Terry
Continued from Page 7
gian is one just recently em
braced by Terry, who for the last
three seasons has been a key
bench player for perennial na
tional contender Arizona.
“When I used to come off the
bench, I’d come into the game
and do whatever was needed,
whether it was scoring, or de
fense or contributing steals," Ter
ry says. “It was just one thing that
I had to do, to sacrifice that for
the team. I think if anyone else
had been put in that position, it
probably would not have worked
out as well, but I credit my smart
mentality, being a team player,
that really helps.”
While his mental fortitude
surely helped, the roadblock im
peding Terry’s progression into
the Wildcats’ starting lineup was
clear — starting at small forward
was third-team All-American
Michael Dickerson. At off-guard
was All-American Miles Simon.
And at point guard was Mike
Bibby, the 1998 Pac-10 player of
the year and the second pick in
the NBA Draft after his own All
American campaign.
This left little room for Terry,
known mostly for his defensive
abilities and not his propensity
for scoring. But when Arizona
found itself down by one point to
No. 12 New Mexico last week
end, Terry was the guy who hit
the layup for the lead with 4.8
seconds left, although the Lobos
would eventually win on their
last possession.
“It’s a great feeling,” Terry says
of being entrusted with the ball
in such a tight situation. “I feel
like I’m in control with the ball
in my hands at that time. I love
that. I like the ball to be in my
hands, when I get to dictate
whatever is going to happen.”
Earlier this season, Terry was
named one of 30 candidates for
the John R. Wooden Award,
which later this year will be giv

en to the top player in the coun
try.
Bibby finished third in the bal
loting last year after being named
the Pac-lO’s freshman of the year
his first season. Terry came into
this season without any such lau
rels, but he still garnered men
tion from the selection commit
tee.
“It surprised me, because last
year we had the three all-Ameri
cans,” Terry says. “I thought I
may be overlooked. But I guess
they gave me my just due in that 1
paid my dues. I came off the
bench, so they expected me to
have great things happen this
year.”
That attitude may sound famil
iar to fans of Pac-10 basketball,
and especially those with knowl
edge of its rich heritage at point
guard.
Terry was and is one such fan,
and he readily pinpoints the
source of his cool confidence.
“Gary Payton and his whole
attitude,” Terry says. “I watched
him when he was in college at
Oregon State, and his whole atti
tude was ‘Me against the world,
forget everything.’ I’m going to
come out here and play as hard
as I can, and things will happen.
I got my mentality from him.”
Which brings us back to the
socks, which Terry has been
wearing since high school.
“I didn’t know how much the
socks really meant until after last
year’s first-round game.” Terry
says of the Wildcats’ 99-60 win
over Nicholls State in the NCAA
Tournament. "We won the game,
but I didn’t score any points. I
didn’t hit one basket, and that
was the only game I didn’t wear
those socks in my whole career.”
So you can surely expect to see
the socks tonight at McArthur
Court. And if things go as the
ever-confident Terry thinks they
will come this March, you will
see the socks leading Arizona to
a second straight NCAA regional
title game and possibly beyond.
