Big West member Hawai‘i will appear in the seventh annual ESPN College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon, hosting High Point on Nov. 18 at 12:00 a.m. HT.  The game will be nationally televised on ESPN2.



The Marathon features 24 consecutive hours of live programming across ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU, highlighting coast-to-coast matchups that usher in the beginning of college basketball season.  The schedule includes 17 men’s games and two top-25 women’s match ups concluding with the fourth annual State Farm Champions Classic from Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.  The neutral-site, early-season men’s doubleheader that matches four of the winningest programs against each other begins with College GameDay Covered by State Farm from inside the arena at 6 p.m. ET, followed by preseason-ranked No. 18 Michigan State vs. No. 2 Duke at 7 p.m. and No. 10 Kansas vs. No. 1 Kentucky at 9 p.m. – all on ESPN.
 
The Marathon will include nine straight games tipping off every two hours beginning Monday with an ESPN2 tripleheader at 7 p.m., 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., plus two games on ESPNU.  ESPN's schedule of five consecutive games starts at noon on Tuesday and concludes with the State Farm Champions Classic.  ESPN2 will also televise a Tuesday primetime doubleheader at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.



UH has participated in all six previous Tip-Off Marathons (4-2 all-time), and its matchup with High Point is part of its annual Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic.  The Rainbow Warriors are coming off their first 20-win season since 2013-14, while the Panthers earned a berth to the NIT last year.



All telecasts will also be available through WatchESPN, accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app, and streamed on televisions through Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox 360 or Xbox One to fans who receive through video subscription from an affiliated provider.
