Season
| March 28, 2008 Peterson Shines as All-Star
Laie, HI—Brigham Young University Hawaii’s Paul Peterson excelled in his last collegiate basketball game tonight in Springfield, Massachusetts. Playing for the West squad in the annual National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) East-West All-Star game, Peterson dished out a game-high ten assists and scored seven points in just 19 minutes of playing time as the East defeated the West 103-97. Peterson shot 3-8 from the field and 1-2 from three-point range and grabbed two rebounds and three steals during his limited playing time. But he showed his skills at setting up his teammates by recording nearly half of the West’s 24 assists in the game. He also gave up just one turnover while handling and distributing the ball. BYU–Hawaii Assistant Coach Brandyn Akana also participated in the game as an assistant coach on the West staff. The game is held annually in conjunction with the NCAA II Elite Eight. Only players who have just completed their senior season are allowed to participate and players are selected by the NABC.
