The Owls held the Golden Panthers to just 40 percent shooting from the field.
Using strong defense and feeding off the energy from its bench, Florida Atlantic men’s basketball defeated Florida International University 73-64 Saturday afternoon in Boca Raton.
After seeing what was once a 14-point second half lead cut down to four with a little under four minutes remaining, the Owls (5-9, 1-2 Conference USA) held the Panthers (4-12, 0-3 Conference USA) to just four points throughout the rest of the game.
