ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia’s Yante Maten has been selected to play in Reese’s College All-Star Game this Friday in San Antonio, Texas, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced on Tuesday.

The game will be played at 4:45 pm ET in the Alamodome as part of Reese’s Final Four Friday and will be televised live on CBS Sports Network.

Among Georgia’s career statistical leaders, Maten finished No. 2 in points (1,877), No. 4 in rebounds (885) and No. 3 in blocked shots (196).

Frazier scored 15 points, grabbed seven rebounds, dished five assists and collected two steals for the East team, which defeated the West 121-90. Gaines had 18 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in 29 minutes of action in his all-star outing.
