Hall of Fame
A two-time NCAA single-season leader in three-point shooting, Terrence Woods, a sharpshooting Tennessee native, helped lead the Rattler Basketball team to the 2004 MEAC Tournament championship and an opening round win over Lehigh University in the NCAA Tournament.Â
Â
A transfer from the University of Tennessee, Woods knocked down 279 three-pointers in his two seasons (2003, 2004) at FAMU, hitting 139 triples in 2003 and 140 in 2004, both single-season
school records. Woods led the Rattlers in scoring both seasons, scoring at a 20.5 per game clip in 2003, and 20.3 per game in 2004, earning first team All-MEAC both seasons. He finished his two-year career with 1,203 points, for a career 20.4 per game scoring average.
Â
His desperation three-pointer defeated Hampton University, 68-67 to propel the Rattlers to an opening round win in the 2004 MEAC Tournament, which they eventually won. In 2003, he knocked down a school record 12 three-pointers in one game against Coppin State in Gaither Gymnasium, after scorching the University of Florida for nine (9) triples earlier in the season.
Â
Following the 2004 season, Woods was invited to the NCAA Skills Festival as a participant in the three-point shooting contest. He captured the men’s title and the overall title, against the winner of the women’s division.
