Monday evenings typically belong to the National Football League, but that won't be the case on November 4, when Monday Night Football will be righteously eclipsed by the triumphant return of men's and women's college hoops. While the NFL will host one measly game that evening, the NCAA will stage a staggering 358 matchups from sea to shining sea.
Nearly every team in the nation will be on the hardwood that night, including blue bloods like Duke, Kentucky, and Kansas, which enters the season as the top-ranked men's team in the country for the second straight year. Basketball fans can also look forward to cheering on a cadre of anonymous underdogs like Life Pacific, Pfeiffer, and Frostburg State. I mean seriously, who even knew Frostburg was a state? It's all a prelude to March Madness, when the entire country falls under a collective case of hoops hysteria for one glorious month.
The return of college basketball isn't the only thing sports fans can look forward to in November. The month is positively overflowing with marquee events including the Breeders' Cup, the NASCAR Cup Series Championship, UFC 309, the 111th Grey Cup, the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and the NHL Global Series in Finland.
