He has suffered two knee injuries — one that kept him from playing in last year's NCAA tournament, another that wiped out the first half of the 2011-12 season. Yet Micheal Eric, starting center on the men's basketball team, has persevered. "He handled it way better than I would have," Temple coach Fran Dunphy said. "I'm just thankful for the opportunity I got to play college basketball, even with the injuries," said Eric, who's seeking a master's in adult and organizational development at Temple after earning his bachelor's degree in advertising. "My parents, my teammates, my coach, the trainers, they kept me positive."
