Basketball season has arrived.

Florida Atlantic hosted its version of Midnight Madness — entitled Red Hot Madness — on Thursday, Oct. 27, the first official practice to the public allowed by the NCAA to start the season.

The night was filled with several different activities, prizes and awards as well as the first chance for the fans to see the 2016-2017 men’s and women’s basketball rosters.
