College basketball teams will kick off their seasons on October 17 and ESPN is going to bring you live coverage from all over the country as teams participate in “Midnight Madness,” marking the first time they are allowed to practice this season.
ESPN will take a look at the Connecticut Huskies, who won the National Championship in both women’s and men’s hoops. They’ll also visit the Arizona Wildcats, Florida Gators, Gonzaga Bulldogs, Kentucky Wildcats and San Diego State Aztecs with reporters set up at each location.
You can also watch the six teams’ entire festivities via ESPN3.
"ESPN3 will also provide Midnight Madness coverage on Friday, Oct. 17, carrying six college basketball programs’ Midnight Madness celebrations in their entirety. In addition to UConn’s “First Night” at 7 p.m., ESPN3 will have Harvard’s “Crimson Madness” (6 p.m.), Mercer’s “Mercer Madness” (6:10 p.m.), Kentucky’s “Big Blue Madness” (7 p.m.), NC State’s “Throwback with the Pack” (8 p.m.) and Florida Gulf Coast’s “Dunk City after Dark” (9 p.m.). A week prior, ESPN3 will also carry Kansas’ “Late Night in the Phog” on Friday, Oct. 10, at 7:30 p.m."
If that isn’t enough, the SEC Network will be showing portions of Kentucky’s “Big Blue Madness” as well.
That should be a lot of fun and is certainly something for you die-hard college hoops fans to get excited about.
