NORFOLK, Va. – Senior guard Pendarvis Williams of the Norfolk State basketball team has been selected to compete in this year’s Reese’s College All-Star Game on April 4 in Dallas.

The game, run in conjunction with the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), will begin at 4:30 p.m. at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, site of the 2014 Final Four. The contest will take place on that Friday of the Final Four weekend in an East vs. West format. Admission is free.

Williams becomes the first MEAC player to compete in the all-star game, now in its sixth year of existence.

An NABC All-District 15 first-team honoree, Williams was also named second-team all-MEAC this year in addition to earning a spot on the MEAC all-tournament team. He finished his career 15^th all-time at NSU in scoring with 1,646 points and also ranks in the school’s top 20 in games played (1^st, 132), 3-point field goals (2^nd, 217), steals (10^th, 137), free throws (12^th, 339), assists (15^th, 270) and blocks (20^th, 55).

Williams played key roles in NSU’s three-straight postseason appearances the last three years, including the school’s upset of No. 2 seed Missouri in the 2012 NCAA tournament.
