The Basics
- The FIU men's basketball team bent but certainly did not break on Saturday, during the first day of Conference USA's Bonus Play, as the Panthers pulled out a thrilling 79-76 gut-check win over Florida Atlantic at the FAU Arena. The win improves FIU to 17-11 on the year, and 8-7 in C-USA play, and secured its first winning season since the 2012-13 campaign, and only the second since 1999-00.
