2011 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout

SHOOTOUT COMMITTEE & SEAWOLF CAPTAINS A lthough officially hosted by the University of Alaska Anchorage, much of the behind-the-scenes work at the Carrs/ Safeway Great Alaska Shootout is handled by the Shootout Committee. Chaired this year by Kristen Dyson (above), 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 and selling tickets. Even prior to the conclusion of the 2011 tournament, the wheels are already in motion with the planning of the 2012 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout.

he Seawolf Captains program enters its 27th year of operation with the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout in 2011. Chosen by the UAA Athletics Department and coordinated by Jim and Bobbi Olson, several 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. Jim & Bobbi Olson  Seawolf Captain Coordinators

2011 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout

GEORGE M. SULLIVAN ARENA The Seawolf basketball teams host the Carrs/ Safeway Great Alaska Shootout in the 8,700-seat 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 Field House on Fort Richardson. A Willie Nelson concert on Feb. 8, 1983 was the first event hosted by the arena, and in

The Seawolf

March of that year the Seawolf hockey team played its first game there when it took on the U.S. National Team. Since that time, UAA has emerged as one of the top-drawing hockey programs in the nation, skating in the powerful Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Basketball fans have flocked to the Sullivan to see the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. Over the last 10 years, more than 40,000 fans per tournament have squeezed into Sullivan. 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.

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.

Complete with an 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. A new basketball court and refurbished home locker rooms are among the many upgrades made in recent years. 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-by9-foot “Sulli-Vision” video screen was installed on the south wall. A first-class sound and lighting system completes the setting.

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.

2011 TOURNAMENT PREVIEW

Wide-open field highlights 2011 Shootout

fter 34 years, the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout has become a statewide tradition unlike any other, bringing Alaskans from around this vast state to Anchorage for a week-long feast of holiday hoops. And with a plethora of storylines this year, the Shootout is guaranteed to serve up plenty of drama again in 2011. On the women’s side, the first round will offer a matchup of nationally ranked programs when reigning ACC champion Miami faces Division II power and host Alaska Anchorage, while Central Michigan and South Florida pose another strong matchup. In the men’s field, there is no clear favorite, but a handful of rising programs that could draw national attention as Central Michigan (Mid-American), Murray State (Ohio Valley), New Mexico State (Western Athletic), San Francisco (West Coast) and Southern Mississippi (Conference-USA) all have been predicted to finish among the top halves of their respective leagues. New Mexico State returns to Anchorage for the first time since winning the 1992 title, while Dartmouth, from the Ivy League, and Murray State will become the first teams to represent their conferences at the Shootout. Here’s a look at the 2011 fields: WOMEN’S FIELD ALASKA ANCHORAGE: With a 9-1 record and four titles in the last five tournaments, host Alaska Anchorage is unlikely to sneak up on any of its foes in 2011. The Seawolves are ranked No. 12 in the NCAA Div. II preseason top-25 poll as they come off their fifth straight NCAA Tournament and a 27-7 record in 2010-11. Head coach Tim Moser, who enters the year with the best current winning pct. (.833) among D-II coaches, has several veterans to rely on once again, including preseason All-American Hanna Johansson at center and junior Alysa Horn – a Kodiak native – at small forward. CENTRAL MICHIGAN: Head coach Sue Guevara’s team won 20 games last year for just the fourth time in program history, but it appears the Chippewas might be a rising program in the MidAmerican Conference. CMU returns three starters from its

Hurricanes enter the year with their eyes on a Shootout title and much more. Guard Shenise Johnson, who averaged 19.6 points and 8.3 rebounds last year, is a preseason AllAmerican on everyone’s list, and she wasn’t even UM’s leading scorer. Backcourt mate Riquina Williams returns with her 21.7 average. Anchorage native Sylvia Bullock, the sister of UAA men’s all-time scoring leader Peter Bullock, also comes home after starting every game last year. SOUTH FLORIDA: The Bulls are making their first Shootout appearance but are the third women’s team in four years to visit from the powerful Big East Conference. With 10 juniors and seniors on the roster, head coach Jose Fernandez brings a veteran club to Anchorage, including high-scoring sisters Andrea and Andrell Smith. Junior point guard Kaneisha Saunders should also give the Bulls a boost as she returns from injury.

Anchorage native Sylvia Bullock helped Miami to the Atlantic Coast Conference title and is one of five starters returning for the Hurricanes.

WNIT team of a year ago, including AllMAC honorable mention and triple-double threat Brandie Baker and reigning MAC Freshman-of-the-Year Niki DiGuilio. The Chippewas are trying to make it back-to-back titles for the MAC after Kent State captured the 2010 Shootout. MIAMI: With all five starters returning from the team that won an Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season co-title, the

MEN’S FIELD ALASKA ANCHORAGE: Nationally ranked in the preseason polls for the first time since their Final 4 season of 2007-08, 8thyear head coach Rusty Osborne has another squad capable of pulling D-I upsets. Senior center Taylor Rohde averaged 16.1 points and 6.5 rebounds after transferring from Arizona State last year, and the Phoenix native is on multiple preseason All-America lists this fall. UAA also features four more seniors, including All-GNAC honorable mention guard Mario Gill (10.3 ppg, 5.1 rpg, .463 3FG) and Anchorage native Lonnie Ridgeway (6.8 ppg, 3.6 rpg). CENTRAL MICHIGAN: One of five Shootout newcomers in this year’s men’s field, the Chippewas are looking for a breakthrough season under 6th-year head coach Ernie Zeigler. Zeigler will have a familiar face to rely upon as son Trey Zeigler is a rising star. As a freshman last year he averaged 16.3 ppg – the best mark among returning MAC players this year. Guard Derek Jackson, also just a sophomore, returns after finishing strong with 10.1 ppg in the final 13 contests a year ago.

2011 TOURNAMENT PREVIEW DARTMOUTH: The first school to visit from both the state of New Hampshire and the storied Ivy League, the Big Green will try to prove as adept on the court as in the classroom. Dartmouth is looking to improve on a last-place Ivy finish from a year ago, with junior guard R.J. Griffin (9.4 ppg) as its court general. Senior forward David Rufful is the Big Green’s statistical (8.3 ppg, 4.6 rpg) and emotional leader. Head coach Paul Cormier returned last year for his second stint in Hanover after several years as an NBA assistant. MURRAY STATE: One of the best-kept secrets in all of college basketball, Murray State is the first men’s team from the Ohio Valley Conference to play in the Shootout, and the Racers have been the league gold standard for three decades. With 22 OVC regularseason titles – including last year – and 14 NCAA Tournaments, the Racers have thrived in the basketball-rich state of Kentucky. This season should be no different as junior guard Isaiah Canaan (11.7 ppg) and senior forward Ivan Aska (7.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg) will provide the veteran leadership for firstyear head coach Steve Prohm. NEW MEXICO STATE: The only men’s program with a previous Shootout appearance among the 2011 field, NMSU comes north for the first time since winning the title in 1992. The Aggies’ strong hoops tradition has continued recently under head coach Marvin Menzies as the program seeks its fourth 20-win season in the last six years. Four starters are back from last season, including senior point guard Hernst Laroche (11.5 ppg, 4.6 apg). NMSU should get a boost from the return of 6-6 forward Wendell McKines, a double-digit scorer who missed 2010-11 with a foot injury. SAN FRANCISCO: A national power in the 1950s and ’60s, the Dons could be on the verge of another basketball renaissance under 4th-year head coach Rex Walters. USF finished a surprising third in the roughand-tumble West Coast Conference a year ago and returns 10 letterwinners from that 19-win team. Much of top optimism in the Bay Area

is thanks to the return of three double-digit scorers in junior Michael Williams (14.7 ppg), senior Rashad Green (12.5 ppg, 5.8 rpg) and junior Perris Blackwell (10.7 ppg, 7.0 rpg).

Point guard Angelo Johnson is also back after posting a Conference USA-best 3.1-to-1 assist-turnover ratio.

SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI: Despite three 20-win seasons in the last five years, including a 22-10 mark in 2010-11, the Golden Eagles are still chasing that elusive NCAA bid as they enter the current campaign. Larry Eustachy, in his 8th year in Hattiesburg, must replace his two leading scorers from a season ago, and he will look heavily to 6-4 sophomore guard D.J. Newbill (9.2 ppg, 6.2 rpg) for both scoring and leadership.

UC IRVINE: Another coach with a new-look squad, UCI’s Russell Turner must replace his top three scorers. If the Anteaters are to compete for a spot among the elite in the Big West Conference, they must get big seasons from sophomore win Chris McNealy, junior guard Daman Starring and senior forward Adam Folker, who missed 2010-11 with a hand injury. UCI is making its second Shootout appearance (1990).

WOMEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY

ntering its 32nd 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 13th 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 men’s event. And so it is that this year’s women’s Shootout field of host Alaska Anchorage, Central Michigan, Miami and South Florida 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 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. Beginning at the then-named 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 Dominion, Oregon, 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

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.

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).

ALASKA ANCHORAGE SEAWOLVES

laska Anchorage’s Tim Moser goes into the 2011-12 season as the winningest active coach in NCAA Division II, having led the Seawolves to a 135-27 record (.833) over the past five seasons. The Seawolves have earned a pair of Great Northwest Athletic Conference titles, five straight NCAA first-round wins, and advanced twice to the NCAA Div. II Semifinals in that time, but Moser and his team are hungry for even bigger accomplishments this time around. A pair of frontcourt standouts – senior center Hanna Johansson and junior forward Alysa Horn – are among six returning letterwinners from last year’s squad that went 27-7 and reached the West Regional semifinals. An all-region and first-team All-GNAC pick as a junior, Johansson returns for her fourth season with a chance to write her name all over the Seawolf record books. Last year she averaged team-highs of 13.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, while shooting 51 percent from the field. The Swede holds UAA career top-20 ranks in 10 different stats categories and is already the 3rd-winningest player in program history with 82 victories. Horn had a breakout season in 2010-11, earning second-team all-league honors after averaging 11.4 ppg, 6.1 rpg and sinking a team-high 47 three-pointers. The Kodiak product earned a pair of GNAC Player-of-the-Week awards as a sophomore after playing only sparingly as a redshirt freshman. Senior forwards Tijera Mathews and Kaylie Robison are also back after playing big roles as junior-college transfers last year. Mathews, a 5-10 wing, started 11 games – all down the stretch – and averaged 5.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg and 1.3 steals per game, establishing herself as both a dangerous three-point shooter and a defensive presence. Robison, a 6-foot post player, was perhaps the most reliable reserve in the GNAC, coming off the bench in all 34 games and posting 5.4 ppg and 5.5 rpg. Guard Kylie Burns saw action in all but one contest as the team’s only true freshman last year, while junior guard Jordan Martin played in

At point guard, junior Sasha King is also back after an injury redshirt campaign. The Oklahoman had an impressive performance at the season-opening Disney Tip-Off Classic before hurting her ACL late in the third game. Sophomore center Morgan Lee played in just seven games as a freshman. Three JC transfers and four true freshmen make up the rest of the roster, including highscoring guard Haley Holmstead, who could be a leading contender for the Newcomer-of-the-Year in the GNAC.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN CHIPPEWAS

he 2011-12 Central Michigan women’s basketball team will return three of its five starters from last year’s squad that finished 20-11. Among those returning is All-MidAmerican Conference honorable mention selection Brandie Baker, and the reigning MAC Freshman of the Year, Niki DiGuilio. Entering her fifth season at the helm of the Chippewas is head coach Sue Guevara, whose team last year won 20 games for just the fourth time in program history. Guevara’s 2010-11 squad also advanced to its 10th semifinal game in program history and the first since 1992. This year’s team will look to find players to replace seniors Kaihla Szunko and Shonda Long. Szunko became the 20th member of the CMU 1,000-point club. Long finished her career sixth on CMU’s all-time scoring list and first in threepointers made. With a youthful roster made up of only four upperclassmen, Guevara will need to blend the veterans and newcomers successfully. The team has two seniors in Skylar Miller and Sarah Huff, along with two juniors in Brandie Baker and Jarlisa Olive. Baker last season became the first player in CMU history, men or women, to register a tripledouble, averaging 13.0 points and 7.2 rebounds on the year. She finished her sophomore campaign with two double-doubles and was 22nd in the NCAA in assist-to-turnover ratio. Baker also broke her own record for minutes played in a season with 1,144 and tied the program record with 156 assists. Olive, who averaged 5.8 ppg, also possesses a prolific scoring touch as her 32 points last season against North Carolina A&T were the most for a bench player in CMU history. Huff, meanwhile, appeared in 14 games as a junior, averaging 1.2 points and 1.4 rebounds DiGuilio and MAC Sixth-Player of the Year Taylor Johnson will both look to be active early this season. DiGuilio finished last year with five 20-plus scoring games and 17 double-figure scoring efforts. She ranked 25th in the NCAA for threepoint field goal percentage (.408) and 77th in

MIAMI HURRICANES

he University of Miami women’s basketball team, coming off its first Atlantic Coast Conference championship in program history, enters the 2011-12 season ready for yet another successful campaign. The team, led by head coach Katie Meier, finished the season 28-5 overall and 12-2 in conference play, earning a share of the league title in the process. The Hurricanes, who were defeated by Oklahoma in the second round of the 2011 NCAA Tournament, return every player from a year ago and entered the season ranked No. 7 nationally in both the Associated Press and Coaches’ polls. The senior guard tandem of Shenise Johnson and Riquna Williams will once again be the focal point of the team’s production. Johnson, who this year became the first preseason All-American in school history, averaged 19.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in 2010-11 en route to ACC Player of the Year honors. She was named to the All-ACC First Team for the second consecutive season, as well as to the All-ACC Tournament and All-ACC Defensive teams. Her 19.6 scoring average trailed only her teammate Williams in conference scoring. Williams is another player who enters the 2011-12 season coming off a career year. As a First-Team All-ACC selection, Williams led the league and ranked 11th nationally with 21.7 points per game. The 5-6 guard, who finished her sophomore season as a second-team AllACC selection, lead the team in scoring, field goals made (251), three-pointers made (75) and free throws made (140). Along with Johnson, Williams was named to the Women’s Preseason Nominee List for the 2011 John R. Wooden Award, considered college basketball’s most prestigious individual honor. Though Meier’s team is lead by its two AllACC standouts, other instrumental contributors will also be returning for the Hurricanes. Junior forward Morgan Stroman, who was named Third-Team All-ACC, started all 33 games for the Hurricanes and finished third on the team in scoring (13.6 ppg) last season. She led the ACC and finished fifth in the nation with 3.3 steals per

SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS

laying in one of the toughest conferences in any sport at any level, the South Florida Bulls hope to continue their rise in 2011-12. Picked to finish 10th in the preseason Big East coaches’ poll, the Bulls feature 10 upperclassmen on their 14-woman roster. USF is coming off a 12-19 campaign that featured six losses to top-25 teams and an encouraging victory over nationally ranked Georgetown in the regularseason finale. The Bulls return three of their top four scorers, including senior guard Andrea Smith and junior guard Andrell Smith, from a year ago. “We have a veteran club coming back,” head coach Jose Fernandez said. “(Andrea) had a great offseason and we’re going to be very fun to watch with the ball in her hands.” Andrea Smith led the Bulls in scoring last season and was third in the Big East at 16.5 points per game. The former prep star from nearby Lake Gibson High School was named a Preseason All-Big East honorable mention selection at the league’s preseason media day in October. “For her to be thought of in that light is very impressive,” Fernandez said. Meanwhile, younger sister Andrell averaged 8.3 points and was tops on the team with 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals per contest as a sophomore. Junior point guard Kaneisha Saunders averaged 7.3 points and 3.8 assists in 21 games (14 starts) last season. Saunders missed a good portion of the Big East schedule, which Fernandez said was a big reason why the Bulls missed out on the postseason. Other key returners in the backcourt are senior Jasmine Wynne and junior Sasha Bernard. Wynne logged five starts as a junior and averaged 3.4 points, while Sasha Bernard, a transfer from Indiana, started 11 games and averaged 3.5 ppg after gaining her eligibility at semester. USF also features four forwards who return from last season, including 5th-year senior Daleisha Carn. Carn averaged 6.0 points and 3.2 rebounds in her first year of eligibility after transferring from Alabama, ranking sixth on the Bulls in both categories. Tiffany Conner, from Teaneck, N.J., returns

MEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY The 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 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 championship.

UAA’s Tony Turner brings the ball downcourt against Lamar in the first Shootout game, Nov. 24, 1978.

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 for-

MEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY mer 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 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 taken 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. 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. In the last decade, the Shootout has again served as a springboard to success. The entire 2003 Final Four field featured teams who had made Shootout appearances since 1999 – Kansas (1999 champion), Syracuse (2000 champion), Marquette (2001 champion) and Texas (2001, 5th place). Indiana made the 2002 NCAA Final after placing third at the Shootout. The 2004 Shootout saw one of the strongest fields ever, producing five NCAA Tournament teams – Alabama, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Utah and Washington. Both Oklahoma and Utah – featuring future NBA No. 1 pick Andrew Bogut – went on to win their leagues, while Washington earned a No. 1 seed for March Madness. In 2007, the Shootout featured eventual top 10-ranked Butler, NCAA Tournament darling Western Kentucky, and all-time college basketball wins leader Bob Knight in his last go-round with Texas Tech.

The powerful Atlantic Coast Conference has been well represented at the Shootout over the years, including appearances by Anchorage native Trajan Langdon and his Duke squad in 1998 (left) and Brad Daugherty-led North Carolina (No. 42, right) in 1985. LEFT: Led by point guard Mike Green, Butler topped John Roberson and Texas Tech for the 2007 Shootout crown. BOTTOM: Connecticut’s Ray Allen is one of just six players to earn the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player honor without playing for the championship team.

Of the 69 NCAA schools that have won the NCAA men’s basketball title, only six – Wisconsin, Holy Cross, CCNY, La Salle, Loyola (Ill.) and Texas-El Paso – have not played in the Shootout at one time or another. In fact, with UConn’s 2011 coronation, the last 45 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 nationwide via the ESPN cable television network beginning in 1985 and continuing through 2007. This year, in addition to regional telecasts, the Shootout will be available to viewers around the world via the internet. Indeed, the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout is no secret anymore, but rather an event eagerly awaited annually by millions.

MEN’S SHOOTOUT NOTES 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 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. Last season, UAA beat Houston Baptist and Ball State at the Shootout. Following is a list of the 43 Division I programs that have fallen victim to the Seawolves: Auburn Ball State California Canisius Dayton Drexel Eastern Kentucky Grambling State High Point Houston

Missouri-Kansas City Montana New Mexico Nicholls State Notre Dame Pacific Penn State Rhode Island Samford San Francisco

Houston Baptist Idaho Iona Jackson State Lafayette Louisiana Tech Maine Miami (Fla.) Michigan Missouri

ALASKA ANCHORAGE SEAWOLVES

oming off one of the top seasons in program history, the eight returners on the Alaska Anchorage men’s basketball team take a great deal of confidence into the 2011-12 campaign. And with a pair of All-America candidates – seniors Taylor Rohde and Mario Gill – among the returners, the prognosticators have taken notice. The Seawolves are picked No. 12 nationally in one preseason ranking, while the Great Northwest Athletic Conference coaches have dubbed UAA a favorite in their preseason poll. Rohde, a 6-9, 255-pound center, took the GNAC by storm as a junior, averaging 16.1 points on 61.4 percent shooting, while adding 6.5 rebounds per game. The Arizona State transfer also made an impressive 190 trips to the free throw line, converting at a 74 percent clip. Last year Rohde was a first-team all-conference and all-region selection, and he has been tabbed a preseason All-American by both The Sporting News and Division II Bulletin this fall. Gill, meanwhile, finished his junior campaign as perhaps the most prolific scoring guard in the GNAC, averaging 22.0 points in UAA’s two NCAA Tournament games and making the West Regional All-Tournament Team. The honorable mention All-GNAC selection averaged 10.3 ppg in 34 starts and was the team’s secondleading rebounder at 5.1 rpg, while leading the league with 46.3 percent three-point marksmanship (57 of 123). Two fourth-year seniors – Lonnie Ridgeway and Steve White – add valuable experience and a wealth of talent to the backcourt. Ridgeway, an explosive 6-3 swingman, returned to the lineup last December after 18 months away from basketball and wound up as the team’s fifth-leading scorer at 6.8 ppg. White, a 6-0 point guard from Australia, has appeared in 85 games and sports an impressive 52.7 percent career field-goal percentage. Last year he averaged 4.3 ppg and 3.4 assists per game. The Seawolves’ fifth active senior is 6-6 forward Phillip Hearn, another local product. In his first full season of college ball, the former West Anchorage High standout saw action in 18 games, including multiple playoff appearances. Liam Gibcus, a 6-10, 245-pound center, was UAA’s field-goal percentage leader at .645

DID YOU KNOW? • UAA’s 24 victories last year tied for the second-most in program history with the Seawolves’ 1987-88 NCAA Runner-Up team. • Former Seawolf track & field All-American David Registe was the bronze medalist in the long jump at the 2011 Pan American Games.

as a sophomore last year, and provided tough rebounding and defense. Two Alaska sophomores who made splashes in their rookie seasons return in 2011-12 as well. Travis Thompson (Anchorage/Dimond) sank a team-best 83 percent from the free-throw line and set a Seawolf freshman record at 44 percent from the three-point line. Meanwhile, Kyle Fossman (Haines) saw valuable minutes at both guard positions in his 20 appearances. A pair of redshirts will see their first action this year as junior center Chris Weitzel and freshman guard Boomer Blossom join the fray. Three transfers, including two with D-I experience, and a true freshman make up a recruiting class poised to make an impact. Marcus Jackson, a 6-2 point guard, rejoins former teammate Rohde on the Seawolf roster as a transfer from Arizona State. After appearing in 16 games with ASU as a sophomore, Jackson is eager to show the form that made him a two-time All-Sacramento Metro selection as a prep. Abebe Demissie, a 6-6 forward from North Idaho College via Eastern Washington, gives UAA an athletic rebounder and solid defender in the frontcourt. One of five former Alaska Players-of-the-

CENTRAL MICHIGAN CHIPPEWAS

entral Michigan is expected to contend for the Mid-American Conference West Division title this season despite the fact that only one regular has been in the program for more than two years. CMU returns seven letterwinners while losing three starters from last year’s team that went 10-21 overall and 7-9 in the MAC, good for third place in the West Division. The team’s two returning starters, sophomore guards Trey Zeigler and Derek Jackson, are the nucleus that head coach Ernie Zeigler has built the 2011-12 team around. Trey Zeigler was honorable mention AllMAC as a rookie after averaging 16.3 points per game, third-best nationally among freshman. Jackson chipped in 7.5 points per game and ranked among the league’s leaders in steals with 1.6 per game. He started the last 13 games of the year and averaged double figures over that stretch. However, the lack of a point guard last season left the Chippewas turning to Trey to run the show most of the time while taking 28 percent of the team’s shots. As such, CMU brought in a pair of talented, pass-first point guards to push the offensive tempo and allow Zeigler the ability to get out in transition. Los Angeles-area native Austin McBroom and Michigan product Jorddan Myrick are expected to split time at the point, with McBroom providing a threat from the arc and Myrick to be counted upon as a defensive stopper. The freshmen will be tutored by junior walk-on John Morris (2.4 ppg) who started six times last season and emerged as a steady option. Jackson also will be pushed at shooting guard by the most experienced player on the roster, junior Finis Craddock (3.9 ppg). Central added a knock-down three-point shooter in Austin Keel from Winter Park, Fla., where he played with national high school Player of the Year Austin Rivers (Duke). Keel will help

DID YOU KNOW? • The two most recent CMU products to play in the NBA were also both Olympians – Dan Majerle (United States, 1988) and current Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman (Germany, 2008). • CMU was originally founded as the Central Michigan Normal School and Business Institute in 1892, charged with educating Michigan’s future teachers.

keep opposing defenses honest when trying to stop the plethora of CMU’s athletic slashers. In the post, the Chippewas return senior junior-college transfer Andre Coimbra, who started 11 times last season but constantly battled foul trouble. The Brazilian is a high-energy player who averaged 5.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. Sophomore Collin Voss is slated to open the season as a starter at power forward after averaging 1.1 points and 1.3 rebounds in limited action last season. The Division I football recruit is only 6-7, but as you would expect, he isn’t afraid to get physical. CMU returns a pair of native Michiganders in 6-8 sophomore Jevon Harden and 6-8 junior Zach Saylor down low as well. Harden is a raw talent that will need time to develop, while Saylor has missed a majority of the last three seasons with injuries.

2011 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout

DARTMOUTH BIG GREEN Armed with his first recruiting class since being hired in the spring of 2010, head coach Paul Cormier has greater expectations following a 5-23 season last year. But he also has a corps of veterans who have bought into his mandates of fundamentals and conditioning to help break in the new talent. Among the returning players is senior forward David Rufful, who was overwhelmingly elected to serve as captain by his teammates. A starter since the middle of his freshman season, Rufful is Dartmouth’s active career leader in scoring (628 points) and rebounds (296). But more telling of his style of play is his 107 steals that place him 13th on the Big Green’s career list. Two other full-time starters will be back on the floor for Dartmouth in 2011-12 in guards Jabari Trotter and R.J. Griffin. Trotter, a senior who has played in every game save two throughout his career, is what Cormier calls a “utility guard” for his ability to play either the point or the off-guard positions. He has 590 career points and 113 assists to his credit, plus last year found his shooting stroke as he connected on over 40 percent of his threepoint attempts. Griffin was the Big Green’s leading scorer and team MVP last year as a sophomore, averaging 9.4 points while playing a team-high 29.1 minutes per game. Also returning for Dartmouth are senior guard Kirk Crecco, who started 11 games and averaged 5.5 points, sophomore guard Tyler Melville and his team-leading 54 assists (1.9 apg), and sophomore forward Gediminas Bertasius, who was third on the team in rebounding at 3.5 rpg. Junior center Matt LaBove is back after shooting 46.9 percent from the floor in 25 games, while swingman Nick Jackson showed some scoring promise as a rookie, averaging 2.3 ppg and shooting 40 percent (10 of 25) from three-point range. Also returning is guard Jenieri Cyrus, who saw action in 11 contests.

QUICK FACTS

Paul Cormier Head Coach

David Rufful Senior Forward

DID YOU KNOW? • Dartmouth twice advanced to the NCAA title game in the 1940s, defeating Kentucky (1942) and Ohio State (1944) in the national semifinals. • Named for William Legge, the Second Earl of Dartmouth, and established by a 1769 charter from King George III, Dartmouth is the nation’s ninth oldest college.

Joining the fray on the court are six recruits, many of whom Cormier expects will play significant minutes. Mack McKearney, a 6-2, 185-pounder from Okemos, Mich., and John Golden (6-6, 200) of Freehold, N.J., will push for time as guards, while Jvonte Brooks (6-6, 215) of Santee, Calif., and Gabas Maldunas from Lithuania will get plenty of opportunities in the frontcourt. Will McConnell (6-6, 195) of Atherton, Calif., has made an early impression on the coaches and has already raised expectations, while Kirill Savolainen (6-5, 195), from Finland, is nursing an injury and will have to catch up a bit on development time lost once healthy. “How well the freshmen adjust to college life as well as the speed of the game will dictate how much they play to a degree,” Cormier noted. “But I would be surprised if four of these rookies don’t end up among the top eight or nine in terms of minutes played this year.

“Although we never had a problem with effort last year,“ Cormier continued, “we did have to live with some mistakes and bad habits because we didn’t have much depth and couldn’t afford to take players out to coach them on what they were doing wrong. We are a more talented team now with this recruiting class, and the competition for time on the court will be much greater.”

MURRAY STATE RACERS

eady or not, the Murray State Racers are ready to write the 87th chapter in their history of college basketball that has become one of the best stories in the game. If the 2011-12 season goes like most have gone in recent seasons, the Racers will be right in the middle of the Ohio Valley Conference race. MSU’s new head coach Steve Prohm begins his first season at the Racers’ helm after serving the last five seasons as assistant with Billy Kennedy, who is now the head coach at Texas A&M. The Racers enter the 2011-12 season with eyes of winning their third straight Ohio Valley Conference regular-season championship. MSU’s 22 titles and 14 tournament titles (including 14 NCAA appearances) is tops in the league. Since 1990, MSU’s 11 league titles are tied for second in the nation with Duke and Gonzaga and trails only Kentucky with 12. The Racers have two players who stand a good chance of making the MSU 1,000-point club. Senior Ivan Aska started the season with 933 career points, while junior Isaiah Canaan had 748. If the pair can make it to the golden mark, they’ll be the 37th and 38th to join the prestigious club. Aska, a 6-7 forward, started 10 games last season and came on strong at the end of the year, leading the Racers in scoring in two postseason tournament contests. He is part of a Racers senior class of three that has shown to be tremendously reliable with excellent leadership qualities. Aska, Jewuan Long and Donte Poole have combined to lead MSU to a 73-26 (.737) record since 2008, including two OVC regular-season championships and back-to-back postseason appearances with a spot in the 2010 NCAA Tournament and the National Invitational Tournament in 2011. The trio has combined for 1,777 points and 898 rebounds in 283 games. A 6-3 forward, Poole can stretch defenses with his three-point capabilities, while Long adds a defensive intensity to the Racer backcourt, taking home the team’s Mr. Hustle award last season. Entering his third season, Canaan is the team’s leading returning scorer at 11.7 ppg. The

DID YOU KNOW? • Murray State’s current streak of 24 consecutive winning seasons is tied with Connecticut for the fourth-longest in the nation and trails only Syracuse (41), Kansas (28) and Arizona (27). • MSU’s enrollment of 10,416 comprises more than half of the City of Murray’s population of 17,741.

Mississippi native has been one of the OVC’s top three-point shooters in his first two years. The final two returners add bulk and depth to MSU’s interior as 6-7 junior forward Ed Daniel and 6-9 junior forward Brandon Garrett will battle for more minutes after the graduation of Jeffery McClain. Daniel made 22 starts in 2010-11, averaging 6.3 points on 55 percent shooting – second-best on the team. He also had a team-best 66 offensive rebounds and four double-figure scoring games as a sophomore. Bridging the gap between the frontcourt and backcourt will be a pair of transfers who are expected to make a big impact. Latreze Mushatt is a 6-5, 210-pound wing who will debut after sitting out last year as a transfer from MissouriKansas City. Mushatt started 28 games and was second on the Kangaroos with an 11.3 ppg scoring average as a sophomore. Meanwhile, Stacy Wilson comes to MSU after a productive juniorcollege career at Coffeyville (Kan.) CC, where he put up 14.4 ppg last year.

NEW MEXICO STATE AGGIES

ith a trio of seniors, New Mexico State hits the hardwood in 2011-12 with a veteran squad, including nine returning players. “I’m really excited about the potential of this team,” head coach Marvin Menzies said. “You’re always cautiously optimistic going into a season, but at the end of the day, we have to go out there and produce. That’s the challenge, putting all the pieces together to realize our expectations.” The Aggies look to contend for another Western Athletic Conference title after an injury-plagued 2010-11 campaign. New Mexico State has three seniors, including guard Hernst Laroche, center Hamidu Rahman and forward Wendell McKines, who redshirted last year due to an injury, who have played major roles in the Aggies’ success. Entering the season, Laroche had started all 99 games in his tenure at NM State and ranked No. 2 in school history with 416 assists and No. 4 with 152. As a junior, the point guard averaged 4.6 assists per contest. Rahman also missed a portion of last year with injuries, but still logged 16 starts and averaged 7.2 points and 5.0 rebounds. Before suffering a preseason injury that kept him sidelined last year, McKines posted nearly a double-double (10.7 ppg, 9.8 rpg) in 2009-10 when the Aggies won the WAC Tournament and landed an NCAA bid. “We have the big three in Hamidu, Wendell and Hernst,” Menzies said. “All of those guys have come a long way from their freshmen years. It’s since kind of eerie to look at them as seniors. It seems like they just got here. We’re excited about their contribution this year.” NM State has to replace guard Gordo Castillo and All-WAC selection forward Troy Gillenwater from a year ago, but junior forward Tyrone Watson, junior forward Bandja Sy and junior forward/center B.J. West made appearances in a combined 90 games with 53 games started last season. A benefit to the injuries a season ago is the

Both guard Christian Kabongo and center Tshilidzi Nephawe played in all 33 games, with 14 and 17 games started respectively, while forward Renaldo Dixon saw action in 20 games. “CK (Kabongo), Chili (Nephawe) and Renaldo are guys that are athletic and the future of the program. I think they are learning a lot from the juniors and seniors in terms of work ethic and things they need to do to carry the torch.” The Aggies have nine newcomers this season with freshmen guards Daniel Mullings, Terrel de Rouen, D.J.

SAN FRANCISCO DONS

xcitement is building in San Francisco as the Dons prepare for one of the most anticipated seasons in recent memory. All five starters from last year’s 2011 CollegeInsider.com postseason tournament quarterfinal team return for the Green & Gold along with no fewer than 10 letterwinners. Head coach Rex Walters enters his fourth year at the helm and looks to guide San Francisco back to the postseason with a dynamic blend of experience and youth. San Francisco posted its best conference campaign in nearly 30 years in 2011 at 10-4 and entered the final week of the regular season with a chance to win the program’s first WCC title since 1981. The Dons were picked fourth in the 201112 WCC’s preseason coaches’ poll and look to challenge in what is anticipated to be one of the strongest races in league history. One of the biggest reasons for optimism at by the Bay is the return of three backcourt players who all captured all-conference honors a year ago. Junior Michael Williams and senior Rashad Green were both First Team All-WCC honorees, while sophomore guard Cody Doolin made the All-Freshman Team. Williams was also selected to the District VIII second team and joined Green on the 2011 All-Jesuit All-America Team as the Dons established a new program season record with 227 three-pointers. Williams led the Dons in scoring last season at 14.7 points per game, tallying the second-most treys in program history at 74. Green, meanwhile, emerged as one of the top players in the WCC, averaging impressive all-around numbers of 12.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Junior forward Perris Blackwell was an All-WCC honorable mention selection last year, averaging 10.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game as a sophomore. The 6-9 forward from Etiwanda, Calif., ranked second in the WCC with eight double-doubles.

Angelo Caloiaro Senior Forward

DID YOU KNOW? • San Francisco has the most national titles (2), Final Four appearances (3) and regularseason conference championships (15, tied with Gonzaga) in West Coast Conference history. • The physical location of USF changed after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, moving to a temporary building until property was acquired at Fulton and Parker avenues in 1909.

Senior Angelo Caloiaro recorded 9.9 points and a team-high 7.3 rebounds per outing last year, but the 6-8, 225-pound forward really broke out in the postseason with averages of 12.7 ppg and 11.7 rpg. Among the key returners, Doolin could be the future of the Dons progam after starting all 34 games at point guard as a freshman. The Texan averaged 7.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists, and finished strong with a sensational 18-point, 10-assist outing against Santa Clara in the CollegeInsider tourney. Southern California natives Dominique O’Connor (4.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 1.5 spg) and Avery Johnson (1.3 ppg, 1.0 rpg) will both look to earn more playing time in the backcourt.

SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI GOLDEN EAGLES

ntering the 2010-11 season, the Southern Miss men’s basketball program was poised to break through in a tough Conference USA. Despite finishing with a 22-10 record — their second straight 20-win season — the Golden Eagles fell seven seconds short of their ultimate goal of a postseason berth. This year’s Southern Miss squad will have a tough task ahead, having to replace 69.3 percent of its scoring and 65.1 percent of its rebounding. However, with the group of players returning, along with a group of newcomers, the Golden Eagles are primed and ready to take that next step towards their ultimate goal — a conference championship. Good guard play has been a staple of Larry Eustachy-coached basketball teams. This year’s squad will be no different, as a group of veterans look to lead the team for a third straight year. Redshirt senior Angelo Johnson leads a big group of guards into the 2011-12 season. Johnson will run the point for the Eagles, but can also play the two-guard. The Minneapolis native has started 64 of 66 games in his career. Johnson is the team’s leading returning scorer, averaging 7.5 points and 4.1 assists. He also led Conference USA with a 3.1 assist/turnover ratio. Redshirt senior Maurice Bolden will see time at guard and small forward. Bolden started 12 games last year, averaging 6.8 points and 4.4 rebounds, good for third on the team. Junior LaShay Page returns, having played in 27 games last year, starting one. He averaged 6.2 points and connected on 34 percent from behind the arc. Redshirt freshman Cedric Jenkins also returns. Two newcomers will join this year’s squad in junior college transfers Rashard McGill (Havana, Fla.) and Neil Watson (Kansas City, Kan.). McGill led Tallahassee Community College to a 26-10 record and a spot in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Tournament. He was named First Team All-Panhandle Conference after averaging 9.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists. Watson led Coffeyville Community College to a 33-5 record, the NJCAA Region VI Championship and a 7th-place finish at the NJCAA National Tournament. He averaged 12.7 points, 5.1 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 steals.

DID YOU KNOW? • Longtime NBA veteran Clarence Weatherspoon is one of just two 2,000-point scorers in Southern Miss men’s basketball history. • Southern Miss is recognized as a Carnegie Research University – the only such school located in the coastal region from Pensacola, Fla., to Corpus Christi, Texas.

Southern Miss will have to rely on some fresh faces in the frontcourt this year. The Golden Eagles lost three players to graduation in two-time All-Conference USA performer Gary Flowers, two-time All-Defensive Team member Sai’Quon Stone, and Josimar Ayarza. Redshirt senior Torye Pelham is the Golden Eagles’ leading returning forward. Pelham averaged 4.7 points and 2.6 rebounds through the first seven games before missing the rest of the season due to a broken wrist. Senior Ahyaro Phillips also returns to the squad. Phillips played in 25 games last year, starting two. He averaged 2.5 points and 2.5 rebounds while playing 8.9 minutes a game. Southern Miss has also added three newcomers to the frontcourt mix in Keith DeWitt (High Point, N.C.), Jonathan Mills (Chicago) and Christian Robbins (Columbia, Miss.). Dewitt was the No. 2-rated player by JucoJunction.com after leading Chipola to a 23-4 record and being named First Team All-Panhandle Conference. Mills was named First Team All-Region 18 at College of Eastern Utah while leading the Scenic West Athletic Conference with 11.0 rebounds. He also placed ninth with 13.5 points, third in

UC IRVINE ANTEATERS

o characterize the UC Irvine basketball team as youthful is quite an understatement, as the Anteaters are very possibly the youngest squad in NCAA Division I this season, with eight freshmen, no seniors and an average of 0.71 years of collegiate experience per player on the roster. Second-year head coach Russell Turner, who previously served six years on the staff of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, had the highest-scoring team in the Big West Conference last season at 75.3 points per game, UCI’s highest average in 16 seasons. With the top three scorers gone from last year’s team that finished 13-19 overall and 6-10 in the league, the top two returning scorers for the ’Eaters are juniors Michael Wilder and Daman Starring. Wilder, at 6-2, had to play power forward for much of last season due to injuries, and he averaged 9.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. He led UCI with 53 three-point field goals and ranked 10th in the Big West with a shooting percentage of .379 from beyond the arc. Starring, a 6-3 swingman, averaged 7.4 points and 3.2 boards in his first season with the ’Eaters after transferring from Centenary (La.) College. He had 15 points and seven rebounds in a late-season, double-overtime win over Pacific that secured a berth in the Big West Tournament. Chris McNealy, a 6-3 sophomore guard, played in 31 games as a true freshman last season, averaging 5.0 points per game, and junior point guard Derrick Flowers saw action in all 32 games, recording 25 assists and 11 steals. Adam Folker, a 6-9 redshirt junior, missed the 2010-11 regular season with injuries after averaging 4.2 rebounds as a sophomore in 200910, while Kevin Mulloy, a 6-6 redshirt freshman, will also be looked upon to fortify the frontcourt. Mulloy will be anxious to show his skills after earning two Pacific View League Player of the Year honors as a prep at Oxnard (Calif.) High. An ample list of highly regarded freshmen from the high school ranks make up over half of the UCI roster. Collin Woods, a 6-1 guard, was 5A Desert

SEAWOLF ATHLETICS

UAA Athletics ranks among nation’s best

hen 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 skiing, women’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s outdoor track & field – all compete under the Division II banner. The Seawolves put up the greatest single season in program history in 2010-11, qualifying 10 of 11 teams for postseason competition, including NCAA appearances for nine squads. In the NACDA Director’s Cup, which measures overall national success, UAA finished 26th of 281 Div. II schools to place in the top 10 percent. Coming off its best season under the guidance of seventh-year coach Dave Shyiak, the Seawolf hockey team plays in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, widely considered the sport’s premier conference, having produced 37 NCAA champions in the last 59 years. Last March, the Seawolves stunned Minnesota to earn their second-ever WCHA Final Five appearance and this October recaptured the title of their own Kendall Hockey Classic with a thrilling overtime victory over St. Cloud State. 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. Under longtime head coach Paul Stoklos, the Seawolves have produced 12 All-Americans and are regularly among the nation’s best in the classroom. On the cross country trails, veteran coach Michael Friess has established both his men’s and women’s squads as national contenders year-in and year-out. The Seawolf women and men both made it an incredible 2-year run as both GNAC and West Region champions this year. Individually, Junior Micah Chelimo won the men’s individual crown in both races, while senior Ruth Keino did the same for the women. Keino, UAA’s reigning Bill MacKay Athlete of the Year, also became the first Seawolf woman to win a league or regional title. UAA’s volleyball team, led by fourth-year coach Chris Green, is enjoying a renaissance of sorts, qualifying for back-to-back NCAA appearances in 2009 and 2010. Led by hometown stars and all-conference performers Jackie Matthisen and middle blocker Robyn Burton, this year’s team is challenging again for playoff spot. 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 26 of the past 27 seasons. At the 2011 NCAA Ski Championships, UAA produced five All-Americans and posted a seventh-place team finish. Senior Nordic AllAmerican Jaime Bronga, another Anchorage native, and three-time Alpine All-American Alex Parker will anchor another strong team in 2012. The men’s and women’s basketball teams have re-risen to national prominence lately. 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 Seawolf women proved talented enough to repeat their feat in 2009. The women enter the 2011-12 campaign looking for their sixth straight NCAA berth, while the men are aiming for their fifth in seven years. Overall, the women’s team has advanced to the NCAA Tournament 11 times, while the men

have made 15 NCAAs. The Seawolf men have produced 10 All-Americans, and in 1988 they were the NCAA Division II runner-up. Perhaps nothing embodies UAA’s quick rise to prominence as much as its men’s and women’s track & field teams. Having competed as a fully sponsored sport since only 2005, the Seawolves have already produced 21 AllAmerica certificates, including an NCAA Div. II national title for Palmer native David Registe in the long jump. Last spring the UAA men finished 14th at NCAAs, marking their fourth straight top-20 national showing. While all these athletic accomplishments are quite impressive, Seawolf student-athletes have done something even more important. Over the last 18 years, the Seawolf teams have earned a composite grade point average over 3.0 15 times.

DR. STEVE COBB

Director of Athletics – Univ. of Alaska Anchorage

n 11 seasons at the helm of the University of Alaska Anchorage athletic department, Dr. Steve Cobb has helped take Seawolf Athletics to unprecedented heights. Not only have the Seawolves excelled in the field of competition, but the foundation for future success has been set in several ways. Starting with the 2007-08 campaign, UAA has enjoyed four of the most memorable athletic seasons in school history, highlighted by three Final Four appearances for Seawolf basketball teams (women twice, men once), plus NCAA top-15 finishes for men’s and women’s cross country (four times), skiing (four times), and men’s track & field (twice). In fact, with UAA’s concurrent NCAA basketball runs in 2008, UAA became just the second school in Division II history to qualify both its men’s and women’s squads for the national semifinals. Under Dr. Cobb’s leadership, ground soon will be broken on UAA’s planned $109 million Seawolf and Community Arena on campus. He has also overseen major upgrades to UAA’s current facilities, including the installation of a new gym floor and bleachers at the Wells Fargo Sports Complex in 2010. In 2005, 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. Seawolf Legacy surpassed the $1 million mark in donations in early 2008. Early in his tenure, he was the driving force behind the establishment of the Seawolf Hall of Fame and was instrumental in negotiating naming-rights agreements for the Wells Fargo Sports Complex, Kendall Hockey Classic and Extended Stay Deluxe Invitational volleyball tournaments. The Alabama native has also overseen the creation of the Hockey Classic Wall of Champions above the Seawolves’ practice rink, as well as men’s and women’s Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout champions displays in the gymnasium. 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’ overall program to become one of the most successful in the nation, making the NAIA national playoffs in six of its seven sports and winning multiple conference championships in men’s and women’s basketball, softball and volleyball. From 1992-95, Dr. Cobb was an assistant athletic director at Iowa Wesleyan College, where he served as the football team’s defensive coordinator and special teams coach. He also had stints as an assistant football coach at East Texas State University (1990-92) and Sul Ross State University (1988-90). A 1981 graduate of the University of Montevallo, Dr. Cobb also holds a Doctorate of Education degree from East Texas State as well as a Master of Business Administration degree from St. Ambrose University and a Master of Education degree from Sul Ross State. Dr. Cobb and his wife Sandra reside in East Anchorage.

MUNICIPALITY OF

ANCHORAGE W

ith city boundaries that stretch to nearly the size of the state of Delaware, more than 275,000 people are lucky to call Anchorage home. On a global scale, Anchorage is located as far north as Helsinki, Finland, and as far west as Honolulu, Hawaii. Anchorage is Alaska’s largest city (more than four times larger than the second-largest town), an international air crossroads, and the business and cultural center of the state. Almost 300 flights arrive daily at Anchorage International Airport. Anchorage is a recreational paradise as well, boasting more than 14,000 acres of parkland and nearly 300 miles of paved and wilderness biking, skiing and hiking trails. In addition, the city sports dozens of

lakes, softball, baseball and soccer fields, tennis and basketball courts, and six scenic golf courses. Chugach State Park is located 15 minutes from downtown Anchorage. With 495,000 acres, Chugach is the third-largest state park in the United States and offers a variety of year-round recreation, including hiking, mountain biking, camping, cross country skiing and wildlife viewing. Due to the warming effects of the Pacific Ocean currents and protection from the Chugach Mountains, Anchorage is located in Alaska’s so-called banana belt. Anchorage’s climate resembles that of San Francisco in the summer (highs of 75 degrees) and a Rocky Mountain ski resort in the winter (lows of 20

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 has 39 different mountain ranges, three of which can be seen from Anchorage. The 49th State is home to Mt. McKinley, the highest peak in North America (20,320 feet). Located in the heart of Denali National Park and Preserve, ‘The Great One’ is over 200 miles north of Anchorage and can be seen from the city on clear days. Denali National Park is over six million acres and features great wildlife viewing and colorful wilderness expanses.

degrees). Low humidity also contributes to Anchorage’s comfortable climate. The residents of the city share the Anchorage bowl with more than 1,000 Moose, which are often seen on UAA’s campus throughout the year. In addition, black bears, grizzlies, foxes, wolves, lynx, wolverines, Dall sheep and bald eagles are just some of the animals that make their homes here. Salmon fishing is more than a pastime to Anchorage residents. Red and King salmon can be caught from the many rivers and creeks that run through the city.
