MAC Basketball All-Star Weekend

With the NBA All-Star weekend getting underway tonight with the prestigious Rookie-Sophomore Rising Stars Challenge, we thought it'd be a fun idea to put together what the MAC All-Star festivities would look like. Contributors Kaleb Carter, Matt Hammond, Brandon Hickey and Zach Liles came up with their rosters for the All-Star game starters from each division, along with the dunk contest, three-point and skills contest competitions.
