For one night, the AmericanAirlines Arena was Panther territory. Blue-and-Gold spirit was omnipresent March 14 as the Miami HEAT took on the the Philadelphia 76ers.
Panthers entered before doors opened to watch players warm up, and got their chance at glory with one free throw on the HEAT court following the game. Panther kids helped form a fan tunnel and hi-fived players as they walked onto the court.
HEAT player and former FIU hoops star Carlos Arroyo met and took photos with fans after the Miami HEAT defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 104-91.
I'm really glad to see that President Rosenberg is present in almost every event. I've always believed that, in general, there's not much of a school spirit in FIU, so I think is great that he, who I'm sure has more important things to do, is setting the example.
