HOUSTON, Texas --- Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball standout big man Jake Stephens has been selected to participate in both the 2023 NABC – Reese's Division I College All-Star Game and the 2023 State Farm College Team Skills and 3X3U Championships during the upcoming Final Four weekend in Houston, Texas.
 
The State Farm College Team Skills and 3X3U Championships at the Bayou Music Center in downtown Houston will take place at 7:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 29. The event will air on ESPN2 on Sunday, April 2 at 10 p.m. ET.

Stephens had a remarkable campaign in his final collegiate season this year despite missing the last 11 games of the regular season due to injury. His gutsy return to the Southern Conference Tournament provided the Mocs with historic play and a four-game run for the ages.
 
Stephens finished the season averaging 22.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 blocks per game while becoming the 26th Moc in program history to score 500 or more points in a single season (527). He was one of just two players in NCAA Division I this season (Trayce Jackson-Davis, Indiana) to average at least 20 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 blocks per contest.
 
He is the only player in NCAA DI basketball since at least 1992-93 to post 1,900 career points (1,943), 900 total rebounds (964), 350 assists (366) and 200 blocks (206) in a career, according to Sports Reference College Basketball's stat database.
