He then transferred to St. George's Independent School in nearby Collierville, where, as a senior, he led the basketball team to a 25–3 record and the Tennessee Division II State semi-finals while averaging 19.8 points, 12.4 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game.
In addition to being named all-state for the fourth straight year, he was a finalist for the Div.

Missouri reached the NCAA tournament all five years.

Bowers later said of his freshman year: "it was the greatest feeling ever as far as my basketball career."
The following year, he played in 34 games, finishing third on the team in scoring (10.2 ppg) and second in rebounding (5.7 rpg).
For his production off the bench, he was named to the Big 12 All-Reserve Team.

He was named to the Big 12 All-Defensive Team and honorable mention All-Big 12.
In addition to leading the team in rebounding, his 62 blocked shots was good for second in the Big 12 and the third most in school history.
He also tied the school record by blocking eight shots against Colorado on January 8, 2011.
At the conclusion of the season, he and Kim English both declared for the 2011 NBA draft.
However, a month later, they both announced that they would be returning to Mizzou for their senior season.
They cited the looming lockout as their reason.
Before his senior season, Bowers suffered a season-ending injury in early October 2011 when tore his ACL in his left knee during pre-season workouts.

In his final season, Bowers averaged 14.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game, earning second team all-SEC honors and the team MVP award.
He did not participate in Missouri's Summer European Exhibition Tour in August, instead returning during the normal exhibition pre-season games at home.
He wore a left knee brace for the first 14 games to protect his repaired knee, and suffered an injury scare in January 2013 when he sprained his right MCL in a game against Alabama.
He missed five games, and played with yet another knee brace (now on his right knee) for the remaining 14 games.
However, for the third straight year, his Tigers were eliminated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament; Missouri was defeated 72–84 by Colorado State in Bower's final collegiate game.
He played 31 minutes and scored seven points.
In preparation for the 2013 NBA draft, Bowers moved to Bradenton, Florida to train at the IMG Academy, sharing a room with future NBA player and fellow Memphis native Adonis Thomas.
