INDIANAPOLIS - The Marian men's basketball team fell to No. 11 Indiana Wesleyan on Wednesday evening. The Knights moved to 2-6 in the Crossroads League and 4-14 overall on the year. 

Indiana Wesleyan won the tip, going up 8-3 early in the game, but Marian was able to push back and take the two-point lead with baskets from Aaron Humphrey Jr. and Dylan Moles. After the first five minutes of action, both teams went back and forth, but the Knights were able to maintain the 23-19 lead with baskets from Aidan Franks, Joshua Renfro, Moles, and Josiah Gustin.

Indiana Wesleyan pushed back at Marian's lead with a pair of free throws, but Franks was able to counter with a layup. The Wildcats kicked up the action with a three-pointer followed by a free throw before Renfro took the 27-25 lead back with a layup. The Visitors took their biggest lead of the game with a trio of baskets with under five minutes left in the half. Each team fired off multiple baskets with Humphrey Jr. recording a pair of layups, followed by a dunk from Gustin, bringing the score 33-36 in favor of the visitors. The Wildcats closed out the half with four baskets to increase their lead to 46-33 going into halftime.

Each team opened up the second half with a pair of three-pointers, with Ron Rutland III recording the basket for the Knights. Indiana Wesleyan was quick to fire off a pair of baskets, but Marian pushed back at the lead with four baskets from Moles and Rutland III to bring the score within nine. Both teams traded baskets once more, with Gustin recording the points for Marian, but Indiana Wesleyan fired back with a pair of baskets to increase their lead 59-45. Aidan Franks fired off a basket, but the Wildcats were able to counter with a pair, once again increasing their lead to 16.

Marian fired off four baskets against Indiana Wesleyan's one, with Luke Carroll, Franks, and Rutland III tallying the points to bring the margin down to 11. The Wildcats took control of the game, recording six baskets compared to the Knights' three. With five minutes remaining, Indiana Wesleyan continued to push full steam ahead, recording nine more baskets compared to the pair that Gustin and Moles fired off, ending the game with a 64-91 loss to the Wildcats.
