Can the Panthers Pounce at Bernard Johnson Coliseum?

As the Florida International Panthers prepare to face off against the Sam Houston State Bearkats, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The upcoming clash is set for February 16th at Bernard Johnson Coliseum, a venue that has been known to rally local support for the Bearkats. However, the Panthers have shown they can handle pressure and turn it into motivation.

Analyzing past games reveals a promising trend for the Panthers. In their last game against Maine's Black Bears, they secured an impressive 82-74 victory. Their shooting was on point with a field goal percentage of 51 and a commendable three-point percentage of 35. They also dominated rebounds with a total of 42 compared to Maine's 26, which contributed significantly to their win.

However, consistency is key in sports, and in the game prior against Stetson's Hatters, FIU fell short with a score of 68-80. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; they maintained an assists turnover ratio of an impressive 3.6 and had only five turnovers throughout the game.

The most striking performance came against Trinity (FL) Tigers where FIU showcased their offensive prowess by racking up an astonishing scoreline of 146-55. Their field goal percentage soared at 64 percent while converting over half their three-point attempts.

These statistics suggest that when FIU gets into rhythm offensively and controls rebounds effectively, they become formidable opponents on court.

Fans should expect Florida International Panthers to leverage these strengths while being mindful of maintaining defensive solidity against Sam Houston State Bearkats' attacks.

For those looking forward to catching this exciting matchup live or from home can tune in on ESPN+ as both teams battle it out on February 16th at Bernard Johnson Coliseum in Huntsville starting from half-past midnight Eastern Time.
