Ocean Bank Convocation Center to Host Florida International Panthers vs Alabama A&M Bulldogs in Women's Basketball
As the Florida International Panthers prepare to host the Alabama A&M Bulldogs at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent performance trends. The Panthers have shown a mixed bag of results in their last few outings, with a narrow victory against Bethune-Cookman Wildcats (54-51) and an impressive win over Jacksonville Dolphins (88-81), but also a defeat to Georgia Southern Eagles (69-81).
In their latest game against Bethune-Cookman, the Panthers displayed resilience by securing a win despite being outscored in the final quarter. Their shooting from inside the arc was efficient at 50 percent, contributing significantly to their points in paint. However, they will need to address ball handling as they turned over possession 26 times.
The previous match saw an even better offensive display against Jacksonville Dolphins where they managed an impressive 46 points in paint and capitalized on turnovers with 32 points off them. Their assist-to-turnover ratio improved notably to 0.76 indicating better ball movement and decision-making.
Despite these strong performances, there is room for improvement especially from beyond the arc where shooting percentages were low across both games. Additionally, personal fouls have been high which could be concerning against disciplined teams.
The upcoming game presents another opportunity for the Panthers to showcase their strengths and work on weaknesses before conference play intensifies. With home-court advantage at Ocean Bank Convocation Center—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere—the team will look to leverage fan support and familiarity with playing conditions.
Fans can catch all the action on December 19th at 5 PM local time as FIU aims for another victory on home soil.
