Isiah 0-2 as Monmouth rolls by FIU 99-70 (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Isiah Thomas failed for the second straight time to earn his first college coaching win when Florida International was trounced by Monmouth 99-70 Friday night. Travis Taylor led the Hawks (1-0) with 18 points. Marvin Roberts led FIU (0-2) with 21. Thomas was booed at the school just an hour's drive south of New York, where he was fired after a rocky tenure as Knicks coach and executive.
