Cook Headed for Final Four With Allstate NABC Good Works Team
March 27, 2017 | Men's Basketball
Senior Steven Cook is headed to the Final Four this week thanks to his contributions both on and off the court as part of the Allstate NABC Good Works Team.
Beginning Friday, Cook will take part in a weekend of events around the Final Four in recognition of his place on the Good Works Team, which he earned through volunteer efforts, including fundraising for a Sudanese hospital and interning at an anti-poverty organization in Chicago, his academic accomplishments, including becoming the Princeton men's basketball program's first CoSIDA Academic All-America since 1998, and his athletic achievements following a season that saw Cook named to the first-team All-Ivy League and the Ivy League All-Tournament Team while leading Princeton in scoring on the way to the outright Ivy League title, the inaugural Ivy League Tournament championship, and an NCAA first-round game against Notre Dame that came down to the final seconds.
While attending all three Final Four games, Cook will appear on the court with his fellow Good Works Team members during the first-half under-12-minute media timeout of the Oregon-North Carolina game. Sunday, he'll take part in the Allstate NABC Good Works Day with Special Olympics of Phoenix.Â
All seniors, Cook is on the Good Works Team alongside DePaul's Billy Garrett Jr., Iowa State's Monte Morris, Georgia Tech's Rand Rowland and Northwestern State's Sabri Thompson.
Cook finished his Princeton career 15th on the program's all-time scoring list at 1,148 points and tied for ninth with 156 career 3-pointers. During his four seasons, Cook played on teams that finished in the top three in the Ivy League every season, culminating in the program's first Ivy title and NCAA Tournament berth since 2011 earlier this month.
