BILLINGS, Mont. - In addition to an excellent season on the hardwood, Rocky men's basketball was recognized for its academic excellence by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, earning both team and individual honors.
The NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards recognize programs that completed the 2025-26 academic year with a team GPA of 3.0 or higher. The NABC Honors Court, meanwhile, includes junior, senior, and graduate student men's basketball players who finished the 2025-26 year with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher. The NABC's academic awards are presented annually to teams and athletes from all levels of college basketball.
"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. Within the Frontier Conference, the Battlin' Bears were one of just three teams to be recognized, while Rocky also tallied eight of the 17 total Frontier Conference student-athletes honored.
