Florida International had a 6-foot-11 center named Adrian Diaz, who scored 33 points. Georgia Southern had, well, Jelani Hewitt. The senior guard matched Diaz’s 33 points and made a pair of clutch free throws when the game was in doubt as the Eagles held off FIU 78-72 on Monday in Hanner Fieldhouse.
