MIAMI — FIU's men's basketball program embarks on its 2024-25 campaign on Tuesday evening, taking on the Rice Owls at 7 p.m. ET in Houston.

The Panthers hit the road to Texas and will take on a familiar opponent in Rice as both teams spent many seasons as Conference USA (CUSA) members. The Owls have since joined the American Athletic Conference (AAC) and will welcome FIU to Tudor Fieldhouse for their season opener.
