MVP MEEK LEADS ALL-PIT TEAM

Most valuable player Eric Meek of Duke and three other members of champion Beach/Barton Ford were selected to the 10-player All-Portsmouth Invitational team.

Meek, who powered Beach/Barton to an 86-65 victory over Bill Lewis Chevrolet in Saturday's title game at Churchland, was joined by teammates Lucious Jackson of Syracuse, Antoine Gillespie of Texas-El Paso and Eric Burks of Charleston Southern.

Runner-up Lewis Chevrolet placed Anthony Pelle of Fresno State and George Banks of Texas-El Paso.

Third-place K-Plus landed two - Jason Caffey of Alabama and Jarvis Lang of UNC Charlotte. ODU's Mike Jones and Michigan's Jimmy King of fourth-place Hoechst Celanese completed the squad, chosen by tournament officials.

Tournament chairman Mahlon Parker said the official ticket count has not been tabulated, but he expects an all-time attendance record. by CNB
