Terence Davis

Davis is the son of Trinina Smith and Terence Davis Sr. He began playing basketball at the age of six. He became a star football player at Southaven High School, competing as a wide receiver. Davis also managed to make the state's freestyle swimming finals in 2015. Davis earned twenty scholarship offers from major universities for football but opted to pursue basketball in college instead.

Davis played sparingly as a freshman at Ole Miss, averaging 1.9 points and 6.9 minutes per game. Coach Andy Kennedy's advice was to become a ball-getter and he improved markedly as a sophomore, becoming one of the most improved players in all of college basketball, and scoring 30 points on 6-for-7 three-pointers in an NIT win over Syracuse. He averaged 14.9 points and 5.3 rebounds per game as a sophomore. In his junior season, Davis led the team in scoring with 13.8 points per game, while contributing 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.

After the season, coach Kennedy was fired and Kermit Davis, who was named SEC coach of the year in 2019, was tapped as the new coach. As a senior, Davis posted 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting his best three-point percentage and free throw percentage of his career at 37.1% and 77.2%, respectively. He was named SEC player of the week after scoring 27 points and pulling down 12 rebounds, in a win over Auburn on January 9, 2019. Davis was named to the All-SEC second team. During his career at Ole Miss, Davis led the team to the NCAA tournament for the ninth time in school history. After the season Davis participated in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament and was named to the All-Tournament Team.
