After the team’s first March Madness win in school history, the biggest stars of Wright State Men’s Basketball have started to search for greener pastures.
The latest entry on that list is Tanner Holden, who declared his entry into the transfer portal earlier today.
“I will be forever grateful to Raider Nation,” Holden said, “I have developed many lifelong friendships/relationships that I couldn’t be more appreciative of.”
Holden, who averaged 20.1 points per game for the Raiders, had an incredible season for Wright State, highlighted by a 37 point game against the Bryant Bulldogs in the First Four.
He was a dominant player in the paint, and was one of the best players in the nation at baiting fouls for two easy free throws.
He was second in the nation in both free throw attempts and free throws made, and was a source of easy points when the Raiders were down by double digits and needed to spark a comeback.
The Raiders have now lost their two biggest stars in Grant Basile and Holden to the transfer portal after their historic season.
