The first day of practice is not that far away, on Oct. 15. And while many schools will hold a late-night “practice” in front of fans to kick off the season, we have a pair of truly mad games going on at midnight on Nov. 15, the first day games can be played.
Chatham is going to kick off the Division III basketball season for us at 12:01 a.m. EST on Nov. 15, which is a Saturday night/Sunday morning. They’ll be hosting Wilson.
“We are very excited about this unique opportunity,” Chatham coach Mark Katarski said. “We spoke with Wilson College about the idea last winter, and both agreed that it would be a great experience for the student-athletes and our fans.”
Following one hour later, St. Norbert is going to be hosting Silver Lake, a non-Division III school, in a game tipping off at midnight CST Sunday morning. The Green Knights have a long non-off day in between and host UW-Oshkosh at 7 p.m. CT on Monday.

Thanks for the info. I knew St. Norbert had a midnight game. I was just about to ask on the boards if anyone knew of any others.
