The Gopher men’s basketball team just earned major national acclaim, landing the Team Academic Excellence Award from the NABC for crushing it in the classroom during the 2025-26 season—with every player maintaining a GPA above 3.0. Even more impressive: four standout athletes—Cade Tyson, Maximus Gizzi, RJ Spencer, and Robert Vaihola—made the NABC Honors Court, each boasting a 3.2+ GPA as juniors, seniors, or grad students.
