Each year, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) recognizes college athletes who excelled in the classroom during the previous season by naming them to the Honors Court. This year, the NABC recognized 1,350 men’s basketball players with the honor, including Michigan State’s Xavier Tillman and Jack Hoiberg.
Here is the criteria for the honor, according to the NABC website:
- Academically a junior or senior and a varsity player.
- Cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.2 or higher at the conclusion of the 2019-20 academic year.
- Students must have matriculated at least one year at their current institution.
- Member of a NCAA Division I, II, III, or NAIA Division I or II institution with a NABC member coach.
