Why Spartans... The first athletic teams at USC Upstate were fielded in1967.CalledtheFightingBantams,thoseearlyteamsworegarnetandblackandplayedtheirbasketballgamesinalocaljuniorhighschoolgymnasium. In 1970-71, the University took its first of two steps todistinguishitselffromUSCColumbiabychangingtheschoolcolorsfromgarnetandblacktopurpleandwhite.Ayearlater,theUniversitychangeditsnicknametotheSpartan Rifles in honor of a local militia unit that played an integralpartintheRevolutionaryWar,winninganimpor-tant victory at the Battle of Cowpens. Though the official nickname was the Spartan Rifles, the athletic teams were known as just the Rifles. The USCS athletic teams were known as the Rifles from 1971-2004. In 2004, theUniversity of SouthCarolinaBoard ofTrusteespassedaresolutiontorenametheUniversityinSpartanburgastheUniversityofSouthCarolinaUpstate.InamovetohelpbetterbrandtheUniversityanditsimage,the official nickname of the school was changed to the Spartans.Thenamecontinuestopayhomagetothemilitiaunit known as the Spartan Rifles, though the nickname has been modified to emphasize the first portion of the militia unit’snameinsteadofthelast.

The following is the story filed by the late Steve Sanders for the Spartanburg Herald-Journal af-ter USC Spartanburg’s 51-38 vic-tory over Biola in the 1982 NAIA National Championship game in Kansas City, Mo.

By Steve Sanders

Kansas City, Mo. – USC Spartanburg accomplishedwhatnooneelsewasable todo thisseason,beatBiola,as the Rifles took a 51-38 victory for the 45th annual NAIA Tournament Championship at Kemper Arena Saturdaynight. Biola, of LaMiranda, Calif., was the tournament’s top-seed and top-ranked in regular season and took a 39-0recordintothechampionshipgame. However,theEagleshadn’treckonedwithatoughUSCSpartanburgdefensethathadstoodingoodsteadthrough-outthetournament. USC Spartanburg became the first South Carolina team to ever win the NAIA title and the first Southern team to win itallsinceWestGeorgiain1974. “Itmayhitmetomorrow,”saidUSCScoachJerryWatersofthechampionship.“IthanktheGoodLordforgivingmetheopportunitytocoachateamlikethisone.” Waters,inonlyhissecondseasonatUSCS,isnostrang-ertowinningstatechampionships.HeledMiddletonHighSchoolofCharlestontofourstatechampionships.

The Rifles held Biola in check until the 1:19 mark and it wasalloverbuttheshouting. Mike Gibson, like his teammates suffered through ashooting slump in the first half, had four key baskets in the second half and finished with 20 points. “I was a little too tight in the first half,” said Gibson. “The coachtoldus inthe locker-roomthatwecouldbeattheseguys.Wecameoutmorerelaxedinthesecondhalfandmyjumperbeganfallingforme.” Biola,whichhit42.5percentofitsshots,rusheditsshotsafter USCS’ spurt and the Rifles were on the spot for the key rebounds. “Itwasacombinationofourineffectivenessagainsttheir1-3-1halfcourtpressuredefense,missedfreethrowsandthe shots not dropping in the first half that hurt us,” said Biolaco-headcoachHowardLyon. TheEagleshitonlyfourofninefreethrows,allofthemin the first half and most of them coming early when the Californianscouldhavemanagedasixorsevenpointleadwiththefreethrows. “The shooting got better in the second half but notenoughtograbtheleadandholdit,”saidLyon.“USCSwasbetterthanweweretonight.” The victory was the fifth in the tournament that the Rifles won by 10 points or more and finished their championship seasonwitha27-5record. Neither team could get untracked offensively in the first half as a layup by Biola’s Warren Ellis just under three

minutes into the game were the first points. A jumper by WendellGibsonatthe15:52markgotUSCSonthescore-board.

Since its inception, USC Upstate has had eight coaches man the sidelines for the men’s basketball program. Eldridge Blackwood was the program’s first coach and started the program in 1967. Blackwood gave way to Paul Mack who coached the team from 1968-69 and returned to finish the 1976-77 season. Dr. Joe Bowman, who many believe is the architect of the Upstate Athletic Department, was the first coach to log consecutive seasons at the school and remained the head coach from 1970-74. Bill Reitmeier ushered in the move to the NAIA and wastheheadcoachfrom1974-77.BillHinsontookovertheprogramin1977andcoachedthroughthe1979-80seasonbeforegivingwaytoAthleticsHallofFamememberJerryWaters. Waters won the NAIA National Championship in 1982 and coached the then-Rifles for 17 years, tallying 364 victories and a .732 winning percentage.

Willie Murdaugh (above and Willis Woodruff (below) were the backbone of the Upstate teams as the Univer-sity made the transition to NCAA Division II membership in 1990-91. Murdaugh averaged 16.5 points in 1990-91 to reach 1,000 points for his career and lead the Spar-tans into the NCAA Division II Tournament, one of five for Upstate during the NCAA DII years.
