeway was likewise a twotime state champ in high school, at the 3A level, and should be one of the most athletic wing players in the GNAC for years to come. Another D-I transfer, Metlakatla native Chris Bryant returns to his home state for his senior season after playing three years at Drake. Bryant showed his abilities in the rugged Missouri Valley Conference by scoring in double digits 25 times and knocking down 120 treys in his time with the Bulldogs. Another sizeable guard, 6-4 Aussie Kevin White, brings more depth and talent to the Seawolf perimeter after redshirting his true freshman season at San Diego Christian.

Rusty Osborne’s 4-year plan seems to be working so far. When the longtime Alaska Anchorage assistant ascended to the head job in 2004, he based his first recruiting class around a pair of untested freshmen who he hoped would blossom into the future of the program. Now those freshmen – point guard Luke Cooper and forward Carl Arts – are seasoned veterans who both have a shot at AllAmerica honors in 2007-08. Moreover, the Seawolves are coming off back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, and Cooper and Arts will be charged with leading a team that is ranked in the top 20 in several preseason polls and picked to win the Great Northwest Athletic Conference by the league’s coaches. In three seasons, the cat-quick Cooper has rewritten the Seawolf record book for assists, breaking the single-game (16), season (230) and career marks (570) last year. At 8.2 assists per game, the Australian ranked second in NCAA Div. II in the category, while improving his scoring average to 7.3 ppg. Cooper was recognized as a preseason ‘Super 16’ All-American by Div. II Bulletin, as well as an honorable mention All-American by The Sporting News. Arts, a 6-6 forward who can score from inside or the perimeter, also made The Sporting News honorable mention list, thanks to his team-high averages of 15.5 points and 6.9 rebounds. A deadly shooter, the Valdez native is among UAA’s career top 5 in both three-point (.470) and free throw (.860) percentages, and ranks ninth in overall shooting (.534). The Seawolves return two other letterwinners from their 19-9 squad in senior power forward McCade Olsen and junior small forward Cameron Burney. Olsen led the GNAC with 59.8 percent shooting last year, thriving in his role as UAA’s top reserve. The former junior college transfer was the team’s third-leading scorer (11.1 ppg) and second-leading rebounder (4.3 rpg) in his first year, despite playing just over 20 minutes per contest. Meanwhile, Burney pushed his game to

The junior transfer comes north after helping the Hawks to consecutive NAIA national tournament appearances and gaining international experience as a member of the New Zealand National Team. Ohio native Colin Voreis and South Dakotan Kyle Doerr could play important reserve minutes in the post, while fellow true freshman Phillip Hearn will fight for time at the swingman position.

BUTLER BULLDOGS QUICK FACTS

Butler basketball was transformed from the forgotten to the formidable. The Bulldogs were picked to finish sixth in the nine-team Horizon League preseason poll (one voter picked Butler last), and that sentiment pretty much mirrored the evaluation in most of the preseason publications. That’s why there was considerable “head-scratching” in the college hoops world when the Bulldogs stood at center court at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 24 and collected the NIT Season Tip-Off Championship trophy. The moment capped a run that saw Butler post consecutive victories over Notre Dame, Indiana, Tennessee and Gonzaga. Butler went on to post a school- and Horizon League-record 29-7 campaign, a cochampionship in the Horizon League regular season and a trip to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Along the way, the Bulldogs were ranked in the top 25 for a school- and league-record 16 consecutive weeks. And although he losses two starters to graduation, new head coach Brad Stevens won’t have a shortage of talent in 2007-08. The Bulldogs return five of their top six scorers, including All-Horizon League guards A. J. Graves and Mike Green. Graves emerged as one of the premier backcourt players in the nation in 2006-07. The 6-1 guard led the Bulldogs in scoring with a 16.9 average, while posting the fourth-highest single-season point total (591) ever by a Butler junior. He earned honorable mention All-America honors and was named a first team Academic All-American. He was selected MVP of the NIT Season Tip-Off, earned first team All-League and All-District 10 honors and became the 31st player in Butler history to reach 1,000 points in his career. Green, a transfer from Towson, was named Horizon League Newcomer of the Year after leading the Bulldogs in assists (4.0) and rebounds (6.0) and finishing second on the squad in scoring (13.9). He became the first player in Butler history to record over

400 points, 200 rebounds and 100 assists in the same season. The two stellar guards will be joined by 6-5 returning starter Julian Betko, who was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA. Betko tied a Butler single-season record by starting all 36 games a year ago and was the team’s fifth-leading scorer (4.3). Rounding out Butler’s strong and deep senior class are 6-7 Pete Campbell and 67 Drew Streicher. Campbell wound up as Butler’s fourth-leading scorer (9.1) and was named to the Horizon’s All-Newcomer Team. He led the league in three-point shooting with a record .519 mark, and was second in threes per game (2.31). Streicher, tied Betko with games played (36), emerged as one of Butler’s top defenders. He led BU in blocked shots (0.4) and field goal shooting (.644).

EASTERN WASHINGTON EAGLES three short years ago in 2004, the Eastern Washington program was basking in the glow of playing in its first-ever NCAA Tournament. Now, it’s the job of new Eastern head coach Kirk Earlywine to return the Eagles to prominence after three EWU seasons that yielded a collective record of 38-49. Earlywine has added 10 new players to three returning letterwinners and a returning redshirt. The returning players include senior 6-4 forward Kellen Williams, the lone returning starter, who averaged 8.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in 2006-07. He is a 2003 graduate of Franklin High School in Seattle, and played one year at Highline Community College in the Seattle area. The other two players returning made their Eagle debuts last season. Sophomore center Brandon Moore came off the bench in 26 of the 27 games he played. The 2005 graduate of Bethel High School averaged 5.9 points and 3.6 rebounds while making 59.8 percent of his shots from the field. Eastern’s biggest player at 6-9, 240 pounds, he was selected as the team’s most inspirational player. Marcus Hinton started nine of 25 games and was named the team’s most improved player. The 6-3 guard finished the season with 33 points in his last two games, including 24 and the game-winning shot in an 8279 win over Idaho State on Feb. 22. A graduate of Tacoma’s Wilson High School, Hinton finished with a 6.0 scoring average and made 14 of 25 three-point attempts. The three returning players helped Eastern average 84.2 points per game in the 2006-07 season to rank third in NCAA Division I. However, the Eagles allowed 82.6 per game, giving Earlywine an early focus on defensive improvement. Toward that goal, he will call upon his past experiences working under Rick Majerus at Ball State and Utah. The rest of the team will consist of newcomers, including 2006-07 redshirt Jack Loofburrow. The 6-6 forward is a shooting threat from the outside, but he missed valuable practice time last season with a broken left foot suffered in preseason practices.

Eastern’s newcomers include a pair of cat-quick guards in 5-11 Adris DeLeon and 61 Gary Gibson. DeLeon averaged 8.4 points, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals as a sophomore at the College of Southern Idaho to help the Golden Eagles to a 30-7 record and the semifinals of the NJCAA National Tournament. Gibson played one season at Miami-Dade Junior College and is formerly from Windsor, Ontario. He averaged 6.1 points, 2.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 steals to help his team to a 21-7 record and league championship.

DID YOU KNOW? 5John Stockton, the NBA’s alltime assists and steals leader, starred for his hometown Bulldogs from 1980-84. 5Gonzaga is named after a young 16th century Italian Jesuit, Aloysius Gonzaga, who died in Rome trying to save young people from the plague. He was later named the patron saint of youth.

February and March to help lead Gonzaga on its journey back to the NCAAs. With Heytvelt reinstated to the program this fall, and the aforementioned strong cast returning, the Zags are once again the preseason WCC favorite. Bouldin was selected to compete in the USA Basketball U19 World Championship Team Trials in late June and eventually made the team. As a college rookie, he averaged 8.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists to earn WCC All-Freshman Team honors. Will Foster, a 7-4 sophomore, played in some key situations late last season and should see an increased role this year. Another returnee who saw limited minutes year ago is Andrew Sorenson, a 6-2 junior guard who played in nine games. Two other players who didn’t see action last year also figure in the Bulldogs’ plans. Larry Gurganious, a 6-5 sophomore forward, redshirted last season with a bad back. He played in 31 games as a freshman. Theo Davis, a 6-9 freshman forward,

Ten straight – that’s the goal for Gonzaga this season as the Bulldogs seek their 10th straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. Coming off what many prognosticators thought would be a down year, all the Bulldogs did was win a seventh straight West Coast Conference regular-season title, claim their eighth WCC Tournament crown in the last nine years and make a ninth straight trip to the NCAAs. The Bulldogs did it in true team fashion, having to regroup and refocus after 6-11 center Josh Heytvelt was suspended indefinitely on Feb. 10 for violation of team policy. Averaging 15.5 ppg and a team-leading 7.7 rpg at the time of his suspension, Heytvelt would miss the final nine games of the regular and postseason. But a host of unlikely stars rallied the Bulldogs behind 2007 seniors Derek Raivio and Sean Mallon. Then-sophomore Jeremy Pargo picked up his game a notch and returns for his junior season to inherit the point guard position full time for the graduated Raivio. Pargo finished with averages of 12.1 points and 4.6 assists to earn All-WCC first-team honors. David Pendergraft made the most of his new-found role in becoming a leader, earning All-WCC Tournament accolades. He is now back for his senior season and is, along with Pargo, one of the team captains. Micah Downs, the transfer from Kansas who had to sit out the first semester under NCAA transfer rules and then saw his debut delayed by injury, hit some big shots down the stretch for the Bulldogs and should have added confidence in 2007-08. Abdullahi Kuso, the fan favorite who transferred across country from Tallahassee Community College, played a more imposing role down the stretch to help pick up the slack left by Heytvelt’s absence in the middle. And true freshman Matt Bouldin – who at one point in midseason missed 17 straight three-pointers – found his shooting touch in

MICHIGAN WOLVERINES making the postseason National Invitation Tournament NIT three out of the past four seasons – including a 2004 NIT Championship and just 10 points away from another title in 2006 – the winds of change swept through the Michigan basketball team this off-season, bringing hope and energy to a once-proud program. Enter new head coach John Beilein, who makes the transition to U-M after enjoying a pair of NCAA Sweet 16 appearances and one Elite 8 trip with the West Virginia Mountaineers. Beilein has garnered a national reputation as a basketball intellect and solid program builder, taking West Virginia (as well as Canisius and Richmond) to the NCAA Tournament. He is the only active coach in the collegiate ranks to record a 20-win season at four different levels – junior college, NAIA, NCAA Division II and Division I. Beilein’s scheme is a motion attack with a heavy emphasis on three-point shooting, while focusing on the players’ strengths instead of forcing them into uncomfortable situations. Improvement, he says, is necessary: “The expectation is that we’ll get better everyday. It will never be quick enough for me or anybody else, but it will be something that is a constant.” Beilein inherits a team that has nine players with three or more years of eligibility remaining and only one true senior scholarship player in forward Ron Coleman. “This can be good news because the team is so young that they are still fresh when starting over again,” said Beilein. “I think if I had the preference to be starting over young in year one as opposed to a senior-laden team in year two, I’d rather have this.” Coleman, however, will have to take up the brunt of the veteran leadership, as the Wolverines lost their top four scorers from last year. A solid spot-up shooter, Coleman has worked hard on his all-around game. Junior point guard Jerret Smith will

have to improve from last year’s 3.4 assist average in Beilein’s offense, finding open shooters like Coleman and sophomore forward DeShawn Sims, who could prove to be a special player with his combined size and long-range shooting ability. Defensively, the Wolverines will have to rely on sophomore forward Ekpe Udoh, who will have to continue to be an intimidating force after blocking 67 shots as a freshman, especially if U-M is slow in its transition into the Beilein offense.

TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS QUICK FACTS

Bob Knight Head Coach

Martin Zeno Senior guard

DID YOU KNOW? 5Former Red Raider star Andre Emmett is the only player in Big 12 history to earn first-team allconference honors three times (2002, 2003, 2004). 5The hand sign of Texas Tech is the ‘Guns Up,’ made by pointing the index finger outward while extending the thumb upward and tucking in the middle, fourth and pinky fingers to form a gun. The idea is that the Red Raiders will shoot down their opponents. ‘Guns Up’ is the widely recognized greeting of one Red Raider to another.

cal reasons, Rogdrick Craig joins another Red Raiders in uniform this season, as does Trevor Cook, who sat out last season as a transfer from Texas State. John Roberson, ranked as the No. 6 player in Texas by Rivals.com, played for Tom Inman at Plano High School. The Wildcats were 55-16 in his two seasons and defeated Kingwood for the 2006 Class 5A State Championship. D’walyn Roberts, tabbed as the No. 11 player in Texas by Rivals.com, played at Duncanville High School, where the Panthers were 39-0 in his senior year and defeated Kingwood for the 2007 Class 5A title. Mike Singletary, Rivals’ No. 5 player in Texas at Kingwood High School, helped his Mustangs become the first Class 5A team to reach three consecutive state championship games. KHS won the state title in his sophomore season (2005).

The 2007-08 version of Texas Tech features eight returnees and six new faces in uniform as the Red Raiders try to reach the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season. Texas Tech returns its second- and thirdleading scorers in seniors Martin Zeno (16.6 ppg) and Charlie Burgess (9.0 ppg) as well as seniors Esmir Rizvic and Tyler Hoffmeister of ESPN’s ‘Knight School’ fame. The 2006-07 Red Raiders were 21-13 and were the 13th Texas Tech squad to top the 20-win mark. It was also the 13th Tech squad to make the NCAA Tournament. At the helm of the Red Raider program, Bob Knight became the NCAA’s all-time winningest coach, passing Dean Smith’s 879 career wins on January 1, 2007, with a 70-68 win over New Mexico. Coach Knight’s teams have won 126 games in six seasons, have five seasons of winning more than 20 games, and have played in four NCAA Tournaments. Zeno led the squad with 109 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game, while Burgess was second on the team with 81 assists and 4.0 rebounds per contest. With Zeno, the Red Raiders have a dependable guard to run Knight’s disciplined style. The ninth-leading scorer in the Big 12 Conference, Zeno has started 90 of 99 games in his three years in Lubbock. Last year he led Texas Tech in rebounding (5.3 rpg), fieldgoal percentage (.495), free throw percentage (.791) and assists (109), prompting him to be named one of 50 preseason nominees for the John Wooden Award. The three returning juniors are Alan Voskuil (4.2 ppg), Michael Prince (1.8 ppg), and Damir Suljagic (1.5 ppg). Sophomore Decensae White averaged 4.5 ppg and played in thirty games with two starts last season.

VIRGINIA TECH HOKIES QUICK FACTS

Seth Greenberg Head Coach

A.D. Vassallo Junior guard/forward

DID YOU KNOW? 5Virginia Tech’s two postseason NIT titles came in strikingly similar fashion, winning both times in overtime and by one point. In 1973, the Hokies beat Notre Dame on a buzzer-beating jumper, and in 1995 they topped Marquette on two free throws with 0.7 seconds left. 5Tech’s nickname dates to 1896 when senior O.M. Stull won first prize in a contest for his “Hokie” yell, which is still used today. Stull explained the word was solely the product of his imagination and was used only as an attention-getter for his yell.

season, the point guard spot will be manned by a true freshman. Hank Thorns, a quick, competitive player with tremendous leadership skills, will be the primary ball-handler. He has a knack for making other players better and is a point who can score, but looks to pass first. Delaney is a more deliberate point guard, but he brings keen court awareness and an unlimited shooting range. Head coach Seth Greenberg and staff have a number of options at power forward, all with different strengths, and all with limited experience. Lewis Witcher started 20 games last season as a freshman and showed flashes of his bright future. The signee that most experts have been talking about is Allen. Allen signed with the Hokies out of Oak Hill (N.C.) Academy two years ago, before prepping a year a Hargrave. Powerful, smart and instinctive, Allen has an innate ability to score and should be an immediate force in the low post. Redshirt sophomore Terrance Vinson has been in the program for two years, but

The nature of intercollegiate athletics is cyclical. Student-athletes have four years of eligibility and then they are off into the “real world.” No school is immune to this fact. For the Virginia Tech Hokies in the 2007-08 season, the time for renewal has arrived. Gone is the luxury of last season, with five seniors and a wealth of experience – a group that led the Hokies to their first NCAA appearance and victory in 11 years. This season, the Hokies will need to replace the experience with talent. Youthful talent, but talent nonetheless. And in a league as consistently outstanding as the Atlantic Coast Conference, hard work will be needed for this youthful group to be a competitive unit. All successful programs need a solid foundation and the Hokies have that in senior Deron Washington. Perhaps no player in the ACC has played as many meaningful minutes in his career than Washington. The perfect complimentary player during his first three years in Blacksburg, Washington is primed for a breakout senior campaign. Most consider Washington as the most athletic and explosive player in the league. What may be failed to recognize through all the high-energy, high-flying action is that Washington has also worked extremely hard to better his all-around game. Joining Washington on the wing is fellow returning starter and offensive threat A.D. Vassallo. Much like Washington, Vassallo has worked hard over the last couple of seasons to make himself into a better all-around player. The Hokies’ top two returning scorers look to continue in that role again this season. Along with Washington and Vassallo, the Hokies boast a very deep, talented and youthful group on the wings. Freshmen Malcolm Delaney, Terrell Bell and J.T. Thompson all have the potential to see time at the shooting guard and small forward spots. Bell is a quick, long, hardworking player who has the potential to be a shutdown defender in the ACC. Senior Marcus Travis, a former walk-on who has earned a scholarship for his final season, will also be in the mix. With the personnel losses from last

WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS has helped the Hilltoppers accomplish a lot on the court the last three seasons. In that time, the program has recorded 67 victories, a 70.5 winning percentage, two National Invitation Tournament appearances, one Sun Belt Conference East Division title and a berth in the league tournament championship game. One thing that is missing from that sterling résumé is an NCAA Tournament game. Led by All-America candidate Courtney Lee, the sextet hopes to add that final piece of the puzzle this winter. A two-time first-team all-Sun Belt Conference selection, Lee is coming off a season in which he averaged 17.3 points and 4.6 rebounds despite suffering a midseason ankle injury that caused him to miss three games and hampered him after New Year’s Day. In addition, the 6-5 swingman posted 57 assists, 45 steals and 23 blocks while ranking among the top 15 in the conference in field goal, three-point and free-throw percentages. He is one of only 12 players in school history to score 1,500 points. While his honors over the last three years draw much of the attention, Lee will have plenty of help from fellow seniors in their quest to lead the Hilltoppers to March Madness. Tyrone Brazelton averaged 12.8 points and was among the best point guards in the league, handing out a team-leading 131 assists. The 6-0, 180-pound junior-college also showed an uncanny ability to get to the free-throw line, making 170 trips. Ty Rogers, a threat from three-point range (team-best 65 treys in 2006-07) is also a returning starter in the backcourt. The 6-3 guard enters his final campaign ninth on ‘The Hill’ with 147 career treys. Boris Siakam and Mike Walker add depth in the post, and Adam Howard rounds out the senior class. Siakam recorded careerhigh averages of 4.5 points and 3.2 rebounds after working his way into the frontcourt rotation, and shot 74.6 percent from the floor.

SEAWOLF ATHLETICS

When it comes to success stories, the Carrs/Safeway 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 11 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 track & field, women’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s outdoor track & field – all compete under the Division II banner. The Seawolf hockey team plays in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, widely considered the sport’s premier conference, having produced 36 NCAA champions in the last 55 years. While the Seawolves are now in their 15th WCHA campaign, they previously enjoyed great success as an independent, making three straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 1990 through 1992. The hockey team’s signature event is the Nye Frontier Classic, a four-team tournament held every October. Last season UAA captured the Classic title and wrested the Alaska Airlines Governor’s Cup away from arch-rival Alaska Fairbanks with a 3-0-1 record in the bitterly fought series. The gymnastics program has made giant strides the past few seasons after moving to Division I and joining the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation in 2003. Over the last four seasons, the Seawolves have broken 23 school records as the team’s talent level has risen consistently. UAA returns a strong core in 2008, including 2006 MPSF Gymnast of the Year and local product Jessica Portlock. Coach Michael Friess leads the Seawolf men’s and women’s cross country running teams into action each fall, with both squads annually challenging for NCAA berths. This season, UAA’s men and women finished third and fourth, respectively, at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championships as sophomore transfer Peter Doner and junior Elizabeth Chepkosgei each raced to all-conference finishes. The Seawolf men were ranked in the Div. II top 25 poll for much of the season, and junior David Kiplagat earned an individual NCAA berth with his fourth-place finish at the Nov. 3 West Regional Championships in Boise. UAA’s volleyball team, led by third-year coach Michelle Earl, draws some of the best crowds in NCAA Division II at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex. The program has enjoyed seven 20-win seasons and a pair conference titles and NCAA berths. While UAA’s skiing 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 tops among non-Division I programs, placing in the overall top 10 at the NCAA Championships for the 22 of the past 23 seasons. At the 2007 NCAA Ski Championships, UAA produced three All-America finishes with senior Kasandra Rice of Anchorage earning her second career honor, along with freshman Andy Liebner and sophomore Raphael Wunderle on the nordic trails. UAA has also twice hosted the NCAA Ski Championships (1987 and 2002) at their world-class venues – Mount Alyeska (Alpine) and Kincaid Park (Nordic). The men’s and women’s basketball teams are among the most prominent of the UAA sports teams, if for no other reasons

than the national television exposure of the Shootout. But the Seawolves have proven they can play, too. The women’s team has advanced to the NCAA Tournament seven times, while the men posted 18 consecutive winning seasons from 1983-84 to 2000-01. The Seawolf men have produced eight All-Americans, and in 1988 they were the NCAA Division II runner-up. UAA has beaten some of the country’s most prominent Division I schools over the years, including Michigan, Wake Forest, Missouri, New Mexico and Texas. While all these athletic accomplishments are quite impressive, Seawolf student-athletes have done something even more important. Over the last 14 years, the Seawolf teams have earned a composite grade point average over 3.0 11 times.

Under his leadership, a planning phase began this year (2007) for the construction of a new on-campus sports facility at UAA, while simultaneously overseeing the installation of a brand new gymnasium floor and the construction of a new All-American/Academic AllAmerican honors wall at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex. Two years ago, Dr. Cobb helped establish the Seawolf Legacy Fund to provide a permanent endowment fund that will ensure full funding for future athletic scholarships at UAA. During 2007-08, Seawolf Legacy will surpass the $1 million mark. In 2001, Dr. Cobb was the driving force behind the establishment of the Seawolf Hall of Fame. He has also been instrumental in negotiating naming-rights agreements for the Wells Fargo Sports Complex, Nye Frontier Classic hockey and Extended Stay Deluxe Invitational volleyball tournaments.

A former football coach, Dr. Cobb served as the athletic director at Georgia Southwestern State University before coming to UAA. In five years at Georgia Southwestern, Dr. Cobb raised the Hurricanes to become one of the most successful NAIA programs in the nation.
