MIKE TOMLIN: NO LONG-TERM CONCERNS ABOUT AARON RODGERS AFTER STEELERS’ LOSS TO CHARGERS
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Tomlin isn’t giving Aaron Rodgers a pass by saying his veteran quarterback simply had an “off night” in Pittsburgh’s lopsided loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Then again, the NFL’s longest-tenured head coach also isn’t worried about the NFL’s oldest active player bouncing back from one of the worst performances of his 21-year career.
Rodgers completed just 16 of 31 passes for 161 yards with a touchdown in garbage time and two interceptions — one of which smacked off the hands of wide receiver Calvin Austin III — while also being sacked for a safety in a 25-10 setback that wasn’t even as close as the final score might indicate.
“Sunday night was what it was,” Tomlin said Tuesday. “But I have no long-term reservations about his ability to play the position and play the position at a high level for us.”
Tomlin credited the Chargers for getting the better of his offense, but he doesn’t think his unit is getting too predictable, even with the AFC North-leading Steelers (5-4) finishing with under 300 total yards for the third straight week.
Instead, he pointed to an inability to extend drives on third downs. Pittsburgh has converted just 36% of its third downs on the season, including 21% (7 of 33) over the last three weeks. Tomlin put the onus on his coaching staff to find ways to make opponents pay for double-teaming wide receiver DK Metcalf, who has just 10 catches for 96 yards over that period.
“We haven’t done a good enough job of putting others other than DK in position to win and win big, and they haven’t won big enough,” Tomlin said. “We’ve got to do a better job there.”
The Steelers declined to make a significant trade to upgrade the receiving corps behind Metcalf, opting instead to hold on to their significant draft capital. The club did sign two-time Super Bowl winner Marquez Valdez-Scantling to the practice squad last week.
Tomlin didn’t rule out the possibility of Valdez-Scantling working his way onto the active roster on Sunday when Cincinnati (3-6) visits Acrisure Stadium.
Either way, Tomlin would like to see the offense create more big plays. The Steelers only have a handful of pass receptions that have gone for more than 40 yards this season, and all but one of them came on plays where most of the yardage came after the catch.
“If you’re not doing a good enough job on possession downs, you need to have some big-play splash,” Tomlin said.
Extending drives or flipping the field would provide Pittsburgh the opportunity to give running back Jaylen Warren more work. Warren has averaged a healthy 5.0 yards per touch over his last five games, but he hasn’t had more than 20 touches in a single contest since September.
“We win more third downs, we’ll get Jaylen more touches, it’s as simple as that,” Tomlin said. “Jaylen was having the trajectory of a good day in LA, but we didn’t convert enough third downs for you to really feel it.”
The Steelers could be relatively healthy as they try to avenge a 33-31 upset loss to Joe Flacco and the Bengals last month. Veteran left guard Isaac Seumalo is expected to practice after sitting out the Chargers game with a pectoral injury. Safety Jabrill Peppers may also be available after being inactive against Los Angeles with a quadricep issue and wide receiver Scotty Miller has been cleared to practice after undergoing finger surgery.
Pittsburgh will not have safety Juan Thornhill, who was cut on Monday after Tomlin said the veteran’s play wasn’t “up to snuff.” Thornhill began the season as the starting safety next to DeShon Elliott but saw his playing time steadily decrease, even with the Steelers so banged up at the position that they started Kyle Dugger just days after being acquired in a trade with New England.
The defense overall was solid against the Chargers, though it failed to produce a takeaway for the fourth time in five games. Pittsburgh is just 2-3 in that stretch as it struggles to find the “complementary football” that fueled its 4-1 start.
If the turnovers don’t come, Pittsburgh will need Rodgers and the offense to deliver in a way that’s been hard to come by since that shootout in Cincinnati in mid-October.
“We’ve got to put together a better plan,” Tomlin said. “We’ve got to make more plays.”
NEXT GIANTS COACH WILL HAVE JAXSON DART AND TALENTED PLAYMAKERS TO BUILD AROUND HIM
The New York Giants seem to have a franchise quarterback and playmakers to build around him. They just need a coach to lead them.
Brian Daboll became the second head coach fired this season, meaning the Giants (2-8) will join the Tennessee Titans in getting a head start in the search. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka gets an eight-game audition as interim coach and a strong finish would increase his chances.
There will be a surplus of candidates for an attractive job. The new coach will inherit rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, wide receiver Malik Nabers and running back Cam Skattebo. Dart has shown his potential. Nabers and Skattebo can be stars, though both will be returning from major injuries.
Three of New York’s last four hires were first-time head coaches, so the organization could be looking for someone with experience.
Here are six possible successors to Daboll:
Lane Kiffin
He’s an obvious choice considering he coached Dart at Mississippi. Kiffin was 5-15 as head coach of the Raiders in 2007-08. He is 114-53 in college with Tennessee, Southern California, Florida Atlantic and Ole Miss. Kiffin has said he has no interest in leaving his job.
Bill Belichick
A long shot. He has history with the Giants, winning two Super Bowl rings as an assistant coach. Belichick will be 74 when next season starts, but his age isn’t the issue. His record without Tom Brady is the problem. They won six Super Bowls together in New England. But Belichick is only 84-103 without Brady, though he led the Cleveland Browns to a playoff win in his first stint as an NFL head coach. Belichick is 4-5 at North Carolina and would need a buyout to leave. He’d likely want full control and the Giants are planning to keep general manager Joe Schoen.
Mike McCarthy
He led Green Bay to a Super Bowl title with Aaron Rodgers in 2010 and has a record of 174-112-2 in 18 seasons with the Packers and Cowboys. McCarthy led Dallas to three straight 12-win seasons before losing his job after going 7-10 last season. He’s familiar with the NFC East, has worked well with young quarterbacks and is a winner.
Doug Pederson
Another Super Bowl champion, this one guided Philadelphia to the franchise’s first title with a backup quarterback beating Brady and Belichick. Pederson led the Eagles and Jaguars to five winning seasons, four playoff appearances and is 5-3 in the playoffs. He helped develop Carson Wentz into an MVP candidate in his second season in 2017.
Vance Joseph
He’s another former head coach who is having more success as a defensive coordinator in Denver. Joseph was 11-21 with the Broncos in 2017-18. He returned to Denver to join Sean Payton’s staff in 2023 and his defense has been top 10 in yards the past two years and third in scoring both seasons.
Klint Kubiak
He’s a rising young offensive coordinator. Kubiak is having success with Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle’s offense is ninth in total yards. Kubiak’s zone-blocking scheme can elevate New York’s run game and he’s shown he can develop QBs. Kubiak is the son of former NFL QB and head coach Gary Kubiak, who led Denver to a Super Bowl championship.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS
OHIO STATE STAYS ON TOP OF PLAYOFF BRACKET, WHILE MIAMI MAKES A BIG MOVE
Not surprisingly, Ohio State stayed at the top of the rankings, and there was a healthy debate about whether last weekend’s action warranted keeping Indiana at No. 2, one spot ahead of Texas A&M.
But while those top three remained the same in the Week 2 rankings released Tuesday, it was a game back in August that led the College Football Playoff selection committee to its biggest shakeup.
The committee vaulted Miami to No. 15, one spot ahead of Georgia Tech, to hand the ‘Canes the Atlantic Coast Conference’s only spot in this week’s projected bracket.
That decision came not so much on the strength of last weekend’s action, — when Miami easily handled Syracuse and Georgia Tech was idle — but rather, thanks to Miami’s season-opening win against Notre Dame.
“Certainly, the win versus Notre Dame was a key factor for placing Miami ahead of Georgia Tech,” committee chair Mack Rhoades explained. “In general, with the ACC, I think their lack of nonconference signature wins other than Miami over Notre Dame” hurts the conference.
Following the trio of undefeateds — Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A&M — were Alabama and Georgia, who rounded out the same top five as in last week’s season-opening rankings.
Texas Tech jumped two spots to No. 6 on the strength of its win over BYU, moving one notch ahead of Mississippi, which dropped to 7 despite a romp over Citadel in a nonconference game.
At No. 8 was Oregon, followed by Notre Dame and Texas.
No. 11 Oklahoma and No. 12 BYU would be the first two teams out in this week’s bracket due to the automatic spots handed to the ACC (Miami) and the highest-ranked league leader out of the Group of 5 conferences, which is now an honor that belongs to South Florida, ranked at No. 24.
“They’ve always been part of (the conversation),” Rhoades said of the Bulls. “South Florida is the most consistent of the Group of 5, to date.”
The final bracket comes out Dec. 7, with the 12-team playoff beginning Dec. 19 and closing a month later with the title game.
Indiana-A&M and Texas Tech-Ole Miss are two toughest calls
Rhoades said the decision to keep Indiana at No. 2 over Texas A&M provoked the committee’s second-longest conversation.
The Hoosiers needed last-second heroics to win at Penn State, while the Aggies got a romp on the road at Missouri.
“Certainly, discussion about those two games, but also discussion about body of work,” Rhoades said. “There was conversation about Missouri. Missouri is a really good team but not the team they’ve been,” due to injuries at quarterback.
The longest conversation involved moving Texas Tech a spot past Ole Miss.
“Texas Tech’s win this last weekend — really convincing,” Rhoades said.
Conference watch
ACC: Of the five teams in the conference ranked 15-22, maybe No. 22 Pitt is the team to watch. The Panthers have a 7-2 record with games against Notre Dame, Georgia Tech and Miami the next three weeks. Winning any two of those might give them a chance at somehow getting into the bracket.
Big Ten: Outside of the top three, there are no sure things. No. 18 Michigan would work its way into the conversation with a win over you-know-who at the end of the month, and No. 17 USC has a season-making game at Oregon on Nov. 22.
Big 12: There’s Texas Tech. And then there’s BYU (8-1). And then there’s No. 13 Utah (7-2), the team the Cougars beat last month and seem destined to stay ahead of if they finish with one loss and the Utes finish with two. Only two — and perhaps only one — will make it.
SEC: No wonder the conference wants to do away with automatic qualifiers. A&M, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi feel like locks. Texas, Oklahoma and No. 14 Vanderbilt all control their own destiny. (Especially OU, which is at Alabama this week.)
Group of 5: With early wins over Boise State and Florida, South Florida looked like a good bet to earn that fifth conference-champion slot earlier in the season, and reclaimed the position after Memphis lost to Tulane last week.
The projected first-round matchups
No. 12 South Florida at No. 5 Georgia: How many teams have won at the Swamp and between the hedges in the same year … or ever?
No. 11 Miami at No. 6 Texas Tech: ‘Canes won last meeting 45-10 in 1990, and closed that season with a 46-3 drubbing of Texas in the Cotton Bowl.
No. 10 Texas at No. 7 Ole Miss: They haven’t played since UT joined the SEC last year.
No. 9 Notre Dame at No. 8 Oregon: Unfinished business from their 13-13 tie in 1982, Gerry Faust’s second season with the Irish.

FIRED COACH BRIAN KELLY LAWSUIT ALLEGES LSU IS DECLINING TO HONOR THE TERMS OF HIS CONTRACT
Brian Kelly is suing LSU, arguing that the university is declining to acknowledge that the recently dismissed coach is owed his full $54 million buyout.
The lawsuit filed in civil district court in Baton Rouge alleges that LSU representatives told Kelly’s attorneys on Monday that the coach was never “formally terminated” the day after LSU’s 49-25 loss to No. 3 Texas A&M.
Additionally, the lawsuit says LSU representatives told Kelly’s lawyers for the first time this week that the university intends to fire him for cause — a move that could substantially reduce Kelly’s buyout.
The lawsuit states that Monday marked the first time LSU raised arguments that “grounds for termination for cause existed.”
If LSU officials offered details to Kelly’s lawyers about what those grounds are, they were not mentioned in the lawsuit.
Kelly’s lawyers have asked the East Baton Rouge Parish court for a declaratory judgment that LSU fired Kelly without cause on Oct. 26 and that Kelly is entitled to his full buyout.
LSU athletics spokesman Michael Bonnette said the university had no comment.
The 64-year-old Kelly was hired after the 2021 football season on a 10-year contract worth about $100 million. He went 34-14 with LSU, including three bowl victories. But the Tigers did not reach the College Football Playoff — which last year expanded to a 12-team format — during Kelly’s tenure.
Four days after Kelly had packed up his office at LSU’s football operations building and had been replaced by interim coach Frank Wilson, LSU athletic director Scott Woodard resigned under pressure from Gov. Jeff Landry and his appointees on LSU’s Board of Supervisors.
The day before Woodward resigned, Landry publicly slammed the then-athletic director, saying he would not be permitted to hire LSU’s next football coach. Landry also blamed Woodward for signing Kelly to a contract that became financially burdensome when the coach did not meet expectations.
“LSU has never claimed that Coach Kelly was terminated for cause and, prior to November 10, 2025, never asserted that he engaged in any conduct that would warrant such a termination,” the lawsuit states.
Rather, the lawsuit says, “LSU repeatedly confirmed,” both publicly and to Kelly, “that the termination was due to” the LSU football team’s performance.
Now, LSU representatives are saying that Woodward lacked “the authority” to fire Kelly or have settlement talks with him, Kelly’s lawsuit alleges.
According to Kelly’s contract with LSU, the school could fire him for cause if it had cited “serious misconduct,” including NCAA violations, crimes or immoral behavior. In such cases, however, LSU would have been required to outline in writing any grounds for the termination with cause within a seven-day period.
“LSU did not even attempt to satisfy any of these requirements, nor can they do so retroactively,” the lawsuit stated.
“Coach Kelly never engaged in any such conduct, and LSU never relied on any incident of cause” before firing Kelly, the lawsuit stated.
The lawsuit says Kelly informed LSU that he was open to a settlement, but that it had to “make sense financially.”
LSU initially offered to settle with a lump-sum payment of $25 million, which was raised to $30 million after Kelly rejected the initial offer, the lawsuit states.
Kelly has rejected LSU’s settlement offers so far, “but stated he remained open to any additional offers that LSU would like to make,” the lawsuit said.
NO. 10 TEXAS LOOKS TO STAY IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF HUNT WITH NEXT GAME AT NO. 5 GEORGIA
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas received two big blows on its way to the College Football Playoff last season, both at the hands of Georgia.
But if those two losses provide incentive for the 10th-ranked Longhorns (7-2, 4-1 SEC) as they prepare to meet No. 5 Georgia (8-1, 6-1) for the third time in two seasons, the players aren’t conceding that publicly.
Texas, No. 11 in the CFP rankings last week, has more tangible motivation than retribution when it plays at Georgia on Saturday. The Longhorns can’t afford a loss if they hope to reach the SEC championship game for the second time in two seasons as a league member. And losing a third game overall would marginalize them as a contender for their third straight trip to the College Football Playoff.
No team with three losses reached the 12-team playoff last season.
“The SEC championship, that’s all the motivation we need for this game,” edge rusher Colin Simmons said.
Under coach Steve Sarkisian, Texas is 0-2 against Georgia and Kirby Smart, who has lost only two home games the last nine seasons, one of them to Alabama on Sept. 27. The first Texas loss last season was 30-15 in Austin, the second a 22-19 overtime defeat in the Southeastern Conference championship game in Atlanta. Both schools reached the 12-team college football playoff.
The first matchup featured controversy, the second drama.
The game in Austin included an alarming sequence when fans of No. 1 ranked Texas littered the field with water bottles in the third quarter after officials called a pass interference penalty that initially negated a Texas interception and long return. The flag was picked up after officials conferred, and the Longhorns used the possession to score a touchdown.
“Now we have a precedent that if you throw a bunch of stuff on the field and endanger athletes, that you’ve got a chance to get your call reversed,” Smart said after the game.
The SEC office later released a statement saying officials made the proper call but Texas was fined $250,000 and issued an apology to Georgia.
In the SEC championship game, little-used backup quarterback Gunner Stockton came off the bench in the second half after an injury to Carson Beck and led No. 5 Georgia to the 22-19 overtime victory over the No. 2 Longhorns. Stockton guided the Bulldogs to a touchdown and two field goals.
This season, Texas won four straight games before having a much needed and appreciated bye last week. Three starters who missed all or part of the Longhorns’ 34-31 win against Vanderbilt on Nov. 1 practiced with the team on Monday.
All-America safety Michael Taaffe missed the last two games with a broken thumb. Receiver Ryan Wingo sustained a thumb injury in the first quarter against Vanderbilt, but not before scoring on a 75-yard pass and run hookup with Arch Manning. Safety Jelani McDonald left in the first half of that game with a concussion. The secondary suffered in their absence as Vanderbilt outscored Texas 21-0 in the fourth quarter.
“All those guys practiced and looked great,” Sarkisian said. “I don’t foresee any setbacks there.”
Texas is road-tested, having opened the season with a loss at Ohio State and later playing four straight games away from Austin. They lost at Florida, beat Oklahoma in Dallas and defeated Kentucky and Mississippi State before returning home against Vanderbilt. The Kentucky and Mississippi games went to overtime, the Mississippi State win requiring that Texas outscore the Bulldogs 24-7 in the fourth quarter.
“A lot of adversity we had to overcome,” Simmons said. “I’m just glad we went through it.”
Simmons, after a slow start, has 6.5 sacks in the last four games.
Manning has improved after a difficult start to the season. He has six touchdown passes against one interception in the last two games, showing more command behind a restructured offensive line that is protecting him better.
Manning is emblematic of a team that was AP preseason No. 1, stumbled to a 3-2 start while often looking unsightly, and regained some traction.
“We’re going to fight to the end,” Manning said. “Just got to continue to get better.”

NBA ROUNDUP: KNICKS HIT 130 POINTS FOR 3RD STRAIGHT GAME
Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns each recorded double-doubles Tuesday night for the host New York Knicks, who made franchise history by earning a 133-120 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Knicks, who are 5-0 on a season-high seven-game homestand, scored more than 130 points in each of the past three games — the longest such streak in the 80-year history of the franchise.
Brunson had a game-high 32 points and led the Knicks with 10 assists while adding five rebounds. Towns collected 21 points and 13 rebounds for his ninth double-double in 10 games this season. Mikal Bridges added 22 points.
Ja Morant recorded 16 points and 10 assists for the Grizzlies, who have lost six of their past seven games. Jaren Jackson Jr. and reserve Santi Aldama had 19 points apiece.
Jazz 152, Pacers 128

Markkanen hit 13 of 19 from the floor and 5 of 7 from 3-point range, while Svi Mykhailiuk and Ace Bailey added 20 each for the Jazz. Utah, which had eight players score in double figures, snapped a three-game skid.

Chet Holmgren was perfect from the field, hitting all nine of his shots including a pair of 3-pointers, finishing with 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Thunder.
Warriors star Stephen Curry, who missed the previous three games due to illness, had a rough night. He was called for the first flagrant foul of his career, and he managed just 11 points on 4-of-13 shooting. Jonathan Kuminga led Golden State with 13 points.
76ers 102, Celtics 100
Kelly Oubre Jr. scored off an offensive rebound with 8.7 seconds left, leading Philadelphia past visiting Boston.

Jaylen Brown paced Boston with 24 points, while Derrick White added 18 points and seven assists and Anfernee Simons contributed 17 points. White shot just 7-for-20 from the field, although Maxey (5-for-17) and VJ Edgecombe (2-for-11, six points) struggled on the other end.

Immanuel Quickley added 24 points while Scottie Barnes amassed 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Raptors, who have won five of six. Jakob Poeltl also was a force with 12 points and 10 rebounds, helping Toronto end up with a 50-36 edge on the glass and a 68-36 advantage in points in the paint.
Nic Claxton recorded 21 points and eight rebounds for the Nets, who have lost three straight. Michael Porter Jr. also contributed 21 points.
MAVERICKS FIRE GM NICO HARRISON 9 MONTHS AFTER WIDELY PANNED LUKA DONCIC TRADE
The Dallas Mavericks fired general manager Nico Harrison on Tuesday, an admission nine months later that the widely criticized trade of Luka Doncic backfired on the franchise.
The move came a day after Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont attended a 116-114 loss to Milwaukee in which fans again chanted “fire Nico,” a familiar refrain since the blockbuster deal in February that brought Anthony Davis from the Los Angeles Lakers and angered the Dallas fan base.
The Mavericks appointed Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi as co-interim general managers to oversee basketball operations.
Dumont’s hope for goodwill with the fans never came even after Dallas landed No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg with just a 1.8% chance to win the draft lottery.
There have been plenty of empty seats in the upper deck of American Airlines Center this season, something not seen consistently since 2018, when the Mavericks traded up to get Doncic with the third overall pick.
Doncic was a 25-year-old generational point guard in his prime when Harrison unloaded him for the oft-injured Davis, who has missed 30 of 44 regular-season games since his arrival in February.
Harrison was in his fourth season and had engineered three trades that helped the Mavs go on a run to the Western Conference finals in 2022 and the NBA Finals two years later.
The Doncic trade and a slow start to the first full season without the young superstar led to a stunning downfall for Harrison, who didn’t immediately respond to a request from The Associated Press seeking comment. Dallas is 3-8, and Davis has missed six of the 11 games with a calf injury.
“No one associated with the Mavericks organization is happy with the start of what we all believed would be a promising season,” Dumont wrote in a letter to fans. “You have high expectations for the Mavericks, and I share them with you. When the results don’t meet expectations, it’s my responsibility to act.”
While Dumont didn’t directly mention the Doncic trade in the letter, he acknowledged the vitriolic reaction of fans, who protested after the stunning deal. The Las Vegas-based Dumont and Adelson families, who bought the Mavericks from Mark Cuban in late 2023, were targets of the criticism as well.
“I understand the profound impact these difficult last several months have had,” Dumont wrote. “Please know that I’m fully committed to the success of the Mavericks.”
Dumont approved Harrison’s decision to trade Doncic, which kept the Mavericks from having to commit to a $346 million, five-year supermax extension for the Slovenian star.
Harrison tried to defend the deal by repeating a “defense wins championships” line. But with Davis sidelined by a calf injury and star guard Kyrie Irving still out after tearing the ACL in his left knee last March, defense hasn’t mattered much because Dallas has one of the worst offenses in the NBA.
With Davis and Irving playing together for just part of one game last season, the Mavericks missed the playoffs a year after Doncic led them to the NBA Finals.
The slow, injury-plagued start to this season for the Mavericks coincided with Doncic joining Wilt Chamberlain as the only NBA players to open a season with three consecutive games of at least 40 points.
Doncic’s historic run was interrupted by a three-game injury absence, but the Lakers won twice without him and are 8-3.
Harrison had spent 20 years with Nike and had close relationships with several NBA stars, including the late Kobe Bryant, when Cuban hired him in 2021.
The hiring of Harrison was the first step in trying to restore stability after former general manager Donnie Nelson was fired, then Rick Carlisle resigned as coach a day later. Nelson and Carlisle had been together for 13 years.
Harrison hired Jason Kidd as coach, and the Mavericks reached the Western Conference finals their first season together after Harrison’s first blockbuster trade.
He broke up the European pairing of Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis and got Spencer Dinwiddie, who played a key supporting role with Doncic as the Mavericks stunned Phoenix with a Game 7 blowout in the second round before losing to Golden State in five games.
A year later, Dinwiddie was part of the next blockbuster trade, which brought Irving from Brooklyn. The Mavericks faltered the rest of that season largely because of injuries, but they reached their first NBA Finals in 13 years in 2023-24, led by the pair of star guards. Dallas lost to Boston in five games.
That deep playoff run came in the first six months after Cuban sold the team. He said then that he would maintain control of basketball operations, but that didn’t happen.
Dumont quickly put full control of the basketball side in the hands of Harrison, who saw Davis as a championship-caliber player in the mold of Bryant. Davis won a title with LeBron James and the Lakers in 2020.
Cuban criticized the trade of Doncic, saying he never would have approved it and adding that he didn’t think Dallas got enough in return. Months later, though, Cuban credited Harrison for his salary cap management.
Finley, who was Harrison’s top assistant and has been in the Dallas front office for a decade, was a two-time All-Star for the Mavericks in the early 2000s when Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki was coming of age.
Finley had moved on to San Antonio when Nowitzki led the Mavericks to the NBA Finals in 2006. Dallas lost to Miami that year but beat the Heat five years later for the franchise’s only championship.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL NEWS
ATHLETICS 1B NICK KURTZ WINS AL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AWARD, BRAVES C DRAKE BALDWIN WINS NL HONOR
Athletics slugger Nick Kurtz was accompanied by a good friend as he joined one exclusive club on Monday night.
Kurtz was a unanimous choice for American League Rookie of the Year, and Atlanta Braves catcher Drake Baldwin won the National League award.
“It’s a great honor that I’m going to be put up with some of baseball’s greats who won the award,” Kurtz said. “It puts some finishing touches on the year, look back on it and enjoy what I’ve done a little bit.”
The 22-year-old Kurtz is the 14th unanimous selection for the AL honor and the second from the A’s franchise, joining Mark McGwire in 1987. Finishing right behind Kurtz was A’s teammate Jacob Wilson, and Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony was third.
It was the fifth time in the AL and ninth time overall that teammates finished in the top two spots in Rookie of the Year balloting. The last time it happened in the AL was the Mariners’ Alvin Davis and Mark Langston in 1984.
“It’s awesome. He was actually in the same room with me 30 minutes ago or so,” Kurtz said of Wilson.
“That’s something that we really wanted to do together. It shows the kind of teammates we are and how we strive to make each other better.”
The 22-year-old Kurtz batted .290 with 36 homers, 86 RBIs and a 1.002 OPS in 117 games this year. The first baseman became the eighth rookie since 1901 to finish with an OPS over 1.000 while making at least 400 plate appearances.
For winning Kurtz will be credited with a full year of major league service instead of 159 days, under the collective bargaining agreement. If he isn’t sent back to the minor leagues and there isn’t a work stoppage that costs him service days, he would become eligible for free agency after the 2030 season.
Baldwin, 24, stepped up for Atlanta after No. 1 catcher Sean Murphy was sidelined by a cracked rib in spring training. While Murphy was limited by injuries for much of the year, Baldwin hit .274 with 19 homers, 80 RBIs and an .810 OPS in 124 games.
Baldwin’s win secured an extra selection for Atlanta after the first round in next year’s amateur draft under the collective bargaining agreement’s prospect promotion incentive.
“I was just going into it with an open mind, kind of realizing how cool it is to even be a finalist for it,” Baldwin said. “But I didn’t know how it was going to turn out. I know it’s tough to rank or try to judge who had a better year between a pitcher and a hitter or a catcher.”
Baldwin received 21 of 30 first-place votes. Cubs right-hander Cade Horton got the other nine first-place votes and finished second, followed by Brewers third baseman Caleb Durbin. The balloting was conducted before the postseason.
Baldwin said Horton had a fantastic year.
“Either way, even if he would’ve won, I would have had all the respect in the world for him and I’d have understood why,” he said.
Baldwin and Kurtz each get $750,000 from a pre-arbitration bonus pool, and runners-up Horton and Wilson each receive $500,000.
The Manager of the Year for each league will be announced on Tuesday, followed by the Cy Young Award winners on Wednesday.
Kurtz, 22, starred at Wake Forest University before he was selected by the A’s with the No. 4 pick in the 2024 amateur draft. The 6-foot-5 slugger began this season in the minors, but he hit an RBI single in his first big league at-bat on April 23 against Texas.
It was a sign of things to come.
He hit a solo drive off Dodgers reliever J.P. Feyereisen for his first big league homer on May 13. He belted four more homers in a span of four days that same month, including his first career multihomer game on May 21 against the Angels.
He had his signature performance on July 25 at Houston, becoming the youngest player in major league history and the first rookie to hit four home runs in one game. He went 6 for 6 with eight RBIs while matching an MLB record with 19 total bases.
Kurtz is the ninth winner for the A’s overall, second in the AL behind the Yankees’ 10.
Baldwin was a third-round pick in the 2022 draft out of Missouri State University. He started on opening day for Atlanta and got his first major league hit on March 29 at San Diego.
Baldwin had one of his biggest days of the season on July 21, driving in six runs in a 9-5 victory over San Francisco. He went deep twice and finished with five RBIs in his first career multihomer game on Aug. 7, an 8-6 win over Miami.
Baldwin is the seventh catcher to win the NL honor and the second from the Braves, joining Earl Williams in 1971. He is the 10th winner from the Braves franchise overall, second in the NL behind the Dodgers with a record 18.
Baldwin’s new manager, Walt Weiss, was the 1988 AL Rookie of the Year with the A’s. Weiss had been the Braves’ bench coach since 2018.
“The last game of the year he told me good luck,” Baldwin said. “Even being on the same list as him is pretty cool. Everyone respects him. He’s a great guy.”

INDIANA PACERS NEWS
GAME REWIND: PACERS 128, JAZZ 152
The Indiana Pacers made a stop in Utah on Tuesday for the penultimate game of a four-game road trip that concludes in Phoenix on Thursday. The Blue and Gold took on the Jazz in their newly unveiled City Edition uniforms – a new-era take on Pacers uniforms from past eras. Utah entered the matchup with a 3-7 record, while Indiana sought its second victory of the year as it brought a 1-9 record to Utah’s Delta Center.
Indiana fell in Utah, 152-128, and dropped to 1-10 following the loss.
Andrew Nembhard started strong in his third game back in the lineup. He scored 10 points in five minutes, and helped Indiana to an early 20-10 lead. The Pacers injured list got shorter on Tuesday evening as T.J. McConnell made his season debut after rehabbing a hamstring injury sustained in the preseason.
The Jazz surged, led by Lauri Markkanen’s 10 points on 4-for-5 shooting, and overpowered the Pacers to take a 38-34 lead into the second quarter. The 34 points scored by Indiana in the opening period marks a season high for the Pacers’ offense. Unfortunately for the Blue and Gold, the 38 points scored by the Jazz also marks the most points they’ve allowed in the first period this season.
Ace Bailey gave the Pacers trouble in the second quarter. The fifth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Bailey opened the frame with eight points on 3-for-3 shooting. Utah led by 12 by the 7:00 mark of the period, 53-41. He continued to strike for the Jazz, extending Utah’s run to 11-0 before McConnell grabbed a basket for Indiana.
The Pacers had difficulty finding offense in the second period, and were outscored 32-23 in the frame as the Jazz recorded their third 70-point half of the season.
Pascal Siakam was effective after resting on Sunday at Golden State, and he led Indiana with 16 points, four rebounds, and four assists. McConnell brought a burst off the bench with 12 points, matching Nembhard’s 12.
Markkanen and Bailey shared the scoring responsibilities for Utah, and had 15 points and 17 points, respectively.
Indiana shot the ball more effectively on Tuesday, notching a 43 percent from the field through the first half. Utah shot 48 percent, but found more success than the Pacers beyond the arc as the Jazz connected on 39 percent of their 3-pointers. Indiana made just 24 percent from deep.
The third quarter started well for both teams – the two clubs were a combined 6-for-6 to open the second half.
Isaiah Collier’s 3-point shot gave the Jazz a 19-point lead by the 7:18 mark of the third quarter – that shot also marked Utah’s 13th make from deep on the night. The Jazz entered the game shooting just 30.8 percent from the 3-point line, but knocked down 45 percent on Tuesday.
That efficiency led to the Utah lead growing in the third quarter as the Jazz outscored the Pacers, 44-34. Markkanen led the charge in the period as he recorded 17 points on 6-for-6 shooting.
Indiana wasn’t done fighting. The Pacers made a push in the fourth quarter as Jeremiah Robinson-Earl fought for two offensive rebounds that he put back to cut the Utah lead under 20 points halfway through the period.
The Jazz held off the Pacers, who fell to 1-10 with the defeat in Utah.

You Can Quote Me on That
“There’s two sides of the ball. We’ve been around 15 or 16 in defense all year, even through the struggles and the personnel challenges and stuff like that. And we let go of the rope tonight. We let go of the rope in the fourth quarter in Golden State, and we let go of the rope tonight.” –Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle on Indiana’s defense
“It’s a very encouraging start for him, and he did well…We’ll build it up. We’ll build it up from here. But you know this is going to take time, and getting a guy like that back, it should be an uplifting thing.” –Carlisle on TJ McConnell’s return
Stat of the Night
Aaron Nesmith recorded 17 points and seven assists in Tuesday’s loss. The seven assists match his career-high mark.
Noteworthy

INDY FUEL NEWS
FUEL HOST RAPID CITY ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT
FISHERS- The Fuel will continue their busy November on Wednesday night while they host the Rapid City Rush for the first of three meetings in a row this week.
LAST TIME OUT
The last time these two teams met was May 23, 2021 where the Fuel shut out the Rush 5-0 in Rapid City, after teams returned to play from the COVID pandemic interrupted season. While there are no remaining players on either team from that game, the Fuel will look for a similar outcome as that successful game.
GONE STREAKING
Indy heads into this game on their first win streak of the season with back-to-back wins over the Bloomington Bison. They will hope to build momentum at home and extend that win streak against the out-of-division opponent this week. Indy has jumped into second place in the Central division behind the Fort Wayne Komets who have only lost two games. Iowa has nine points alongside the Fuel, however Indy has the edge with one less game played so far.
POWER PLAYERS
Special teams has made a huge difference in both wins and losses for the Fuel so far this year. Brett Moravec leads the team in goals with five and power play goals with three, making a huge difference in close wins for Indy. Staying out of the box has proven helpful for the Fuel, who are 3-1-0-0 on the road when accruing less than 20 penalty minutes.

LOVE TABBED AS SEMIFINALIST FOR MAXWELL AWARD
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Junior running back Jeremiyah Love continues his impressive 2025 campaign being named a national semifinalist for the 2025 Maxwell Award, which recognizes the college football player of the year.
Notre Dame has had seven Maxwell Award winners in program history: TE Leon Hart (1949), HB John Lattner (1952 and 1953), LB Jim Lynch (1966), DE Ross Browner (1977), QB Brady Quinn (2006) and LB Manti Te’o (2012).
Love is part of a group of 13 semifinalists for the Maxwell Award, and is one of just two running backs on the list.
Love has made his case throughout 2025 to be one of the best players in college football. He leads all FBS players in total touchdowns (tied- 16 touchdowns), and ranks second nationally in scoring (10.7), third in rushing touchdowns (13), fourth in all-purpose yards per game (138.00), fourth in total points (96), fifth in rushing yards (988), sixth in rushing yards per game (109.8).
Through nine games, Love has posted 154 carries for 988 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, adding 24 receptions for 254 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He averages 138.0 all-purpose yards per game, with 6.4 yards per rush and 10.6 yards per catch this season.
He is in the top six all-time in program history in career touchdowns (37) and career rushing touchdowns (31) in just 38-career games. He has posted six games in 2025 with multiple touchdowns.
Love became the first player in program history to collect two 90-yard rushing touchdowns in a career with a 98-yard effort against Indiana in the College Football Playoff in 2024 and a 94-yard score at Boston College in 2025.
This season, Love was named the Associated Press National Player of the Week and the Doak Walker National Running Back of the Week for his impressive performance against No. 20 USC. Love racked up 228 rushing yards on 24 carries to average 9.5 yards per carry in a 34-24 win over USC in the Jeweled Shillelagh rivalry contest. The 228 rushing yards Love put up against USC are the most for a Notre Dame player in a single game in Notre Dame Stadium’s 513-game history.
MOORE EARNS SEMIFINALIST HONORS FOR BEDNARIK AWARD
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Sophomore cornerback Leonard Moore added another national semifinalist honor to his resume for 2025, today earning semifinalist honors for the 2025 Chuck Bednarik Award, honoring the top defensive player in college football.
Moore is one of 17 national semifinalists for the award, and one of just two cornerbacks.
Moore has made a statement thus far in the 2025 season, named a semifinalist for the 2025 Lott IMPACT Trophy, which recognizes the nation’s top defensive player who makes an impact on and off the field, and the 2025 Paycom Jim Thorpe Award, which honors college football’s top defensive back. He has also earned seven midseason first-team All-America honors, including by The Associated Press, The Sporting News, CBS Sports, The Athletic, Sports Illustrated, Pro Football Focus and Athlon Sports.
Notre Dame has produced one Bednarik Award winner: linebacker Manti Te’o in 2012.
In just seven games played this season, Moore has posted three interceptions. He leads Power 4 cornerbacks with a 90.0 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus. Among starting Power 4 cornerbacks, Moore ranks third in interception rate (10 percent), fourth in explosive play rate allowed (one percent), fourth in yards allowed per cover snap (0.5) and seventh in target rate in coverage (10 percent).
Moore, in addition to his three interceptions this season, has posted six passes defended, 22 tackles, three pass breakups and a forced fumble in just seven games played. With Moore’s help, Notre Dame ranks third in the nation in total interceptions (16) and fourth in the country in turnover margin (1.11).
Two of Moore’s interceptions came in the same game vs. Boise State, a career-best performance. For his performance that week, he was named the Walter Camp FBS Defensive Player of the Week and the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award Defensive Back of the Week. He became the first Notre Dame player to have multiple interceptions in the same game since 2023 (Xavier Watts).
The 2024 FWAA Freshman Defensive Player of the Year, Moore entered the 2025 season with several accolades, as he was named to the Preseason All-America First Team lists by Walter Camp, The Sporting News, the Associated Press, The Athletic, ESPN, CBS Sports, Athlon Sports and Phil Steele. He has also been named to patch lists for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Paycom Jim Thorpe Award, Chuck Bednarik Award and Lott IMPACT Trophy.

STRONG SECOND HALF SEALS 78-58 VICTORY OVER EASTERN ILLINOIS
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame Men’s Basketball ended the season-opening homestand on a good note, as a strong second-half performance earned them the 78-58 victory over Eastern Illinois – presented by Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. This marks the first time since the 2016-17 season in which the Fighting Irish have opened the season with three straight 20+ point victories.
Braeden Shrewsberry and Jalen Haralson shone bright in the second half, combining for 28 points. The junior was 5-6 from three-point range in the half and finished the game 6-8 for 18 total points. Haralson scored 13 of his 17 in the second and finished the night a perfect 6-6 from the field.
Shrewsberry is now 11-16 from three over the last two games. He’s compiled 37 points in that span.
Markus Burton registered his 30th career game with 20+ points with 21 tonight. The junior guard was 8-19 from the floor. Carson Towt earned his third straight game with double-digit rebounds grabbing 11 boards. He now has 40 over the first three games.
A strong second half on both sides of the ball surged the Irish forward in the second 20 minutes of play. While shooting just 2-13 from behind the arc in the first half, Notre Dame shot an impressive 46.7% from deep in the second half, knocking down 7-of-15.
Defensively, the Irish held the Panthers to just 8 field goals in the half, which included a nine-minute stretch where the Irish didn’t allow a single field goal from EIU. The Irish also forced 8 Panther turnovers in the half.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Back-to-back three-point plays from Shrewsberry and Burton got the Irish off to an 8-2 start. Though, the momentum was short lived as Eastern Illinois later countered with a 7-0 run to garner their first lead of the game at 18-19.
Jalen Haralson then helped ignite a 5-6 shooting stretch from the floor. It first started with the freshman doing a fantastic spin move in the pain then dish to Kebba Njie for the score. Next, he was awarded with a great pass as he cut to the basket for the dunk. Sir Mohammed then capped the stretch with a pair of layups.
The one counter point was that the Panthers were matching the Irish shot for shot for the home squad only led by one (26-25) after the above mentioned stretch. Enter Burton, who scored five straight points before the half to give the Irish a lead at the midway point, 31-28.
Burton led all players at the half with 12 points on 5-9 shooting. Notre Dame shot 43.3 percent from the floor but a cold 2-13 from beyond the arc. EIU shot 38.2 percent in the first half and were 2-12 from three. ND owned the boards, up 21-15, in that department.
Shrewsberry opened the second half with his third trey of the night and was only getting started. Four of Notre Dame’s first five field goals in the half were three-pointers with Shrewsberry cashing in on three of those in the first five minutes of play.
Notre Dame’s 17 points to start the half were all thanks to hot hands of Shrewsberry, Burton, and Towt as the Irish forced the EIU timeout with a 48-36 lead.
Five of ND’s next seven were scored from Haralson at the free-throw line to keep the Irish up double digits at 55-42 with 8:30 remaining. Soon after, Shrewsberry’s fourth three-pointer (4-5 from beyond the arc in the second half at this point) of the half gave ND a 58-44 advantage at the 7:35 media timeout.
The defensive intensity picked up during this stretch as well. The Panthers made a field goal at 11:18 and didn’t register another until 2:07 Meanwhile, Burton, Haralson and Sundra fired off a 9-0 to go up 23 with 4:30 remaining, 69-46.
EIU chipped away at the deficit with four straight free throws to make it a 20 point ballgame with 3:09 left, but a finish at the rim from Imes followed by the drive from Haralson gave the Irish the 24 point lead yet again.
A Panther three was matched by none other than Shrewsberry, who knocked down his sixth triple of the night. The two squads would trade baskets to close it out as the Irish secured the 78-58 victory to remain undefeated on the season.
UP NEXT
The Fighting Irish will get their first road test of the young 2025-26 season when they travel to Columbus, Ohio, on Sunday, November 16. It’ll be a matchup of two early undefeateds with Notre Dame vs. Ohio State inside the Value City Arena at 12:30 ET, airing live on FS1.

NO. 18 NOTRE DAME, AKRON SET FOR MIDWEEK TILT
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — No. 18 Notre Dame (2-0) took care of business in its first two games last week, and the Irish will play one more game in Purcell Pavilion on Wednesday before hitting the road this weekend, as Akron (0-2) visits. The game is presented by the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation.
Notre Dame is coming off blow out wins over FDU and Chicago State last week by a combined score 214-110. All five Notre Dame starters scored in double-figures in both games, with Hannah Hidalgo leading the way with 27 and 32, respectively. Against FDU, Gisela Sanchez recorded her first career double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds, while Vanessa de Jesus notched a career-high 22 points.
Chicago State featured additional career-highs. Cassandre Prosper had 28 points and steals, and KK Bransford had 21 points and 13 rebounds, her first career double-double. While the same size is small, Prosper leads the ACC in field goal percentage (64.0 percent) and is the only major conference player with a free throw percentage of 100 percent and more than 10 made free throws.
Also of note, both Malaya Cowles and Iyana Moore will be available for Notre Dame on Wednesday. The graduate transfer from Wake Forest and Vanderbilt, respectively, missed the first two games of the season with lower leg injuries.
On the other side of the court, Akron is coming off a loss to Robert Morris, 60-71. Five Akron players posted career-high marks, including a 22-point showing from Ni’Rah Clark. While she has not played this year due to injury, Akron freshman Kailee Bransford is the sister of Notre Dame’s Bransford, so the game is a family reunion for the Irish senior.
Notre Dame is 1-0 all-time against Akron, a game played in 2011. Wednesday’s contest will tip off on ACCNX at 7 p.m. Jack Rinaldi, Molly O’Malley and Tyler Reidy will be on the call from Purcell Pavilion.

Second Half

SOUTHERN INDIANA WOMEN’S BASKETBALL NEWS
USI MAKES FIRST ROAD TRIP OF SEASON TO SAINT LOUIS
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball heads on the road for the first time this season when the Screaming Eagles travel to Saint Louis University on Wednesday for a 7 p.m. tipoff.
Wednesday’s game can be seen through Billikens All-Access (link accessible through usiscreamingeagles.com) and heard on The Spin 95.7 FM.
The Screaming Eagles (1-1) are coming off a 79-77 loss at home last Friday against Murray State University. A back-and-forth battle between the two sides came down to the wire. After senior guard Ali Saunders hit a game-tying three with two seconds left, Murray State had just enough time to score a buzzer-beating layup to get the win.
After missing the season opener against Franklin College, Saunders led USI with 23 points against Murray State for the most points she has scored while in a USI uniform. Junior guard Sophia Loden dropped a career-high 21 points and pulled down a career-best 12 rebounds for her first career double-double.
Loden paced the Screaming Eagles in the first week of the regular season, averaging 16 points and nine rebounds over the first two games. In the season opener against Franklin, Loden had an all-around performance of 11 points, six boards, five assists, and five steals.
Junior forwards Chloe Gannon and Amiyah Buchanan also tallied double figures in each of the first two games last week. Gannon notched 17 points against Franklin and 10 against Murray State. Buchanan was consistent, netting 10 points in each contest.
Saint Louis (1-2) concludes a three-game homestand with Wednesday’s game against USI. The Billikens dropped their first two games of the season before picking up a 62-58 home win last time out on Sunday against the University of Northern Iowa. Saint Louis came from behind in the fourth quarter to get past the Panthers.
Graduate guard Alexia Nelson led the Billikens with 17 points, while fellow graduate guard Zya Nugent posted a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Nugent and Nelson lead the Billikens in scoring on the season with 17.7 and 13.7 points, respectively.
USI and Saint Louis meet for the ninth time in series history, with the Billikens leading the all-time series, 5-3. The two teams have split home wins since renewing the series in 2023. USI won at home inside Liberty Arena last season, 71-59. Loden and Saunders tallied 12 and 11 points, respectively, in last season’s matchup.
Following Wednesday’s road game, USI will be back home for the next two games over the next couple of weeks. The Screaming Eagles’ next game will be against Indiana University East on Monday, November 17, at 6 p.m. inside Liberty Arena.

INDIANAPOLIS – Four UIndy men’s soccer student-athletes earned 2025 All-GLVC honors per the league office on Tuesday.
The Greyhounds claimed two first team honors, graduate student Gio Terlizzi and junior Joey Longo. Along with Longo’s first team accolade, he was also this year’s team recipient of the James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award, which is the second consecutive year he has earned this award.
The student-athletes chosen for the James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award are individuals who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. These individuals must also be in good academic standing and have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting.
Joining Longo and Terlizzi, the Hounds also had one second team member, Alvaro Sanchez, and one third team honoree, Kabiru Gafar.
This year marks the first time that both Longo and Terlizzi have made appearances on the All-GLVC list, after the two combined for nine goals and six assists in the 2025 campaign. Terlizzi led the team in goals (6), and points (15).
Sanchez his second straight All-GLVC honor this season, after claiming a third team nomination last season. Sanchez began the season on a tear, recording a goal or assist in six of the team’s first nine games, including a stellar two goal performance in UIndy’s 5-2 win over Findlay.
Gafar rounds out the list of Greyhounds on this year’s All-GLVC list, and earns his first All-GLVC honor since his standout 2022 season that led to him winning GLVC Freshman of the Year. His 2025 season saw him tally three goals and five assists, while also piling up 32 shots on the season which ranked second on the team only behind Sanchez.

MARIAN MEN’S BASKETBALL NEWS
MARIAN’S SECOND HALF SURGE NOT ENOUGH IN LOSS TO NO. 21 INDIANA TECH
INDIANAPOLIS – Marian built an early lead Wednesday night, but failed to hold their edge throughout the game, as No. 21 Indiana Tech used a 24-6 first half run to take the lead for good as the Knights fell 88-79 in their fourth game of the season. The loss drops the men’s basketball team to 0-4.
Marian got off to a strong start Tuesday night, going through Ron Rutland III and Dylan Moles in the opening minutes, with the pair of guards combining for 12 early points. Marian led 15-8 at the opening media timeout behind the strong start, but after the break, suffered a lapse on defense, giving up an 8-0 run that allowed Indiana Tech to take 16-15 edge. Blake Russell’s first basket of the game pulled the Knights back on top, while an Aaron Humphrey Jr. fastbreak layup ensured a 19-18 lead going into the second media timeout.
Baskets from Rutland and Elhadj Diallo helped Marian stay in front out of the timeout, while another jumper from Rutland with 7:32 extended the Knights’ lead to seven at 25-18. After the make from Rutland III, Marian’s fortune began to turn, as the Warriors went on a commanding 24-6 run in the final seven minutes of the half. A three from Logan Beaston started the visiting scoring spree, as the Warriors would go on to make 10 of their final 12 shots in the period to take a 42-31 lead at the break.
The Warriors continued to stay on top as the second half began, scoring five of the first nine points in the period to push their lead to 12. The Knights took a quick timeout to try and halt the Indiana Tech start, but were unable to contain the scoring as the deficit grew to 13. Dylan Moles and Joshua Renfro put pressure on the Warriors coming out of the next stoppage in the game as the scores slashed the difference to seven, but a quick answer from Blake Davison kept Indiana Tech in the lead.
Indiana Tech gradually pushed their lead to 13 points as the clock neared the 10-minute mark of the second half, taking a 66-53 edge over Marian. The Knights would eventually fall behind by by 16 points with 8:36 to play, but slowly mounted a comeback attempt with scores from Renfro and Diallo. Aidan Franks’ lone make of the evening with 6:44 to play cut the score to 11, with a Luke Carroll layup moments later making the contest a three-possession game.
The score from Carroll made it a 71-62 score, but Marian was unable to pick up a stop on their ensuing possession, as Indiana Tech’s Branden Northern scored inside to move the lead back into double digits. The score going into the final media timeout deflated Marian’s comeback chances, and Indiana Tech would cash in, using a 7-0 run following a three from Diallo to make the game a 15-point contest. The late push turned the game into an 82-67 score, sealing the victory for the Warriors, who would close the game with an 88-79 final score.
Renfro and Humphrey Jr. led Marian in scoring with 16 points each, while Rutland III scored 13 points in addition to seven assists. Humphrey finished the game with a double-double, securing 12 rebounds in the loss. Moles scored 12 points, and Diallo led the bench with 12 points.
Marian shot 40 percent from the floor in the loss, while holding a plus-six margin in rebounds. The Knights committed just three turnovers as a team in the loss.
Marian will return to the hardwood this Saturday at 5:00 p.m. when they are scheduled to host IU-Southeast.
