Your Tip Off Marathon Open Thread!

Starting at 11pm Central, we're getting nothing but college hoops on ESPN for 24 hours straight. I imagine we'll have at least a thing or two to talk about.

One of these years, I'm going to remember to take a long nap the day before the ESPN Tip Off Marathon and stay up for the whole slate of night games. As it stands, I'm definitely going to start watching, and we'll see how things go from there.

What's the lineup, you ask? Well, here you go, with all times Central:

11pm: #19 Gonzaga 84, West Virginia 50

1am: New Mexico 86, Davidson 81

3am: Hawaii 73, Houston Baptist 60

5am: Stony Brook 54, Rider 46

7am: Valparaiso 69, Northern Illinois 46

9am: UMass 67, Harvard 64

11am: Temple 80, Kent State 66

1pm: St. John's 77, Detroit 74

3pm: Xavier 62, Butler 47

5pm: #6 Kentucky at #1 Baylor (women's game, ESPN2)

6pm: Wichita State at VCU (ESPNU)

6pm: #7 Kansas vs #22 Michigan State

7pm: Cleveland State at #5 Michigan (ESPN2)

8pm: Lehigh at Pittsburgh (ESPNU)

8pm: #3 Kentucky vs #9 Duke

9pm: North Texas or Alabama-Huntsville at Kansas State (ESPN2)

Why no, by the time the marathon starts, we still won't know who's participating in the last game, as the North Texas/Alabama-Huntsville Preseason NIT game won't end until after the WVU-Gonzaga game starts. How crazy is THAT?

If you want a breakdown on all the games, Mike Rutherford from Card Chronicle has you covered. He'll also be up for the full 24 hours, so be sure to check in on his running StoryStream here or his Twitter account or the SB Nation college hoops Twitter account! I imagine that the SB Nation account might have a GIF or two by the time things are all done.
