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 Jeff Campbell (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 2015 tournament, the wheels are already in motion with the planning of the 2016 GCI Great Alaska Shootout.

ADOPT-A-UNIVERSITY PROGRAM The “Adopt-a-University” program, now in its 22nd year in 2015, matches Anchorage-area and Mat-Su high schools with Shootout teams. The local schools help the Shootout teams with supplemental practice times as well as fan support during the tournament with bands, cheerleaders and student cheering sections. The association provides an opportunity for student development and growth through involvement as student trainers and media relations assistants. Adopt-a-University also promotes positive interaction between high school students and the players and staff of their adopted university.

ALASKA AIRLINES CENTER n 2014, the GCI Great Alaska Shootout began a new era with its move to the University of Alaska Anchorage campus in the brand-new Alaska Airlines Center.

Completed at a cost of $110 million, the state’s most modern sports and entertainment venue was christened with grand-opening 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 900-seat auxilary gym and utilizes one of the top training facilities in the nation. UAA hosted the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Gymnastics Championships and the NCAA Div. II Women’s Basketball West Regional Championships in the main arena last spring.

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.

2015 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.

WOMEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY ntering its 36th 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 17th 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, George Mason, Pepperdine and Western Kentucky 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.

oming off one of the most successful seasons in program history, the Alaska Anchorage women’s basketball team has reloaded for what is certain to be another memorable campaign.

The defending Great Northwest Athletic Conference champions return seven letterwinners, including four starters, from a squad that went 29-2 overall and 17-1 in league play, earning the No. 1 ranking in NCAA Div. II for the final month of the regular season.

Toss in a pair of Div. I senior transfers, three returning redshirts and a pair of talented true freshmen, and it’s no surprise the Seawolves are a near-unanimous choice atop this year’s GNAC Preseason Coaches’ Poll.

Leading one of the most veteran lineups in recent memory, the Seawolves have a pair of All-America candidates in senior forward Megan Mullings – the GNAC Preseason Player of the Year – and junior point guard Kiki Robertson.

Among the seven seniors on the roster, 5-8 shooting guard Jenna Buchanan is one of just

two who have not had the luxury of a redshirt year, lending further to UAA’s experienced look. Entering the season with 131 career treys, Buchanan could threaten UAA’s career record of 191, along with fellow senior guard Jessica Madison, who already stands fourth with 142.

The two other seniors with experience in Green & Gold, guards Adriana Dent and Christina Davis have both shown the ability to impact games. Adding further to that deep lineup is newcomer Keiahnna Engel, who transfers back to her hometown school after three seasons at Div. I Boise State.

Megan Mullings

UAA TRIVIA • Since 2006-07, UAA leads the NCAA Div. II West Region with 215 total victories, ranking 8th among all Div. II women’s programs.

• Situated at 62 degrees north on the globe, UAA is a world leader in Arctic research and features exchange programs with Russian, Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian institutions.

MASON TRIVIA • One of two Patriots to make the highest pro level, former Mason star Jen Derevjanik (2000-04) won a WNBA championship with the Phoenix Mercury in 2007.

his season marks both head coach Nyla Milleson’s and George Mason’s third season in the Atlantic 10 Conference.

The Patriots have made strides in their time in the league, improving from only one conference victory (8-23, 1-15) in the inaugural season to a 5-11 record in year two. Mason finished 8-6 in nonconference play, the best out-of-league record for the Green and Gold since 2000-01.

The Patriots return seven letterwinners from the 2014-15 campaign that finished 13-17 overall. Milleson’s squad will gain experienced reinforcement from four transfers who become eligible following a redshirt season, as well as two newcomers to the program.

Mason will again look to Second Team All-Atlantic 10 guard Taylor Brown to lead the Patriots in her final season. Brown has continued to grow under Milleson’s instruction, leading the A-10 last year in scoring from wire-to-wire with 21.4 points per game, setting a new George Mason single-season scoring record with 643 points. Brown also set a school record as the fastest scorer to reach the 1,000 mark, doing so in just 50 games. She began this season with 1,218 career points, good for 13th all-time at Mason.

Taylor Brown Senior Guard

Senior Kristi Mokube is the returning leader in the post, having led the team with 6.0 rebounds per game last season, seeing action in all 30 contests with 18 starts. She averaged 8.5 points, including a career-high 19 points at Navy, while registering a team-high four double-doubles on the season.

Among the now-eligible transfers, Mason will get a defensive stopper in 6-6 junior center Bridget O’Donnell, who led the America East Conference with 1.6 blocks per game at Maryland-Baltimore in 2013-14, while juniors Tiffany Padgett (Loyola Maryland) and Kara Wright (Southeast Missouri State) both made the all-rookie teams in their respective leagues at their former schools.

N

ow in his third season at the helm, head coach Ryan Weisenberg and the Pepperdine women’s basketball staff look to cash in on some of their rebuilding efforts with a newlook Waves team this season.

Pepperdine has increased its win total each season under Weisenberg and now brings in a talented group of seven newcomers to help the program make another jump this year.

The Waves bring back three starters from last year’s team, including second-leading scorer Keitra Wallace, who put up 12.8 points per game as a junior last season. Former West Coast Conference All-Freshman Team honoree Allie Green (11.8 ppg) also returns for the Waves, along with sophomore Olivia Ogwumike (5.0 ppg, 3.2 rpg), who made the WCC’s AllFreshman squad last year.

Pepperdine brings in six players who earned all-state honors during their prep careers, including ESPN Top 100 recruit Erica Ogwumike, in what is the largest recruiting class during Weisenberg’s tenure.

Ryan Weisenberg Head Coach

Keitra Wallace Senior Forward

Since making a run of seven postseason appearances in eight years in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Waves have not made a national postseason tournament since 2011. Pepperdine has won one WCC tournament game since Weisenberg took the reins in 2013 and looks to improve on that this season.

Weisenberg came to Pepperdine after professional coaching stints in New Zealand and with the L.A. Sparks and Houston Comets in the WNBA. He also worked with the Los Angeles Lakers as a video coordinator from 1999-2005.

Olivia Ogwumike

PEPPERDINE TRIVIA • With nine all-time NCAA team titles in its sports history, Pepperdine owns the most of any non-football school and more than any program outside the ‘big five’ conferences.

• Noted for its picturesque oceanside location north of the city, the university’s main campus was actually located in inner-city Los Angeles until the early 1970s.

oming off a 30-win season and both a regular-season and tournament championship in its first year as a member of Conference USA, Western Kentucky is seeking even greater heights during the 2015-16 season.

WKU will feature more newcomers than returners in 2015-16, with eight new faces – five freshman, three transfers – on the team. Kendall Noble, a preseason All-Conference USA selection and the 2014-15 C-USA Defensive Player of the Year, leads the five returnees after averaging 10.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per contests last season, proving one of the most versatile players in the nation.

The Lady Toppers also bring back Micah Jones (8.7 points, 3.8 assists) and Tashia Brown (8.5 points, 3.5 rebounds), both of whom appeared in all 35 contests for WKU last season.

Despite losing its top two scorers in 201415 C-USA Player of the Year Chastity Gooch (17.2 points) and Alexis Govan (16.8) to graduation, WKU was picked third in the preseason

Conference USA coaches’ poll.

Entering coach Michelle Clark-Heard’s fourth season at the helm of her alma mater, the Lady Toppers are seeking an NCAA Tournament victory after falling just short of that goal in the last two seasons. In 2013-14, WKU put a scare into No. 2 seed Baylor before falling 87-74, while last season No. 5 seed Texas escaped 66-64 after a pair of free throws with 20 seconds remaining. An NCAA Tournament victory would be the first for WKU since knocking off Marquette 68-65 in the First Round in 2000.

WKU TRIVIA • The Lady Toppers dominated the Sun Belt Conference from 1985-95, making 11 straight NCAA Tournament appearances, including Final Four runs in 1985, 1986 and 1992.

2015 GCI Great Alaska Shootout

25

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.

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 the 2013 champs from Harvard went on to a 27-5 record, Ivy League title and an NCAA Tournament upset of Cincinnati.

2015 GCI Great Alaska Shootout

#GCIGreatAlaskaShootout  GoSeawolves.com/Shootout

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

basketball title will have made the pilgrimage north; only Wisconsin, Holy Cross, CCNY, La Salle and Texas-El Paso have not played in the Shootout at one time or another. In fact, with Duke’s 2015 coronation, the last 49 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

Idaho Iona Jackson State Lafayette Louisiana Tech Loyola Marymount Maine Miami (Fla.) Michigan Missouri Missouri-Kansas City

Montana New Mexico Nicholls State Notre Dame Pacific Penn State Rhode Island Rice Samford San Francisco Santa Clara

Southern Illinois Southern Methodist Tennessee Texas TCU Texas State Texas Tech

UC Irvine UC Riverside Washington Wake Forest Weber State Western Michigan William & Mary

UAA star Travis Thompson scored 28 points in his 12th and final Shootout game to lead UAA to a 65-54 win over Rice in 2014.

ith only four returning letterwinners from last season, the Alaska Anchorage men’s basketball team will be a new-look bunch in 2015-16.

Coming off a 16-13 record and a third-place finish (12-6) in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, head coach Rusty Osborne will rely heavily on seven junior transfers as the Seawolves seek an 11th straight winning season and a return to the NCAA Tournament.

Leading the way for the returners is UAA’s most experienced player is 5th-year senior forward Christian Leckband, who has suited up for 83 career appearances, including 28 starts. One of three former Alaska prep stars on the roster, the Nome product brings career averages of 5.9 ppg and 3.2 rpg.

Junior forward Travis Parrish was quietly one of UAA’s most efficient players in his first season after switching from football (at D-I Utah State) to the hardcourt. Parrish was one of four Seawolves to shoot .550 or better in 2014-15.

Also returning to the frontcourt is a pair of

rexel was snakebit by injuries a year ago, yet somehow managed to finish with a 9-9 record in league play. Now, coach Bruiser Flint’s team will have a veteran core returning and will be looking to once again be a factor come in the CAA come March.

The Dragons return eight players with at least a year of experience, led by senior guard Tavon Allen. Allen is the team’s top returning scorer from last season (11.2) and is a candidate for postseason honors. Ahmad Fields, a transfer from Utah, could have the inside track to take over the lone vacant starting spot.

Sammy Mojica and Rashann London each contributed right away as freshmen. Mojica was Drexel’s top player off the bench during CAA play, while London started every game as a rookie. Joining them in the backcourt will be Major Canady and Terrell Allen. Canady suffered a leg injury in the preseason and had to miss the entire year. Terrell Allen is Drexel’s only freshman. He played at DeMatha outside of Washington, D.C. and was the starting point guard on a team that was ranked in the top 20 nationally.

Bruiser Flint Head Coach

Kazembe Abif Senior Forward

Drexel’s frontcourt is by far its most seasoned position. Kazembe Abif, who graduated this summer, is back for his fifth season after missing last year due to an ACL injury. Abif averaged 7.2 points and 6.6 rebounds in 2013-14.

The Dragons return both starters up front in juniors Rodney Williams and Mohamed Bah. Williams averaged 8.2 points and 7.0 rebounds to go with 34 blocks in only 22 games, while Bah played in all 30 games as a sophomore and contributed 3.9 points and 4.6 rebounds.

The Dragons also return sophomores Tyshawn Myles and Austin Williams up front.

They combined to play in 47 games last year.

n the heels of the program’s most successful season since the mid1980s, Loyola is primed to carry that momentum into the 2015-16 season. The Ramblers return four starters and eight of their top nine scorers from last year’s team that won 24 games and capped the season by sweeping Louisiana-Monroe to win the College Basketball Invitational in their first postseason appearance since 1985.

Heading a balanced and talented group is junior Milton Doyle, a dynamic, play-making guard who is back to full health after missing 12 games last year with a foot injury. The Ramblers were 19-6 with him in the lineup, with four of those losses coming against ranked foes. Doyle is far from the team’s only weapon, being joined by seniors Earl Peterson and Devon Turk in one of the Missouri Valley’s most explosive backcourts.

Peterson capped off a terrific rookie season by being named MVP of the CBI, while Turk, with a full season left, is already Loyola’s all-time leader in three-point field goals.

major role in Loyola’s postseason run, and senior Jeff White are joined by newcomer Tyson Smith in a deep and talented pool of guards.

While Loyola must find a way to replace the production and toughness of Christian Thomas, the return of Montel James gives the Ramblers a proven scoring option in the paint. He finished second on the team in rebounding and third in scoring last season. Versatile Donte Ingram will be looked upon to build on a terrific freshman campaign in which he saw action in all 37 games while Jay Knuth and Julius Rajala also return.

Loyola also welcomes a pair of newcomers to the frontcourt group in Maurice Kirby and Pernell Adgei.

• The Ramblers won the 1963 NCAA title with one of the most dramatic finishes ever, getting a tip-in from Vic Rouse at the overtime buzzer to defeat Cincinnati, 60-58.

fter 13 seasons as head coach of the Middle Tennessee men’s basketball team, Kermit Davis has found the necessary variables for a winning formula. Davis has won 251 games during his tenure and is the only MT coach in school history to have over 200.

Davis and the Blue Raiders have been their bests as of late, and have amassed a 98-39 record during the last four seasons heading into 2015-16. Middle Tennessee also made it just one game shy of the “Big Dance” last season, falling in the C-USA championship game. The club still earned a berth in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament – its third postseason appearance in four years.

This current crop of Blue Raiders will look to continue and improve upon its recent success. MT welcomes back nine players from last year’s squad, including junior forward Reggie Upshaw, who was named to the 2015-16 C-USA Preseason All-Conference Team. As a sophomore, Upshaw led the team in scoring (9.9 ppg),

Also in the fold is senior wing Perrin Buford, who found his footing in the second half of his first year at MT in 2014-15. From Feb. 5 onward, Buford played over 24 minutes per game and his 160 points were tops on the team.

The Decatur, Ala. product was also named to the C-USA All-Tournament Team after averaging 13 points and 4.3 rebounds in MT’s three games.

Upshaw and Buford will look to help the Blue Raiders weather a stout schedule that features contests against 10 teams that are coming off postseason appearances.

nother season, another chance to reload and take aim at the Big South Conference for UNC Asheville and head coach Nick McDevitt. The Bulldogs will enter 2015-16 with nine of their 15 players either freshmen or sophomores, something the thirdyear head coach is no stranger to.

The Bulldogs will look to see who steps up after six players from the top 11 in minutes played last year, and five players who started at least seven games or averaged at least 10 minutes, are all gone.

Those spots where the Blue & White do have experience will be leaned on by McDevitt for leadership and guidance for the younger players.

David Robertson and Kevin Vannatta, the two returning scholarship guards, will both see their roles change from the past. Robertson was a 30-game starter and his team’s second-leading scorer with 10.7 ppg in 2014-15, while Vannatta logged 18 starts, averaging 7.6 ppg and posting a nearly a 2-to-1 assist/turnover ratio.

Nick McDevitt Head Coach

David Robertson Junior Guard

For as much youth as the Bulldogs have outside, the post features an experienced group, with both of this year’s seniors – John Cannon and Sam Hughes – as well as juniors Giacomo Zilli and Will Weeks. Of that group, Hughes saw the most action last season, playing in 29 of 31 contests, including 17 starts. Cannon, a 6-10 center, will make his debut after sitting out last year as a transfer from SEC program Georgia.

As has become commonplace, the Bulldogs will again face a tough non-conference schedule to help prepare for what should be another strong year in Big South play.

Sam Hughes

ASHEVILLE TRIVIA • The Bulldogs made their first back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in 2011 and 2012, earning a ‘First Four’ overtime victory over Arkansas-Little Rock in 2011.

After eight years on the sidelines, USD parted ways with head coach Bill Grier and lost Johnny Dee, the school’s all-time leading scorer, and point guard Christopher Anderson, the school’s all-time leader in assists and steals, to graduation.

Replacing Grier is USD alum Lamont Smith, who comes to USD after spending two years at New Mexico as the Lobos’ associate head coach.

an José State and thirdyear head coach Dave Wojcik intend to bounce back from a 2-28 season a year ago with a wave of young talent and a group of veterans poised to lead the team through one of NCAA basketball’s toughest conferences in the Mountain West.

The promising group of freshmen includes San José State’s first-ever four-star (ESPN) recruit, Cody Schwartz, as well as Indiana prep all-state forward Ryan Welage. Brandon Clarke, one of the top shot blockers in the state of Arizona, balances the offensive and defensive skill sets of the youngsters. Schwartz, Welage and Clarke all led their teams to state title games in 2014-15. Adding to the winning pedigree is 6-6 guard Jaycee Hillsman, who led Don Bosco (Ind.)

Figured to pace the team on both ends of the floor is 6-6 guard Princeton Onwas. The senior is set to take the floor for the first time as a Spartan after sitting the 2014-15 season due to NCAA transfer rules. Onwas played in 31 games and made 11 starts for Utah in 2013-14.

oledo is sporting a new look in the 2015-16 campaign with the addition of eight newcomers.

That influx is expected to help offset the departure of a senior class which helped the Rockets register a Mid-American Conference-best 47 victories the last two winters.

Toledo will rely heavily on a pair of returning starters — senior center Nathan Boothe and junior guard Jonathan Williams — to provide leadership for its youthful squad. Both were part of last season’s starting unit that saw every member of the quintet average double figures in the scoring column.

“Having a four-year starter in the post like Nate is a big plus for us,” head coach Tod Kowalczyk said. “I also have high expectations for Jon-Jon (Williams). He had a really good off-season but needs to take another step. They both need to lead us with their actions on and off the court.”

Boothe averaged 10.0 ppg and ranked second on the team with 5.7 rpg, while Williams tallied

10.2 ppg and a team-high 36.0 three-point fieldgoal percentage.

The Rockets also have three more returning letterwinners — junior center Zach Garber, junior guard Jordan Lauf and sophomore guard Stuckey Mosley — to turn to for veteran leadership. All three players saw action in every game last season, with Lauf contributing 4.3 ppg and 3.6 rpg in 19 minutes per contest and Mosley averaging 3.3 ppg. Garber grabbed 2.4 rpg and got to the free throw line an impressive 58 times in his 12.8 minutes per game.

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 2014-15, producing three top-10 NCAA team finishes, three Great Northwest Athletic Conference team titles, 17 All-Americans and two CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-Americans. The Seawolves’ men’s cross country led the way with a program-best 6th-place showing at NCAAs, helping the entire Seawolf program finish 34th in the Learfield Director’s Cup standings for NCAA Div. II, barely missing a fifth straight year 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 10 straight winning seasons, while the women have nine 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 sixth straight GNAC title with a dominating performance at the league championships, with sophomore Henry Cheseto and junior Joyce Chelimo leading a Seawolf sweep.

Katelynn Zanders and the Seawolf volleyball team have registered three straight 20-win seasons and rose to the top 10 in the national rankings this season.  LEFT: Local standouts such as Mackenzie

Kanady have helped the UAA ski team remain among the NCAA’s top contenders every year.

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, the Seawolves achieved one of the top seasons in program history in 2015.

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 30 of the past 31 seasons. Last year, the Seawolves hosted the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association Championships at Alyeska Resort and Kincaid Park.

HOCKEY: UAA’s original Div. I program, the Seawolf hockey team skates in the storied Western Collegiate Hockey Assocation, where it is re-establishing a proud tradition under 3rdyear head coach Matt Thomas. After an 18-win season and a 2014 WCHA Final Five appearance, the Seawolves have gotten off to another strong start in 2015-16.

MEN’S & WOMEN’S TRACK & FIELD: Having competed as a fully sponsored sport since only 2005 and entering just their fourth year of indoor competition, the Seawolves have already produced an amazing 72 All-America certificates and six individual NCAA titles. Senior javelin thrower Cody Parker – the 2013 NCAA champ –

and multi-event All-American Cody Thomas will spearhead another powerful men’s squad next spring, while senior multi-event All-American Karolin Anders will try to help the Seawolf women recapture the GNAC indoor and outdoor titles they swept in 2014.

VOLLEYBALL: The Seawolf volleyball team has become a perennial contender in the NCAA West Region, earning the program’s sixth NCAA bid in seven seasons and posting another 20-win campaign in 2015. Currently featuring Alaskagrown 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, five Newcomers of the Year, and two Freshmen of the Year since 2008.

UAA ADMINISTRATION & ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

TOM CASE

KEITH HACKETT

T

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, sonin-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. He is a graduate of the National War College, the U.S. Army Command & General Staff College, the Air War College, and Emory University’s Advanced Management Program.

He is an active member of the community, having served on the boards of the Alaska World Affairs Council and World Trade Center Alaska, and is immediate past president of Commonwealth North.

He is an avid pilot and, of course, a great Seawolf fan.

ntering his third year as Director of Athletics at the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2015-16, Keith Hackett has positioned the Seawolves’ 13-sport NCAA program for unprecedented growth and success.

Since arriving on Oct. 1, 2013, Hackett has overseen 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 has transformed the UAA campus – along with a major expansion of the Seawolves’ hockey facilities at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex.

Under his leadership, the department has developed a strategic plan that lists priorities, guiding the decision-making process and allowing the department to maintain focus on the Mission of Seawolf Athletics.

A university and administrative management executive with 38 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. Hackett has developed partnerships with industry leader Spectra to manage the Alaska Airlines Center and UAA’s ticketing operations; Learfield Sports – the industry leader in media rights and sponsorships; and its newest partner, Basketball Travelers, to assist UAA in developing the GCI Great Alaska Shootout.

Hackett has worked closely with corporate partners GCI and Alaska Airlines – and national TV partner CBS Sports Network – to bolster the vitality of UAA’s most visible event, the GCI Great Alaska Shootout.

Other important areas that Hackett has targeted include external development, revenue generation, and enhancing the ‘Seawolf Fan Experience.’ Since Hackett’s arrival, over $3.2 million new dollars have been raised for facility projects and Student-Athlete support, total sales revenue has increased yearly by 36 percent, and significant enhancements have been made to the in-game fan experience and the level of service provided to season-ticket holders and Seawolf fans.

Along with his behind-the-scenes contributions, UAA’s success in the competitive arena has also been apparent in Hackett’s first two years, with the Seawolf program finishing among the top 12 percent of all NCAA Div. II institutions in the Learfield Director’s Cup both times. All told during his tenure, the Seawolves’ D-II programs have qualified for NCAA postseason competition at a 90 percent rate, producing 42 All-Americans, four Academic All-Americans®, and seven Great Northwest Athletic Conference team titles.

Even more impressively, UAA student-athletes have continued their tradition of academic excellence under Hackett’s leadership, combining for better than a 3.15 overall grade-point average in his of his two years at the helm.

Hackett came to the Seawolves 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.

Prior to his time in Reno, Hackett served as Executive VP for Special Projects and Director of the St. Gregory’s University College for Working Adults in Tulsa, Okla. He also served as Executive VP and Provost at St. Gregory’s 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 39 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 Museum’s 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.
