7/11/2019 3:29:00 PM | Men's Basketball
The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) today announced the seventh annual Team Academic Excellence Awards, created by the NABC Committee on Academics. These awards recognize outstanding academic achievement by a team with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better for the 2018-19 season.
For the second consecutive season, the Wright State men's basketball team has been honored with this prestigious award. Each participating athlete's cumulative grade point average factors into the total for this award, and the Raiders are one of only 40 Division I programs to be honored. Wright State is one of only three Horizon League schools to earn the honor (IUPUI, NKU).
Wright State had two players named to the Horizon League All-Academic team in February this year, Bill Wampler and Parker Ernsthausen, who is a two-time recipient of the award.
