MARION, INDIANA (NOVEMBER 8, 2025) — The St. Thomas University Bobcats men's basketball team earned a hard-fought 84–79 road victory over the Marian University Knights on Saturday afternoon powered by a dominant inside performance from Kaleb Myers and a steady floor game from Adrian Cruz.

Myers led all scorers with 30 points and 10 rebounds, converting an efficient 12-of-17 from the field and 6-of-10 from the free-throw line. Myers imposed his will in the paint, helping the Bobcats out-rebound Marian 35–26 and control the interior throughout the game.

Cruz orchestrated the offense with precision, finishing with 22 points and 10 assists while shooting 9-of-14 from the floor. His leadership was crucial in the second half, as the Bobcats fended off a late Knights surge.

Colin Nutter also added a strong two-way effort, contributing 14 points and 9 rebounds, including 4-of-7 from three-point range, while Donovan Mcintoshl provided a spark off the bench with 12 points and 6 boards.

As a team, St. Thomas shot a sharp 55.2% from the field and assisted on 16 of their 32 made baskets, showcasing their ability to move the ball and capitalize on scoring opportunities. 

Marian stayed within striking distance thanks to efficient shooting from Dylan Moles and Noah Lovan, who each tallied 17 points, while Aaron Humphrey Jr. added a near double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. The Knights shot 50.8% overall but struggled from deep, going just 3-for-13 (23.1%) from beyond the arc.

In a game defined by momentum swings, the Bobcats used a late 8–2 run sparked by Myers and Cruz to build a two-possession lead in the final minutes. Strong defensive stops down the stretch sealed the win, marking another statement performance for St. Thomas as they continue to build momentum this season.

The Bobcats will enjoy a week off before they travel to West Palm beach to take on conference rival Keiser University on Saturday, November 15.
