4 2 Nobody ever expected that a move to Division I would be easy. Growing pains and bumps along the road were expected when the move to reclassify was decided upon. The season proved to be a tough road, as the University of Northern Colorado men s basketball team won only six games in 28 attempts against a schedule that did not feature an overwhelming amount of D- I games. The season was made extra tough by the fact that three players that would have been counted upon heavily for leadership and for their playing abilities (Kirk Archibeque, Parish Brockman, Sean Nolen) suffered season-ending injuries and a fourth player (James Randle) decided to redshirt to bulk up and be ready to compete against a full Division I schedule this season. That left the Bears bench so small that a pair of student managers were asked to join the team in order to give UNC enough players with which to practice. But times have changed and the Bears hope to be at full strength for all of the season, their second of a four-year reclassification process to Division I. Three returning starters and the five redshirts join a class of six talented newcomers who should give Northern Colorado plenty of depth and firepower this season. We knew the transition would be tough and we knew if we sat a few of our top kids it would limit our opportunities to win, said Rasmuson, who begins his sixth season as Bears head coach in But the injuries really hurt us. We will be a lot more competitive this season, but the schedule is tougher than we could have ever imagined. We do have some teams on our schedule though that we can beat and as long as we take care of those games we can keep our confidence high. That schedule includes five teams (Air Force, Gonzaga, Syracuse, Texas Tech and Utah) that made the 2004 NCAA Tournament and two others (Iowa State and Oklahoma) who were NIT participants. The Bears also match up with in-state rivals Colorado State and Denver and regional rivals Montana State, New Mexico and Oral Roberts. The schedule also includes five fellow Division I Independents in IPFW, Longwood, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Texas-Pan American and Utah Valley State. The schedule is obviously challenging, Rasmuson added. We will get a first-hand experience in what big-time Division I basketball is all about. Our players are excited to play this challenging schedule; every athlete wants to compete at the highest level and we are giving our players an opportunity to do that. This should bring great exposure to the University of Northern Colorado and make a statement that we are taking this Division I challenge very seriously. You will be hardpressed to find any mid-level Division I team playing a schedule this challenging. The team will be run by Senior point guard Sean Nolen has a chance to become the program s all-time assists leader in Nolen, the redshirt senior point guard. Nolen was an allconference selection two years ago when he averaged 18.1 points per game. He played in six games last season before suffering a foot injury. During that limited time, however, he did manage to break the school record for assists in a game (14) and averaged 6.8 assists a contest in those six games. He already owns school records for threepointers made in a season (75) and consecutive free throws made (44) and will join the schools 1,000 point club early in the season. Season Preview Sophomore Matt Kline averaged 8.4 points and 2.1 assists per game last season. He also has a legitimate chance to become the program s all-time leader in assists, three-pointers made and attempted and steals. Sean brings a lot of leadership and court awareness back into our lineup, Rasmuson said. Two years ago we had to rely on his scoring ability, but with a nice stable of players around him this season we hope he can be a distributor for us and help initiate our offense and defense. Nolen will be joined in the backcourt by sophomore Matt Kline and freshman Jared Lewis. Kline is more of a shooting guard than a true point guard but ran the offense last season after Nolen was injured. Kline started 23 of 28 games as a true freshman and averaged 8.4 points and 2.1 assists per game while shooting over 40 percent from the floor. Lewis, a pure athlete, does not yet have a true position on the floor, but his athleticism should make him a factor in the rotation. Another freshman, Thanasi Panagiotakopoulos, could also see time at the point guard slot. Panagiotakopoulos, the longest name in UNC basketball history, is also a dead-eye shooter who will help stretch opponent s defenses. The two-guard spot will see the redshirt senior Brockman and true freshman Sean Taibi battle for playing time. Brockman played in only two games last year before bowing out for the season with injuries. He did, however, have a memorable preseason game at Colorado State, scoring 15 points for the Bears. Brockman, one of the best perimeter rebounders on the team, gives the guard spot good size and increased rebounding capabilities. Taibi, rated by The Sporting News as the No. 1 player in the state of Colorado, was an all-state selection, and the state three-point shooting champion. He was also named the MVP of The Show prep all-star game in April. He comes from a good genetic lineage, as his father and uncle each played professional football. Sean is probably the most accolated recruit we have had here, Rasmuson said. He is a very good shooter and scorer, handles the ball well and he will be counted upon greatly as a true freshman. I think our guards have a great ability to shoot the basketball which will help us extend opponents defenses, Rasmuson said. We will be tougher and deeper in the backcourt this season. They are also extremely competitive and very resilient. At the wing spot, junior Erik Olson will once again be a mainstay at the position, as he was the only player to start all 28 games a year ago. A Division I All-Independent selection after averaging 11.6 points and 1.9 assists per game, Olson led the Bears in

5 Season Preview As a sophomore, Erik Olson led the team in rebouding (7.1/game) last season. rebounding last season (7.1/game) despite being only 6 4" tall. Entering the season he has started 30 consecutive games, making him one of the most experienced team members as well as a seasoned team leader. Olson, along with Nolen, improved his game this summer by traveling with an Athletes in Action team to China. E.O. had a great offseason, Rasmuson said. His body continues to get better, his outside shooting is improving and we may even play him at the two spot some this year if we decide to go with a big lineup. I expect him to have a better junior season than a sophomore campaign, because all the pressure is off him this year. Olson is joined at the small forward spot by a duo of talented newcomers. Freshman Michael Gordy was the Gatorade Colorado High School Player of the Year after averaging over 30 points per game his senior season. Gordy, who can play either forward spot, rebounds and passes the ball extremely well, and recorded a pair of triple-doubles last year including a 39-point, 19-rebound and 13-assist performance. He also set the Adidas Big Time AAU Tournament single-game scoring record by posting 57 points in a game prior to his senior season. Michael is a true tweener, Ramuson said. His size makes him a three but his ability makes him a four. He is very good around the basket and strong as a bull. He is going to be a tough matchup this season for opponents defenses. Willy Youtchou, a native of Clichy, France, is the other newcomer at the wing spot. Youtchou is the first native Frenchman to play for the Bears and transferred from Monroe College in N.Y. With his 6 6" long frame, he will bring athleticism and a nice outside shooting touch with him to Northern Colorado. At the power forward spot Randle, another long and talented player, returns after redshirting last year in order to increase his strength. As a junior in , Randle averaged 5.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 25 games. The top leaper on the Bears squad, Randle earned Division II All-American honors with a fourth place finish in the high jump at the 2003 NCAA Championships by clearing He has also honed his outside shooting touch and will give the Bears an added dimension of versatility with his inside-outside game. Alongside Randle will be sophomore Trei Steward. Steward started 22 games as a freshman, averaging 4.5 points and 3.6 rebounds per contest and shooting an impressive 55.8 percent from the field. Steward will need to keep his weight down and stay in shape to be a regular contributor in But if he does that, his soft hands and touch combined with his ability to run the floor will make him an impact player. We are very young in the post, Rasmuson said. But with Randle s leadership and his and Youtchou s athleticism, we will be very versatile. We have a nice compliment of post players; we just need them to mature in a hurry. The center spot will be filled by the redshirt freshman Archibeque, freshman Brian Yarbrough and senior transfer Tiberius Lee. Archibeque, who stands 6 9", started the first six games of last season before a leg injury kept him out of the lineup the remainder of the season. In those six games he averaged 9.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game while shooting 57.5 percent from the field. Kirk had a wonderful off-season after being medically cleared to play, Rasmuson said. He is a big, strong player whose body and skill keeps getting better. Having the experience of playing in six games last year then watching from the bench the remainder of the season will hopefully get him ready to come racing out the gates this season. The 6 10", 255-pound Yarbrough led the state in blocked shots last season on his way to all-state honorable mention honors. His size will be an immediate asset to the program in filling up the lane. Yarbrough is not yet a prolific scorer but he does all the other things in the post well, though, despite only playing organized basketball for three years. At 6 10, 250 pounds, Lee rounds out the Bears roster. A transfer from Hartnell College (the same school Randle came from), Lee sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules. His large frame and long arms give UNC another quality post player. First and foremost I think depth will be one of our strengths this season, Rasmuson commented. We also have some experience back after our young kids were thrown to the wolves last season. As long as we are healthy, then we can play a lot of different ways this year. With the newcomers we have signed, we have the most talented and highly regarded class, on paper, that we have ever seen at UNC. Our lack of experience against a full Division I schedule will be a weakness, Rasmuson added. We have a handful of guys that played against that level of competition last year and others who sat on the sideline and watched, but until you have lived through it you just do not know what that level of competition is all about. All of these factors should make for both an exciting and challenging year for the Bears in After losing only four contributors from a season ago, the squad will be looking to mix an energetic influx of youth with a group of players who have played and practiced with each other for the past couple of years. Everything with our program, aside from the number of wins, is flying high, Rasmuson said. The type of players we are able to attract, our graduation rates and our community service efforts are all where I want them to be. I set goals in those areas five years ago when I arrived and we have surpassed the goals in each of those areas. However, the area we are evaluated in the hardest is wins and loses, and we have to pick that up. We will be extremely confident no matter who we are playing this year. Our players are resilient and they will shake off a tough year last season and give it their all this year. 3 Center Kirk Archibeque played in six games before suffering a season-ending injury last season.

Beginning the program s transition to Division I last year, Rasmuson saw his squad endure injuries to four starters that ended their season prematurely and the Bears were eventually forced to add a pair of managers to the roster so they would have enough players for practice and finished the season 6-22 overall. I am glad last season is over, said Rasmuson who is entering his sixth year with UNC. We knew the transition would be tough and we knew if we redshirted a few of our top kids it would limit our opportunities to win last season but the injuries really compounded it for us. But Rasmuson is nothing but excited as his squad prepares for their second season of the four-year reclassification process to Division I. All four of the starters that were injured last season return, along with senior James Randle who sat out last season to get stronger to play against a tough schedule, junior Erik Olson (the team s leading rebounder from a season ago) and a group of talented freshmen. Our players are very resilient, Rasmuson echoed. They are so excited about the upcoming season and they want to play against the best, which they are going to get to do this upcoming season. Hopefully we will be a lot more competitive this season, however, at the same time the schedule is tougher than we could ever have imagined and some of the same experiences as last year could be in the future for us. Despite playing a tough schedule in that saw UNC travel to the likes of Colorado, Iowa State, Loyola Marymount and Rutgers and play a total of only nine home games, Rasmuson did reach a milestone on the Bears bench, as UNC defeated Johnson & Wales on Feb. 21 to give the coach his 50 th win as UNC head coach. Overall, Rasmuson enters the season with a record at UNC and a record in 10 years as a head coach. Besides the number of wins we have, everything in the program is flying high and right where we want it, said Rasmuson. The type of players we are able to attract, the type of people they are off the court, graduation rates, and community service is everywhere we want it to be. I set a goal five years ago and we have surpassed that mark in those areas. But the area we are evaluated in the hardest is wins and losses and we have to pick that up. The was tough in many ways, including the

7 Coaching Staff amount of traveling the squad had to do. The Bears punched their frequent flyer cards many times during the course of the season, as the team traveled 21,331 miles by season s end. And Rasmuson went through all this with a very young coaching staff, as the staff s average age of 29.8 years made them the second youngest group of coaches in all of Division I (trailing only Lehigh s 29.3 average). But the interest at home remained strong as during the season the largest crowd (1,576) in 13 years came to Butler-Hancock Hall to watch the Bears battle Utah Valley State. Rasmuson inherited a UNC program that had fallen on hard times in recent years. The Bears have endured 10 losing seasons since , but Rasmuson led the Bears to a season in in only his third season on the bench. That marked only the second winning season for the program in the past 13 seasons. In , Rasmuson hit a career milestone when he earned his 100 th career victory in his ninth season on the bench as a head coach. The milestone was achieved with a victory over Adams State on Nov. 26. Rasmuson also coached in his 100 th game on the Bears bench on Feb. 8 at South Dakota. Previous to UNC, Rasmuson spent five seasons as head coach at Lincoln Memorial University, an NCAA Division II school in Harrogate, Tenn. In , the Railsplitters earned a share of the Gulf South Conference Eastern Division Championship by going and 11-3 in league play. Overall, Rasmuson s record at LMU was (.500). In , he was named Gulf South Conference Co-Coach of the Year as his squad went 19-8 and headed to the league s postseason tourney for the first time in school history. During that year, LMU also made several appearances in the NCAA II South Regional Poll, moving as high as No. 4 late in the season. While at LMU, Rasmuson coached two All-Americans, eight allconference selections and 11 all-academic performers. In fact, LMU claimed the Gulf South Conference Freshman of the Year in and Prior to being named head coach at Lincoln Memorial in 1994, Rasmuson spent three seasons as an assistant on the LMU staff. He helped guide the Railsplitters to consecutive winning seasons from During the season, Rasmuson served on the staff of Ben Braun (now head coach at Cal-Berkeley) at Eastern Michigan University. EMU claimed a Mid-American Conference title that year with a record of 26-7 and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, notching victories over Mississippi State and Penn State along the way. Rasmuson also had a two-year stint ( ) as a student assistant coach at Ashland (Ohio) University. While completing his bachelor s degree, he helped the Eagles to two conference titles and a top-20 NCAA II national ranking. Ashland also made two NCAA II tournament appearances during that time. A 1990 graduate of Ashland, Rasmuson earned his B.S. degree in criminal justice and sociology. He played two years of basketball before moving into the coaching ranks as an undergraduate. In 2004, Rasmuson served as one of 24 Division I coaches who served as NCAA Youth Education through Sports (YES) Clinic instructors Exceling in the classroom Besides providing his players with an excellent onthe-court education in basketball, head coach Craig Rasmuson makes sure his players truly define the term student-athlete. In his 10 years as a collegiate head coach (five at Lincoln Memorial and five at Northern Colorado), 23 of 28 players (including nine of 11 at UNC) who have exhausted their eligibility have received their bachelor s degree (4/5) Gary Barnes Bill Cain Preston Scott Jesse Watkins none (6/6) DeWayne Gordon Lucas Johnson Mark Mattson Mickey Stewart Terrence Washington James Wells (1/2) Corey Wilson (3/4) Toron Clark Bobby Huntley Kendrick Wallace (3/3) Pierre Elize Dean Grable Carlos Martinez (2/3) Maseo Grant Mike Sehringer (1/2) Jared Ramirez (1/1) Kevin Knudson (2/2) Bryson Gholston Heath Orvis 5

Rasmuson, 36, is a native of Victor, N.Y. and is married to the former Jennifer Mitchell of Ypsilanti, Mich. The couple has two children, Ella Shea (born 11/8/ 96) and Mitchell Craig (born 2/10/01). COMMUNITY SERVICE When he is not fulfilling the many roles a Division I head basketball coach has to do, Craig Rasmuson is very active in the Greeley community, giving back through many different community service endeavors. He also has his team give back, as the men s basketball studentathletes compete in many community services events each year.

The Bears won both contests (84-71 and 65-61) against the Mountaineers. UNC and WSC have played 130 times since the the season, the second most among all Northern Colorado opponents (UNC and Colorado Mines have played 137 times).

33 Review 31 Although the final record for the University of Northern Colorado men s basketball team is not what the staff wanted when they began the season, the campaign was the beginning of their odyssey to the ranks of Division I basketball. Along the way the team suffered numerous bad breaks, both of the injury variety and in game situations, and finished the season with a 6-22 record against a schedule that featured several high-quality teams and required the team to travel more than 21,000 miles by season s end. Hopes were high to start the season as the Bears roster included a group of five seniors that would help lead the team against a schedule that featured the likes of Iowa State and Rutgers. But within the first six games of the season four players would suffer injuries that would end their seasons and a fifth player, James Randle, was redshirted so the team could have his physical presence against an even tougher schedule in As for the injuries, junior Ari Zandman Zeman suffered a knee injury in the preseason, senior Parish Brockman was lost to a knee injury after just two games, senior Sean Nolen required foot surgery six games into the season and freshman big man Kirk Archibeque did not return after suffering a leg injury after six games. This forced a group of three freshmen and four sophomores to take an even larger role that expected. The team began their season with an exhibition contest against Colorado State, a local rival located just 30 minutes west of Greeley. The Rams were coming off a season where they went to the NCAA Tournament and returned 7 0 junior Matt Nelson in the middle. The Bears were not intimidated by Moby Arena and led CSU by nine points at one part of the first half and were up at the break before the bigger and more physical Rams were able to pull away and win Erik Olson led the Bears team in rebounding in , grabbing just over seven rebounds per contest during his sophomore season. The season began for real four days later as UNC defeated Western State in the opening game of the Adams State Jalisco Hoops Classic. The Bears almost improved to 2-0 but came up just short against Adams State in game number two. That tough loss started a string of tough defeats for the Bears, who fell by a deuce to Colorado Mines in their home opener after the Orediggers hit two free throws with four seconds left. The Bears did, however, blast NAIA Kendall College in their second home game to even their season record at 2-2. In that game, Nolen dished out 14 assists setting a new UNC single-game record, breaking the previous mark of 13 that had stood for almost 20 years. UNC then lost back-to-back games to Colorado Christian and Regis, both of which were games they probably should have won. That began a stretch of nine losses in a row as the team adjusted to life without the five players they thought they would have when practice began in October. The stretch also featured the squads first games against Division I teams, as the Bears traveled to Texas State, Eastern Michigan and in-state Denver for big matchups. At Texas State, UNC trailed by five at the half and were close the entire game but were unable to get over the final hump and pull out the victory. EMU also defeated the Bears and the 2003 calendar year came to an end with a loss at DU, although the Bears were neck-and-neck with the Pioneers for most of the game. The Bears did take away the solace that each of those teams have to pay a return visit to Greeley next season to face a UNC squad at full strength. The losing streak finally came to an end with the first game of 2004, as the Bears played one of their better games of the season in defeating Adams State and avenging their earlier loss to the Grizzlies. UNC shot 55.6 percent in the first half and increased that to 60.0 percent in the second half on their way to the win. Following a heartbreaking loss to CU-Colorado Springs, where the team was only 1-9 from the charity stripe, the toughest part of the schedule finally arrived. The Bears traveled to Boulder to face Colorado, another team fresh off a NCAA appearance in 2003 that also featured a 7 0 center, this time All-American candidate David Harrison. From the start the Big 12 Buffs, playing against UNC for the first time in 25 years and for only the second time in the past 67 seasons, used their athleticism and height to overpower the Bears. UNC shot just 29.8% for the game and Harrison scored 18 points in 23 minutes to lead CU to a victory.

34 Review Most teams would have days to prepare for their next opponent but the Bears left on a flight the next day to Ames, Iowa to battle the Iowa State Cyclones on a game televised by ESPN + and the ESPN Full Court package, marking the first-time ever a UNC game was available to a nationwide audience. Early on in the contest it was the Michael Frazier show, as the junior sharpshooter hit 5-5 three-pointers in the first six minutes of the game as the Bears quieted the Hilton Coliseum crowd and excited the television audience as UNC led But the Cyclones would bring the Bears back to reality as they caught UNC late in the first half and went on to win the game Frazier finished the game 7-12 from three-point range tying the UNC record for three-point attempts in a contest and consecutive three-pointers made with six. The crowd of 11,174 was the second biggest crowd ever to see a UNC game. A loss at Regis was followed up by the first of three meetings against Utah Valley State, another first-year Division I Provisional team, although the Wolverines are making the leap from junior college to D-I. A crowd of 1,576 fans, the largest in 13 years at Butler-Hancock Hall, came out to support the Bears who led Utah Valley by nine points with 5:06 to play in the game. But UVSC s Ronnie Price took over the game leading his squad to a come-from-behind victory on the way to 33 total points. UNC then headed to the state of California for the first time in 13 years, this time to battle Loyola Marymount. LMU exploited the Bears thin interior line as Sherman Gay scored 20 points, including five dunks in the first half, on the way to the victory. A home game with Colorado College on Jan. 29 produced the Bears first win in seven games as UNC shot 64.4 percent from the field, their highest total since a span of 463 games, and held the Tigers to only 50 points, the lowest total for an opponent in four years. UNC ran its winning streak to two games for the first time since December of 2002 with a thriller over first-year program Texas A&M- International in Laredo. UNC led by seven at halftime, shot 73.9 percent (17-23) from the field in the second half and sophomore Chris Gebhardt hit a runner in the lane with three seconds left to give the Bears the one-point win despite the fact they committed 28 turnovers in the contest. The road victory was the first for UNC in almost a calendar year. A loss to fellow Division I Independent Texas A&M-Corpus Christi followed the International game and then UNC headed to the east coast to play a team from a state that touched the Atlantic Ocean for the first-time in school history, Rutgers. While the Bears had seen plenty of athletic teams all season long, they were not prepared for what awaited them at The RAC, as a rowdy crowd over 4,500 saw their team, competing for a NCAA Tournament berth, hit a school record 14 trifectas on the way to the victory, marking the first time in 95 games the Bears allowed 100-plus points in a game. RU s Ricky Shields was particularly hot, hitting on 5-5 three-pointers to start the game and scoring 21 points. The team s next test was a little easier, as the squad returned home for the ninth and final home game of the season. The game was the last for lone departing senior Bryson Gholston, who scored eight points and grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds in his home finale as UNC won and head coach Craig Rasmuson recorded his 50 th win as UNC head coach. A long bus ride to Utah Valley State followed, as the team dropped a decision to the Wolverines as Price scored a career-high 38 points for UVSC. The two teams would then meet a week later as the season ended at the National Provisional Tournament on the campus of Florida Gulf Coast University in Ft. Myers, Fla. The tournament brought together FGCU, Utah Valley State, Longwood and UNC, four teams who are all making a move up to a higher division. Although UNC was in the first two meetings of the year with the Wolverines, they were never in the third meeting. Keying on Price, the Bears allowed Utah Valley s Ryan Toolson to hit seven three-pointers and the team fell by 30 points. That set up a season-ending matchup with Longwood, who had lost their opening contest to the host Eagles. Early on the Bears played with more energy and desire than they had all season and led with 8:37 to go after capping a 14-0 run with a Frazier bucket. The Bears were rebounding, playing tough defense and getting out on the fast break, but they hit a wall and the Lancers slowly pulled back into the game. UNC led at the break but scored only one bucket over a five minutes stretch early in the second half as Longwood used a 19-2 run to pull within one point. Over the stretch LU made the big plays and escaped with a victory in the Bears season finale. Vincent Jackson, who joined the Bears four games into the season after finishing his All-American football season, finished as the team s leading scorer at 13.6 points per game. He also averaged 5.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per contest and was fourth on the team with 24 steals. His performance garnered him second-team Division I All- Independent honors. Sophomore Erik Olson, who had a career-high 20 points in three different games in , was third in scoring (11.6) and led the team in rebounding (7.1) on his way to honorable mention All-Independent honors. Frazier s 12.2 points were second most of the team while his 59 three-pointers were tops among Bears shooters. In the point guard roles, freshman Matt Kline and sophomore Chris Gebhardt combined for 126 assists after taking over for the injured Nolen. Senior Bryson Gholston completed his two-year career at UNC by averaging five points per game; he scored a career-high 15 points at Texas A&M-International.

36 34 Division I Independents As the Bears began their move to reclassify to Division I, they were joined by six other teams who were competing as independents during the year, IPFW, Longwood, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Texas-Pan American and Utah Valley State. Longwood and Utah Valley State were in the same process of reclassifying, while the other schools were already full D-I squads. At the end of the season, coaches and sports information directors voted on an All-Independent squad.
