As the Mississippi State women’s basketball program has become a powerhouse, Teaira McCowan has grown to become one of the best players in the country. Last season, McCowan was a key reason for the Bulldogs’ success and her stellar play helped MSU win 37 games in 2017-2018.
After an award worthy season last year, McCowan has earned some preseason notoriety this year, including from media members covering the Southeastern Conference. Prior to this upcoming season starting, McCowan has been named the SEC preseason player of the year at SEC Media Days.
Last year, McCowan played over 30 minutes a game and started every single game of the season.
