Lincoln University (PA) still sits at the top in the Northern Division of the CIAA and is in first place. Claflin has retaken first place in the Southern Division of the CIAA. Clark Atlanta (21-3) had its 13-game winning streak end and is still in first place in the East Division of the SIAC. They have won 14 of its last 15 games (15-4) in league play. Benedict and Morehouse College (16-7) are tied for first in the SIAC East Division (13-3). Miles College (18-5) continues to play at a high level and snapped Clark Atlanta University’s 13-game winning. They are in first place in the West Division (13-4) with a six-game winning streak. Southern University (16-10) and (10-3 league play), and Grambling State (13-13) and (10-3 league) are tied for first place in the SWAC. Norfolk State University (19-5) (8-1 league play) has taken sole possession of first place with a seven-game winning streak. A huge shout out to Kenneth Blakeney, Howard University Head Men’s Basketball Coach for winning his 50th game at Howard University. The HBCU All-Stars Tour continued in Indianapolis during NBA All-Star Weekend, and I promoted and marketed the third annual HBCU All-Star Game at Grand Canyon University in less than 50 days. I attended numerous events such as the NBA Celebrity Game, NBA Skills, 3-Point Shooting Contest, Dunk Contest, NBA x HBCU Classic, NBA Legends Brunch, NBA Crossover, NBA All-Star Breakfast, NBA All-Gospel Awards Show, Kenny Smith’s Charity Poker Tournament, Dwayne Wade Spade Tournament, and much more.

HBCU All-Stars LLC will honor the illustrious playing careers of Alvin Attles Jr., North Carolina A&T State University (CIAA), John Chaney, Bethune-Cookman University (SIAC), Leonard Eugene “Truck” Robinson, Tennessee State University (Independent), Robert Earl “Bob” Love, Southern University (SWAC), Zelmo “Big Z” Beaty, Prairie View A&M University (SWAC). Each of these amazing HBCU legends made their mark in this great game of basketball and reached the highest level of success in the NBA. We will recognize their impact on our HBCU basketball culture during the 2023-24 basketball season and host the third annual HBCU All-Star Game at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ.

The HBCU All-Star Game is far more than a basketball game. HBCU All-Stars LLC will stage the HBCU All-Star Game Experience, a week-long festival that will kick off the week on Tuesday, April 2, and conclude the following Tuesday after the Championship game, April 9. It will celebrate the HBCU Experience and will be highlighted by an HBCU All-Stars College Admissions Fair, Community Outreach and Engagement, Pro Day Combine, Welcome Reception, Awards Ceremony, and Social Justice & Civil Rights panel discussion.

The HBCU All-Star Game will air live on the CBS Television Network and be available to stream on
Paramount+.
