We’re officially in the midst of the College Basketball Season, and more importantly ESPN’s ridiculous (but awesome) “Tip Off Marathon”. Are you ready for 23 straight hours of Basketball starting tonight at Midnight?!?! I know I’m not, but I will be watching. Here is your schedule and as always, thanks to the work that The 506 puts in on these. Sorry for the holes in spots, but there’s just no way to come up with announcers from FS Ohio and Altitude for every game. If you have something or someone to share, please add it or them in the comments….
