Oklahoma State earned an Academic Team Excellence Award from the National Association of Basketball Coaches and placed a program record six players on the Honors Court.

The NABC's academic awards are presented annually to teams and athletes from all levels of college basketball in recognition of outstanding classroom achievements. Full lists are available at nabc.com.

Arturo Dean, C.J. Smith, Kirk Cole, Mikey Kelvin, Patrick Suemnick and Robert Jennings all made the Honors Court, which was open to junior, senior or graduate level students with GPA's of 3.2 or higher during the 2024-25 academic year.

Academic Team Excellence honors are given to programs achieving at least a 3.0 GPA.

The Cowboys cleared that bar with ease, posting a combined 3.14 GPA during the fall semester and 3.51 this spring to win the award for the second time in the last three seasons.
