MIAMI, Fla.- Head Coach Jesyka Burks-Wiley and the rest of the FIU women's basketball team has a chance to win the FIU Thanksgiving Classic tomorrow against the University of Massachusetts. Standing in the way, or on the sideline in this case, is a familiar face for Burks-Wiley. The associate head coach for UMASS, Mike Leflar, coached Burks-Wiley for all four of her years at Boston University.
Leflar coached at Boston University for 10 years, as an assistant coach from 2004-2012 and an associate head coach from 2012-2014.
"It definitely feels like a full circle moment coaching against Coach Leflar," said Burks-Wiley.
