FIU beat UTSA in the first round of the Conference USA tournament on a half-court buzzer beater Wednesday. 

After UTSA's Keon Lewis tied the game with a three-pointer, FIU's Dennis Mavin connected on a desperate heave from midcourt as time expired.

Here's how it looked from the sidelines.

• 2015 NCAA tournament: Automatic bids

Mavin, who led FIU with 15 points, drew significant contact but still managed to hit the shot.

• Traevon Jackson not likely to play in Big Ten tournament

The Golden Panthers will face UTEP in the quarterfinals Thursday at 1 p.m. ET.
