AIKEN, SC--The USC Aiken men’s and women’s basketball teams will be holding their annual “Midnight Madness” on Tuesday, October 14 beginning at 9:00 PM. The event, co-hosted by the athletic and student activities departments, gives fans a chance to catch a glimpse of the teams as the 2003-04 season officially begins at one second past midnight.

Beginning at 9:00 PM, comedian Alexandra McHale will take the stage. At 10:00 PM, games and giveaways will entertain the crowd until the official welcome occurs after 11:00 PM. Throughout the night, performances by the cheerleaders and dance team, a Greek unity step show, and three cash prize giveaways totaling $300 will take place.

Just after midnight, both teams will be introduced, take the floor, and treat the fans to intrasquad scrimmages and three-point shooting contests.

Doors open at 8:45 PM to “The Courthouse” in the SAC and admission is free. Concessions will be available throughout the night.
