(Terence Dials - LNB All-Star Game in Paris, France - 12/29/2006)

(Flashback Game)
Reports out of France in early February named Terence Dials as one of multiple players on the wish list of Entente Orleans. The French League club was looking to find a replacement for one of their post players, Zach Moss. Dials (currently hooping in Cyprus) is well known in the French basketball community after playing three of his five professional years in France's LNB. Dials played for Orleans in his rookie season (2006/2007), moved to Orthez in 2007/2008, and then returned to Orleans in his third pro season.

T.D. helped Orleans advance all he way to the French League Championship in 2009. In late 2006 (rookie season), Dials capped off a year that included a Big Ten Title and a Big Ten MVP award with a French League All-Star Selection (pictured left at the All-Star Game).

LNB All-Star 2006 - Fresh off a great Senior season at Ohio State, Terence Dials is honored as one of France's best at the 2006 French League All-Star Game in Paris, France. This game pitted a team of imports versus a squad of French Nationals. Some familiar names in this game include Frenchmen Ali Traore, Yannick Bokolo, and Americans Dewarick Spencer, Cedric Banks, and Columbus, Ohio's Kenny Gregory)
