Early life

Rowsey was born on June 18, 1994, in Lexington, Virginia, U.S.[1] He attended Rockbridge County High School, and was named the Timesland player of year following his junior and senior seasons.[2] He finished as the second highest scorer in Virginia history behind Allen Iverson.[3] Despite this, he was lightly recruited, choosing UNC Asheville over offers from Richmond and High Point.[3]

College career

As a freshman at UNC Asheville, Rowsey averaged 20.3 points per game, second among freshman in Division I. He was named to the First-team All-Big South, Big South Freshman of the Year, and helped the team to a 17–15 record.[2] He was named to the Second-team All-Conference as a sophomore, averaging 19.2 points per game. After the season, he decided to transfer to Marquette. As a redshirt junior at Marquette, he averaged 11.5 points per game and helped Marquette reach the NCAA Tournament as a 10 seed. He was named the Big East Sixth Man of the Year.[3] Rowsey scored his 2,000th point in a 70–52 victory over DePaul on January 15 and finished with 11 points.[4] As a senior, Rowsey led Marquette to a 21–14 record and the NIT quarterfinals. He scored 29 points and tied a season-high six three-pointers in the season-ending loss to Penn State, and broke Dwyane Wade's single-season Marquette scoring record with 716 points.[5] He also set the single-season three-pointers mark with 125 threes.[5] He averaged 20.5 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game in 35 games.[6] Rowsey scored 15.0 points and posted 7.0 assists per game in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament after the season and led his team to the championship game.[7]
