Former Maryland point guard Anthony Cowan Jr., whose college career ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, says he was “extremely confident” the Terps would make deep runs in the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments.
Maryland clinched a share of the Big Ten regular-season championship with its 83-70 win against Michigan March 8. The Terps had lost three of their previous four games heading into the Michigan contest, but those four games occurred within the span of 10 days. With four days off before facing the Wolverines, Maryland looked like the team that had previously ripped off nine straight in league play, with Cowan leading the way (20 points).
“I was extremely confident. I think everyone was starting to get their groove back. That Michigan game really showed a lot,” Cowan said on Glenn Clark Radio March 25 of his mindset heading into postseason play. “Everybody that got in contributed and played very well. Everybody was getting their swag back, their confidence back. I was very confident that we could step up and make a big run in both tournaments.”
