Biggest Winners and Losers of the 2022 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Every year, there are at least a couple of mid-major stars who take full advantage of the bright lights and put on a show during March Madness.

This year, it was Wright State guard Tanner Holden and New Mexico State forward Teddy Allen.

An All-Horizon League selection, Holden averaged 20.1 points and 7.1 rebounds per game during his junior season for a Wright State team that snuck into the NCAA tournament as the No. 4 seed in the Horizon League tournament.

He outplayed Bryant's Peter Kiss, the nation's leading scorer, in one of the First Four games when he poured in 37 points on 11-of-15 shooting. He followed that up with 12 points against No. 1 seed Arizona in the opening round, and after entering the transfer portal, he has landed at Ohio State where he will likely step into a starting role with the Buckeyes.

No stranger to the transfer portal himself, Allen began his college career at West Virginia before spending time at Western Nebraska Community College, Nebraska and finally New Mexico State.

The 6'6" junior won WAC Player of the Year behind 19.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game for a 27-7 Aggies team.

He scored 37 points in an upset win over No. 5 seed UConn in the opening round to make his mark on the 2022 tournament, and he added 12 points, four rebounds and one steal in the team's second-round loss to Arkansas. He has already declared for the 2022 NBA draft.
