Gentle Giant: Eric Terry transforms into Bobcats' inside presence

The ball found Eric Terry inside the paint with 11 seconds left and Texas State clinging to a one-point lead over Coastal Carolina on Jan. 11.

Terry rose up, bent his elbow, flicked his wrist and got the floater to go. The 6-foot-8 redshirt junior forward possesses a filthy hook shot and against the Chanticleers, it was just what the Bobcats needed to secure a 65-61 win. 

“He’s been something like a glue guy,” junior guard Nijal Pearson said. “He takes charges. He rebounds. He finishes around the rim. That jump shot, jump hook is about as sweet as ever. He bails us out a lot of times with that jump hook. If we look for offense down there, he gives us an easy bucket.”
