Ohio State is One of Two Big Ten Teams to Earn the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award

Ohio State was one of two Big Ten teams to earn the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award.

The National Association of Basketball Coaches has been handing out Team Academic Excellence Awards for seven years, and Ohio State men's basketball earned its second consecutive honor.

To receive the award, a team must record a team GPA of at least 3.0.

The Buckeyes were led by guard Joey Lane, who was honored by the Big Ten as a 2018019 Distinguished Scholar. To qualify for the distinguished honor, a player must record at least a 3.7 GPA the year before.
