KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the third consecutive season, the Wright State men's basketball program has been honored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) with a Team Academic Excellence Award, the association announced on Thursday. Created by the NABC Committee on Academics, the 2019-20 awards represent the NABC's eighth year of the recognitions.
The award recognizes outstanding academic achievement by a team with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better for the 2019-20 season.
"We are honored to receive the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award for the third consecutive year," head coach Scott Nagy said. "We are proud of our guys for succeeding in the classroom and we have reached the point where this is the expectation of our program."
In order to earn a NABC Team Academic Excellence Award, institutions in the NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA must count the grade point averages of all men's student-athletes who competed during the 2019-20 season.
On Wednesday, Loudon Love and Andy Neff were named to the NABC Honors Court, which recognizes juniors or seniors that have been at their current institution for at least one year while holding a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.2 or higher at the conclusion of the 2019-20 academic year.
The Raiders won 25 games in 2019-20, setting the new program standard for most wins in a regular season in the Division I Era, and won 15 Horizon League games, also a new program-best, on the way to Wright State's first outright Horizon League regular season title in program history. Additionally, the team's six road Horizon League victories were the most in program history and the Raiders were a perfect 9-0 at home in league play on the way to a 14-2 overall home mark at the Nutter Center.
