SYRACUSE -- Chairs were empty.

Computer screens blank.

Hallways empty.

It can mean only one thing, it's time to watch the Big East Tournament!

Although the Orange was one and done in the conference tournament this year, plenty of SU fans made the most of the game.

The law firm Bond, Schoeneck and King, as well as the accounting firm Dermody, Burke and Brown hosted a "Dress Down Day" for the United Way.

Employees were allowed to wear jeans and orange for the game if they made a contribution. The game meant a much needed break from the daily grind to enjoy the game.

DB&B CEO Madelyn Hornstein says stopping work in the middle of the day could be a bad thing, but not at her office.

"I have to imagine that a lot of businesses, when they here it's a noon game, they cringe because they realize they're not going to be as productive. But in our case we're taking advantage of it and making the most of it."

DB&B raised over $1,500 today for the United Way.
