Nevada basketball will kick off its 2016-17 season in grand fashion.
The Wolf Pack has scheduled its inaugural "Arch Madness" event for Oct. 21, a showcase that will feature a skills competition, 3-point shooting competition and a dunk contest.
As an added twist, the event will be held in downtown Reno. A temporary court will be put in underneath the arch. Admission will be free.
Teams around the country have held Midnight Madness events for more than a decade but the Wolf Pack has never joined the fray until now. The event will feature the men's and women's basketball teams.
