The University of Tennessee is one of 37 NCAA Power Five programs, including nine from the Southeastern Conference, to earn academic recognition from the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, the WBCA announced on Tuesday.
 
The Lady Vols earned “Special Mention” status for their collective 3.323 grade point average as part of the WBCA’s 2024-25 Academic Team Honor Roll. That was an improvement over the 3.301 recorded in 2023-24.  Earlier this summer, the UT women placed 11 members of their 15-player 2024-25 roster on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
 
The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes college women’s basketball teams across the nation in their respective divisions that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2024-25 season is the 30th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor roll.
 
“The WBCA is pleased to recognize those women’s basketball programs that have committed themselves to excellence on the court and in the classroom,” said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. “The 119 teams we honor this year strive to achieve all-around success and we commend their efforts. Congratulations!”
