Twelve BIG EAST men’s basketball student-athletes have been named to the 2017 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court which recognizes excellence in the classroom.
To be named to the Honors Court, the student-athlete must meet high academic standards. He must be a junior or senior and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher at the conclusion of the 2016-17 academic year. The students also must have matriculated at least one year at their current institutions.
DePaul had the most BIG EAST honorees with four, including senior Billy Garrett, Jr., who won the BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete of the Year award for men's basketball in March.
