Monday evenings typically belong to the National Football League, but that won't be the case on November 6, when Monday Night Football will be righteously eclipsed by the triumphant return of college hoops. While the NFL will host one measly little game that evening, the NCAA will stage a staggering 182 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 2023-24 season as the top-ranked team in the country. Basketball fans can also look forward to cheering on a cadre of anonymous underdogs like La Verne, Stonehill, and Tarleton State. I mean seriously, who even knew Tarleton 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 full to overflowing with plenty of marquee events including the Breeders' Cup, the NASCAR Cup Series Championship, UFC 295, the 110th Grey Cup, the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and the NHL Global Series in Sweden.
