NEWBURGH – The Mount Saint Mary College men’s basketball team has been recognized by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) as a recipient of the 2025-26 NABC Team Academic Excellence Award, highlighting the program’s commitment to success both in the classroom and on the court.
In addition to the team honor, Conor Gemmill, JP Egan, and Jorge Jimenez were each named to the 2025-26 NABC Honors Court for their outstanding academic achievements.
The NABC Team Academic Excellence Award recognizes men’s basketball programs across all divisions that completed the 2025-26 academic year with a cumulative team grade point average of 3.0 or higher. The NABC Honors Court recognizes junior, senior, and graduate student men’s basketball players who finished the 2025-26 academic year with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher.
“College basketball student-athletes do incredible things on the court, but their achievements in the classroom are equally worthy of celebration,” said NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson. “Education is one of the NABC’s core values, and the hundreds of programs and thousands of athletes represented on these awards reinforce the commitment to academic success that exists across all levels of our sport.”
Over 2,300 players earned spots on the NABC Honors Court, and over 400 programs received NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards for 2025-26.
