When
@jeremykballard
was hired as head coach at FIU in April 2018, he wanted to change the culture of the menโs basketball program, and in less than a year, he accomplished that goal. The Panthers ended the regular season with the 3rd most wins since going Division I with 19.
Through the regular season, we have had one of the best seasons in school history! We are looking forward to the C-USA Tournament next week in Frisco, TX to add on to this special season!
