Monday evenings typically belong exclusively to the National Football League, but that won't be the case on November 3, 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 200 matchups from sea to shining sea.
Nearly every team in the nation will be on the hardwood that night, including blue bloods like North Carolina, UConn, and Kansas. Basketball fans can also look forward to cheering on a cadre of anonymous underdogs like Mary Baldwin, Georgian Court, and Farmingdale State. I mean seriously, who even knew Farmingdale 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 322, the 112th Grey Cup, the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and the NHL Global Series in Stockholm.
