Can Florida International Panthers Outmaneuver Sam Houston Bearkats at Von Braun Center?

As the Florida International Panthers prepare to face off against the Sam Houston Bearkats, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an electrifying encounter at the Von Braun Center. The Panthers, coming off a strong performance in their last game, showcased their offensive prowess by putting up 76 points against Jacksonville State Gamecocks.

The team's scoring was well-distributed between halves with a notable surge in the second half, where they scored 43 points. This kind of momentum could be crucial as they head into their next game. The Panthers demonstrated efficiency from beyond the arc, hitting three-pointers at a fifty percent clip and maintaining an overall field goal percentage of fifty-four percent.

Defensively, FIU managed to snag ten steals and block three shots while keeping personal fouls to sixteen. Their ability to turn defense into offense was evident with nineteen fast break points and seventeen points off turnovers.
