UK To Be Featured In ESPNU Midnight Madness
KENTUCKY....
ESPNU will televise a four-hour Midnight Madness special Friday, October 15th, beginning at 9:00 P.M. ET. This season, which marks the fifth consecutive year on ESPNU, will feature extensive whip-around coverage from top college basketball programs around the nation. Coverage will focus on several men's programs including defending national champion Duke, and NCAA Championship participants Kentucky, Memphis, Gonzaga and Kansas State. 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. The Huskies will be the first women's team to be showcased during Midnight Madness. ESPN platforms have been covering Midnight Madness events since 1993.
