Mar. 7: St. Lawrence University senior Ralph Temgoua, the Liberty League's Player of the Year, was voted into the 2012 Reese's Division III All-Star game thanks to the d3hoops.com fan poll and will represent the Saints in Salem, VA.
D3hoops.com announced just after the voting ended at 12:00pm today that both Temgoua and Dylan Richter of Washington University (MO) would be representing their teams in the annual game. Temgoua had a total of 7,913 votes to clinch his spot out of 37,000 votes cast on d3hoops.com, more than doubling the total of last year's fan vote.
The All-Star game is now in its third season and takes place before the Division III men's basketball championship game. Josh Sharlow '10 earned a spot in the game in his senior year, and Temgoua will be the second St. Lawrence player to attend.
Temgoua finished strong after a slow start. He had just 1 percent of the first 7,500 votes cast. Temgoua and Richter outpolled Chris Beauchamp of Baruch, Will Hanley of Bowdoin, Seth Anderson of Gustavus Adolphus, Jamaal Watkins of Hiram, Chris Barnes of UT-Dallas and Paul Kouvaris of York (Pa.) to get their spots in the game.
