Additionally, Penn was one of five Ivy League institutions recognized with the Team Academic Excellence Award, joining Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale in this honor.
Overall, more than 2,100 players were acknowledged on the NABC Honors Court while over 360 programs received Team Academic Excellence Awards for their performance in the classroom during the 2023-24 academic year.
