Trejon Jacob scored an FIU arena-record 38 points and Brian Beard added 24 points to lead FIU past Florida Gulf Coast, 91-88, on Tuesday night at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center.
The Panthers (6-6) scored a season-high in points surpassing the 87 points that they scored in a win against South Alabama and a three-overtime loss against Elon earlier this season.
Jacob broke the FIU arena record set by former FIU guard Eric Nottage, who poured in 37 points against UAB last season.
FIU trailed 43-40 at halftime but in the final 20 minutes the Panthers went on a 16-3 run during a span of nearly five minutes midway through the second half.
