Nze and Prahl combined to make 13 of 20 from the field, and Jeremiah Bell scored 11 points, including three 3-pointers, for Milwaukee (3-0). Milwaukee, which came in shooting 55.1 percent from the field, tied its season low with 48-percent shooting, but hit 9 of 17 from 3-point range.
Bryce Barnes hit a 3 to give Milwaukee a 31-29 lead at halftime and Jeremy Johnson scored all eight of his points - including two of Milwaukee's four 3-pointers - during a 14-2 run to open the second half and FIU trailed by double figures the rest of the way.
