Rob Lowery is known as a strong, hard-nosed guard that will find a way to win. Sidelined by a knee injury that cost him the final 10 games of his junior season, Lowery looks to return as a more explosive player.

Offensively he's a slashing guard that is just as comfortable going to the bucket or shooting the perimeter jumper.

Outside of his basketball skills, Lowery brings a winner's mentality to the program, which makes him a great fit with the rest of the players on the team. Lowery, a First Team Division II Junior College All-American, finished up his first of two seasons of eligibility with the Flyers. With hopes of a satisfactory recovery from a patellar tendon injury, this guard is sure to make a strong senior comeback to contribute to the growing success of the Flyers' program.

2008-09
Lowery had the highest game points from a flyer five times throughout the season, and was number two on the team in assists with an average of 3.4 per game (84). In his Flyer debut, Lowery dished out five assists, drilled a 15-foot jumper with 48 seconds to go and swished two free throws with 15 ticks left to seal the decision against Wofford. He shot 9-of-13 from the floor and finished with 21 points against No. 15 Marquette. Lowery led the Flyers with 15 points on 4-of-11 shooting from the floor and had three steals at Creighton. He had five points and five assists in a win over Coppin State. Lowery finished with 13 points, five assists and made a clutch steal and dunk with two minutes to go to help lead UD to a comeback win over George Mason. He sank 6-of-9 shots and finished with a team-high 16 points to go with three assists in the win over Duquesne. At George Washington, he recorded eight points, a season-best eight rebounds and six assists. He scored 15 points and recorded seven assists in the win over St. Bonaventure, and hit the game-winning shot with 5.4 seconds left and scored a team-high 13 points against Fordham. Lowery missed part of the season due to surgery on a torn patellar tendon in his right knee on February 12. Despite his injury, he was still able to play in 25 of 35 games, turning in 187 points.
