MIAMI (February 11, 2017) – After North Texas picked up its first Conference USA win of the season on Thursday night, up I-95 against Florida Atlantic, the Mean Green dreamt of coming to Miami on Saturday, defeating FIU and sweeping the Sunshine State. Well, it's safe to say that the Panthers had other ideas as FIU turned North Texas's dream into a "nightmare on Elmo Street" as FIU handed the Mean Green a 90-71 loss on Lime Court at FIU Arena.
The Panthers improved to 6-19 on the year and 2-10 in C-USA, while North Texas dropped to 7-17 overall and 1-11 in league play.
