NCAA Basketball: 8 teams that should target transfer guard Terrion Murdix

It was a historic past season for Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, who has only been a D-I NCAA Basketball for around 20 years. They made the NCAA Tournament for the third time ever, along with winning its first game in the Big Dance ever, beating Southeast Missouri State in the battle of 16 seeds.

There were three players that starred for the Islanders in the past season. Two of them, Trey Tennyson and Isaac Mushila, have already transferred out this offseason to TCU and New Mexico, respectively. And the third, Terrion Murdix, is now also in the transfer portal.

Murdix was originally a Chicago State commit but went the JUCO route instead, playing for Mineral Area College. He proved to be a quality point guard at that level and ended up going to Texas A&M-Corpus Christie as a junior. The 6’1 ball-handler split his time between being a starter and 6th Man in his first year but broke out this past season.

Murdix was third on the team with 13.4 ppg, along with 5.4 apg. But more importantly, he averaged over two steals a game en route to winning Southland Defensive Player of the Year. Unfortunately, the senior guard suffered a knee injury in the conference tournament and missed out on the postseason.

The good news is that he’s hopefully returning to the court around December next season but it’ll be for a new team. There are still plenty of programs that’ll have interest in a veteran ball-handler, even if for half a year. Here’s a list of eight teams to potentially watch for.
