enacts its policies, procedures, and initiatives with both the letter and the
spirit of that purpose. The administration and staff of the department of ath-
letics espouse a student-oriented philosophy, which ranks academic achieve-
ment as the number one priority for its student-athletes. Towards this end,
the Department is committed to providing a comprehensive intercollegiate
athletics program for men and women, which promotes the academic, phys-
ical, social, psychological, and total development of the student-athlete. Fur-
ther, the Department is committed to working collaboratively with other
constituents of the University to ensure the production of competent, con-
tributing graduates who are capable of making the transition from university
life to the workplace and into today’s multicultural society. Embodied within
this mission statement is the concept of an ethical athletics program which
values success in competition, success in academic and personal develop-
ment of student-athletes, and success in maintaining full compliance with
the rules of the University, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, and Title IX. In addition, the department
embraces the NCAA's Principles of Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct.
Coaches, student- athletes, cheerleaders, boosters, faculty, staff and all who
support intercollegiate athletics are committed to the fundamental values of
respect, fairness, civility, honesty, and responsibility. Strict adherence to
these principles promotes character development.

SOuth carOlina State univerSity, a senior comprehen-
sive teaching institution, is committed to providing affordable and ac-
cessible quality undergraduate and graduate degree programs. This
public university, with a student population between 4,000 and 5,000,
is located in Orangeburg, an area that has a traditional rural, agricul-
tural economy which has expanded to include a business and indus-
trial focus that is national and international in scope. South Carolina
State University’s 1890 land grant legacy of service to the citizenry of
the state is ensured through its collaborative efforts with local, rural,
and statewide businesses, public education, colleges and industry. This
symbiotic relationship provides a catalyst that spurs a reciprocal eco-
nomic and social growth for the University, state, nation and the international community at large.
SOuth carOlina State univerSity, through instruction, research and service activities, prepares highly skilled,
competent, economically and socially aware graduates to meet life’s challenges and demands that enable them to work and
live productively in a dynamic, global society. Since 1896, SOuth carOlina State univerSity has maintained a
legacy of excellence in education. The University has been home to generations of scholars and leaders in business, military
service, government, athletics, education, medicine, science, engineering technology and more.
THE MISSION OF SC STATE UNIVERSITY A BRIEF HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
Founded in 1896 as the state’s sole public college for black youth, SOuth carOlina State univerSity has played
a key role in the education of African-Americans in the state and nation. As a land-grant institution, it struggled to provide
agricultural and mechanical training to generations of black youngsters.
Through its extension program, it sent farm and home demonstration agents into rural counties to provide knowledge and in-
formation to impoverished black farm families.
The University has educated scores of teachers for the public schools. It provided education in sciences, literature, and his-
tory. The support of the Rosenwald Fund and the General Education Board helped the institution survive the Depression.
After World War II, the state legislature created a graduate program and a law school at SOuth carOlina State uni-
verSity to prevent black students from enrolling in the University of South Carolina’s graduate and legal education pro-
grams. The legislature also dramatically increased funding at the college in an effort to make “separate but equal” a reality in
higher education in South Carolina. During the 1950s and 1960s hundreds of STATE students participated in local civil rights
demonstrations and were arrested. In 1968 three young men were slain and 27 wounded on the campus by state highway pa-
trolmen in the Orangeburg Massacre.
Since 1966, STATE has been open to non-African American students and faculty, but it has largely retained its mission and
character as an historically black institution. In 1971, the agricultural program was terminated and the college farm was trans-
formed into a community recreation center, consisting of a golf course and soccer, softball and baseball fields. Today there are
nearly 5000 students majoring in a wide range of programs that include agribusiness, accounting, art, English, and drama as
well as fashion merchandising, physics, psychology, and political science.

South Carolina State is looking
to turn things around with a differ-
ent look and new team, after having
one of its worst finishes in school
history, going 5-26 overall and win-
less in the Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference at 0-16.
After posting consecutive win-
ning seasons in 2008-09, and 2009-
10, the Bulldogs struggled the past
two seasons: 2010-11 (10-22 over-
all, 5-11 MEAC) and 2011-12 (5-
25 overall, 0-16 MEAC). Head
Coach Tim Carter is optimistic
that this season will be much dif-
ferent than the previous two
years, where the Bulldogs strug-
gled with talent and injuries
throughout the season.
The Bulldog coaching staff ba-
sically remains the same, with the
addition of assistant coach and for-
mer St. Augustine and Winston-
Salem St. assistant Ken Spencer
(UNC-Pembroke ‘91). Associate
head coach Murray Garvin returns
for his second season, along with
assistant coach Rio Pitt, who served
as Director of Basketball Opera-
tions, before being promoted to
full-time assistant with the depar-
ture of former assistant Kareem
Hodge.
“Make no mistake about it we
worked
really hard during the off
season to make sure that we don’t
have a repeat of the last two sea-
sons,” said Carter. “My staff and I
are committed to turning this thing
around and I feel we have the play-
ers that can get it done.”
The Bulldogs lost three starters
from last season’s team in leading
scorer guard Brandon Riley (17.3
ppg, and 3.8 rpg); forwards Presano
Bell (6.0 ppg, and 4.0 rpg) and
Omar Sanders the team’s rebound-
ing leader with 8.2 boards per
game, to go with 11.0 points per
game.
Meanwhile, SC State returns
three players from last year’s
squad among them team captain
and starting point guard Khalif
Toombs. Toombs (5-9, 160) a 3-
year starter for the Bulldogs, av-
eraged 10.8 ppg, 2.5 rpg and
played 34.7 minutes per contest.
He will be joined in the backcourt
by sophomore guard/forward Devin
Joint (6-4, 190), who was second on
the team in steals with 35 and aver-
aged 3.4 ppg and 3.2 rpg, while in
the front court, forward Luka
Radovic (6-9, 220)played a major
role from the bench, scoring 4.6
ppg and grabbing 4.2 rebounds per
outing.
Carter will also looking for help
from junior forward/center Do-
minique Youmans (6-10, 230) who
transferred midway through last
season from Snow(UT) Commu-
nity College, along with junior
walk-on guard Theron Stephens (5-
9,165- ), a transfer from Charleston
Southern University.
Despite the fact the Carter re-
turns only three players from last
season, he and his staff will be
looking for some immediate help
from eight newcomers, five of
whom are joining the Bulldogs
right out of high school.
