Holden averaged 20.0 points in his first two games of the season, which included scoring a game-high 28 points on a career-best eight 3-pointers at Southern Miss on Wednesday. He shot 10 for 19 from the floor and 8 for 10 from 3-point land — the eight 3s are tied for third in school history, one shy of the record — against the Golden Eagles. He followed that up with a 12-point effort vs. Florida A&M, including a key triple with just under a minute left to seal the win; Holden picked up seven points from the free-throw line and dished out four assists against the Rattlers.
