SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - Seton Hall graduates Patrik Auda (Brno, Czech Republic) and Kevin Lynch (Canton, Mass.) were each named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court, which recognizes college basketball student-athletes who excelled in academics during the 2013-14 season.
Auda received NABC Honors Court recognition for the second straight season as the three-time BIG EAST Academic All-Star continued to perform at an elite level in the classroom, as well as on the court. The 6-foot-9 forward from Brno, Czech Republic graduated cum laude in May earning a bachelor's of science degree in finance. Auda started 21 of 27 appearances averaging 9.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and he ranked fourth in the BIG EAST with a .536 field goal shooting percentage. Lynch, a 6-foot-4 walk-on from Canton, Mass., saw action in four games last season and earned a bachelor's of science degree in sport management.
To be recognized as part of the Honors Court, the men's basketball student-athlete must be a junior or senior academically, and possess a cumulative grade-point average of 3.2 or higher. Auda and Lynch were joined by four other men's basketball student-athletes from the BIG EAST who were also selected to the NABC Honors Court.
About the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC)
