COMPANY OF ONE
Thanks to Trey Calvin & Tanner Holden, Wright State is the only team in America with two players with 2,000-plus career points. Purdue (Zach Edey, Lance Jones) is the only other team with multiple players with 1,800-plus points.
MR. 2000 (x2)
Tanner Holden reached the 2,000-point milestone with the game’s opening bucket on Feb. 17 against Robert Morris, while Trey Calvin reached the 2,000-point milestone with a pullup jumper on Feb. 8 against Detroit Mercy. The pair join Bill Edwards (1990-93, 2,303 career points) as the only Raiders to reach the mark. Calvin became the 15th player to reach 2,000 points in Horizon League history and is the first Wright State player in the HL’s 2,000-point club. Holden is currently 71 points shy of 2,000 points in a Raider uniform.
