​The local college basketball season is getting exciting as the Marian University men’s team won its away games last week against Grace and Taylor.  

The No. 13 Knights (19-3, 7-3 Crossroads League) defeated Grace 65-60 behind the 26 points of Franklin Central graduate Dion Smith, who has scored 20 or more points 22 times for Marian.

Smith also shined in the 75-71 win over Taylor, tallying 22 points and grabbing 10 rebounds while dishing out four assists and blocking four shots. He has seven double-doubles on the season.

The Knights were at No. 5 Indiana Wesleyan on Tuesday (result unavailable at press time).  

The No. 3 lady Knights (19-3, 10-3) had an equally impressive week as they upped their winning streak to 11 by downing Grace 79-55 and Taylor 77-56. Roncalli graduate Kellie Kirkhoff scored 10 points against Grace. 

Next up is a road game against No. 11 Indiana Wesleyan today before hosting Huntington at 1 p.m. Saturday.  
The women’s team from the University of Indianapolis (5-14, 3-6 Great Lakes Valley Conference) split a pair of games last week,  defeating Illinois Springfield 60-53 after being down 14 in the second half and losing 54-51 to McKendree (Illinois). 

The team is on the road Thursday and Saturday against Southern Indiana and Bellarmine (Louisville), respectively. 

The men’s squad upped its record to 14-3 (8-1) with two wins last week. The Hounds defeated Illinois Springfield 103-77 behind the 25 points of Roncalli graduate Jimmy King and knocked off McKendree 78-73 on Jordan Loyd’s 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds remaining. King scored 17.

These teams boast some fine players from our local high schools. I’m having a blast attending these games.
