Thanks to the power of the Big Blue Nation, Terrence Jones’ powerful dunk against South Carolina on Jan. 22, has been selected as a 2011 Intersport Dunk of the Year finalist.

In the national competition wholly determined by fan voting on Facebook, Jones landed 61 percent of the vote in week four to overcome impressive slams by Indiana State’s Dwayne Lathan (18 percent), Washington’s Isaiah Thomas (13 percent) and Missouri Southern’s Jason Adams (8 percent). 

Jones’ dunk, in which he crossed over his defender to throw down a thunderous slam, will join seven other dunks in the finals, which begins March 7. Fans can support Jones by visiting the Dunks of the Year fan page on Facebook at www.facebook.com/dunksoftheyear.

High Point’s Shay Shine, Missouri State’s Jermaine Mallett and Oregon State’s Jared Cunninham are currently in the finals alongside Jones.

“Dunks of the Year” will be announced April 2 on ABC.
