NCCU’s Medley-Bacon Selected to Play in HBCU All-Star Game

HOUSTON – North Carolina Central University men’s basketball center Brendan Medley-Bacon has been selected to participate in the second annual HBCU All-Star Game during Final Four weekend in Houston, as one of the nation’s top 24 HBCU seniors. The game will air live on the CBS Sports Network on Sunday, April 2 at 4 p.m.

Medley-Bacon, a 7-0, 235-pound native of Baltimore, Maryland, earned the 2023 MEAC Defensive Player of the Year award after ranking 28th in the nation with a MEAC-high 1.93 blocked shots per game. His 58 rejections are third on NCCU’s all-time single-season list and the most by an Eagle in 19 years.

The All-MEAC Second Team honoree also averaged 12.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per contest. On Feb. 25, in a win over Howard University, Medley-Bacon tied the NCCU single-game record with eight blocked shots.

Medley-Bacon is now the third Eagle to be selected as an HBCU All-Star following Randy Miller Jr. (2021-22) and C.J. Keyser (2020-21).
