Men’s basketball had seven students named, while women’s basketball had four representatives on the list.
A total of 769 student-athletes from across the conference were selected for this honor roll for winter sports, which includes basketball, equestrian, gymnastics, and swimming and diving. The selection is based on grades earned during the Spring, Summer, and Fall terms of the previous year.
