Attention college hoops fans! Midnight Madness strikes tonight at 7 PM local time! (Yeah, it kinda loses something there at the end.)

Arizona takes part in midnight-ish madness

Gators' madness to begin before midnight

Midnight Madness hits Illinois

College hoops tradition goes prime time
Find some space between the baseball playoffs and those college football rivalries. College basketball is officially back at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, or a little earlier if you want. With new NCAA rules allowing those staging Midnight Madness to start three hours earlier in prime time for the fans' sake, college basketball practice really gets under way Friday night with plenty of fanfare.
