Titans, Saints Set for NAIA Clash

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (Interstat) — The Indiana-South Bend Titans, riding a two-game win streak, will visit the Holy Cross (Ind.) Saints in a Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference men’s basketball matchup on Wednesday.

The Titans (14-8) enter with momentum after a 98-88 victory over Calumet on Saturday. Guard Mark White led the way with 19 points and seven rebounds, continuing a strong stretch where he has averaged 16.3 points over his last three contests. Kyle Millender added 14 points and five assists in the win.

Holy Cross (6-15) looks to snap a three-game skid, most recently a 90-67 loss at Olivet Nazarene. In that game, Saints guard Jayden Sanders scored 21 points, his second 20-point performance in three games. Sanders is averaging 18.3 points over his last four outings.

The Titans won the season’s first meeting, 90-78, on Dec. 13 behind a balanced scoring attack. Indiana-South Bend has shown resilience on the road this season, including an overtime win at Calumet on Jan. 3.

Holy Cross will aim to leverage its home court, where it earned a conference win over Judson on Jan. 28. Sanders posted 18 points and eight rebounds in that victory.

For Indiana-South Bend, consistency from supporting players like James Stevenson, who had 18 points against Calumet, will be key alongside White’s production. Holy Cross will need secondary scoring to complement Sanders, with Donovan Mukes (17 points vs. Olivet Nazarene) as a potential source.

Tip-off is set for Wednesday night at Holy Cross. The Titans look to solidify their standing, while the Saints seek an upset to build momentum for the final stretch of the season.
