What to know before Miami women host UAPB at the Watsco Center

The Miami Hurricanes women’s basketball team is scheduled to host UAPB at the Watsco Center on Sunday, November 29, at 2:00 p.m. EST, and the date stands out because Miami’s promotional schedule labels it the Holiday Game. For readers heading to Coral Gables, this is the cleanest preview of what to know before tipoff, from the matchup itself to the campus setting.

Why this matchup matters

Miami’s official 2026-27 schedule lists UAPB at the Watsco Center on Sunday, November 29, at 2:00 p.m. EST, so this game is a clear anchor point on the late-November calendar. The team’s promotional schedule also labels it the Holiday Game, which gives the afternoon a seasonal frame without adding anything beyond the official listing. The venue is on the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, which gives the game a defined local setting for anyone building a day around it.

Where both teams stand

Miami women’s basketball is scheduled to host UAPB Golden Lions on Sunday, November 29, 2026, at Watsco Center at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. The program’s official schedule places the game at 2:00 p.m. EST, and Miami’s promotional calendar identifies it as the Holiday Game.

Recent form and the storyline

Miami’s official history says the women’s basketball program played its first game on January 9, 1973, and the 2022-23 team reached the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 and Elite Eight for the first time. That history gives this home date a clear place in the program’s long view.
