The UNC men’s basketball team showed its academic chops Wednesday, when it was announced that three seniors from last year’s Final Four squad earned spots on the National Association of Basketball Coaches Honor Court.

Marcus Paige, Justin Coleman and Toby Egbuna were each selected as recognition for their achievements in the classroom.

In order to qualify for the honor, players must meet four requirements:

1) They must be either a junior or senior

2) They must have been at their current institution for at least a full year

3) They need to have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher

4) They must be a member of a Division I, II, or II institution with a coach who is a member of the NABC.

Paige graduated UNC as a fan favorite who earned All-American and All-ACC honors while becoming the most prolific three-point shooter in school history.

Egbuna and Coleman each were part of the “Blue Steel” bench unit that would often close out the late stages of blowouts during the 2015-16 season.

On many occasions they received loud roars from the Dean Dome crowds as they attempted to win Bojangles biscuits for fans by getting the Tar Heels to 100 points.

Coleman was also the star of many pregame dance routines throughout last season.
