College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon: 24 Hours Of Live Coverage

The 24-hour college hoops tip-off marathon is back and Mike Rutherford is ready to chronicle every minute of the madness...or just slowly slip into a black abyss of insanity.

ESPN’s 4th annual college hoops tip-off marathon gets underway tonight at midnight and won’t stop until around 1 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Despite the fact that I didn’t get much sleep last night, have been sick for the past week, had a failed attempt at a nap earlier, and really think I pulled something in my right arm reaching to plug in a phone charger over the weekend, I’m going to be here with you for every second. Just follow along via the stream for the full descent into madness.
