University of South Carolina Upstate

Mike Smith is the third member of the golden era of USCS men's basketball to be inducted into the school's Hall of Fame.

Smith began his career as a Rifle in 1982, the season after USCS won the NAIA National Championship. He was an essential part of the squad for three years. He ranks 10th on USCS' all-time scoring list with 1,177 points, having played in one less season than everyone above him on the list. He ranks among the school's all-time leaders in eight other statistical categories.

A three-time All-District Six selection, Smith led the Rifles to three 20-win seasons during his stint at USCS.

Smith is currently winding down an impressive professional basketball career playing internationally in Spain. A 12-year veteran, he has led his teams to two Spanish and European Championships.
