ASU vs FIU December 18

School might be out for ASU students but the Red Wolves have no time for a break. Following Monday's 75-58 win over Mississippi Valley State, the ASU men's basketball team will face Florida International for its 2008 conference opener.

The Red Wolves are undefeated at home this season in four regular season games with their only losses coming against Ole Miss and Missouri State with a record of 7-2. Junior Donald Boone leads ASU with 12 points per game. Boone is also second in steals (11) and assists (18). Eric McKinney is second on the squad scoring 8.4 points per game while leading the squad with 6.9 rebounds per game.

Florida International stands at 4-6 and has lost five of their last six outings. Nikola Gacesa leads the Golden Panthers with 11 ppg and is their second leading rebounder with 48. FIU holds wins over E. Kentucky (57-54), Monmouth (80-61), Toledo (50-46) and Florida Memorial.

ASU is 9-8 in Sun Belt Conference openers dating back to 1991.

It's time for a Wolf attack!
