ITHACA, N.Y. -- Seven members of the Cornell men's basketball program have been named to the 2025-26 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court, and the Big Red team has once again earned the NABC Team Academic Excellence Award, the organization announced Wednesday.

The NABC Honors Court recognizes junior, senior and graduate student men's basketball players who finished the 2025-26 academic year with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher. The Team Academic Excellence Award goes to programs that posted a team GPA of 3.0 or better for the year.

Seniors Josh Baldwin, Jake Fiegen, Adam Hinton, AJ LaBeau, Cooper Noard and Corbin Zentner, along with junior DaMaryon Fishburn, made up Cornell's representatives on the NABC Honors Court.

Cornell's seven honorees represent a cross-section of the University's academic strength, spanning colleges from Agriculture and Life Sciences to the SC Johnson College of Business and the Nolan School of Hotel Administration. The Big Red has now earned NABC Team Academic Excellence Award recognition for three consecutive seasons.

"College basketball student-athletes do incredible things on the court, but their achievements in the classroom are equally worthy of celebration," said NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson. "Education is one of the NABC's core values, and the hundreds of programs and thousands of athletes represented on these awards reinforce the commitment to academic success that exists across all levels of our sport."

Nationally, more than 2,300 players earned spots on the NABC Honors Court and more than 400 programs received Team Academic Excellence Awards for 2025-26.

The Big Red is coming off a 15-13 campaign that saw it qualify for the Ivy League Tournament for the fifth consecutive year. Cornell led the nation in assists (21.3) and 3-pointers made per game (12.9), while ranking among the top 10 nationally in effective field goal percentage (fifth, .599), 3-point percentage (sixth, .393), scoring offense (sixth, 88.5) and assist-to-turnover ratio (seventh, 1.83). Despite playing against one of the nation's top mid-major schedules -- including matchups with Illinois State (NIT Final Four), George Mason, Samford, Kent State, Towson and Sweet 16 participant Michigan State -- the Big Red set both school and Ivy League single-season records for assists (596) and 3-pointers (362), while also establishing a program-best assist-to-turnover ratio. Seniors Jake Fiegen (first team) and Cooper Noard (second team) were both named All-Ivy, with Noard capturing NABC all-district accolades as well.
