WACO, Texas –
Baylor's men's and women's basketball teams will host Moonlight Madness at 8:30 p.m CT on Friday, Oct. 12 at the Ferrell Center. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m., and admission is free.
Baylor
will be one of 14 sites featured during more than four hours of ESPNU
national coverage. ESPN commentator Fran Fraschilla will be reporting
live from the Ferrell Center, as the ESPNU
studio will provide fans with a "whip-around" look at highlighted teams
coast-to-coast from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. The madness coverage will extend
into its final hour on ESPNU's nightly entertainment show, UNITE, with its inaugural
Midnight Madness Special.
"The
Baylor women are more than capable of putting together a game-changing
streak and going 40-0 in consecutive seasons. Brittney Griner is the
most dominant women's player in the game by
far," ESPN basketball analyst Andy Katz said. "The Baylor men still
have a stable of talent off an Elite Eight team, especially in the
backcourt with Pierre Jackson and Brady Heslip, to be a factor in the
Big 12.''
Baylor
players will participate in slam dunk and 3-point contests, among
numerous other activities. There will also be various giveaways for fans
in attendance, and details on those promotions
will be announced at a later date.
