SEAWOLF GIANT KILLERS GoSeawolves.com 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: Auburn Jackson State Pacific Texas State California Lafayette Penn State Texas Tech Canisius Maine Rhode Island Washington Dayton Miami (Fla.) Samford Wake Forest Drexel Michigan San Francisco Weber State Eastern Kentucky Missouri Santa Clara Western Michigan Grambling State Missouri-Kansas City Southern Illinois William & Mary High Montana Southern Methodist Houston New Mexico Tennessee Idaho Nicholls State Texas Iona Notre Dame TCU
