DDN: Wright State’s Holden on all-league first team, Basile makes second team

Tanner Holden v Green Bay

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Wright State coach Scott Nagy knows how tough it is to pick All-Horizon League honorees with so many worthy candidates.

“I can just tell you, my staff and I the other day, it was probably the hardest all-league vote we ever had to do. There’s a lot of good players,” he said.

That doesn’t mean he’s completely on board with the coach’s picks, though.

Junior wing Tanner Holden was named to the all-league first team for the second straight season. Junior post Grant Basile was a second-team selection for the second time in a row.

The Raiders’ A.J. Braun was an all-freshman team pick.

Holden made a strong bid for the player of the year award, but that was shared by Detroit Mercy’s Antoine Davis and Oakland’s Jamal Cain.
