University of Southern Indiana Athletics

Jamar Smith was named Basketball Times NCAA Division II Player of the Year after leading USI and the GLVC with 21.6 points per game in 2009-10. He finished his two-year career with the USI record of 20.2 points per contest and set the PAC record for scoring with 40 points against the University of Illinois Springfield. Smith, who also set USI’s single-game (10) and season (108) records for three-point field goals made, was named All-America by Basketball Times, Division II Bulletin (2009, 2010), NABC (2010) and Daktronics (2010). He also was named first-team All-Region, the Midwest Region Player of the Year and GLVC Player of the Year in 2010.

The heart of the 2009-10 squad, Smith led the Eagles in a rough time for the program. He held the team together after the NCAA sanctions came down that barred USI from the GLVC and NCAA Tournament and after the tragic death of Jeron Lewis.
