CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami women’s basketball team will play its first game of February at Wake Forest Thursday night in Winston-Salem, N.C.
No. 16/16 Miami (16-5, 5-4 ACC) meets the Demon Deacons at 7 p.m., at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Miami head coach Katie Meier enters the games with 299 victories in her 16-year career.
