NORFOLK, Va. – Norfolk State men's basketball guard Allen Betrand has been selected to the 2024 HBCU All-Star Game, the event announced this week.
 
The third annual HBCU All-Star Game will take place at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Ariz. on Sunday, Apr. 7 at 4 p.m. ET. The event will be broadcast nationally on CBS.
