COTY First Round: #3 Derrick Low vs. #14 Robbie Cowgill

Coug of the Year continues, with an intriguing matchup on tap. It's the first time in the competition that two WSU teammates have met up - not surprising, though, as the entire starting five from last year's men's basketball team finds themselves in the bracket. And for good reason. There's no understating the impact of a Sweet Sixteen appearance on a school and a program that has seen limited basketball success in the last six decades.

Derrick Low is the clear favorite in this matchup; one has to wonder if even Cowgill himself would vote for D-Low in this one. Still, there's something about Cowgill you have to like - whether it's the midrange jumper, the low post defense, or the fact ESPN's Bill Simmons likened his appearance to a member of Greenpeace.

Even after saying that, my vote still goes to Low.

Have to give DLow the vote here...

even though, I think I like the Cowgill video better though (but this isn’t best video of the year). The song and CW saying “gotta have more cowbell”, classic

Grady, I may never forgive you for this

I simply cannot choose. So my voting ends here.

I miss both.

You think this is bad

If the seeds hold it will be Kyle vs. Derrick in the semi-finals. That will be a brutal decision.

Seriously

That is like Tony vs. Dick Bennett…

We didn't do an end of the year poll

If that’s what you mean. Also, I haven’t checked the cougcenter gmail in ages. So I hope the other blogs weren’t sending in votes, because I’ll feel bad.
