MAC Men's Basketball Player of the Week
Jalen Terry, Senior, Guard, Eastern Michigan
Flint, Mich. (Beecher)
Eastern Michigan's Jalen Terry continued his impressive stretch, helping the Eagles to a 2-0 week with wins over second-place Miami and at Northern Illinois. Against NIU, Feb. 22, Terry drilled a 35-foot shot at the buzzer to stun the Huskies, 79-76, as the Eagles had trailed by four points with 19 seconds left. Terry also tied the game on a lay-up with 14 seconds left. In that game, Terry scored 28 points with six made three-pointers and six rebounds, marking his fourth game with at least 25 points and six made three-pointers, doubling the amount by any Eagle player in a single season since the 2002-03 season. The senior nearly recorded a double-double in the win over Miami, Feb. 18, netting 24 points and logging nine rebounds. Terry also added in five steals and a pair of blocks, helping Eastern record its second different three-game winning streak in conference play, which EMU had not done since the 2013-14 season.
