Notre Dame, IN. The Holy Cross College men’s basketball team defeated Indiana University South Bend 72-68. With the win, the Saints improve to 5-3 overall, and 2-1 in the CCAC.

For most of the first half, it was a back and forth battle with six different lead changes, but Holy Cross was able to take a 32-26 advantage at halftime.

Early in the second half Holy Cross would build on their lead, but the Titans would tie it up 63-63 with just under two minutes to play. Robby Jimenez would score the Saints last seven points to give Holy Cross the 72-68 victory.

Robby Jimenez led all scorers with 21 points, including going 4/4 from the free-throw line late to secure the Saints win. Ja’Mare Washington posted a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds, while freshman Storm Cook added 10 points and six assists. Holy Cross shot 45% from the field and 40% from behind the arc.

Men’s basketball is back in action Saturday, Nov. 25, when they travel to Indiana University Northwest for a non-conference game.
