The Mountain East Conference has named Wesleyan's
Alex Mirhosseini 2025 All-MEC Honorable Mention.
Â
Mirhosseini, a senior guard from Arlington, Texas, made a significant impact on the West Virginia Wesleyan Bobcats men's basketball team. Standing at 5-foot-10, Mirhosseini emerged as a key contributor during his collegiate career, demonstrating scoring ability, playmaking skills, and leadership on the court.
Â
Mirhosseini showcased his offensive firepower in the 2024-25 season, setting a season-high
38 points against USC Beaufort on November 17, 2024. In that game, he was nearly unstoppable, knocking down
13 field goals, including six three-pointers. His performance throughout the season was defined by his consistency, playing heavy minutes and contributing in multiple facets of the game.
Â
Other standout performances included:
- 12 rebounds against Point Park (December 11, 2024)
- 11 free throws made versus Glenville State (January 11, 2025)
- 9 assists against Point Park (February 1, 2025)
- 5 steals in the same game on February 1, 2025
- 2 blocks against Glenville State (February 15, 2025)
Â
Mirhosseini's all-around game was evident in his season totals:
- 154 field goals made on 40.8% shooting
- 74 three-pointers at 40.9% accuracy
- 107 free throws made at a 76.4% clip
- 103 rebounds (3.7 RPG)
- 112 assists (4.0 APG)
- 47 steals and 11 blocks
Â
After a solid 2023-24 season, where he averaged
31.2 minutes per game, Mirhosseini took a leap in 2024-25, increasing his efficiency and expanding his role as a primary offensive weapon. Over two seasons, he played in
43 games, all as a starter, averaging
31.1 minutes per game while maintaining a respectable
38.3% field goal percentage and a
39.6% three-point shooting mark.
Mirhosseini's ability to create shots, facilitate offense, and contribute defensively was crucial for the Bobcats. His scoring bursts, particularly from beyond the arc, made him a player to watch in the Mountain East Conference and earned him All-MEC accolades.

In addition to the All-MEC first team and postseason award winners, the conference also recognized second team and honorable mention all-conference teams (listed below).
