Born in 1971 in Spartanburg, the USC Upstate Spartans men’s basketball program has grown from small-college contender to a proud Division I member. After decades of success at the Division II level, the Spartans moved up in 2007, stacking 20-win seasons, earning postseason berths in the CIT, and celebrating Ty Greene’s 2015 ASUN Player of the Year while alumnus Torrey Craig reached the NBA. Annual Big South battles with in-state Presbyterian and perennial power Winthrop keep the schedule spicy, with cross-town dates against Wofford adding local bragging rights. Home games at the intimate G.B. Hodge Center, one of Division I’s coziest courts, are famously loud, students right on the baselines and Sparty stirring every run.
