Duke and perennial powerhouse Kentucky topped the list of men's basketball teams singled out by the NCAA for academic achievement Wednesday.

Public recognition awards are earned by finishing in the top 10 percent of a sport based on Academic Progress Rate scores. Any school with a perfect score of 1,000 also is recognized.


QuoteOne point is awarded each semester for each player who remains academically eligible and another point for those who stay in school.

13 teams that made the NCAA Division I MBB tourney also earned APR (academic) awards. Well done!

Georgia's APR rate went down, and you can probably blame last year's rash of dismissals and transfers. http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/college/early-departures-hurt-georgias-apr-rate/nmPcz/ ...

Mark Fox's men's basketball program has the third-best APR score in the conference, as did Manny Diaz's men's tennis program.
