Men's Basketball Announces 2006-07 Schedule
Aug. 17, 2006
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami men’s basketball team will play 15 games against teams that reached postseason last season, highlighted by visits from three-time NCAA Champion Duke, perennial SEC power Mississippi State, intra-state rival Florida State, and cross town rival Florida International.
“This season’s schedule will be a tough test as we continue to build this basketball program,” said head coach Frank Haith. “Our non-conference games against Louisville, Massachusetts and Northwestern on the road, Nebraska in the Orange Bowl Classic, and Mississippi State here at home should help prepare us for the always difficult ACC schedule.”
Miami opens its 2006-07 season at home against Florida International on November 11. The Hurricanes’ non-conference schedule includes several tough tests including a trip to Northwestern for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge on November 28, a home game versus Mississippi State on December 11, and trips to Louisville (Dec. 23) and Massachusetts (Jan. 2). Miami will face Nebraska at this season’s Orange Bowl Basketball Classic, December 30 at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, FL.
Miami opens ACC play this season at home against Georgia Tech on December 3 at the BankUnited Center. The Hurricanes’ ACC home schedule includes visits from Wake Forest (Jan. 6), Duke (Jan. 14), Virginia Tech (Jan. 23), Boston College (Feb. 7), NC State (Feb. 10), Virginia (Feb. 21) and Florida State (March 3).
The Hurricane’s ACC road schedule includes games at Maryland (Jan. 10), Boston College (Jan. 16), Florida State (Jan. 20), North Carolina (Jan. 31), Virginia (Feb. 3), Wake Forest (Feb. 17), Virginia Tech (Feb. 24), and Clemson (Feb. 28).
Season ticket packages for the 2006-07 men’s basketball season start at just $199 and include tickets to all 15 regular season home games (less than $13.50 per game).
