Coaches

2012–13 Men’s Basketball Season Preview After several years of building a strong program, fifth-year head coach Bubba Smith returns a solid nucleus of players to go along with a number of talented newcomers. Below is the Tigers’ preseason outlook with Coach Smith. Heading into this season, the Tigers return four starters, eight letter-winners and welcome 11 newcomers. After earning the most wins since 1997-98, Sewanee returns the majority of its scoring and rebounding. Additionally, the Tigers were just as tough defensively, ranking first in the SCAC in field goal percentage defense. “We made great strides last season on the defensive end of the floor,” said Smith. “We hope to improve our efforts on the defensive end and continue to rebound the ball well. I’m excited about the intensity we have shown so far this preseason. Defense is about consistent effort and consistent execution. If we can do both well this year, we should build on the progress we made last season.” In the backcourt, Sewanee returns a number of key players. Headlined by 2011-12 All-SCAC guard Valentino Bryant, the Tigers also return key contributors in seniors Lewis Affronti and Brett Bouldin. “Leadership is something that we have worked hard to develop over the last few years,” said Smith. “Creating and building expectations for the men in our program have been important to where we are today. Our seniors and juniors have played significant minutes and gained valuable experience during their careers. I’m confident that Brett, Valentino, and Lewis will lead our backcourt well this season.” Along with the key returners, Sewanee has a number of talented newcomers added to the mix. “We have many guards that we are excited about,” said Smith. “Some will have an immediate impact on our program and some will have to be patient and continue to develop. Nilan Hodge has separated himself so far this fall. He is a quick point guard who can create for his teammates and has the potential to be a great floor leader. Leo Born and Will Downey are two guards who can really shoot it from long range. They already have the physical attributes to handle the college game. The quicker they can learn our system, the

sooner they will be able to contribute. Alex Arnold has given us a solid presence in the back-up point guard position. He is a point guard who is steady and consistent. John McKenzie is an athletic guard who has the potential to be a great defender and is learning our system. Matt Tome is another great shooter who has shot the ball well this fall and will be a solid guard for our team. Backup point guard Bryan Beviacqua is coming off a tough ankle injury and is slowly getting back into game shape. He will continue to provide us with solid efforts when he returns.” After posting an 11-2 mark inside Juhan Gymnasium last year, the Tigers will look to take that success on the road this winter. “We need to be able to win on the road,” said Smith. “We held our home court last year, but failed to win close games on the road. Teams that are tough physically and mentally can win on the road. We have challenged the toughness of our team in both areas since last spring. I’m anxious to see how we respond on the road to open the season.” Along with the solid guard play, Sewanee returns 2011-12 All-SCAC starting forward Tyler Brown. “Tyler Brown is a high energy player,” said Smith. “When he is flying around the court, our team usually plays well. I expect Tyler to continue where he left off last year. Tyler’s athleticism allows him to be a tough match up with most players at his position. If he can bring us consistent effort and energy each night, our team will respond to his leadership.” In addition to Brown, Sewanee features a frontcourt that returns junior Anvil Nelson and sophomore Robert Veal. “Even though our system is a one-post offense, it allows us flexibility at the forward position to play a number of different line-ups,” said Smith. “Anvil and Robert split time last season at the post position and have experience on their side. They both bring different skills to the position and I expect them to continue their consistent play this year.” Joining the three returners are a pair of talented post players. “We have added two post players this year, with Keshonn Carter and Garrett Heatherly,” said Smith. “Keshonn has

had an impressive fall and his athleticism and feel around the basket has made our team better. Keshonn runs the floor well and will give us an athletic post presence. Garrett is a big body with true post moves. He has the potential to be a solid player for us in the near future.” Additionally, incoming forwards Seth Brown and Byron Turner, along with Sheldon Hitchcock, are expected to add additional depth for Sewanee. “Our athleticism at the four has also been improved with the addition of Seth and Byron,” said Smith. “Seth has a great skill set and is already one of our best shooters from three. He also has a great feel around the rim and can score in multiple ways. Byron has a great upside and his athleticism has been a great addition to our team. As he learns our system and adjusts to the college game, he will be expected to contribute in the near future. Finally, Sheldon adds another dimension to the forward position. He has great range and a good feel for the game.” As a program, the 2012-13 season marks the first year that the Tigers will be part of the newly formed Southern Athletic Association. “I’m excited about the new conference,” said Smith. “I think it will create more local rivalries and will be easier for fans and alumni to follow our conference. Obviously, less missed class time and shorter trips allow our guys to keep up their coursework and not get behind. Having an opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament is always a goal for our team. With every team competing in the conference tournament now, the opportunity for a post-season bid becomes a reality for each program. We want to be playing our best basketball come February, which is always one of our team goals.” For more information on Sewanee Athletics, please visit www.SewaneeTigers.com.

progress we are making in rebuilding the men’s basketball program. It is a great honor to be associated with such a prestigious university. From the moment our family stepped foot on the campus, we immediately felt like we were at home. There is no question that Sewanee is special, and I hope to build upon the success that has been a part of Sewanee’s past, as we look forward to growing the men’s basketball program. I’m passionate about attracting young men to Sewanee who have a commitment to excellence in their academic, athletic, social, and personal growth. I have been blessed over the last 12 years as an assistant and head coach to lead young men who have made me a better person and coach. The successes our players have had off the court have been equally as impressive as their accomplishments on, and I envision the same for our student-athletes at Sewanee. I am looking forward to building special traditions at Sewanee, connecting with former players and alumni, and making this journey a family affair.

have a strong defense this season. A year ago, the Tigers ranked second in the league in points allowed (62.7 ppg) and first in field goal percentage defense (40.1 percent). Additionally, Sewanee was the top rebounding team in the SCAC. Smith came to Sewanee after spending eight years at perennial Division III power Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, the last five as the head coach. During his three years as an assistant, Smith helped current William & Mary Head Coach Tony Shaver lead the Tigers to 75 wins, two ODAC titles, three NCAA Tournament appearances, and an appearance in the 2003 NCAA Division III Final Four. As head coach at Hampden-Sydney, Smith continued the school’s tradition of excellence, leading the Tigers to a 94-46 (.671) record, including two ODAC championships and two berths in the NCAA Tournament. In Smith’s first season as a head coach, he became the only rookie coach to ever lead his team to a No. 1 national ranking, ODAC championship, and NCAA tournament appearance with a 25-5 record. Overall, Smith’s 94 wins are the most ever for a Hampden-Sydney basketball coach through his first five seasons.

Along with a strong finish to the season, Smith’s Tigers held their opponents to the lowest scoring average and the lowest rebounding rate since 2001-2002. Sewanee’s opposition shot the lowest percentage from the field since 2001 and the lowest from the three point line since 1999-2000. The Tigers own three point percentage was the highest since 2003-2004, and the five home victories were the most since 2005-2006. During the 2008-2009 season, Smith also notched his 100th career collegiate victory with a 57-52 victory over BirminghamSouthern on Feb. 13, 2009. In 2011-12, the Tigers earned the most wins since the 1997-98 team finished 206. In addition to making its first SCAC Tournament appearance since 2009, Sewanee closed last season with an impressive 11-2 mark inside Juhan Gymnasium. Additionally, the Tigers earned their first victories over SCAC Champion Trinity and Centre since the 2004 and 2005 campaigns.

Bubba Smith enters his fifth season as the head coach of the Sewanee Tigers. In just a short period of time, the changes that Smith has put in place have become the new standard of excellence for Sewanee Basketball. From how the team is outfitted, facility improvements, to how the team travels, every aspect of the Tiger program is being improved. Although many of these changes are critical to player retention and recruitment, the most valuable changes Smith has brought to the Mountain is the belief that Sewanee can compete with the best teams in the country. Even though the rebuilding process requires time and patience, Smith will not settle until the Tigers are consistently competing with the top teams in the SAA and Division III. Recruitment of the highest caliber student-athletes with great character, talent, and undying work ethic is the key to the rebuilding process. Smith’s first season with Sewanee saw the Tigers make steady improvements throughout the year. The 2008-2009 Tigers finished the season with a three game home winning streak over Oglethorpe, Birmingham-Southern, and rival Rhodes (Sewanee’s first win streak of three or more games and first SCAC weekend

It has taught me the concept of servant leadership and placing others before myself.” Bradley Pierson Alumnus, ’09

2012 Alumni game

This is Sewanee basketball

Sewanee men’s basketball extends beyond just four years spent on the Mountain. The current Tigers wouldn’t be where they are without the support, foundation, and encouragement from former Tiger athletes. Sewanee men’s basketball alumni young and old alike, share a common bond with the current team and they all understand that wearing the Sewanee jersey is a special commitment. We invite and welcome men’s basketball alumni to stay connected with the team. Join us in the spring for our annual Alumni Game!
