Hilltoppers defeat FIU 91-85 for 20th win, secure No. 2 seed in C-USA Tournament bracket

The WKU men’s basketball team (20-10, 13-5 C-USA) capped the 2019-20 regular season with a win on Saturday evening, as the Hilltoppers cruised past Florida International (18-13, 9-9 C-USA) in a 91-85 road triumph in the Ocean Bank Convocation Center in Miami.

The Hilltoppers were 34-9 all-time against the Panthers, but WKU faltered during an 81-76 loss in Miami on Feb. 1, which was the last meeting between the two sides. That defeat is a distant memory now, as WKU will be heading into the C-USA Tournament as the No. 2 seed.

WKU also secured the 46th 20-win season in program history.
