MIAMI (December 29, 2017) - The FIU men's basketball team closes out the 2017 calendar year on Saturday, Dec. 22, as the Panthers begin Conference USA play against league rival Florida Atlantic. Tipoff at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center is slated for 7 p.m. and will be broadcast on CUSA.tv with A.J. Ricketts calling the action. Saturday's game against the Owls is the first of three-straight C-USA games that FIU will play at home to begin league competition.
FIU looks to get its winning mojo back after dropping three of its last four games - prior to the holiday break - which comes after winning the previous four-of-five games.
