PROGRAM OVERVIEW

FIU's women's basketball program operates from the Ocean Bank Convocation Center at a 54,085-student Miami institution founded in 1965. The Panthers earned a 15-9 overall record this season under coach Jesyka Burks-Wiley, displaying significant home-court strength with a 10-4 mark at their home arena while maintaining a 5-5 conference record in Conference USA play. Through the winter season, FIU averaged 71.8 points per game while holding opponents to 66.3, demonstrating balanced offensive execution and defensive competence.

Burks-Wiley's 14-player roster proved especially effective in home games, where the team's 10 victories reflect the advantage of playing in their South Florida venue. The 5-5 split between home and road performances suggests the Panthers thrive with crowd support, while their conference record positioned them competitively within their league structure. Scoring 71.8 PPG while limiting opponents to 66.3 PPG indicates a team that prioritizes defensive discipline alongside offensive production—a formula that translated into double-digit wins for the season.
