Match Info
The Florida International Panthers edged the Missouri State Bears 70-67 in a nail-biting non-conference basketball game on February 22, 2026. FIU made a critical defensive stand in the final seconds to preserve a narrow three-point home win against a resilient Missouri State squad. The game was a defensive struggle for long stretches, with both teams employing physical man-to-man defense. FIU held a slight edge for most of the contest, but could never quite shake Missouri State, which stayed within one or two possessions. The decisive sequence came with under ten seconds left; Missouri State, down by three, ran a play for its best shooter, but FIU's defender stayed attached and forced a heavily contested three-point attempt that clanged off the rim as time expired. The standout performance came from FIU's point guard, who controlled the tempo and hit several clutch free throws in the final minute. This hard-fought win boosted FIU's overall record, while Missouri State suffered a tough loss in a game they felt they could have won. FIU's head coach praised his team's defensive execution on the final play, and Missouri State's coach said he was proud of his team's fight. The starting lineups set a physical tone that lasted the entire 40 minutes.
