The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced on Wednesday the recipients of the 2025-26 NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards and Honors Court, representing outstanding achievement in the classroom by collegiate men's basketball teams and student-athletes.

Lake Forest was one of more than 400 programs to earn NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards. In addition, among the nearly 2,400 players listed on the NABC Honors Court were Forester seniors Ben Bochicchio, Alex Brown, and Alex Forowycz.

The NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards recognize men's basketball programs that completed the 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 year with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher.

Brown recently earned his bachelor's degree in communication, Brown in economics with a finance concentration, and Forowycz in business with a concentration in marketing.

The NABC's academic awards include honorees from all levels of college basketball.
