MIAMI (AP) Otis Frazier III's 22 points helped UTEP defeat Florida International 81-73 on Saturday.

Frazier had five rebounds and three steals for the Miners (14-4, 4-1 Conference USA). Ahamad Bynum scored 18 points and added three steals. Kevin Kalu shot 4 of 5 from the field and 3 of 4 from the free-throw line to finish with 11 points.

Jonathan Aybar led the way for the Panthers (7-12, 1-5) with 17 points and two steals. Vianney Salatchoum added 14 points, six rebounds and two blocks for Florida International. Kole Williams finished with 13 points.

UTEP took the lead with 6:44 to go in the first half and never looked back. The score was 44-36 at halftime, with Frazier racking up 12 points. UTEP turned a six-point second-half lead into a 16-point advantage with a 10-0 run to make it a 54-38 lead with 14:37 left in the half. Bynum scored 13 second-half points in the win.
