Although Maryland point guard Anthony Cowan Jr. played as well as could have been expected last year, the jump the Bowie, Md., native has made from his freshman year to his sophomore year has been substantial.
The 6-foot, 170-pound Cowan has made improvements in all statistical categories while running Maryland's offense for nearly every minute of Big Ten play and typically guarding the opposing point guard.
Cowan's improvement can be partly traced back to the summer, when he competed in the Kenner League for the second consecutive year. The Kenner League, which draws players from the collegiate and professional ranks, is based out of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Cowan played for the Darren McClinton All-Stars.
