Florida International @ Howard
Current Records: Florida International 4-4; Howard 4-8
What to Know
The Florida International Panthers will hit the road for the second straight game as they head to Burr Arena at 8 p.m. ET Tuesday. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
The Panthers came up short against the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles last week, falling 74-65.
Meanwhile, the Howard Bison came up short against the VCU Rams on Sunday, falling 70-60. Despite the loss, Howard got a solid performance out of guard Bryce Harris, who had 13 points.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Florida International is expected to win a tight contest. Now might not be the best time to take Florida International against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.
Florida International is now 4-4 while Howard sits at 4-8. Two defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Panthers are second worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 77.6 on average. The Bison have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 13th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 76.9 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
