“These two young men have consistently worked hard in their academic pursuits, and this award is a testament to that hard work,” said A&M-Commerce head men’s basketball coach Jaret von Rosenberg. “I am proud that our team continues to collect academic awards after also advancing to the NCAA Tournament. We will continue to strive for excellence with a Best In Class effort both on the court and in the classroom as we move into the 2017-18 season.”
