FORT MYERS, Florida (December 11, 2016) – The FIU men's basketball team traveled across Interstate 75 and Alligator Alley to face Florida Gulf Coast in its final road game of its non-conference schedule, looking to pick up a big win and to gain confidence going into its season-long five-game homestand beginning on Dec. 15 against Georgia Southern. Unfortunately for the Panthers, the Eagles had other ideas, handing FIU an 82-63 loss Sunday night in front of a crowd of 3,112 at Alico Arena.
The loss drops the Panthers to 3-7 on the year while FGCU improves to 7-3.
