Milos Uzan Named CBS Sports Preseason All-America

Milos Uzan, CBS Sports Preseason All-America Third Team

HOUSTON – University of Houston senior point guard Milos Uzan was named to the CBS Sports Preseason All-America Third Team on Tuesday.

A year ago, Uzan (whose last name is pronounced You-Zan) started all 40 games to set a school single-season record and led the Cougars to the NCAA Tournament National Championship Game.

Uzan was joined on the Third Team by St. John's forward Zuby Ejiofor, Kansas State guard PJ Haggerty, Gonzaga forward Graham Ike and NC State guard/forward Darrion Williams

ABOUT MILOS UZAN
Competing in his second season at Houston, Uzan electrified Cougar fans with his decision in May to withdraw from the NBA Draft and return to the University for his final season of eligibility.

After transferring from Oklahoma in the summer of 2024, Uzan emerged as an offensive leader for the Cougars during the 2024-25 season.

He ranked third on the team with 11.4 points per game and led the Cougars and ranked eighth in the Big 12 with 4.3 assists per game.

With a 2.98 assist-turnover ratio, the Las Vegas native topped Houston, finished third in the league and ranked 11^th nationally with that total.

Uzan scored eight points and dished out a season-high 10 assists in his Houston debut during the season opener against Jackson State and posted 24 games with one or fewer turnovers.

He flirted with a triple-double with 17 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in Houston's thrilling come-from-behind win in double overtime at Kansas. He tipped a KU inbounds pass into the hands of guard Mylik Wilson, who drained the game-tying 3-pointer to force the second extra period.

For that performance, Uzan was named the Big 12's Player of the Week and was recognized as a USBWA Oscar Robertson National Player of the Week.

He scored double-digit points in 25 games with a career-high 25 points in Houston's win over rv/#24 (3) Arizona during the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship Title Game in Kansas City, Mo.

Uzan was named to the All-Big 12 Conference Second Team and captured a place on the NABC All-Gulf District Team as well as the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team.

Houston, which finished #2 in both national polls, won 31 of its final 33 games to end the season and advanced to the NCAA Final Four for the seventh time in program history – and the second time under Sampson – with a resounding 69-50 win over #6/6 (2) Tennessee during the NCAA Elite Eight in Indianapolis on March 30.
