KANSAS CITY - The 2020-21 Indiana Wesleyan men's basketball season came to a close Thursday in the 2021 NAIA Men's Basketball National Championship Round of 16 presented by Ballogy.  

No. 1 seeded IWU was upset by the Pilots of Bethel University, 83-77.

Warsaw native Kyle Mangas led the Wildcats with 22 points, eight rebounds and six assists in his final appearance on the hardwood for Wesleyan.

Spencer Piercefield hit back-to-back deep balls, and a Mangas deuce gave IWU a 44-39 point lead at the half, their largest of the game.

The Wildcats won the battle of the boards 47-38.

IWU finished shooting 42.6% from the field, 35.7% from the three-point line, and 81.8% from the charity stripe.

Seth Maxwell added 16 points and collected 15 rebounds for the Wildcats while Dylan Anderson finished with 13 points and six rebounds.
