Grant Basile named Horizon League Freshman of the Week

Wright State men's basketball forward Grant Basile has been named the Horizon League's Freshman of the Week, the league announced on Monday afternoon.

Basile turned in a pair of career-bests on Wednesday night, tallying 19 points and pulling down six rebounds to lead Wright State to an 81-55 victory over Urbana inside the Nutter Center in a campus site game of the Gulf Coast Showcase.

Basile recorded eight points and five rebounds in the first 20 minutes, following that up with an 11-point second half while adding a pair of blocks on the defensive end of the floor. His 19 points led a Raider trio of double-digit scorers. Basile got in on the three-point action as well, collecting his first career bucket from deep during the second half.

The Raiders are 4-1 on the season entering Monday night's matchup against Weber State, the first of three games at the Gulf Coast Showcase this week for Wright State. The Raiders return home to the Nutter Center on Tuesday, December 3 to host Western Kentucky.
