This week's Solomon Eye Physicians & Surgeons Terp of the Week is Senior forward Donta Scott of Maryland basketball.

Against the Hurricanes, he had 15 points in the first half alone pushing him over 1,000 points for his career. He is the 17th player in Maryland history to reach 1,000 points/500 rebounds for a career. In the two tournament games against SLU and Miami, Scott averaged 24.5 points per game, 6.5 rebounds, 2 assists, and shot 17-of-25 from the floor (5-of-9 from 3-point range), and was 10-of-11 from the free throw line to earn All-Tournament honors.
