Terrell Lowery understood and executed Coach Paul Westhead's System. As a sophomore point guard in the Lions' record run in the NCAA Championships in 1990, Lowery averaged 14.5 points for the high-scoring Lions. He helped lead the Lions to 122.4 points per game, still an NCAA record, including another NCAA record 28 games where the team scored over 100 points. The 1989-90 Lions made it further than any team in school history, advancing to the West Regional Finals in his home town of Oakland, Calif.
 
In his final two seasons following the Elite Eight run, Lowery led the Lions in scoring, finishing his four-year career averaging 18.5 points. In addition, he led the team in steals in 1991 and 1992 and in assists in 1991. The 283 assists that season is a school record, and his 689 career assists are most all-time at time of induction. Lowery's breakout game came in 1990, scoring 48 points against Idaho State on Dec. 1, 1990. Lowery scored more than 40 points six times in his career. His durable career allowed him to play in a then-school record 119 games, putting him at the top 10 of most record categories. He was an Honorable Mention All-American in his junior and senior seasons and was the conference leader in scoring, assists and steals as a junior. He ranks second all-time in program history with 2,201 points.
 
A three-time All-WCC performer, twice on the first team, in men's basketball, Lowery also earned WCC All-Conference Honorable Mention honors in baseball for the Lions in 1991, and was drafted in the second round by the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball. Lowery played four seasons in the Majors as a member of the Chicago Cubs (1997-98), Tampa Bay Devil Rays (1999), and San Francisco Giants (2000). Lowery was inducted into the LMU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2017.
