ESPN has released its full schedule for the 2014 Tip-Off Marathon, which will once again serve as the unofficial opening night of the college hoops season.

For the fourth straight year, the marathon will be headlined by the Champions Classic doubleheader, which will feature Duke taking on Michigan State, and then a potential top five showdown between Kentucky and Kansas. Those games will both be played in Indianapolis.

Also highlighting the marathon will be Florida and Miami meeting in the regular season for the first time since 2005, a potential battle of ranked foes featuring SMU and Gonzaga, and Wichita State looking to defend its regular season winning streak (which dates back to March of 2013) against Memphis.
