No. 7 Maryland men’s basketball guard Anthony Cowan Jr. has one year left remaining in the program and clearly has gained some attention from the basketball landscape.
After being added to the Bob Cousy Award watch list and chosen to the 2019-20 Preseason All-Big Ten Team earlier this month, Cowan was named as the No. 9 player in ESPN Insider John Gasaway’s Top 25 players for the 2019-20 college basketball season.
Here’s what Gasaway had to say about Cowan:
“If there’s a player on this list whose performance will be more critical to his team than Cowan’s, you’d be hard-pressed to find him. A starter at point guard since Day 1 of his career in College Park, Cowan enters his senior season knowing exactly what the Terrapins need to fulfill their potential. Maryland needs chances to score, period.
Cowan influences that bottom line not only with the peaks or valleys of his own turnover rate, but also by steering this offense into its most efficient channels. The Terps have shown they can crash the glass and hit their 3s ... they just require parity in scoring opportunities. Sounds like a job for a nationally prominent senior point guard.”
The senior guard is one of four Big Ten players to be on the list, including Michigan State guard Cassius Winston (No. 1), Ohio State forward Kaleb Wesson (No. 6) and Illinois guard Ayo Dosunmu (No. 19).
After testing the NBA waters, Cowan returned this season with the intention of hanging a banner in the Xfinity Center. Last year, the Bowie, Maryland, native averaged 15.6 points and 4.4 assists per game to receive All-Big Ten Second Team honors.
The Terps’ season is filled with high expectations and will start on Nov. 5 against Holy Cross.
