AuburnBasketball 0 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 No not yet but I will say that everybody needs to try and go to that. Barbee has said that this is his biggest recruiting tool and if there is only 1000 people in the stands it doesn't look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjazz 0 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 If I'm where I can I certainly will go. I got something about getting season tickets yesterday. The prices were pretty reasonable so I think I will do so. I can't go to every game, but I can find someone who will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwmboom7 0 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Stupid question....What is Midnight Madness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURainman 6 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I mean this with absolutely no disrespect. This is the most auburn thread I've read on this board today. We just don't love a basketball like other people do, do we?! Midnight madness is just a tradition that most basketball programs hold where they let the team practice for the first time in front of a crowd. It's The equivalent of A-Day. For instance, Kentucky sells out Rupp Arena for it. Fans camp out, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjazz 0 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Its called Midnight Madness because the NCAA sets a specific date on which a team can begin practice. I forget who, I think Maryland was the first team to do it at 12:01 am of that day began what was really kind of an "A Day" for the fans and have it literally at midnight. Kentucky then formally called it midnight madness and it took off. I saw the one at Auburn with Chris Porter his Senior year and it was crazy with dunk contests, 3 point contests etc. plus a scrimmage. Lots of people came out for that one.

NoALtiger 3,867 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I was there for that one as well, pretty blurry eyed at that time but I made it nonetheless. It was a Friday night before a football game if I remember correctly. I think Adam Harrington won the slam comp. Good times in the BEMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,867 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Doing it on a non-football weekend is a big mistake. Surely the athletic dept folks know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
