LARAMIE, Wyo. – Ray Willis (Atlanta, Ga.) a senior guard for North Carolina Central University’s men’s basketball squad earned All-Tournament honors in the 2012 Global Sports Hoops Showcase hosted by the University of Wyoming as he led the Eagles averaging 15.3 points a game along with 8.7 rebounds.
                                                  
Willis joins South Dakota’s Tyler Flack, Southern’s Malcolm Miller on the squad, along with Wyoming’s Luke Martinez and Tournament MVP Leonard Washington.
 
In the 73-60 loss to the host Cowboys of Wyoming, Willis scored a season-high 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting that included a 3-for-4 clip from the perimeter.  He also ripped down eight rebounds and the Eagles hung with the Pokes from the Mountain West Conference.
 
His 12-for-12 effort from the foul line against Southern University propelled the Eagles to the 59-55 win over the Jaguars where he ended the night with 20 points yet again, but nearly recorded his fifth double-double at NCCU with nine rebounds.
 
Willis ended the showcase shooting 17-for-17 from the foul line and 3-for-6 (50.0 percent) from three-point range as NCCU ended the three game tournament with a 1-2 record.  The Eagles led at the half against South Dakota but fell victim to a hot-shooting Coyote squad that missed just eight shots in the final 20 minutes.
 
NCCU (2-3) gets back to work at home on Tuesday night Nov. 20 against Toccoa Falls at 7:00 p.m. from McDougald-McLendon Gym.
