Four members of the Bradley men's basketball program were honored for their work off the court, earning recognition on the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court. Senior Donte Thomas and juniors Callum Barker, Peter Hanley and Luuk van Bree all collected the accolade as the Braves matched the school record with four honorees.

In order to be named to the Honors Court, a student-athlete must be a junior or senior and own a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or higher at the conclusion of the 2017-18 academic year.

Thomas earned the accolade for the second-straight year and was joined by a trio of first-time honorees. Bradley also had a school-record four named to the NABC Honors Court following the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. Additionally, Bradley was one of just two Missouri Valley Conference schools and 22 teams in Division I to have at least four academic honorees.

In addition to its success in the classroom, Bradley enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in years on the court. The Braves finished the 2017-18 campaign with a 20-13 record and are one of just four schools in the country to improve by at least five wins in each of the last two years. Bradley also earned a top-five seed for the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament and advanced to the league semifinals for the first time since 2010.
