Nebraska’s Tim Miles and Saint Louis’ Jim Crews will serve as head coaches for the all-star game. Miles will coach the Reese’s East All-Stars, while Crews will lead the Reese’s West All-Stars.

The game will feature 20 of the nation’s most outstanding college senior student-athletes selected by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, which is sponsoring the event.
