I'm looking forward to Midnight Madness. I think it should be interesting to see how players have developed since the last season ended.
 

Sadly there will be a lack of students there, the home opener vs. Michigan State for hockey and the B.o.b homecoming concert are both at the same time.
 

Tubby’s Tip-off” or "Hoopla" will begin at 7:00 p.m Oct. 12 at Williams Arena

"Sept. 26, 2012

The University of Minnesota men’s and women's basketball programs will officially begin the season by hosting “Gopher All-Star Friday Night” on Oct. 12 at Williams Arena. The event, formally known as “Midnight Madness,” “Tubby’s Tip-off” or "Hoopla" will begin at 7:00 p.m. The entire night’s schedule is below. The Williams Arena doors will open at 7:00 p.m. in preparation for the evening’s first event.

“Gopher All-Star Friday Night” will have the look of NBA All-Star weekend and feature a two-ball shooting competition, a three-point shooting competition, a dunk contest and a scrimmage.

Also included in “Gopher All-Star Friday Night” will be prize drawings throughout the evening. The main prize includes a trip for two to the Battle 4 Atlantis, held at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The Minnesota men open the Battle 4 Atlantis on Thanksgiving Day against Duke.

The Gopher men open the 2012-13 schedule on Friday, Nov. 9 against American University at Williams Arena. The game is scheduled to tip at 7:00 p.m. Minnesota will also host a pair of exhibition games, Nov. 1 vs. Minnesota State, Mankato and Nov. 5 vs. Southwest Baptist. Both games are set to tip at 7:00 p.m.

I believe the Homecoming parade also starts at 7:00 p.m. There wasn't much coordination in the times of the events for this evening. One thing for sure, the traffic will be a real mess.
