Spartan Specs…

• Upstate head coach Eddie Payne is just one wins shy of 400 for his career.

• There have been 11 A-Sun Conference games decided in overtime or by four points or less so far this season, Upstate has been part of five of those.

• Thursday night, the Spartans became one of four teams to lock in their seeding for next week's A-Sun Tournament (Macon, Ga.; Feb. 29 - Mar. 3).  Upstate will be the tournament's No. 3 seed, while Belmont (1), Mercer (2) and Lipscomb (7) earned their tournament seeds as well.

• Torrey Craig (30 points) and Ty Greene (22) set new career-highs in the Spartans 87-74 win over FGCU (2/23/12).  Ricardo Glenn registered a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds.

• The Spartans sank a D-I era record 15 three-pointers against FGCU.  Torrey Craig led the way with eight, while Ty Greene (5), Mario Blessing (1) and Adrian Rodgers (1) also hit triples.

• Upstate trimmed a 14-point deficit at Belmont down to three before falling to the Bruins in Nashville, 88-79 (Feb. 20).

• Ty Greene led the Spartans with 18 points against the Bruins, while Adrian Rodgers (13), Ricardo Glenn (13) and Babatunde Olumuyiwa (11) also reached double-figures. 

• Upstate owned the advantage against Belmont in second-chance scoring (11-8) and bench scoring (26-19).

• The Spartans victory over Lipscomb (Feb. 18) was the first-ever for the club against an A-Sun foe in the state of Tennessee.  With the win and the ETSU loss at Belmont, the Spartans are assured of a spot in the top-three in the final A-Sun standings.

• Ty Greene scored a game-high 17 points including a step-back three-pointer as time expired to lead Upstate over Lipscomb, 62-61.  Greene finished 5-of-10 from the floor and 4-of-8 from beyond the arc.

• Babatunde Olumuyiwa also reached double-figures against the Bison as he tallied 13 points on a 6-for-8 effort from the floor.  Meanwhile, Jodd Maxey pulled down a career-high 11 rebounds.

• Torrey Craig is one of 25 finalists for the Lou Henson award that is given annually to the nation's top Mid-Major player.  Craig is the only A-Sun player to make the final cut.

• Since a 77-74 (OT) setback at Jacksonville Jan. 16, the Spartans have won eight of their last 10 contests. 

• Four different Spartans reached double-figures as Upstate cruised to a 77-52 win over North Florida (Feb. 13).  Adrian Rodgers led the way with 17 points, followed by Torrey Craig (15), Ty Greene (15) and Babatunde Olumuyiwa (10).

• Against the Ospreys, Upstate shot 50.0% from the floor (27-54), 61.5% from beyond the arc (8-13) and 75.0% at the charity stripe (15-20).  The Spartans opened the game with nine assists on their first 11 made baskets and the squad finished with 17 assists on 27 made field goals.
