2010 College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon Live-Blog

Yes, it is that time folks.

Well, let me take that back. The Tip-Off Marathon doesn't officially start until midnight tonight when Miami heads to Memphis to take on the Tigers. But starting at 7:00 pm, there will be hoops for 30 straight hours. The brains behind BIAH figured that, since there will be a solid five hours of good basketball on before the Tip-Off marathon officially begins (including games involving UCLA, Nevada, and Pacific, who will be playing the last game in the actual marathon), we should go ahead and live-blog that too.

Why not, right?

I mean, we're already destroying our sleep cycle for the week and ingesting an incredibly unhealthy amount of Red Bull, chips, and this delicious dip that my girlfriend found at Trader Joe's made out of wing sauce and blue cheese (she got +10 points for that discovery).

But our cholesterol be damned, we are determined to provide the best coverage of this college hoops marathon. So read this preview, then hit the jump and join us for what is sure to be a wild night. There may be some basketball involved as well.
