Saint Joseph's forward Pat Calathes will participate in the 56th annual Portsmouth Invitational from April 9 to 12, as one of 64 seniors in the showcase for college basketball players.
Calathes will be joined by eight other players from the Atlantic 10 - including Temple's Mark Tyndale.
Calathes led the Hawks in scoring (17.5 ppg), rebounding (7.5) and blocked shots (1.2) this season as Saint Joseph's went 21-13 and reached the NCAA First Round. He was an Atlantic 10 All-Conference First Team selection and was named to the A-10's All-Championship Team.
The 6-10 senior from Casselberry, Fla., finished his career with 1,251 points and 630 rebounds. He scored 594 points this season which ranks as the eighth highest single-season total in SJU history.
