The University of Miami is pleased to announce dates for this season’s Employee Day Games presented by Verizon Wireless. Employee Day tickets are on sale now and are available to all full-time and part-time regular benefitted employees. Eligible employees will receive one (1) complimentary ticket and have the opportunity to purchase up to three (3) additional tickets for only $1 each.

The men’s team is currently on a three-game winning streak and is coming off a big victory over Ole Miss. Led by a strong core of young players like Durand Scott and Reggie Johnson, this year’s Miami squad is poised to make a strong run in the ACC conference. The UM men’s team Employee Day game is Saturday, December 4 at 4 p.m., when they take on 2010 Final Four participant West Virginia. The women’s team is on a five-game winning streak led by All-ACC guards Shenise Johnson and Riquna Williams and are sure to light up the scoreboard when they host the Women’s Employee Day game versus Boston College on Sunday, January 16 at 1 p.m. in an early home ACC game.
