What you need to know about FIU

Florida International took its game against the St. Thomas (FL) Bobcats this past Saturday by a conclusive 95-72 score. The victory ended a three-game losing streak for the Panthers and Eric Lovett led all scorers with 19 points in the win while Tevin Brewer dished out 11 assists.

Brewer is a dynamic albeit undersized 5-foot-8 guard out of Arkansas who is averaging 15.5 points, 5.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game in his third season with the program. Stopping Brewer will have to be a top priority for Reggie Theus' squad on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Bethune-Cookman netted a 66-59 victory over the Florida A&M Rattlers on Monday. The conference win was just the third of the season in Theus' first year at the helm of the program. The former NBA All-Star has had to deal with a tough non-conference schedule that he hopes will prepare his program to compete in the SWAC.

Kevin Davis dominated in the win over the Rattlers, scoring 26 points while snatching 13 rebounds, collecting three steals and blocking two shots. Davis shot 11-of-17 from the floor and is now averaging 10.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game having played just four times this season.
