Cozell McQueen (born January 18, 1962) is an American former professional basketball player. He was part of the NC State team that won the 1983 NCAA Tournament.
Though he briefly played in the NBA for the Detroit Pistons, the majority of his professional career took place in the minor leagues and in Europe. He played as a center.
As a sophomore, McQueen took part in North Carolina State's 1983 NCAA title. He sunk an off-balance shot to tie the overtime game against Pepperdine in the first round of the Tournament.[1] In the semifinal against Georgia, McQueen - who had more playing time than usual as the Wolfpack dropped their three-guard lineup - posted a career-high 13 rebounds and added 8 points.[2] In the final against favorites Houston, he had 12 rebounds and 4 points whilst also defending Hakeem Olajuwon as NC State earned an upset win to win the tournament.[1]
He finished his collegiate career in 1985 with 5.3 points and 6 rebounds per game on average.[3]
