UCLA Basketball’s graduating senior and all-time three point leader Bryce Alford will compete in the Reese’s College All-Star Game today in Phoenix.

It looks as if UCLA Basketball‘s Bryce Alford is taking one last shot at college hoops as he will be participating in the Reese’s College All-Star Game which will take place at Grand Canyon University   Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.

Alford enters the game as UCLA’s all-time three point leader with a career total of 329. He also holds the record for three-pointers in a single season with 116.

This past season, Alford had moved from the point guard spot to shooting guard with the addition of Lonzo Ball. That move could not have been any better for the senior who improved his overall shooting game. His efforts helped the Bruins to be the top scoring team in the nation with 89.8 points per game.

Though his points per game dropped from 16.1 to 15.5 from the previous season, Alford improved his field goal percentage (.385 to .447) and 3-point shooting percentage (.367 to .430).

He will be joining 10 players on the West All-Star Team, which includes Iowa State’s Deonte Burton, Washington State’s Josh Hawkinson and Kentucky’s Derek Willis.
