LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Kansas Jayhawks finished the 2025-26 season ranked No. 25 in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll, which was announced Tuesday by the organization.
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. A team must have a combined GPA of 3.0 or better and be nominated by its head coach who must be a member of the WBCA to be recognized. The 2025-26 season is the 31st in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.
Under the direction of head coach
