High Point, N.C. - Former University of Arkansas Cossatot Colts Men's Basketball star Terry Anderson has been up to good things since his two years with UAC, as Anderson is leading the charge for the Big South Champion High Point Panthers, averaging 16.0 as High Point won the Big South and clinched an NCAA Tournament berth for the second time ever in their Division I tenure.

Anderson scored 109 points in his first five games and never looked back, setting program records for career points (905), points in a season (535, 2021-22), career points per game (21), points per game in a season (21.4, 2021-22) and points in a game with 40 as a freshman against Arkansas Baptist on March 1, 2021.
The Deer Park, Texas native had five games with at least 30 points, had 15 double-doubles and only scored below double digits twice in 43 games for Cossatot.
Anderson cited his time with the Colts as a key part in his development, helping him get to where he is today:
"My experience at UA Cossatot helped build the foundation for me to get to where I am today. It helped me to become stronger, faster, and more skill developed. Without starting at the JUCO level, I would not be the player I have worked to become. UA Cossatot is a great program for players to start at if they are looking to get to the next level. Special thanks to Coach Byrd, it's always love for him."
After his time at UAC, Anderson transferred to Lamar for the 2022-23 season making 16 starts before making 33 starts the next season, leading the Cardinals with 13.0 points per game, including 25 at Nicholls on Jan. 13, 2024.
Anderson then transferred to High Point, and averaged 4.5 points per game in 26 games off the bench in 2024-25 before becoming a starter in 2025-26. Anderson scored 31 on 10-14 at Radford on Jan 23, and was named the Big South MVP after averaging 18.7 points per game including 18 in a 91-76 win in the Big South Championship Game against Winthrop.
"It's exciting, I'm just thankful to be here, thankful for my family, thankful for my team, and let's just go win us a game!"
