with Four-Hour Midnight Madness Special


ESPNU will televise a four-hour ESPNU Midnight Madness special featuring extensive whip-around coverage from top college basketball programs around the nation Friday, Oct. 15, at 9 p.m. ET on ESPNU HD.

The Connecticut women’s program – the two-time defending national champion, which is riding a 78-game winning streak (10 short of the UCLA men's record for consecutive victories in NCAA Division I basketball) – will also be featured.

My Gawd. When will the slobbering media worship for that little program out west stop? Isn't there any other west coast team that will be any good?

Seems to me that their last game last year was being pole-axed by Syracuse, while we beat another Big Greased team- Pitt to make another Sweet 16.

I wish we were playing them at Cintas this year.
