EVANSVILLE, Ind. - After earning NCAA Division II All-American honors with an impressive senior season, Cal Poly Pomona guard Terrence Drisdom will play in the D-II All-Star Game to be held Friday at the Ford Center in Evansville.

Drisdom is one of just two West Region student-athletes to be featured in the game, joining Pablo Coro of BYU Hawaii. The All-Star game features the East against the West, with Drisdom and Coro playing on the West team coached by Lonnie Porter of Regis University.

The game will start at 5 p.m. Pacific (7 p.m. Central) on Friday and the event is coordinated by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). Earlier this week, Drisdom received All-American First Team selection from the NABC and All-American Second Team recognition from the Basketball Times publication. 

A senior guard from Corona, Drisdom totaled 1,201 points through his collegiate career to rank eighth all-time in program history. During his time at CPP, the Broncos posted an overall record of 88-29.

A two-time CCAA Player of the Week in 2014-15, Drisdom ranked second in the league for scoring (16.5 points per game), first in minutes (995), first in field goals made (180), first in steals (80), first in free throws made (124), fourth in blocks (24) and fifth in total rebounds (189). He also helped the Broncos rank No. 2 nationally in defense for Division II.

After CPP topped Chico State in Stockton to capture the CCAA tournament title, Drisdom was named to the All-Tournament Team. In helping the Broncos reach the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Drisdom scored a career-high 31 points in the season's final game - a 77-67 loss to Azusa Pacific. He also received All-Tournament honors for the West Region postseason.

Elite Eight action continues Thursday with Tarleton State battling Indiana (Pa.) at 4 p.m. Pacific and then Florida Southern challenging Bellarmine at 6:30 p.m. The Division II National Championship will be held Saturday at 12 p.m. and the game will air on CBS national television.

All members of the NABC are expected to uphold the core values of being a Guardian of the Game by bringing attention to the positive aspects of the sport of basketball and the role coaches play in the academic and athletic lives of today's student-athletes. The four core values of being a Guardian of the Game are advocacy, leadership, service and education.
