                       In the midst of March Madness Hot Springs will host the Arkansas College Basketball All-Star Game at Summit Arena April 5. The event features the top 20 men and women basketball talents from throughout Arkansas colleges. Voting for the participating players was an open forum on the Arkansas Alumni website completed on Feb. 21.
            Tip-off for the women’s All Star game is 3:30 p.m. April 5 followed by the men’s game at 5 p.m. The last game of the night will be a legends game of alumni players from all Arkansas colleges.
            If you’re an avid Arkansas basketball fan, this sounds like a fun event – just when basketball is really turned up all over the country.
