DETROIT (9/25/12) - Former Detroit Titan big man LaMarcus Lowe, who was recently on campus to receive his 2012 Horizon League Championship ring, will play the upcoming basketball season in Holland with Rotterdam Basketbal College.

Lowe inked a deal with the Dutch professional hoops club last week. He initially sought after a NBA free agency deal but agreed to terms with the international organization instead.

Lowe started all 35 games he played in last season for the Titans and averaged 6.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and a team-best 2.26 block shots per game. Lowes earned the Dave DeBusschere Most Improved Player and the team's Top Defensive Player honor at the annual end of the year banquet. Lowe finished his career with 157 blocked shots which ranks third in school history.

Rotterdam has already started practicing and their first game is Saturday, Oct. 6 versus Leeuwarden. 

Lowe becomes the third member from last year's championship squad to sign a professional contract overseas joining Eli Holman and Chase Simon.
