USC AIKEN CONVOCATION CENTER Home of the Pacers

As USC Aiken Athletics has grown, its place in context of the University as a whole has evolved. With heightened importance comes the need for new tools for success. The Convocation Center, which opened in April 2007, is the grandest tool yet that will equip the Pacer programs with opportunities to succeed. A vision some 15 years in the making, the construction of the facility came to fruition only because of the dedication and hard work of campus and community leaders. Funding for the $17 million, 100,000 square foot facility came from both public and private sources. With a groundbreaking ceremony on December 9, 2005, construction in earnest began with a 14-month

History: Entering its 23rd year of existence in 2012-13, the Peach Belt Conference has cemented its status as one of the elite Division II conferences in the nation. Since its inception in 1990-91, the Peach Belt has developed a consistent history of excellence which continues to this day with 32 national championships and 28 national finalists. Starting with only two championships in 1991, men’s and women’s basketball, the conference has expanded to 15 championship sports with the addition of men’s and women’s track and field in the spring of 2013. The conference traces its roots back to November of 1988 when 11 schools first met in Greenville, S.C. to form a Division II conference. Following a second meeting on Dec. 3, 1989, five of those 11 schools, plus two others, formed the Peach Belt and began play in fall 1990. The Peach Belt was less than a year old before capturing a national championship. The Columbus State golf team took the honor by winning the 1992 national crown, the first of three golf championships the Cougars own. One year later, the Lander men’s tennis team began their record-breaking run of eight straight national titles, the first PBC dynasty. Since then, USCA men’s golf has won three straight national titles from 2004-06.

Peach Belt Conference The PBC is in the midst of another dynasty as the Armstrong men’s and women’s tennis teams captured the 31st and 32nd national championships for the conference last year. The Pirates have won four women’s and three men’s national championships since 2008. Armstrong’s achievement was the highlight to one of the most successful seasons in league history. Peach Belt teams advanced to the national championship round of competition in 10 of our 13 sports. The Armstrong women’s soccer team reached the Final Four while the Flagler volleyball team went to the Elite Eight. The Montevallo men’s basketball team played in the National Championship game while the Lander women’s team reached the Elite Eight. The Flagler softball team reached the World Series while the Georgia College and USC Aiken men’s golf teams reached the final eight match play at the national championships. In all, 59 Peach Belt teams made appearances in the NCAA postseason, including seven men’s tennis teams and six each in the sports of men’s golf and women’s tennis. The seven charter members of the conference were Armstrong Atlantic State University, Columbus State University, Francis Marion University, Georgia College & State University, Lander University, USC Aiken and USC Upstate. The name Peach Belt Athletic Conference was adopted in January of 1990 and modified to Peach Belt Conference in May of 2000. Augusta State joined the conference in 1991 and UNC Pembroke became the ninth member on July 1, 1992. They were followed by Kennesaw State University on July 1, 1994, Clayton State University on July 1, 1995 and the University of North Florida on July 1, 1997. Kennesaw State and North Florida departed for the Division I ranks in 2005, USC Upstate did the same in 2007, and the conference welcomed in North Georgia College & State University in 2005 and Georgia Southwestern State University in 2006. In 2009-10, the Peach Belt added Montevallo and Flagler. For the 2012-13 season, the league is

expanding once again with the addition of Young Harris College, giving the Peach Belt 14 members for the first time in its history. David Brunk was named the second PBC commissioner in May of 2007. Brunk replaced Marvin Vanover, who was the first PBC commissioner from 1991 to 2007. Brunk is charged with continuing the strong growth of the conference as its second era begins. Dr. Fred Carter, president of Francis Marion University, begins his two-year term as president of the Peach Belt this year. The conference currently holds championships in 14 sports, six for men and eight for women. They are men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s tennis, baseball, softball and men’s and women’s golf and women’s track and field.

Meet the USC Aiken Men’s Basketball Coaching Staff

USC AIKEN Head Coach Vince Alexander PERSONAL Hometown: Houston, Texas Date Hired: May 6, 2005 Family: Wife, Anita; son, Benjamin; daughter, Samantha DeNae`

Under the guidance of eighth-year head coach Vince Alexander the University of South Carolina Aiken men’s basketball program has become a national force over the past few seasons. The 2011-2012 season included many strong performances as the Pacers had another good year, going 21-8, giving the program 110 wins over the last five years. The 110 wins ties with College of Charleston and Benedict for most wins in the state over the last five years.

The Pacers have not just won games over the last four years with the 2011-12 team joining the 2007-08 USC Aiken men’s basketball team by winning the Peach Belt Conference Regular Season Championship. The 2008-09 Pacer men’s basketball team advanced farther than any other squad in program history to the NCAA Division II “Sweet Sixteen.” The 2009-10 USC Aiken men’s basketball team claimed the Peach Belt Conference Tournament Championship. The home court advantage at the Convocation Center continued in the 2011-12 season as the Pacers went a perfect 14-0 at home. The Pacers are 58-11 inside the friendly confines of the Convocation Center over the past five seasons. USCA is 39-8 against PBC opposition during the regular season inside the Convocation Center since it opened its doors prior to the 2007-08 season.

There are teams that have a couple good seasons and then drop off, and then there are teams that keep building and become true programs. USC Aiken has turned into one of the latter.

EDUCATION • Associate’s in Physical Education (Blinn College, 1987) • Bachelor’s in Physical Education and Recreation (Oklahoma Bap- tist University, 1989)

2011-12 PBC REGULAR Coach of the year as two of his players, Re’mon Nelson and four-year player Sterling Council, earned PBC All-Conference selections. Council was also selected to the NABC Southeast Region All-District First Team. The Pacers were chosen as the second seed in the Southeast Region before dropping a heartbreaker to Wingate, 73-70, in the Quarterfinals of the Southeast Regional. USC Aiken was ranked as high as fourth nationally in the 2010-11 season. The Pacers finished the year with a 17-10 record and a second place finish in the extremely tough PBC East Division. Two Pacers earned all-league plaudits with Byron Faison named to the PBC All-Conference second team. Alvin Brown was selected as the PBC Defensive Player of the Year. As a team in the 2010-11 season, USC Aiken finished first nationally in blocked shots with 6.1 swats per outing. Brown guided the Pacer “block party” with 3.3 blocks per game. Alexander and the Pacers participated in their third straight NCAA Division II Tournament in the 2009-10 season. Prior to USC Aiken’s first of now three consecutive NCAA trips, the Pacers last visit to the tournament came in 1998. In 2008-09 the Pacers advanced to their first ever “Sweet Sixteen.” The 2009-10 Pacers’ campaign ended with USC Aiken falling to Montevallo, 88-71, in the NCAA Southeast Regional semifinal for a trip to what would have been back-to-back “Sweet Sixteen” appearances. The Pacers nevertheless reached the Round of 32 in backto-back seasons for the first time in school history. The Pacers reached the Peach Belt Tournament Championship game for the third straight year and claimed their first PBC Tournament Championship since 1993 with a 65-60 victory over Montevallo.

USC Aiken is one of only three PBC teams to play in three straight PBC Tournament Championship games. Ironically, all three schools lost the first two championship games before winning in their respective third attempts. USC Aiken concluded the 2009-10 season with a 20-11 record, including three wins over Top 20 nationally ranked opponents. The Pacers have now claimed three-straight 20-win seasons becoming the first USC Aiken men’s team to do so in the university’s NCAA era. In the 2008-09 season, USC Aiken opened the year ranked as the No. 1 team in all of NCAA Division II by The Sporting News. The Pacers were ranked as high as second nationally during the regular season before ending the year with a 25-8 record overall. The Pacers advanced to the Peach Belt Conference Tournament Championship game and the

USC Aiken’s Byron Faison was named the 2010 PBC Tournament Most Valuable Player en route to the Pacers’ tournament title. Sophomore forward Kevin Willis was also named to the All-Tournament Team. Faison also garnered a PBC All-Conference selection at the conclusion of the regular season as a second-team member.

USC AIKEN NCAA Division II Tournament for the second straight year in the 2008-09 season. Alexander led the Pacers to a banner season in 2007-08, his third season as head coach of the USC Aiken men’s basketball program. Alexander engineered a remarkable turnaround as the Pacers finished the season with a 27-4 overall record, including a 19-1 conference record to claim the program’s second Peach Belt Conference regular season title. USCA broke numerous school records in 2007-08, including most wins (27), conference wins (19), consecutive wins (14), home wins (15), consecutive home wins (15), and most wins to start a season (9). The 2007-08 PBC Coach of the Year and South Atlantic District Coach of the Year, Alexander guided USCA to a final ranking of sixth. The Pacers advanced to the championship game of the PBC Tourney and earned the top seed in the NCAA Division II South Atlantic Regional before falling to Clayton State 60-58. Alexander guided the Pacers to a combined 15 wins in his first two years with the program. The Pacers were 15-44 in his first two years overall. Since then, Alexander has turned the Pacers into a Division II powerhouse. Alexander, who was 89-74 at Mansfield prior to taking the job at USCA in 2005-06, is now 221-159 all-time as an NCAA Division II head coach. He is 125-85 as the head mentor of the Pacer men’s basketball program. While Alexander and his team went through a tough season in 2006-07 marred by injuries and roster shakeups, the coach did reach a milestone when the Pacers beat Allen 92-60 on Dec. 2, 2006, for his 100th career victory. Alexander joined the USC Aiken community in June of 2005 after serving as head coach for the previous six seasons at Mansfield University, a NCAA Division II institution in Mansfield, Pa. He became the school’s seventh person to sit at the helm and third since moving to the NCAA Division II ranks in 1990-91. Alexander was hired after standing out in the hiring process to the USC Aiken administration.

In his time at Mansfield, Alexander led the Mountaineers to an 89-74 record, the 2005 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division Championship, and four appearances in the PSAC Tournament. Over his last three seasons, Mansfield was 57-29. The PSAC does not crown a regular season champion, but Alexander’s 2004-05 squad finished with the best conference record in the 14-team league. The Mountaineers went 10-2 on their way to the Eastern Division Championship. The team finished the season with an overall record of 18-11. All those accomplishments are even more impressive considering Mansfield was picked to finish fourth in the Eastern Division.

“We interviewed an exceptional pool of candidates for this position; however, Vince stood out from the group as a stellar coach,” said USC Aiken Chancellor Dr. Tom Hallman at a reception to welcome Alexander to campus. “I spoke to several people, including [Mansfield’s] president, who had nothing but respect for Vince personally and professionally.”

2011-12 In Review The University of South Carolina Aiken men’s basketball team under the direction of seventh-year head coach Vince Alexander concluded the 2011-12 season with a 21-8 overall record. The Pacers have now claimed a 20-win season in four of the last five years. The USC Aiken men’s basketball program has won 110 games over the course of the last five years. The 110 wins ties them with College of Charleston and Benedict for the most wins in the Palmetto State over the course of the last five years. The Pacers had one of the best seasons in school history in their 2011-12 campaign. The Peach Belt Conference regular-season champions with a league mark of 14-4, USC Aiken made its fourth trip to the NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball Tournament in the last five years in the 2011-12 season. USC Aiken was ranked nationally for much of the 2011-12 season. The Pacers were never ranked lower than third in the Southeast Region rankings. In fact, USC Aiken closed the regular season as No. 1 in the region rankings. USC Aiken would eventually earn the No. 2 seed in the Southeast Regional contested at Montevallo. The Pacers commenced the 2011-12 regular season by winning eight of their first nine games. USC Aiken would eventually close the first half of its 2011-12 season with an 8-2 record. USC Aiken would start 2012 strong by entering the national rankings at No. 19 early in January. The Pacers would go on to claim sole possession of the Peach Belt Conference regular-season championship. Pacer guards Sterling Council and Re’mon Nelson were both named to the Peach Belt Conference All-Conference Team. Council was a First-Team choice, while Nelson was selected to the Third-Team. Nelson, a junior, was also named to the Peach Belt Conference All-Tournament Team. Alexander was chosen as the Peach Belt Conference Coach of the Year. Council, a senior, was chosen to the NCAA Division II Southeast Region All-District First-Team. He was also named to the 2012 Daktronics Division II Men’s Basketball All-Southeast Region Second-Team. USC Aiken sophomore guard Jesse Seilern was selected to the Capital One Academic NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball District Three First-Team. He was also named to the 2011-12 Peach Belt Conference Men’s Basketball All-Academic Team.
