MIAMI (AP) -Jonas Brown sunk a driving layup with 1.2 seconds remaining in regulation, snapping a 66-66 tie and sending Louisiana-Monroe to a 68-66 victory Saturday night.

Alex Galindo led all scorers with 34 points and had 13 rebounds. Tony Hooper topped the Warhawks with 20 points, 16 of those coming in the first half as Louisiana-Monroe took a 35-28 lead into the break. Brown scored 14 points.
Louisiana-Monroe led by as many as 14 points at 53-39 with 10:49 to play.
But Florida International's Galindo scored 29 second-half points, including four 3-pointers and 9-of-11 from the foul line.
