BOSTON – Five members of the 2025-26 Northeastern men's basketball team were recognized by the NABC on Wednesday for their work in the classroom.
 
Mike Loughnane (communications studies / sociology), Haris Elezovic (project management), JB Frankel (business administration), Youri Fritz (health science) and LA Pratt (business administration) were all named to the NABC Honors Court for finishing the 2025-26 year with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher.
 
Northeastern also earned an NABC Team Academic Excellence Award for completing the 2025-26 academic year with a team GPA of 3.0 or higher.
 
The NABC's academic awards are presented annually to teams and athletes from all levels of college basketball.
 
"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."
