Midnight Madness, an event popularized by former University of Maryland head coach Lefty Driessell, is an event that unofficially kicks off the basketball season for hundreds of programs across the country by inviting fans to attend the first official public practice allowed by the NCAA. For most programs, especially blue blood programs, the event draws masses of people to see their team put on a show with a variety of basketball competitions.
In Nevada head coach Eric Musselman’s tenure, he has changed not only the on-court product of the team but also tried to add his own brand of the the three “E’s” of “effort, energy, and enthusiasm” to the off-court culture by adopting things such as his father’s circus-style warm-up, locking arms during the post-game alma mater, and his version of Midnight Madness called Arch Madness.
