The Cardinals earned a collective 3.100 grade point average for the 2020 UofL fall semester
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville men's basketball team continues to excel academically as reflected in grade point averages from the 2020 UofL fall semester.
The Cardinals achieved a collective 3.100 grade point average for the recently completed 2020 fall semester, with 13 of the 17 student-athletes on its roster earning a 3.0 or better GPA.
The academic scores maintain a level of academic success that the Cardinals have accomplished for several years. The men's basketball team has attained a collective 3.0 GPA for 23 of the last 25 semesters. Seven members of the Cardinals' 2019-20 team earned their degrees.
Louisville has received an NCAA Public Recognition Award seven of the last eight years for ranking among the top 10 percent in men's basketball in the Academic Progress Rate (APR), which measures academic eligibility, retention and graduation for student-athletes. Louisville and Stanford are the only two schools from Power Five conferences that have earned the APR recognition in at least seven of the last eight years.
A league-high matching five Cardinals were named to the 2020 All-ACC Academic Team and UofL has produced an ACC-best 36 selections over its six years in the league. Prior to entering the ACC, UofL's men's basketball team earned four straight league Team Academic Excellence Awards, recognizing the highest collective grade-point averages in each of the conference sports (2014 American Athletic Conference, 2011-13 Big East).
Louisville (4-1) plays its first ACC game of the season when the Cardinals visit the Pittsburgh Panthers (5-1, 1-0 ACC) on Dec. 22 in Pittsburgh, Pa.
