Lowery was the first commitment to MU's 2023 recruiting class. That group of prospects also included Tre Norman, Al Amadou and Caedin Hamilton. Only Hamilton remains at MU from that class.
Lowery played in 73 games over his three seasons at MU, averaging 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds. He seemed poised for a breakout campaign as a junior, and he started the first nine games. But he struggled shooting, including 13 for 43 (30.2%) from 3-point range, and lost his starting spot to freshman Adrien Stevens.
Lowery came off the bench for two games then didn't appear at all against Georgetown on Dec. 17. He didn't travel with the team to Creighton on Dec. 20, then didn't return to the Golden Eagles for the second semester.
MU and Dayton played in a home-and-home series during Lowery's time in Milwaukee. Both were losses for the Golden Eagles, with Lowery scoring a combined 12 points in those games.
