The Sun Belt Conference Attempts To Ruin Isiah Thomas Before He Can Ruin It

Florida International -- you know, the team coached by former NBA star and coach Isiah Thomas -- is struggling a bit in the Sun Belt Conference.

↵The Golden Panthers went 3-9 during the non-conference season, and they haven’t had much success in league play either.

↵Sure, Zeke’s Golden Panthers picked up a shocking 10-point overtime road win at North Texas on December 20, but FIU has dropped their other three league games. While losses to contenders Denver and South Alabama were expected, today’s setback has to be a tough one to swallow.

↵FIU lost by 10 at New Orleans, the school that announced a few weeks back that it was leaving Division I for the greener economic pastures of Division III.

↵Luckily for the Golden Panthers, they don’t face the short-timers again. However, they have to play South Alabama a second time and they face a home-and-home with the beast of the league, Western Kentucky.

↵How many days until Thomas is seen squatting on an NBA bench at the American Airlines Arena?
