'Melo expected to attend Midnight Madness

[Orangeyes]

He joins Jonny Flynn, Wes Johnson, Derrick Coleman, Billy Owens, John Wallace, Rosie Bouie and Hakim Warrick. I hope that whoever is putting the schedule together has a little bit more men's basketball content in the form of a scrimmage. Waiting 2 hours for 10 minutes just ain't cutting it with me.

FYI I have a few extra tickets, let me know if you'd like some.

The amazing part of this (and it's great) when poor ole Tone Loc was the feature everybody would rather have gone to hell than go to MM. Now its the hottest ticket in town.

[orangefan13]

Thats beginning to sound like the best Alumni Game of all time.

 

[StopCoolio]

Wow, great news. Especially with this being on ESPNU and having the big time recruits on hand.

I’m sure this has been mentioned already but they’ll be broadcasting the whole thing in its entirety on ESPN3.

Tell me why JB would want to schedule that type of game when he is trying to figure out his lineup and bench.

Haha absolutely. I picked up 4 tickets when I heard the news this morning. My roommate did the same thing without talking to me. There's a legitimate buzz around campus now.

This is a big deal! I'm pretty excited about it and as others have mentioned when the first info about MM came out I was sorta dreading it.

 

[orangepassion]

Gotta give credit to the AD and the players for making it happen. Now we just need some signs for our recruits.

 

[BlackKnight76]

So glad our MM is going big time.

 

[SkanSU]

OK...so when is DC2 going to cancel his appearance at Kentucky and come to THE MM

 

[orangefan13]

10 minutes is awfully short.
Get all those guys together for the first time and thats it?
Even a 16 minute one with the extra six minutes and a halftime would be worth the extra 6 minutes.

 

[bballbeadle]

Already we're complaining. But I agree with you!

You know what I also wish? That Billy Edelin would come. But I know he won't.
