Sam Hiller (MSU #87-C) one of this year’s All Star Game Captains, leading the Monstars team along with Zigmas Maloni (DePaul #68). The other team are the Brave Little Toasters, led by Dan Shackelford (Kent #33-C) and Felix Perrone (WKU #76-AC).

The Spartans had four players named to the All Star Game, Mike Van Ermen (MSU #6), Kevin Miller (MSU #46-AC), Eric Paul (MSU #9), and Alex Acton (MSU #72). Paul chose to be replaced due to an ailing foot, which resulted in Zach Bauer (MSU #17-AC) taking his place.

Van Ermen was the first Spartan off the board in the draft, by the Monstars, at #11 overall. Acton was taken soon after at #16 by the Brave Little Toasters. Miller and Bauer had to wait a little longer for their names to be called, at #36 and #44 respectively, by the Monstars.

So with Acton on one team, and Van Ermen, Miller, Bauer, and Hiller on the other, either way their will be a Spartan victorious at the All Star Game.

Zach Bauer will be the fifth All Star for State, as he replaces Eric Paul (injury) in the All Star Game. This will be Bauer’s first All Star selection. Paul is likely to be able to play in the tournament however, he just doesn’t want to add on one more game for the tournament. The All Star draft is tomorrow at 9:15 pm, as captain Sam Hiller joins Kent State’s captain Dan Shackelford, DePaul’s Zigmas Maloni, and WKU’s Felix Perrone in dividing up the All Stars.
