Southeastern Oklahoma's Eric Babers and Damien Lolar of West Texas A&M have been chosen to play in the Second Annual NABC/NCAA Division II All-Star Game to be held Friday, March 23, at the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.

The All-Star Game will match an East All-Star Team (with 10 student-athletes from the NCAA East, Northeast, South and South Atlantic regions) against a West All-Star Team (with 10 student-athletes from the NCAA Great Lakes, North Central, South Central and West regions).

Babers, a two-time Lone Star Conference North Division Player of the Year, capped an incredible career by averaging 25.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and three blocks a game as the Savage Storm advanced to the South Central Region championship game before falling to host Central Missouri.

Lolar, the LSC South Division Player of the Year, led the LSC in scoring with 23.3 points per game. The standout led the Buffs to the South Central Region Tournament where they lost in the quarterfinals to Midwestern State.

Babers and Lolar were also South Central Region Co-Players of the Year.

The All-Star Game will be part of the NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Elite Eight which will be held March 21, 22 and 24 at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Mass.
