Arizona men’s basketball excellence on the court last season was matched by the team’s prowess in the classroom.
The Wildcats received the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) 2021-22 Team Academic Excellence Award, the first such honor for the program in the 10-year history of the award. Arizona achieved the award by posting a team GPA of 3.0 or better.
Arizona joined Stanford, Utah and USC as the only Pac-12 programs to earn the team award.
“Academic success is a core value of the NABC and a priority shared by men’s basketball programs across the country,” said NABC Executive Director and former Oregon State coach Craig Robinson.
