MIAMI (January 4, 2018) -- FIU women's basketball opens both the 2018 calendar year and its Conference USA schedule, on Friday night, with a 7 p.m. tip against UTEP at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center. The last time these two teams met they played an epic, 88-87 triple-overtime thriller, with FIU sophomore Kristian Hudson (Birmingham, Alabama) hitting a heave from inside the halfcourt line to win it at the buzzer.
The Panthers are 3-10 and come off an 80-70 win over Vermont last Saturday, when the team tied the school record with 13 three-point field goals in the contest.
