MEN’S SHOOTOUT HISTORY Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout began as a dream of Bob Rachal, who coached the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves during the 1977-78 season. Rachal, who died of cancer in 1985, wanted to put a fledgling UAA basketball program on the map and do it in style. With a personality reminiscent of a 19th century riverboat gambler, he parlayed an NCAA rule that said games outside the contiguous 48 states didn’t count against your normal allotment of 28, plus the lure of Alaska itself, into a winning hand. The big gamble was whether the UAA and the community could attract big-name schools to the new tournament, in Alaska of all places. The gamble paid off. Coaches jumped at the chance to squeeze in three “free” games against top-flight competition, not to mention the recruiting possibilities a trip to Alaska afforded. The first Sea Wolf Classic was played in November of 1978 in the 4,000-seat Buckner Field House at Fort Richardson near Anchorage. Each two-game session drew a disappointing average of only 2,500 people, until fans filled the gym to capacity on Sunday night to see the Wolfpack from North Carolina State defeat Louisville to win the tournament’s first championship. 5Lamar’s B.B. Davis (right) and Alaska Anchorage’s Bo Jackson square off for the opening tip of the first Shootout game, Nov. 24, 1978, as UAA’s Tony Turner looks on. The inaugural event received national press attention and portions of the tournament were televised live to regional markets of the teams involved – a first for the state of Alaska. Most important, however, was the reaction of the visiting coaches, who praised the hospitality, the officiating and most of all, the level of competition. Even as the first Sea Wolf Classic ended, plans were being made for hosting the second tournament, pending a review of the three-day event by UAA officials. In the end, they declared that the Classic was a success and should continue. And in 1979 it did. Only it wasn’t the Sea Wolf Classic anymore. It was now called the Great Alaska Shootout – a name reportedly coined by television commentator Billy Packer during regional television broadcasts of the initial tourney. Kentucky, led by guard Kyle Macy, defeated Jeff Ruland-led Iona for the 1979 title. Regardless of the name, this holiday event was now well on its way to acceptance both at home and among the nation’s top hoops teams. Soon it was called “the best kept secret in basketball.” But the secret is out, and UAA’s sports program, the state of Alaska and major college basketball are all the better for it. In 1983, the Shootout moved from its original confines at Buckner into a newly constructed municipal sports facility in midtown Anchorage, the Sullivan Arena.

The $30 million facility gave the Shootout twice the number of seats and a classy new home. In the early 1990s the Shootout faced an obstacle that couldn’t be solved through local help alone. The NCAA passed legislation to push the start of the basketball season back to December 1, threatening the existence of the Thanksgiving tournament. But then-coach Harry Larrabee and former athletic director Ron Petro went to work, crisscrossing the country to gain support for an exemption for the Shootout. Fortunately for Anchorage basketball fans, their efforts were not in vain and the Great Alaska Shootout was granted the exemption it needed to continue as the premier in-season basketball tournament in the nation. In 1994 the event became the Carrs Great Alaska Shootout when Carr Gottstein Food, Inc., became the title sponsor of the event. With the purchase of Carrs by Safeway in 1999, the event is known today as the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. All told, 26 NCAA champions have taken part in the Shootout. The defending national champion has take part in the tournament five times, most recently Kentucky in 1996. North Carolina State was the first, starting the defense of its 1983 title in Anchorage. Two years later, Villanova played in the 1985 Shootout after winning a national title earlier that spring. Louisville (1986) and Kansas (1988) have also played in the Shootout after winning national titles – not bad timing for contracts that are often issued years in advance. In recent years the Shootout has served as a springboard to success for Final Four teams as well. The entire 2003 Final Four field featured teams who had made Shootout appearances since 1999 – Kansas (1999 champion), Syracuse (2000 champion), Marquette (2001 champion) and Texas (2001, 5th place). Indiana made the 2002 NCAA Final after placing third at the Shootout, while Duke, the 1998 Shootout runner-up team featuring Anchorage’s own Trajan Langdon, began its run to the 1999 Final Four here in Anchorage. In 1997-98 North Carolina began its trek to the Final Four at the Shootout as did Kentucky in 1996-97 and Duke in 2003-04. The 2004 Shootout saw one of the strongest fields ever, producing five NCAA Tournament teams – Alabama, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Utah and Washington. Both Oklahoma and Utah went on to win their leagues, while Washington earned a No. 1 seed for March Madness. 5With collegiate hoops legends such as Syracuse’s Rony Seikaly (above left) and Derrick Coleman (above right), Arizona’s Sean Elliott (above right) and Michigan’s Glen Rice (left), the 1987 Shootout featured one of the most star-studded and power-packed lineups in the tourney’s fabled history. Led by Elliott, Steve Kerr and Tom Tolbert, the Wildcats topped Sherman Douglas and the Orangemen 80-69 in that year’s title matchup. Of the 68 NCAA champions through 2007, only seven – Wisconsin, Holy Cross, CCNY, LaSalle, San Francisco, Loyola (Ill.) and Texas-El Paso (formerly Texas Western) – have not played in the Shootout at one time or another. The streak of consecutive NCAA champions that have played in the Shootout reached 41 straight with Florida’s win last March. From the beginning, the Shootout has attracted the attention of the nation’s sports press. Nearly every major daily newspaper and sports magazine has at one time or 2007 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout another staffed the event. Televised from its inception on a regional basis, the Shootout went live nationwide via the ESPN cable television network beginning in 1985 – a mutually beneficial relationship that continues today. In fact, it is safe to say that the tournament has generated more exposure for Alaska than any other single venture in the state’s history. Indeed, the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout is no secret anymore, but rather an event eagerly awaited annually by millions of basketball fans. 45 45 MEN’S SHOOTOUT NOTES YEAR 2003-04 2001-02 1998-99 1997-98 1996-97 1994-95 1988-89 1987-88 1982-83 1981-82 1980-81 1980-81 TEAM Duke Indiana Duke North Carolina Kentucky Oklahoma State Seton Hall Arizona Louisville Georgetown North Carolina Louisiana State SHOOTOUT FINISH Runner-up Third Runner-up Champion Champion Sixth Champion Champion Champion Sixth Champion Third NCAA FINISH Semifinals Runner-up Runner-up Semifinals Runner-up Semifinals Runner-up Semifinals Semifinals Runner-up Runner-up Fourth GoSeawolves.com Duke’s run to the 2004 NCAA Tournament semifinals made it 12 teams that have played in the Shootout and advanced to the Final 4 that same season: 4Five schools have begun defense of their NCAA title at the Shootout – North Carolina State (1983), Villanova (1985), Louisville (1986), Kansas (1988) and Kentucky (1996). In total, 10 teams have played in the Shootout on the heels of a Final 4 appearance the previous spring, including when NCAA finalists Kentucky and Syracuse met in the first round in 1996. 4The 2003 Final 4 featured teams that had all made Shootout appearances within the previous four seasons – Kansas (1999 champion), Syracuse (2000 champion), Marquette (2001 champion) and Texas (2001 5th place). 4In 29 years, 112 Shootout teams have qualified for the ensuing NCAA Tournament, meaning that on average half of the field makes the Big Dance. The 1985 Shootout produced a record seven NCAA qualifiers, while 1991 and 2006 were the only years that just one team (champion UMass in ‘91-92 and UAA in ‘06-07) made it to March Madness. 2007 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout 47 47 MEN’S SHOOTOUT NOTES GoSeawolves.com SEAWOLF GIANT KILLERS Although classified as an NCAA Division II basketball program, the Seawolves have never shied away from playing the best teams in college basketball. On more than a few occasions, they have proved to be giant killers against that tough competition. UAA regularly plays three to five games each season against Division I programs, and the team takes pride in its success against quality foes. Perhaps the most memorable moment in UAA basketball history came when the Seawolves knocked off No. 2-ranked Michigan 70-66 at the Utah Seiko Classic during the 1988-89 season. That season, the Wolverines won the NCAA title. The Seawolves annually play more Division I teams than any other program in Division II. Last season, UAA played South Carolina, Southern Illinois, and Southern Cal. Following is a list of the 39 Division I programs that have fallen victim to the Seawolves: Texas State Pacific Jackson State Auburn Texas Tech Penn State Lafayette California Washington Rhode Island Maine Canisius Wake Forest Samford Miami (Fla.) Dayton Weber State San Francisco Michigan Drexel Western Michigan Santa Clara Missouri Eastern Kentucky William & Mary Missouri-Kansas City Southern Illinois Grambling State Southern Methodist Montana High Point Tennessee New Mexico Houston Texas Nicholls State Idaho TCU Notre Dame Iona 4 Peter Bullock, the Shootout’s all-time scoring and rebound- ing leader, was part of Seawolf victories over Rhode Island, Montana (pictured), Texas State and Canisius.

UAA has also qualified for the NCAA D-II Tournament 13 times. 5Featuring a planetarium, vivarium and biomedical research laboratory, the $87 million Integrated Science Building at UAA is due for completion in summer 2009. a new level at the end of last season, averaging nearly seven points and five rebounds over the final seven games. Osborne also expects big things from a pair of players – local guards Doug Hardy and Lonnie Ridgeway – who redshirted last season. Hardy, a former two-time Class 4A state champ at Bartlett High, makes his Seawolf debut after playing a pair of seasons at D-I Idaho State. Ridgeway was likewise a twotime state champ in high school, at the 3A level, and should be one of the most athletic wing players in the GNAC for years to come. Another D-I transfer, Metlakatla native Chris Bryant returns to his home state for his senior season after playing three years at Drake. Bryant showed his abilities in the rugged Missouri Valley Conference by scoring in double digits 25 times and knocking down 120 treys in his time with the Bulldogs. Another sizeable guard, 6-4 Aussie Kevin White, brings more depth and talent to the Seawolf perimeter after redshirting his true freshman season at San Diego Christian.

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

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

The Bulldogs were picked to finish sixth in the nine-team Horizon League preseason poll (one voter picked Butler last), and that sentiment pretty much mirrored the evaluation in most of the preseason publications. That’s why there was considerable “head-scratching” in the college hoops world when the Bulldogs stood at center court at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 24 and collected the NIT Season Tip-Off Championship trophy. The moment capped a run that saw Butler post consecutive victories over Notre Dame, Indiana, Tennessee and Gonzaga. Butler went on to post a school- and Horizon League-record 29-7 campaign, a cochampionship in the Horizon League regular season and a trip to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Along the way, the Bulldogs were ranked in the top 25 for a school- and league-record 16 consecutive weeks. And although he losses two starters to graduation, new head coach Brad Stevens won’t have a shortage of talent in 2007-08. The Bulldogs return five of their top six scorers, including All-Horizon League guards A. J. Graves and Mike Green. Graves emerged as one of the premier backcourt players in the nation in 2006-07. The 6-1 guard led the Bulldogs in scoring with a 16.9 average, while posting the fourth-highest single-season point total (591) ever by a Butler junior. He earned honorable mention All-America honors and was named a first team Academic All-American. He was selected MVP of the NIT Season Tip-Off, earned first team All-League and All-District 10 honors and became the 31st player in Butler history to reach 1,000 points in his career. Green, a transfer from Towson, was named Horizon League Newcomer of the Year after leading the Bulldogs in assists (4.0) and rebounds (6.0) and finishing second on the squad in scoring (13.9). He became the first player in Butler history to record over Brad Stevens Head Coach A.J. Graves Senior guard DID YOU KNOW? 5The Bulldogs have posted 20 or more wins in nine of the last 11 seasons, including a school-record 29 victories in 2006-07. 5Butler ranks in the top 10 percent in the nation among four-year, private, liberal arts institutions in the number of undergraduates who earn a doctoral degree, according to a Franklin & Marshall College survey. 400 points, 200 rebounds and 100 assists in the same season. The two stellar guards will be joined by 6-5 returning starter Julian Betko, who was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA. Betko tied a Butler single-season record by starting all 36 games a year ago and was the team’s fifth-leading scorer (4.3). Rounding out Butler’s strong and deep senior class are 6-7 Pete Campbell and 67 Drew Streicher. Campbell wound up as Butler’s fourth-leading scorer (9.1) and was named to the Horizon’s All-Newcomer Team. He led the league in three-point shooting with a record .519 mark, and was second in threes per game (2.31). Streicher, tied Betko with games played (36), emerged as one of Butler’s top defenders. He led BU in blocked shots (0.4) and field goal shooting (.644).

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

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

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

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

Defensively, the Wolverines will have to rely on sophomore forward Ekpe Udoh, who will have to continue to be an intimidating force after blocking 67 shots as a freshman, especially if U-M is slow in its transition into the Beilein offense. Junior swingman Jevohn Shepherd, who averaged 1.9 points last season, will get a chance to show off improved offensive skills and is already considered one of the squad’s top perimeter defenders.

Texas Tech returns its second- and thirdleading scorers in seniors Martin Zeno (16.6 ppg) and Charlie Burgess (9.0 ppg) as well as seniors Esmir Rizvic and Tyler Hoffmeister of ESPN’s ‘Knight School’ fame. The 2006-07 Red Raiders were 21-13 and were the 13th Texas Tech squad to top the 20-win mark. It was also the 13th Tech squad to make the NCAA Tournament. At the helm of the Red Raider program, Bob Knight became the NCAA’s all-time winningest coach, passing Dean Smith’s 879 career wins on January 1, 2007, with a 70-68 win over New Mexico.

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

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

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